Matchweek 5: Four Games, Four Calls I'm Willing to Defend

Bournemouth hold Liverpool. People keep saying Liverpool away = easy money, but the Vitality Stadium has been brutal for visitors all season. And Liverpool have been patchy on the road.

Leeds beat Palace. Palace played in Europe midweek; Leeds didn't. Elland Road is going to be loud, and that matters. Expect goals.

City win but do not cover the spread. They're coasting after the derby win, and Sunderland will sit deep and make it ugly for 60 minutes. Low-scoring first half.

Fulham vs United is the one I keep coming back to. Four points from four games. Carrick already out there admitting they haven't got enough. That's a team carrying doubt into Craven Cottage. Draw or Fulham win.

Random thought: Nigeria has more people watching these matches than half of England, and they still can't open a betting app without uploading their ID. Meanwhile, WhatsApp bookies are running billions. Onchain markets fix that problem completely, and nobody's building for that market. Wild to me.

Anyway, I'm probably wrong about at least two of these. Niallon's already cooking something up about United in the replies.
