I picked out two nice plays on the board tomorrow by dogs who are poised to upset some teams via the letdown effect.
Sunderland:
Villa just came off of a physical, draining win away against Manchester on Saturday. Sunderland played to a 1-1 draw against Pompey which I'm sure took next to no energy because well...it's Pompey. They're now hosting Villa, a notoriously bad road team, on three days rest. Expect Sunderland to come out and at least grab a draw here.
West Ham:
I picked Bolton to draw or win against Man City on Saturday due to City's horrendous road form, and lo and behold, the Wanderers pulled out the upset. Now they're poised to sh*t the bed against a West Ham squad who is just as hungry for a win as Bolton is. +129 for Bolton, the 19th place team on the table?? I know West Ham isn't great and Bolton at home, but pre-season projections show a huge favor for West Ham. Expect that advantage to be regained tomorrow.
I really wish 5Dimes offered 1H lines for games like this. A draw is totally probable in either, but you know that Sunderland and West Ham are gonna come out with a fire up their asses and win the first half
Lee Cattermole one of Sunderlands most important players is out and to make matters worse Anton Ferdinand, Craig Gordon, Boujdewin Zenden and possibly Kenwyne Jones will be out.
Book and the media keep pumping up Sunderland and their great home record but the value today is on Aston Villa -0 @ +100
The Bolton pick looks good, they have never lost to West Ham, in 8 games at home they won 7 times draw once, also the Over 2.5 looks good, in the situation both teams are in both will go for the win a draw suits nobody and with West Hams inability to keep leads and let in the softest goals we could be in for a lively night.
Two Teams Poised for a Letdown
