Premier League top picks
Spurs have won their last four Premier League matches against Leicester. The Foxes got a big win against Aston Villa last weekend, which was their first league victory since November. Before that 4-2 win over Villa, Leicester had scored just three league goals in five games. Neither side has solid defense, though Spurs have kept clean sheets in their last two games.
Tottenham have found some form and feature the better squad. Harry Kane has a good record against the Foxes, scoring 18 goals in 15 matches against them.
These are good odds for this matchup. Most of our main books have Spurs valued at +110, with Caesars slightly higher at +111. This price at DraftKings is the best odds for this play. Spurs are improving, but if they'd shown more consistency recently, I'd have given this four stars.
Newcastle United are unbeaten in their last 16 Premier League games, the longest unbeaten run of any team in the competition. They face a Bournemouth side that's scored once since December and hasn't won since November.
This pitches the worst defense in the league against the best. The Cherries have conceded 43 goals this season, which is a stark contrast to the Magpies' 12 against. Newcastle have won only once in their last five games (drawn four), but their quality against such leaky opposition makes me confident they'll cover.
DraftKings is the only book offering -1.25 as the spread. Eddie Howe has built a quality squad at Newcastle. Although there's no easy win in the Premier League, the Cherries will find it tough to break them down and also keep them at bay. If Newcastle was at home I'd give this four stars, but because of the long away trip, I'm sticking with three.
Arsenal have lost their last two games in all competitions. With a match against Manchester City coming up on Wednesday, they're going to want to return to winning ways quickly. The Gunners will have a challenge in this London derby against a Brentford side that is unbeaten in nine Premier League matches.
Arsenal have scored the second-most goals in the competition this season, while only five teams have scored more than Brentford. The last two goals scored against the Gunners in the Premier League have come from corners. Meanwhile, no team has scored more goals from set pieces than the Bees (14) this season.
Brentford have impressed this season and head into this game in good form. It could be an entertaining matchup with plenty of goals, which is why I'm confident in sticking four stars on this play.
The books expect goals, too. BetMGM has the Over priced a lot lower at -150. Other books are around the -140 range, with Caesars and PointsBet offering the best value.
Both teams need to win to boost their survival hopes. Victory for Southampton will bring Wolves closer to them at the bottom of the table, while a win for Wolves will pull them away from Saints by a further three points.
With so much at stake, both sides will be pushing for goals. Wolves put three past Liverpool last week, so they'll be confident heading to the south coast. As soon as one of these sides scores, the other will be forced to attack to keep themselves in it.
Caesars is the only book offering this play. The odds are very favorable for an outcome in which either team can win for us, so long as both sides score. There will be so much riding on this match that they're going to have to find the net, which is why I'm backing this play with four stars.
