Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach EPL Rotation #200145 Friday Free Pick OVER 2 goals in Wolverhampton vs Crystal Palace @ 4 ET - The scoring in the Premier League has finally trended downward after a hot start with a lot of goals across the league. However, as a result, odds makers are forced to adjust on the fly and plus the marketplace tends to adjust too quickly as well. In this case I feel a total of 2 goals is offering great value on the over. In looking at Crystal Palace's 6 matches this season they have only produced a clean sheet 1 time and an opponent has produced a clean sheet against them only 1 time. in other words, the likelihood that Crystal Palace does not allow a goal is very low and it is also highly unlikely that they do not score a goal either. Keep in mind, Crystal Palace road matches last season averaged 2.4 goals and that same 2.4 average is what Wolverhampton matches on their home pitch produced. Taking a look at Wolves action this season, yes they were involved in very low-scoring matches with Fulham and Leeds United but those clubs just got moved up to the Premier League this season. The Wolves other 4 fixtures this season have averaged 3 goals per match and that is what I am expecting here. FREE PICK OVER 2 goals in Wolverhampton

Daytime Dominator - Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach EPL Rotation #200146 Friday 10* Top Play Wolverhampton Wanderers Money Line +110 vs Crystal Palace @ 4 PM ET - The Wanderers will be a determined group for this one. The Wolves are off a 1-1 draw last weekend which saw Newcastle score the equalizer at the 89th minute. Wolverhampton wants the full 3 points here in the table and are at home and I don't see them being denied. The Wolves are highly motivated as they are just behind Crystal Palace in the standings and that is on goal differential. Of course it is early in the season but the Wolves are well aware of the fact that a draw here still leaves them behind Crystal Palace in the standings. Wolverhampton enters this match as the healthier team and the Wolves had a positive goal differential of 8 goals on their home pitch last season while Crystal Palace had a negative goal differential of -14 goals on enemy pitch last season. Crystal Palace won only 5 of 19 road games last season while Wolverhampton lost only 4 of 19 home games last season. We are early in the new campaign and I feel too much value is being given to Crystal Palace here given the above and note that they are off a win (albeit against Fulham) and the Wolves will prove to be the hungrier club here. 10* WOLVERHAMPTON Money Line +110

Primetime Punisher - Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach CFB Rotation #108 Friday 10* Top Play Tulsa Golden Hurricane (-) vs East Carolina Pirates @ 9 ET - Last season Tulsa outgained East Carolina by a margin of 286 yards and that was on the road! Not only that, this is the first home game of the season for the Golden Hurricane and so I expect them to roll big here. Normally I don't like laying big numbers but this is a rare exception. Not only is this one quite a mismatch in terms of talent level of these two teams, the Pirates have also been hit by covid-19 issues. This has even hit their starting QB but he is expected to play in this game but he and other players have missed practice time and there have been quarantine issues and the list goes on. I know that East Carolina can score some points but the Tulsa defense has been fantastic this season and I expect that to continue here. In terms of common opponents, East Carolina faced UCF and they were at home for that game and still got blasted by 23 points. Tulsa faced the same Knights team and they were on the road for that game and yet got a huge upset win as they won outright by 8 points as a 3-TD underdog. The Golden Hurricane are allowing only 18.3 points per game this season while the Pirates are allowing 37.8 points per game. Defense and the fact that this is Tulsa's first home game of the season will prove to be the difference in this game. East Carolina is allowing 212.8 rushing yards per game and last season the Golden Hurricane ran for 338 yards against the Pirates and that was on the road! 10* TULSA

Game of the Week - Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach EPL Rotation #200153 Saturday 10* Top Play Chelsea Goal Line -1 -110 @ Burnley @ 11 AM ET - Chelsea has had a sluggish start to the season but their prized acquisitions to give them more on the offensive attack are starting to come together. That means the next team in line will have to pay for the frustrating start to the season for the Blues. That said, this situation has all the elements I look for in a very big play. As a result of Chelsea being on the road for this one we get line value. Burnley, though on their home pitch, is likely to prove to be the perfect punching bag for the Blues to take out their frustration. Of course that is why the money line on this is up to as high as a -200 because I am not the only one that sees the likelihood of a Chelsea win here! There are other sharps out there that see the same thing. That said, where the value is here is with the goal line. With this particular match that means laying 1 goal on Chelsea and that gives us a pick'em price in the -110 range. I feel that is the much better value than laying nearly 2 to 1 odds on the money line. That said, of course a 1-goal win for the Blues would result in a push with our bet here but I am quite confident of a blowout in this one. Why? Burnley has totaled just 3 goals in their 5 fixtures this season! Chelsea, on the other hand, is off a 4-0 win in Champions League action and AVERAGING 2 goals per match in Premier League action this season and they averaged 2 goals per game in their road matches last season! Burnley was delivered a clean sheet in their only two matches on their home pitch this season. They will again struggle to score in this one and the road team pulls away for a win by a multiple goal margin. 10* CHELSEA Goal Line -1 goal -110
