Bundesliga
Finally the opening weekend of the Bundesliga. Was delayed this year for some reason. Most think because they thought Germany would be in the WC final!!
Opening game once again features Bayern. Based on the history of this game there is really only two ways to play this, either Bayern or the over.
Bayern Ov 3.5 -115 - I prefer the over versus Bayern -2 in this one since Hoffenheim can score and Bayern's biggest weakness is their defense as the WC exposed. Last five home openers, 3-1, 6-0, 5-0, 2-1, 3-1, so only once did it not go over the 3.5. Hoffenheim struggles at Bayern, but so does everyone else, but they have managed to play them better recently. I expect a strong effort from them which should produce at least one goal and Bayern should get at least 3.
Gladbach Ov 2.5 -140 and FH Ov 1 -140- I played this yesterday as I know this line will go to 3. This should be the most entertaining game of the Bundesliga weekend. Gladbach just scored 11 in the Cup and Leverkusen scored 5. Of course that was against weak competition, but this should be a wide open game that produces at least 3 goals.
Berlin +105 - Now this one pains me. Nurnberg is my team and I am ecstatic that they are back once again in the Bundesliga. However, they have done very little so far to strengthen their team so I am a little disappointed. They just added a Japanese player that will definitely help but not sure he will be ready to play. As much as I want them to win, I do not trust them on the road to start so I will take the home team at + money.
Trying to limit the plays, but if you want more action, I also bet Bremen Ov 2.5 -130. I expect that line to move up to 3 also.
