PICK LOST

Bari is standing great on table on 9th place. But Atalanta is in bad shape with only 17 points from 22 matches and on 19 place. Atalanta never won against Bari at home stadium. In last 5 Atalanta have only 1 win and a draw. Bari is better with 2 draws and a win. Both teams have some injuries issues, but Atalanta is in bigger problems with injuries and thats why this is great pick on Bari not to lost at Atalanta.

PICK WON

Wolfsburg is this season not so good. They are at low 11th place. Againsttt Bayern they play many times and many time was over, last match Bayern won 0-3 and match before was won by Wolfsburg with 3-2. At home Wolfsburg is playing 58% of the time over and Bayern on road 48% over. In last matches we see that Bayern is hot and scoring allot, they have score 2 or more goals in last 9 matches, and im pretty sure Wolfsburg will score at least one goal.

Aston Villa at Tottenham Hotspur

February, 6 2010. 1:30 PM EST

The North American sporting world is eagerly awaiting the opening kickoff of one biggest events of the year: Super Bowl XLIV. Peyton Manning leads the Indianapolis Colts against the New Orleans Saints, and the Super Bowl line favors the AFC Champs.  Across the pond, however, sports fans are following their own football matches.

Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa take the field in pivotal matchup in the Barclay’s English Premier League. Only two points separate fourth place Tottenham and seventh place Villa in a very crowded table. Liverpool and Manchester City sit at fifth and sixth respectively with 41 ones each. All these teams have a shot to make in into the top four, but a lose here, and Villa’s hopes will take a severe blow.

Villa is coming off a big 2-0 win on the road against Fulham.  The match saw English striker Gabriel Agbonlahor net the two goals to give Villa much needed three points to keep pace. Their schedule has not been easy, but the Villains have played strong despite a myriad of injuries. Last week they upset Arsenal in a 0-0 draw at Villa Stadium. Last week’s win over Fulham capped a month in which Villa did not lose one match. The Villains hope to continue their strong play leading up to next’s week match against Manchester United.

Some more good news for the Villains will give them an added offensive attack. Striker John Carew looks to return from a knee injury, and Stephen Warnock is hopeful as well.

The Spurs meanwhile are coming off a disappointing draw to Birmingham, missing a good opportunity to try and break away from the pack. They have also seen a shakeup in their locker room, as Robbie Keane has been loaned to the Scottish League, leaving a hole for his teammates to fill.  Tottenham hasn’t lost an Engligh Premier match since early December, a string of eight games. Saturday’s match against Aston Villa will be one of the toughest matches in quite some time.

Betting Lines

Tottenham:      +110

Villa:               +240

Tottenham has played strong of late and looks to continue their successful ways against a banged up Villains club.  At home in White Hart Lane, Tottenham has excelled this year, winning eight, drawing one, and losing only three.  The betting lines are available, and the Spurs are the favourite at home. Don’t underestimate the Villains, however. They have played well in their last few matches, and are surely uplifted by their successes. They are getting healthier and have boast a good road record in the Premiership.

The NFL Super Bowl garners a lot of bets, but if you are playing American football and European football, be sure to have some sound betting management skills. The Colts, Peyton Manning, and Aston Villa are all riding strong momentum and look poised to snatch victory.

With all of the focus this week states side being on the Super Bowl odds and the last week of NFL picks, there are some big happenings across the pond in some European Football.

The big story that has rocked the soccer landscape takes place in Great Britain on the Premier League’s top team, Chelsea. Captain John Terry has been publically humiliated in a Tiger Woods-esque way in England when it was revealed that he had been having an affair with fellow defenseman and teammate Wayne Bridge’s wife. Terry’s wife and Bridge’s wife were good friends and the backlash has reached crazy proportions across the sea even though Bridge was traded almost a year ago.

The Media has chastised Terry and is calling him to relinquish the captaincy of England’s World Cup squad for this summer. English fans have been relentless in booing Terry and even Chelsea fans have turned on their leader. Terry is still an elite defenseman in the Premier League and Bridge was traded to Manchester City as this ordeal forced Bridge to want obviously wanted off the squad. A court injunction about the complaint has been made public as a judge ruled that Terry was just worried about losing sponsorship money and felt the public should know. Terry was recently named “Father of the Year” to make matters worse.

Terry is just another in a long line of athletes that have been womanizers. He is not the first in a line of teammates sleeping with other teammates’ wives or girlfriends, but never in any of those cases has it ended well. Sleeping with a teammate’s wife is a line that is rarely crossed. Terry has indeed suffered a loss of sponsors and his popularity is at an all-time low. He deserves a lot of it, and Terry has lost millions because of it, along with the public shame that he gets from fans on every road game, and even at home games.

Terry and Bridge are both on the England national team and it will be a wonder how they co-exist. The United States has England in its pool for the first round of World Cup play this year, and the ever improving state of U.S. soccer may now have a British implosion to reap the benefits of.

This is a big deal and a historic scumbag move by England’s captain. He will never live this one down, but may relish in the bad boy role if he is smart. If you think what Tiger Woods did was bad, go and read all the details about the best team in the Premier League’s top defender. There really isn’t much worse you can do to a teammate, let alone someone who you called a friend. Bridge has since left his now former wife and has been a star for Manchester City.

5dimes review: On February 27^th, Chelsea and Man City will meet in Chelsea. It will be an interesting to see what kind of revenge Bridge’s teammates’ will seek on Terry. And they should, because that’s what a teammate and friend does.
