4/19 Recap: A bit of a technological mishap kept me out of the picks game over the weekend, but after Friday's results that wasn't entirely a bad thing. First-half props did not help end my spell of bad betting form. Kevin Long's awkward own goal was a gut punch for both myself and Burnley. Ajax's first...
4/16 Recap: If only I could just flip-flop yesterday's scorelines for my picks. The battle of those who cannot score ended with two goals in Germany. The first one is the talking point though. VAR took its nuttiest turn yet when a penalty was called AT HALFTIME. Pablo de Blasis slotted home the spot kick...
4/14 Recap: It seems taking some time off didn't do anything to help my picks. Both the teams I backed yesterday fell completely flat. Spurs were ransacked on their home ground by Manchester City, meaning anything less than a victory for Manchester United today will crown the Citizens champions of England. Harry Kane was kept...
4/7 Recap: Congratulations to Bayern Munich on winning the Bundesliga. Even though you took care of business against Augsburg, Schalke crapping their pants against Hamburg would have done the trick anyway. Conceding three to a team with twenty total goals up to that point isn't a good look. Speaking of teams not looking good at...
4/5 Recap: It seems the Europa League has surpassed its big brother in terms of unpredictability. Arsenal ran riot in the first half, scoring 4 in 35 minutes. CSKA got an away goal, but that won't matter heading back to Russia. In my other pick, I thought I was golden when Salzburg netted an equalizer...
4/1 Recap: April Fool's Day doubled as opposite day for me. The results I needed were flip-flopped in Spain and France. I stated that I was fearful of Atletico Madrid getting a lead and then shutting it down. That is exactly what happened after Kevin Gameiro's penalty before halftime. There may not be a more...
3/31 Recap: My Saturday started off well with a Liverpool victory, thanks mostly to Christian Benteke not being able to hit the broad side of a barn. But then my picks began and everything fell apart. Sevilla cruised through 88 minutes against Barcelona, holding a 2-0 advantage. Then they went full-PSG and gave up two...
3/30 Recap: Good Friday did not live up to the adjective here on Picks From Across The Pond. Derby County continued their miserable run of form, laying an absolute egg at home against bottom club Sunderland. They were fairly unlucky with a deflection for the Black Cats' first goal, but they crossed their own path on...
3/24 Recap: I've learned a lot during my short time doing this series. Humility is key. Don't let yourself get bogged down by a losing streak or too high from a winning one. But yesterday I learned the biggest lesson of all. That lesson is to strike the word "lock" from your vocabulary. After my...
3/23 Recap: Even if today's picks go down like a number two, they'll fit the theme. Because today's theme is TWO in honor of me finally going a perfect two for two yesterday. Two correct scores. Two sets of props hit. I still can't believe it. But I owe it all to one man- Cristiano...
