I didn't realise the Currie Cup starts straight away but it does and here are my Handicap predictions
Sharks -24.5 v Pumas
Griquas +15,5 v Lions
WP -3.5 v Bulls
I have not seen a line for Argentina v New Zealand yet but suspecting it may open around -12.5 and end up around -16.5
There are also Mitre 10 Cup finals, Autumn Nations Cup, Premiership and Pro 14 matches - Glasgow +4.5 v Munster on Monday night
Look forward to your contributions in our never ending battle against the books

The AB's -18,5 is gold. Sanches has a niggle, another minus for the Argies.I like what IAN FOSTER said"We don't like having another team play at a higher intensity than us so we've got to go and figure out how to respond," he said.

Hard one to call really, Argentina have also lost Cubelli and Imhoff and Australia should have won by 10+ with a proper hooker that can throw the ball and a more clinical finished. I would be tempted by the ABs H but I had enough of this competition and will rather enjoy the show with a cold beer !

Falcons (+10.5) Sharks —> +8.5
Saints (-2.5) Quins —> -2.5
Glou (+3.5) Wasps —> +4.5
Bears (-11.5) Warriors —> -10.5
Exeter (-12.5) Bath —> -16.5
Irish (+2.5) Tigers —> + 2.5
Relatively close to my predictions except on the Chiefs one but hard to go against them

I was very close to making this a choice game and then decided WP should be slight favs
Which bookie had/s the +3.5? I only checked WSB who were choice

Weather's gonna be filthy. Got the 44.5 earlier today - moved to 38.5 now.
I also took 'no team to reach 20 points @ 5.10 (Sunbet) Now moved to 3.00

Under 45pts looks great
38pts is line on Bet365. Munster know their way around wet tracks so staying away from total pts
I'll try Kevin O Byrne to scire a try and smalls on James Cronin @ 3/1 and 6/1
Some Monday night cheer would be welcome
Good luck all!

England haven't beaten Wales by more than 14 points in their last 22 fixtures and you have to go back to 2006 to find the last result where England won 47-13.

It’s not crazy, it’s a 3 scores handicap and the past 2-3 y a Wales - England was almost a choice type of bet. Yes no crowd and yes both teams are on a different form level but does that justify 14.5?

Newcastle Falcons +9.5: I always back a "newly" promoted team as they are always highly motivated against the "superior" teams plus a good away win versus Bath over the past weekend. They will want a good start on their home pitch.
Benetton -6.5: Almost had a good win vs Ospreys, i think they will relish the opportunity to play at home vs a Dragon's side who rarely travels well.
Scarlets +15.5: This cap just seems too high, even though Leinster are in ruthless form. Scarlets have not lost a home game by more than this handicap for almost two years and seem to have turned a corner.

Gallagher Premiership - good weather conditions all round:
1. Newcastle Falcons (vs Sale) +7.5 (1 of 5 units) and maybe a 1-12 tickle on Newcastle
2. Exeter Chiefs (vs Bath) -18.5 (2/5 units)
3. Wasps (vs Gloucester) -2.5 (2/5 units)
Pro 14 - fair/good weather:
1. Connacht (vs Ospreys) -11.5 (1/5 units)
2. Leinster (vs Scarlets) -13.5 (2/5 units)
3. Benetton (vs Dragons) -7.5 (1/5 units)
For Monday Pro 14 I will take:
1. Munster (vs Zebre) -31.5 (2/5 units)
2. Ulster (vs Edinburgh) -5.5 (2/5 units) this will depend whether Edinburgh's internationals will be playing or not...
For a bit of spice in the NZ/Argy game, as I have no feel for it, I've taken 3 x (beer money) HT draw combinations at large odds.
No more accas or Mitre 10 for me, and I've no feel for our Carling Cup or the Autumn Nations either - at this time
So up to now this weekend, I'm in for almost 14 units - let's see what my return is ?
May the Punter-Gods smile down on us, guys.

Treviso on the minus and a ML multi in Pro14
Too early for me to get heavily involved in Gallagher Premiership (no formlines to read)
Wasps were heavily fancied to thump Bristol last weekend. Yes, Bristol have many players out but Pat Lam has built a deep squad.
Anyhow - no play
Autumn Cup Thingy
Can't be touching Wales on the plus -
Good luck all
Edit: In light of Bradie's post am removing Fra minus
Edit 2: Navidi not back

Neti, Mauvaka, Aldegheri - Geraci, Pesenti - Woki, Jelonch, Macalou -Serin, Jalibert - Villière, Danty, Barraque, Thomas - Dulin.
5 players who never played at international level, a lack of automatism and experience, some weak players (will not give any names) - on the bight side, the first row is used to play together (100% Toulouse), Macalou has been on fire, Serin & Jalibert used to play together and last but not least, SOAP's favourite 7s players on the field.
I am struggling to see that team smash Italy, or even to win the game so Italy +16.5 seems like a good move

Replacements: 16 Santiago Socino, 17 Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro, 18 Lucio Sordoni, 19 Matías Alemanno, 20 Santiago Grondona, 21 Gonzalo Bertranou, 22 Santiago Carreras, 23 Lucas Mensa
Only 5 of the team retained. Still going big in the + Handicap though.
No science or mathematics in this -just a bet forged in emotion.
I get that there will be physical and emotional exhaustion in the Argentinian side, but I am thinking that the loss of Diego will light a fire and pull out a big performance.
There hasn't been 3 days mourning in Argentina since the passing of Eva Péron

They may've had a small hope at full strength, but without Owens, Navidi, Tipuric & Liam Williams, they'll have next to no chance in my view.
Ireland completely out played them 2 weeks ago, then Ireland got totally smashed themselves last week by the English.
The gulf in class is enormous here.
Have taken England -13.5 @ 1.80
Awaiting tries/points lines, hoping for decent price on Wales under 1.5 tries

I don't think thy'll continue at the same pace into the second half, so trying to minimize the losses for now, as I'm Northland under 19.5 and total under 53.5.
