FANCY UNITED VS FRANCHISE

A short BO1 match with one of the best teams in SEA (Fancy) vs Franchise, an indian underdog team.

Both have played very well this season with a winrate over 60% however, Franchise is simply no match for a big team like Fancy. 

FRANCHISE has played very few games and have little to almost no experience against the top teams so it is VERY unlikely they will win. The best feat they have is them eliminating most of the Indian teams but fail to defeat any other outside their region. They also lost to Alter ego, with a 9-13. AE is formidable and an even rivalry towards Fancy.

Fancy United on a 4 winstreak is a powerhouse dominating many teams. Although they lost to an upset against Revenant Esports, they still continue to perform at the top of their form later on.

 

MY PREDICTION:

Under 20.5 rounds are to pass. Fancy will dominate Franchise easily.

Arsenal’s exceptional start to the season has seen them win 21 points from a possible 24 and means they head into this round of Premier League (PL) action top of the table and with the mood in the camp high. They’ve experienced an especially morale-boosting week, when consolidating their North London derby victory last weekend with a thorough 3-0 win over Bodø/Glimt on Thursday, when they fielded a much changed team.

Liverpool won nine of those 13 fixtures (D3, L1) including each of the last four and could win five consecutive league matches against the Gunners for the first time ever, and that’s something that’d be most welcome given their sluggish start to the new PL campaign (W2, D4, L1). Manager Jürgen Klopp is particularly fond of facing Arsenal as against no other English side does he have more managerial wins than the Gunners (12 - tied with Crystal Palace).

A duel of in-form number nines could decide the fate of this encounter, with Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus scoring five goals in five home games against Liverpool, while their top-scorer this season, Roberto Firmino, has scored more goals against Arsenal than any other PL opponent (nine). He is also just one goal away from becoming the highest scorer in this PL fixture.

 My prediction: Less than 3 with a 1.970 odd

Premier League and what should be a strait forward win, although when ever betting on Man UTD you can never be sure as it completely depends on how up for it the players are and what formation the manager picks. Even though Man UTD have been well below par they still have had the better of this fixture in recent years and I think today will be no different. Everton are slowly climbing the table after a poor start but the same can be said for UTD, this will be a different team to the one we saw in the Europa League and one that will be looking to score goals. It won't be an easy game for UTD but one they will feel they can win so my pick is Man UTD win @2.05 on Bet365.

NFL 

Miami Dolphins VS New York Jets

Observation- Miami is 3-1-0 and is 1st in the AFC east, and NY is 2-2-0 and is 3rd in AFC east. Miami has shown that they are on the hunt this year with a win over buffalo which in my opinion is the best team this year and also defeating Baltimore which is also a team that is good . There opening game for the season was against New England which they defeated as well. The Jets on the other hand has also played well and after comming in dead last, last season they have something to prove. Jets have been decent this year so far but miami is in another league all together the jets dont stand a chance here. When miami was behind against Baltimore, they trailed by 24 points going into the 4th quarter and they came back scoring 28 to win the game which means pressure is no problem to them.   Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle expected to play vs. Jets which is a big deal seeing how Tyreek Hill was expected to be on injury list for shoulder but is good to go for this game which make a big difference seeing how they lost to Cinnciniti because he was out that game. 

Prediction is Miami to win at 1.55

=> Under 227.5 pts 1.71 odds.
A little eyes are cut from such TOtal after the summer games. Since there the Chicago total was barely breaking through 95.5. 
Let's start with the fact that Chicago, in my opinion, entered the preseason perfectly. They lost the first match - the New Orleans Pelicans on the case, as they gave up the first half of the game, but it is worth noting that not without a fight, since they won the second half confidently. The score of the match was 125:129. But after they beat the Denver Nuggets with a confident score, 131:113. Toronto has already played three matches, and as the games have shown, the team is just working out the attacking line. They are not afraid to miss, and they work poorly for interceptions. But can be lower today.

ESports. Dota 2 match Navi vs T1. Navi had a great group stage, did not lose a single game and took first place. T1, in turn, took 4th place in their group. I watched the match of the Korean team against Virtus and I will say that they make a lot of mistakes, and if the bears themselves had not made mistakes, they would hardly have been able to take points in this match. If we compare the level of play of Navi and T1, I still prefer the Navi team, which, in my opinion, plays more consistently both in the lane and in the macro. Of course, at the group stage, it is unlikely that these teams revealed all their strata, so the result can be anything, but I still believe in those born to win.

My betting pick will be Natus Vincere win { Navi } 1.81 odds.

1. The Spurs were 10th in the West last season. This position allowed San Antonio to make the play-in. True, it was not possible to get a ticket to the playoffs. Immediately in the first round, They lost to New Orleans (103:113).

2. It is unlikely that the Spurs will be able to perform better in the new season. There was no significant improvement. Moreover, the Spurs lost Dejonte Murray, who will now defend Atlanta. the offense is bad right now. Because of this, They lost to Houston (96:134) and Orlando (99:102).

3. At the end of last season, New Orleans managed to get Jonas Valanciunas and CJ McCollum. These are very good acquisitions. The newcomers immediately became the leaders of the Pelicans and helped the team win a ticket to the play-in.

4. In the new season, the team from Louisiana may surprise. Still, the Pelicans also still have Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson. In the preseason, the team managed to defeat Chicago (129:125) and Detroit.

Bet: Under 216.5

Odds: 1.9
