Good Luck on the picks today everyone! I think that Lyon +.5 is money. I dont see how Madrid is going to win without Ronaldo and Raul. They are going to be in big trouble and I think Lyon gets atleast a draw in the worst case, but I honestly see Lyon winning outright. Good luck everyone!

Seems like everybody likes Lyon... I just dunno. Something about this line smells a bit fishy to me... we all liked Man U yesterday and we saw what happened... I'm considering taking Real here... Small play on the home side to get the meaningless 3 points. Lyon just has nothing to play for and Real all to prove after getting crushed at home by Barcelona recently.

Also going to go with PSV and the half goal despite everyone else being on the German team... Schalke's in bad form domestically, and hopefully it spills over.

Also, gimme Artmedia Bratslava @ the empty stadium of Inter Milan, +2 at -134 offered by Pinnacle. These guys are qualifying for the round of 16... and they barely hung on at 5-0 against Celtic if we remember correctly... Don't think Inter cares enough to win by 3 today, and it really wouldn't surprise me if this match ended in a draw, 1-1 with a late one by Bratislava. I'll take my chances on the draw at a whopping +550.

Once again taking the goals given to me with Fenerbache. Trips to Turkey are always tough, and with the home side knowing that at least a draw is necessary to keep them in the competition, they're going all out today. I'll take the half goal and take a stab on them to beat Milan outright, who hasn't looked impressive in this tournament whatsoever. Also going to play over 2.5 in this one, as Fenerbache I estimate will score, guaranteeing one or the other for certain, though hoping for a 2-1 Fenerbache victory.

i leave the real match alone...on paper at the moment lyon should at least draw and cover, but problem is both teams are already qualified for next round and i have no clue, which team is showing up or cares more about todays match.

also the normaly obvious real over scares me without raul and ronaldo..there is definetely better value on the l ist for tonight.

I like that one too AFLGuru. Inter has been known to settle for draws.

Inter is not the most reliable team but its hard to imagine anything less than a two goal margin tonight. Reports are they have been practicing well and they come from their first win in 4 matches on the weekend. Its not really Inter I trust moreso Bratislava. Its a miracle they have 5 points as their performances have not reflected. This team would be a borderline Serie B team. If it weren't for the surprising results (surprising results, not performances) they would be a 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 goal dog easy tonight.

Also fancy Schalke to take care of PSV. Schalke is a pretty damn good team who has underachieved slightly in domestic competition. They can score with the best (not taking their chances recently) and also have a steady defense. PSV will play for the draw like in Milan but I don't see them escaping with a 0-0 this time.

Fenerbache will miss three key Brazilians today and I cannot trust a furthur weakened defense against Milan. Milan also misses two defenders in Cafu and Stam. Wet, rainy conditions there don't know what to think about this one.

Also gonna give a shot to over 20 today in the 8 games. More of a gut shot than anything else... we haven't had that ridiculous 3-3 game, and maybe in like a Rosenborg-Olympiakos or a Real-Lyon... a game with very little consequence, we could see a show.

WOW, you just read my mind, Guru. I just came in here to post the exact same thing. The Groups playing today have consistently produced more goals than the Groups that played yesterday. 20 goals should be attainable with these match-ups today.

I'm on board for the Over 20 too, last second play. About on pace I suppose, always more goals in the 2nd half.

Tried the Fener Over 1 1/4 (2nd half play). Fener must get something out of this and its a scary proposition if they have to risk sending more players forward.

I cannot believe Liverpool has not scored a goal. Have been watching this game and its been a remarkable display of pathetic finishing. 28-5 shots for Liverpool with about a 1/3 of those 28 legitimate chances. Unreal.

If I had told you there'd be 3 hat tricks today in the CL action, we'd have banked our net over bets, right?

Uh-huh...

Think again...

PORTO let me down BIG TIME. My day would have been so much different if Porto could of held their lead. Total shots were 19-3 in favour of Porto. Rangers only had 1 shot that was actually on target - and guess what - it went in.

UEFA Cup tomorrow.
