8 Unit Play. Take #25002 Chelsea -0.5 +105 over Liverpool (8:45 AM, Saturday, October 31, NBCSN)
The pressure is mounting for Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho as The Blues currently sit in 15th place on the table but we think some of that pressure will be alleviated on Saturday morning when they face Liverpool at Stamford Bridge in London. Chelsea comes into the game off a horrible loss at West Ham where they finished the game with 10 men and Mourinho watching from the press box after he was ejected for arguing the red card while Liverpool enters the contest off a 1-0 win over Bournemouth but once again they didn’t look all that impressive. They just don’t score enough to win on a consistent basis and new manager Jurgen Klopp was quoted as saying that the team still has “a long way to go” after their win in Week 10. It’s getting close to do or die time for Chelsea as they are already 11 points behind league leader Manchester City and there is just too much talent there on the roster for them to be in the position that they are. We think they bounce back in a big way on Saturday morning in front of their home fans so we’ll lay the 0.5 goals with them at the small plus money price in a game that we see them winning by 1-2 goals over Liverpool.
***Note: This is a 90 minutes + injury time wager. If the game ends in a DRAW, we have a LOSS***
