    For me the strongest play on the board today is PSG. Anderlecht have proven time and time again they have no business being in this competition. They made Olympiakos look untouchable losing 3-0 away. Benfica, a side I feel is over rated a bit went to Belgium and beat Anderlecht 2-0. PSG is in top form right now scoring goals seemingly at will and just enjoying their football. They top the group only conceding once and don't expect it to happen today. Winners of their last 5 in all competitions and they're simply a much better side than their Belgian opponents today. 

    PSG -235
    PSG -1 (-145)

    After PSG for me it's Moyes's United. They haven't been the most convincing at times but this is a great opportunity to try and get things back on track. Sociedad much like Anderlecht are an inferior team and they're not in the best run of form either. Only 2 wins through 9 matches in Liga and 0 points in UCL. Expect a Rooney/RVP combo and United to nurse another slight lead unless they finally find one to put it away. Either way this shouldn't be too worry some, even for Moyes' United. 

    United -210

    No value in the Bayern match for me and really not much in Madrid either. I can't lay -1 against an opponent like Juve and -190 is too heavy for the same reason. Over is 3 so no reason to move there either. Probably just going to watch those 2. Pass on the Galatasaray as well unless you want to fire at the -270 but that's too high for me with a side like the Turks.

    I do however like a few DRAW/dogs. Best kind of dog  

    Really in no order as far as strength, CSKA Moskva at home are a different side than they are away. Pellegrini is already complaining about the pitch, rightfully so but the seeds are being planted. Add that City have Chelsea on the weekend and throw our Kompany for today's match?? I'll take my chances on a big payoff with CSKA, Doumbia back today for the Russians as well. My gut tells me this goes over too. 

    DRAW +285
    CSKA +425


    After that it's Olympiakos who Anderlecht made look PSG like a few weeks ago. They can score though and Benfica certainly aren't untouchable. They leak goals and aren't always able to find theirs in big moments. I'll take my chances again especially the form they're in. 

    DRAW +280
    Olympiakos +420


    Last one for me is the Ukrainians. Shaktar Donetsk doesn't get enough credit IMO and they've been playing inspired top football for a few years now. Even without Willian this side scores goals, they demonstrated that to Arsenal a few campaigns ago and Chelsea last year. Not to mention that Shaktar absolutely love the big stage. Leverkeusen even at home should never be this heavily favored. Keisling is one thing but Leverkeusen leak goals and if somehow the machine that is Keisling is shut off then it's lights out in Germany. Slight lean on the over. 

    DRAW +280
    Shaktar +340


    Best of luck with your plays and if you have one for me to add by all means let me know! Cheers everyone look forward to some good entertaining football today!

    Agree with PSG being the much better side. However " CSKA are a better side at home then they are away " . It's usually a safe statement for any team, but CSKA have found a way to suck on both fronts. The condition of the field may be the only thing stopping City from making this a rout. good luck either way
