Saturday’s Sheet:

– I think that head-to-head history weighs a lot into today’s picks. All 3 of these teams have had quite a bit of success this season versus their respective opponents. Quite frankly, the bettting lines are not that great though, and obviously it’s better to attack lines that are weak, and not lines that are well-set.

– One thing to maybe look into might be the Grand Salami (the bet involving all the games on the board today). I’ve got a projected 51 goals here–29 from the home teams and 22 from the road teams. So, see if you can get a favorable line for the Home Teams and the Over.

– Taking Sunday off to reflect on my choices in life. Be back on Monday.
