Predictable Jazz

Santa came early. The Utah Jazz didn't quite cover the spread, but they came back from a double digit deficit yet again, this time 15, resulting in a four figure profit and vaulting December into second place behind January in the 2010 Monthly Stakes race. December is usually good, but this is (to date) the best yet. I don't want 2010 to end. Better not speak too soon though - there's still time!

Or maybe not. The fixture list over the coming days is looking very sparse. No football until Boxing Day, and the NBA has it's usual quiet Thursday (just 3 games) followed by an unusually quiet Friday - no games at all! I may have to let my hair down for once. Metaphorically speaking of course.

I haven't run the numbers for most of the upcoming games yet (plenty of time for that it appears), but I did look at the EPL games. Strong draw: Newcastle United v Manchester City. Value Home: Bolton Wanderers (2.22) v West Bromwich Albion.

SG's on top of it already with the following selections for the weekend. Draws: Blackpool v Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers v Wigan Athletic; Home Lays: Manchester United; Away Lays: Stoke City, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.
