To hell with the riots, let's play some futbol:

2** on Fulham -105

Craven Cottage will be rocking in the Fulham home opener and I expect a win and fast start for the Cottagers. With Bobby Zamora playing, I expect to see Fulham play their typical counter against a talented Villa team, but one that has so many new players it's will be tough for them to jel immediately.

2** On Wigan +120

Last year Wigan lost to a newly promoted club in Blackpool at home. They don't make the same mistake twice and overlook a Championship team. 3 points are going to be hard to come by this year and this is a must game for Wigan.

1* Parlay on Arsenal over 2 1/2 -120 and Liverpool -1  -140 over Sunderland
Liverpool at Anfield at home this year is the easist play on the board but I threw it in a parlay with Arsenal who is out to shut up all the naysayers in the transfer market. Nasri and Fabregas are all but gone but today, they get a chance to go head to with Newcastle in a game that ended 4-4 last year. Pool is loaded this year and Suarez and Carroll at home will have a field day in King Kenny's first game.

2** on LIverpool -1 -140

Read above, I think the best play on the board.

All the games go off in about 1 to 3 hours. Have a great season!!!!
