The Autumn Nations Cup starts this weekend and we take a look at the matches from a betting angle.

Let’s start with a look at the Outright Betting where England are the 9/10 favourites ahead of Ireland at 7/2, France at 5/1, Scotland 13/2 and you can get 10/1 the balance.

IRELAND v WALES – Click here to bet

This match takes place in Dublin and Ireland go in as firm favourites. Ireland finished 3^rd in the Six Nations and although they went into the final match against France with a mathematical chance of taking the title, they ended up losing by 8 points in Paris.

Wales could only win 1 of their 5 Six Nations matches and their last game was a 14-10 home defeat to the Scots.

Irelands last 2 matches against the Welsh at home have been 10 point victories and that is pretty much where this week’s handicap is set.

BETTING

Ireland 2/7

Draw 28/1

Wales 33/10

Handicap: Ireland (-9.5) at 9/10, Wales (+9.5) at 9/10

Suggested Bet: Winning Margin, Ireland under 12.5 points at 18/10

These sides historically play in tight low scoring fixtures and I think Ireland will win this but hopefully by less than 13 points.

ITALY v SCOTLAND – Click here to bet

Italy are still battling to compete in the Six Nations and they lost all 5 games again including a 33 point loss to Ireland in Dublin followed by a 29 point loss to England at home. They face a Scottish side coming off a 14-10 home win over Wales, a result which saw them finish 4^th in the Six Nations with 3 wins and 2 losses.

BETTING

Italy 4/1

Draw 33/1

Scotland 2/9

Handicap: Italy (+10.5) at 9/10, Scotland (-10.5) at 9/10

Suggested Bet: Handicap, Scotland (-10.5) at 9/10

Italy have been a bit hit and miss against Scotland at home and although they lost the last encounter 17-0 they would have beaten the handicap on the previous occasion when they lost by just 2 points. Scotland though look to be on the up and I am backing them to win by 10 points or more.

ENGLAND v GEORGIA – Click here to bet

England are coming off a 34-5 win over Italy in Rome which was enough to see them take the Six Nations Title. They face a Georgia team who will relish the opportunity to play against the big boys as they have been talking for a long time about replacing Italy in the Six Nations. They didn’t look too impressive in a big defeat against Scotland a few weeks ago and this Handicap continues to push out and has now reached the 40 point level.

BETTING

England 1/100

Draw 100/1

Georgia 50/1

Handicap: England (-40.5) at 9/10, Georgia (+40.5) at 9/10

Suggested Bet: Handicap, England (-40.5) at 9/10

I just can’t see this Georgia outfit living with England and with competition hot in the English squad when it comes to selection I can see the players keeping their foot on the pedal.
