Vegas Snitch
OK. Make no mistake about it, Germany is FAR talented than Portugal. Portugal is a two man team with a very soft defense. This is a special play for the Snitch, because you are getting an ENORMOUS value with the MUCH better team. Why the value? Here lies the problem: the Germans have been playing AWFUL this tournament, but we will trust the Insiders banking that now this tournament is back to a new beginning, and a clean slate. If these two teams would have played each other few weeks ago, the Germans would be the favorites here, and that is what you call value. Germany has phenomenal defense, and an amazing center piece with Michael Ballack that WILL control the center play. Its time that Ballack starts getting as much respect as the Ronaldo's, Kaka's, and Messi's of the world. Ballack is special, and will show today. Oh, a fellow by the name of Podolski isn't too shabby either (hint the sarcasm) Germany spanked Portugal in the World Cup 3-1, and they win again with a DOMINATING performance. You are getting possibly the most talented team in the world as underdogs today! To the picks we go:
Germany +240 (must win before end of regulation)
Germany +.5
Germany PK +130 (draw end of regulation pushes)
Germany to Advance/Qualify next round +140
