CBB x EPL

UNC ML/Marquette +8.5/Man City o1.5 (-117)

Backing UNC against a Georgia Tech team that has been abysmal lately losing 8 of their L9 games and no welcomes the #3 team in the country. During that 9-game stretch GT is allowing 81.7 PPG and averaging just 65.6 PPG in their L3. One the other hand UNC has been cooking, 10-0 in their L10, averaging 81.3 PPG and allowing just 63 PPG. There isn’t much too this just two teams trending in opposite directions and two teams on opposite sides of the spectrum in terms of record and talent. UNC should have no trouble tonight in Atlanta.

I am already backing Marquette in a previous play, you can see my write up and analysis in that post from this morning. I decided to add points because I didn’t want to get greedy, it would have been a huge plus money parlay by taking Marquette with the current spread but outed to play it safe and get the odds closer to even with +8.5.

Lastly, backing a Manchester City team that should see 2+ goals in the first half here against a very poor Burnley team hence why the odds are so steep. City have scored 2+ goals in 18 of their L20 games and in 9 of their L10 overall. City now gets De Bruyne back in the starting lineup and Haaland back on the bench, their two best players and two of the best offensive weapons in the Premier League. Burnley has allowed 2+ goals in 10 of their L16 games, but 12 of those 16 games came against teams that weren’t even in the top 5 in the league. They now face City on the road, who is tied for first in the EPL with 48 goals in the year.

Record: 10-7
