Been a decent last couple of days since I've been able to get some units back, hopefully it rolls into the weekend. Oh yeah since that Portugal youtube clip won last night more great moments in Portuguese soccer history will follow into this post.

The game that started to change the tide from oh yeah Portugal always plays beautiful football but in the end they'll lose to what they are today. Just a great game highlighted by a thunderbolt of a shot by Figo and just world class passing by Rui Costa.
Ok down to business
Bolton +0.5 -106 vs Portsmouth 1 unit.
Im hoping 3 games in 7 days will catch up to Portsmouth and hopefully the form Bolton showed against Newcastle isn't there form for the rest of the season.
West Ham pk & +.5 vs Birmingham -127 2 units
Same theory applies here as well. It isn't like B'ham is a rock in the back four giving up 5 goals in 2 games thus far and while West Ham threw up a stinker against Man City they still have a more talented team then B'Ham
Fulham - Middlesboro over 2 and 2.5 -108 1 unit
Both teams has problems scoring goals and since neither team is afriad of the other so I think it could open the game up to the point where the over cashes.
Reading - Everton under 2 - 2.5 -119 1 unit
Both teams play well at the back and since by and large both teams only feature one striker up front this game can easily be a 1-0 game.
Aston Villa +0.5 -107 vs Newcastle 1 unit
Big Sam is off to a great start however both teams are evenly matched and since I can see a tie I lend towards Villa walking away with atleast a point here.
Portugal Superliga
Braga +0.5 -119 vs Porto 1 unit (may increase to two units depending on how the morning EPL games go, the second unit if I do add it on will be graded as the unit at the time I decide to increase the bet by the way and will also be posted. )
There are 3 top teams in Portugal, Porto, Benfica and Sporting Lisboa however Braga is the 4th best team in Portugal and gave a good showing of themselves in the UEFA Cup last year making it to the final 16.
Basically what im trying to say is Braga at home against a banged up Porto team that lost alot of quality in selling Pepe to Real Madrid and Anderson to Man U will be in a battle in this contest.
Benfica -181 3 way line (Bookmaker.com) vs Leixoes 1 unit
Leixoes is coming up from the second divison and while I usually back off teams playing in there first game in the top league Benfica is coming off a good win mid week. While losing Simao who was the heart and soul of the team will hurt they still have great leadership in the form of Rui Costa and signed 4 good young players in Freddy Adu, Diaz, Cardozo, and Di Maria. Benfica will break down Leixoes at some point in this game and should be good value for the win.
MLS
Toronto FC PK -120 vs Chivas USA 1 unit
Toronto at home is a very different team then on the road. With some players getting back to fitness im siding with the 12th man helping the FC finally get a goal and a win.
Los Angeles Galaxy +0.5 -112 vs New York Red Bull 1 unit
Even with Beckham's mind in England I think LA can atleast pull off a tie in this match up.
Record
17-16-4 -2.56
