EPL Week 1

[Magpie Maniac]

I know that it's early, but I was interested in the lines for the EPL's opening weekend. These are from Bet365 and are sure to be adjusted in the coming days.

Fixture Home Draw Away
Arsenal v Aston Villa 1.20 5.00 11.00
Bolton v Tottenham 2.50 3.20 2.50
Chelsea v Man City 1.20 5.00 11.00
Everton v Watford 1.57 3.40 5.50
Man Utd v Fulham 1.20 5.00 11.00
Newcastle v Wigan 1.61 3.40 5.00
Portsmouth v Blackburn 2.30 3.20 2.80
Reading v Middlesbrough 2.50 3.20 2.50
Sheff Utd v Liverpool 4.50 3.40 1.66
West Ham v Charlton 2.10 3.25 3.00

I'm not really up to date right now on EPL transfers and news other than Duff heading to NUFC. I'll have to read up a bit before deciding on which one of these are good buys. Considering Newcastle's history of slow starts, I don't think Wigan at 5.00 is bad at all.

Arsenal v Aston Villa 1.20 5.00 11.00
Bolton v Tottenham 2.50 3.20 2.50
Chelsea v Man City 1.20 5.00 11.00
Everton v Watford 1.57 3.40 5.50
Man Utd v Fulham 1.20 5.00 11.00
Newcastle v Wigan 1.61 3.40 5.00
Portsmouth v Blackburn 2.30 3.20 2.80
Reading v Middlesbrough 2.50 3.20 2.50
Sheff Utd v Liverpool 4.50 3.40 1.66
West Ham v Charlton 2.10 3.25 3.00

Well Arsenal must be the lock of the gameweek opening the new stadium and the problems aston villa is in but the coefficient is so low that unless you play a 3,4 team parlay its not worth it.

Bolton spurs seems like a draw and could go either way.
I wouldnt touch the chelsea game.
Everton seems like a good pick.
MU not worth touching low #
Wigan is worth a shot but a draw is more realistic
Overall opening weekend games are tough to call and the ones that seem easy the coefficient is low

Dont expect too many away victories

I parlayed the following for wins:
Arsenal @ 1.20
Chelsea @ 1.20
Everton @ 1.57
Man Utd @ 1.20
Newcastle @ 1.61
Liverpool @ 1.66 (before odds changed)

I still think that Wigan is a good buy, but I just can't bring myself to do it.
