Las Vegas - Betting on some football today, but not the NFL preseason. VERY excited about the start of the English Premier League this afternoon, and gonna throw down on the defending champs, Manchester City over Burnley. If there's ever a time to back a 3/1 favorite, it's NOW. City has been on top of the soccer mountain for a few years now, and looking at the lineup, we don't see much of a drop-off. The Citizens take the short 20 mile trip to Turf Moor and should be able to handle the Clarets, just like they've done for the last few years. History tells us that City has a 15-0-1 record against Burnley and you GOTTA sit down to read this next stat. In the last 11 meetings, Manchester has scored 40 goals and guess how many the Clarets put in the net? One, ONE STINKIN' GOAL. So, despite the high price, the FORTY to ONE goal edge tells me it's time to open the wallet for the Blues and make some GREEN!

For your wagering pleasure, here is your spread stat of the day. Looking at an N.L. Central matchup between the Reds and Pirates. Cincy was flying high for a few minutes after young phenom Elly De La Cruz came up, but the last couple of weeks have been brutal. The Reds have dropped eight of the last nine and the bats have gone quiet, with a 7-0 run to the UNDER (EckSTATS do not include last night's games).
