Investec Champions and Challenge Cup Rugby 19-21 January was created by Brent Graham
A really poor weekend for me totally underestimating Munster and thinking Toulon were better than they were - not watching Top 14 is proving costly and I am battling to read the French teams
The Toulon loss pulled me square on the weekend having backed Lyon and the Sharks but then I flew into Leinster points again and once again they failed to score against a well beaten team in the last 12 minutes, I closed up shop after that
Here are this week fixtures with my projected handicaps - not even going to attempt handicapping
Glasgow Warriors vs. Toulon
Connacht Rugby vs. Bristol Bears
Harlequins vs. Ulster
Vodacom Bulls vs. Bordeaux
Leicester Tigers vs. Leinster
Racing 92 vs. Cardiff
Munster vs. Northampton Saints
Stade Francais vs. DHL Stormers
Saracens vs. Lyon
Sale Sharks vs. La Rochelle
Toulouse vs. Bath Rugby
Bayonne vs. Exeter Chiefs

Agree Brent , held my own in a few games but Leinster not covering the 38.5 point cap , Cardiff capitulating like the Italians in WW2 to Quins and Saracens appalling display in Bordeaux ensured I ended the weekend firmly on the back foot . Will look to take a few gambles regarding team selections this week and try get on some what I perceive as early value.

Here are some thoughts based on log positions - I won't claim to understand how the French think 
Glasgow Warriors -7.5 vs. Toulon
4v6- every chance Toulon throw in the towel and focus on Top 14 - this handicap could move out
Connacht Rugby +0.5 vs. Bristol Bears
6v4 - Connacht look to have nothing to play for, reckon Bristol start firm favs
Harlequins -8.5 vs. Ulster
3v4 - Quins look unlikely to improve from 3rd or lose it, Ulster need to win
Vodacom Bulls -10.5 vs. Bordeaux
3v1 Bulls not safe yet I don't think, Bordeaux qualified but could lose top spot - betting suggests Bordeaux may be prepared to forfeit this one?
Leicester Tigers +9.5 vs. Leinster
3v1 - Leinster 5 points clear at top, may rest players? I like Leicester on plus here
Racing 92 -27.5 vs. Cardiff
5v6 - Both sides could sneak in if Ulster lose, Ulster result will be known by kick off.
Munster -9.5 vs. Northampton Saints
3v1 - Munster need bonus point to qualify, Saints are through but need to win to guarantee top spot
Stade Francais +5.5 vs. DHL Stormers
6v2 - Stade are gone but being at home may go for it? Stormers almost qualified and I think they will send weakened team
Saracens -17.5 vs. Lyon
5v2 - interesting betting and assumes Lyon won't chase top spot (which may be out of their reach by kick off anyway, Sarcens may have to win big to qualify
Sale Sharks +6.5 vs. La Rochelle
5v4 - basically winner goes through there should ne no resting here - Sale travelling back from SA
Toulouse -17.5 vs. Bath Rugby
1v2 - winner tops table, Bath likely to rest players and accept 2nd (need a bonus to be sure) or 3rd
Bayonne +0.5 vs. Exeter Chiefs
5v2 - Bayonne can still qualify and will know what to do, if Saints lose to Munster Exeter can finish top
I like Leicester plus 9.5 and Bristol on the board early doors
Glasgow Warriors -7.5 vs. Toulon
4v6- every chance Toulon throw in the towel and focus on Top 14 - this handicap could move out
Connacht Rugby +0.5 vs. Bristol Bears
6v4 - Connacht look to have nothing to play for, reckon Bristol start firm favs
Harlequins -8.5 vs. Ulster
3v4 - Quins look unlikely to improve from 3rd or lose it, Ulster need to win

Info I have from France is that UBB may send a mixed team, so I'd wait to fire their hándicap as even their second team is pretty powerful.

hmm a lot to work out. thanks Brent and Pablo.
On that possibly Ulster plus if Quins rest, and would then avoid backing the Racing minus.
Bordeaux noted pablo, will wait for a bigger plus, as you say depth is strong.
Taken treble @ 6/1 -
Bristol win
Glasgow -7
Saracens -17

Adding to Top14 info, Stade Français may field a type lineup as they rotated heavily against Leinster and they visit next weekend the mighty Bordeaux in a very tough match and some regular starters need to strech their legs. Or they even throw Bordeaux's match and focus in this one and visit to Oyo the following week. Everything suggest they will field a type team so SF +5.5 looks nice (more if south african friends think that Stormers will send a mixed team)
Bayonne receives Oyo with 6 days rest after Exeter match but a friend from Bayonne told me that the feeling there is that they want to qualify for Challenge knock out. And also they are very tough to beat at home.

Lou will have an import match next weekend in the relegation battle (he he with the squad they have) against Usap so everything suggest they will send a second string against a wounded Saracens side. Berdeu will be for sure as he needs game time but I think here bet is Saracens -18.5 with Lou focused in next weekend next Top14 match.
Only Lucu and Moefana confirmed absences, the rest of cadres looks like will take the plane.

