EPL Round 11 - Tottenham vs Arsenal (Monday 3:30am AEDT)
I am really keen on Tottenham in the North London Derby and making them my banker for Round 11.
Everything, in my eyes anyway, points to a win for Spurs and the current price of $1.95 looks awfully tempting.
Tottenham are unbeaten in their last six EPL games at home against Arsenal with four of those being wins. On top of that, Jose Mourinho has terrorised Arsenal in various roles as manager and boasts a 10-game unbeaten home run against the Gunners across all competitions.
Giving Spurs fans a bigger boost is their form this season when compared to their North London rivals.
Spurs sit on top of the EPL at the moment. They boast strong recent form with a 2-0 home win over Manchester City a fortnight ago and a tough 0-0 draw against Chelsea last week.
In contrast, Mikel Arteta's honeymoon period with Arsenal is over as the Gunners are winless in three and have dropped all three points to Aston Villa (3-0 at home) and Wolverhampton (2-1 at home) during that span. Realistically, they were lucky not to have lost to Leeds United too.
Arteta's project at Arsenal is still developing and does not seem ready to bear fruit for a few seasons yet, despite taking out the FA Cup and Charity Shield recently.
Tottenham look ready to challenge for the title and they will be very keen not to drop points to one of their bitter rivals.
Tip Tottenham to account for Arsenal at $1.95
NFL Week 13 - Kansas City Chiefs vs Denver Broncos (Monday 12:20pm AEDT)
The Kansas City Chiefs have won six straight games and they are expected to stretch their winning streak when they entertain the Denver Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium on Monday afternoon.
After squeaking by the Las Vegas Raiders 35-31 away from home in Week 11, the Chiefs hung on to account for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27-24 on the road last week.
The Chiefs started strongly to lead 17-0 at quarter-time and 27-10 at three-quarter time before a late flurry from the Buccaneers.
Patrick Mahomes was devastating for the Chiefs going 37-of-49 for 462 passing yards and three touchdown throws.
All of Mahomes' touchdown throws were caught by Tyreek Hill who had 13 catches for 269 receiving yards.
Mahomes has been amazing this season with 30 touchdown passes and only two interceptions while throwing for 3497 yards, which is the highest figure in the NFL.
The Broncos do not have Patrick Mahomes, but last week, they did not have a starting quarterback in their 31-3 home loss to the New Orleans Saints. Practice squad wide receiver Kendall Hinton was thrust in as quarterback following the COVID-19 dramas with the Broncos' three quarterbacks.
Denver has lost three of their last four games and prior to that, their 31-30 home win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 8 required a 21-point third-quarter comeback.
Kansas City thrashed the Broncos 43-16 in Denver in Week 7 and the Chiefs should record another comfortable victory.
Tip The Kansas City Chiefs to defeat the Denver Broncos by at least 13 points at $1.80