Connacht can still qualify for the Challenge Cup with a bonus point win and with no games for the next couple of weeks after this one, they should field their strongest side. I have also heard Bristol may rest a few ahead of their Prem clash against Bath next week, as they'd face a tough away draw in the Challenge Cup if they were to make it through.

Agree with Brent re Glasgow
Toulon surely send out the Espoirs to play Glasgow at full throttle.
I'll take Glasgow on or near that -7.5pts

Connacht -3.5 @1.90 2u
Blade, Bealham, Aki and O'Halloran back, Bristol with derby next weekend I think this will end up almost double digits for the home side. Tough team at home.

Double stake as usual, Toulon with second string lineup (Priso, Brookes, Tolofua, Ribbans, Du Preez, Abadie, White, Biggar, Paaiaua, Nayacalevu, Jaminet, Wainiqolo out; not even Ollivon back as expected) I cannot see them coping with this Glasgow lineup. Sinzelle at 10 ...

Castres +11.5 is tempting me heavily, lineup looks correct apart from some absences (Chilachava and Hounkpatin at 3 maybe the most importants as their replacement Azar is very weak at scrum time and there is a youngster in the bench; Nakarawa, Delaporte, Ardron and Dumora also out). Backline looks ok apart from Dumora absence (their kicking game may be affected but Palis also ok in that particular area) but as said, up front a little lighter than required. Also commitment may be an issue, you know French teams don't like the Mickey Cup ...

Its a sad state of affairs when the bookies are giving Scarlets a 7.5pt start, at home, to these Jocks.
Not so long ago I would have expected Edinburgh to be sent home having been on the receiving end.
But I'm a glutton for punishment so Scarlets on the plus it is....

Like a lab rat I'm following you Jameson , I'm also going to have a nibble on Castres plus , Connacht can go either way and may take a punt in running , Toulon match potentially a banana peel so side stepping that one.

Shocking start to the weekend , original fancy Connacht romp home , Scarlets are no longer a rugby side and Castre despite being in the game for a while conceded some very weak tries . Losing on Friday's is so shit .

please accept my commiserations
However,
My Friday nite went the opposite way, that unicorn (in my life) of getting Friday nite on the button, and my -6.5 banker came through twice as I doubled-up, and is still intact 4 accas.
Not trying to gloat but I'm walking on clouds atm.
It's such a great feeling

I just cannot catch the Champions Cup - liked Glasgow minus but when line moved out changed to overs - so frustrating but I am almost laughing at it now, numb to the pain
Pleased you are going well Kirky!

Stade v Storrmers -
I expect home side to have a crack tonight, much changed team but still a bit of experience in there. Stormers backline should also have some space.
Pitch is 4G and dry/cold night.
Over 42.5 @ 10/11

Strongly agree on this one, will be cold but low humidity and synthetic pitch. SF backline is pretty young but not the rest of the lineup nor the bench.
I expected this line to open around 47.5-48.5 so yeah value there on the overs.

There will be strong wind but humidity low and synthetic pitch and most important, Lou lineup is shit. I hope Saracens bounce back in fashion against a depleted side.

Beautiful points fest at Loftus, love a game like this.
Racing over 43.5 @ 17/20
Expecting a home crowd pleaser effort from them.

Italian referees are a big pile of shit. Piardi gifting Leinster 10 points.

Courtney Lawes you beauty. Two jackal penalties in their own 22 and another couple of turnovers more.
I thought red card was going the fuck our bet.

Crazy scenes at Stade v Stormers game towards end. Thankfully the overs landed and it’s been a strong day on overs on the right games.
Trying to decide if to follow Pablo on Sarries overs or hold until some of the challenge cup matches tomorrow for points.

Saracens have been nothing but an embarrassment here. A complete and utter embarrassment

No comment on Saracens apart from they are a shitty side. Losing against a well depleted side that count almost every away match this season as heavy loss (40-10 in Pau, 45-0 in Toulouse, 46-10 in Bordeaux, 38-20 in Oyonnax, 35-14 in La Rochelle)

Finally I didnt bet on Castres, only the unders so some benefit there. Worse is that I was on Cheetahs and Oyo sneaked it in the 87th minute ...

There will be strong wind but humidity low and synthetic pitch and most important, Lou lineup is shit. I hope Saracens bounce back in fashion against a depleted side.

So, here we go. I think +21pts is to high and I'm on Ospreys.The scrum should be solid and the backs are fine. Only issue is the O's bench and the forwards there look a bit green so if the lions pack fancy it then it could get a bit nasty late on.
Come on O's!
Come on O's!

u37.5 dragons-sharks @1.83 2u
Weather will be awful by kickoff time, synthetic pith I know but heavy rain and strong wind suggest me that should be a scrappy match. Dragons back row with two fetchers I expect them to be on point in defence.
