3/15 Recap: I’m still in disbelief. Yesterday I picked two Europa League matches and didn’t lose my shirt. In fact, I actually came out in the positives for the first time ever picking European competitions. Red Bull Salzburg and Marseille both advanced. I hit on all but one of my props. Other than Athletic Bilbao… Continue reading The Relegation Struggle Is Real – Picks From Across The Pond for March 16, 2018

Europa Wasteland – Picks From Across The Pond for March 15, 2018
3/14 Recap: For probably the first time in the series, I feel really good about my work yesterday. I understand the job of this is to entertain and educate, but getting things right now and again just helps build one’s confidence. Freeing myself from the Champions League chains paid dividends and it doesn’t hurt that… Continue reading Europa Wasteland – Picks From Across The Pond for March 15, 2018
Non-Champions League Champions – Picks From Across The Pond for March 14, 2018
3/13 Recap- The second verse, and third in this case, is the same as the first. I can not pick the Champions League to save my life. Shakhtar squandered every chance they had before going down to ten men. Roma’s away goal proved the difference in the end as the Giallorossi advanced on a 2-2… Continue reading Non-Champions League Champions – Picks From Across The Pond for March 14, 2018
Championship and The Champions – Picks From Across The Pond for March 13, 2018
3/11 Results: Most times I am able to shrug off a day of bad picks. It happens to everyone in every walk of life. Whether it be you made the wrong pick at your office cafeteria or two league-leading clubs combine to put a healthy helping of poop in their pants on a Sunday afternoon, mishits… Continue reading Championship and The Champions – Picks From Across The Pond for March 13, 2018
Serie A Showdown – Picks From Across The Pond for March 11, 2018
3/10 Recap: My initial foray into Serie A had many a chance to go perfect, but Chievo Verona fired 70% of their shots off target. Half of those attempts came after Hellas took the lead, making for a very frustrating recap reading. As for my other pick, Barcelona and Malaga defied the bookmakers leaving me… Continue reading Serie A Showdown – Picks From Across The Pond for March 11, 2018
Saturday Hangover – Picks From Across The Pond for March 10, 2018
3/9 Recap: While I was watching yesterday’s games unfold, I came to a realization. I harkened back to when I was doing my research and the lights that were clicking in my head. Gee, that line on Bielefeld/Nurenberg looks really off. How is Schalke not heavier favorites against a team they seemingly own? My main… Continue reading Saturday Hangover – Picks From Across The Pond for March 10, 2018
Bundesliga Bonanza- Picks From Across The Pond for March 9, 2018
3/8 Recap: So I didn’t get completely shut out by the Europa League, but it didn’t do me the favors I hoped it would. The goals came, and thankfully so, in the Lazio/Dynamo contest, but the spoils were split. Zenit laid an absolute egg in Leipzig, even if a late goal gave me a half-hearted… Continue reading Bundesliga Bonanza- Picks From Across The Pond for March 9, 2018
Europa, You’re My Only Hope-a – Picks From Across The Pond for March 8, 2018
3/7 Recap: It is fitting that I sat through a morphing rain/snow storm the past two days because the Champions League completely ransacked my confidence. I wasn’t able to register a single point yesterday as both Manchester City and Spurs lost, and neither of my props hit. It brings to an end a forgettable UCL… Continue reading Europa, You’re My Only Hope-a – Picks From Across The Pond for March 8, 2018
UCL Re-Do – Picks From Across The Pond for March 7, 2018
3/6 Recap: So let’s just say the first set of UCL second legs didn’t go so hot for me. The return of the Champions League brought my “account” into the negatives as both PSG and Liverpool could not deliver. Liverpool was already up 5-0 in the tie, so they get a pass for pumping the… Continue reading UCL Re-Do – Picks From Across The Pond for March 7, 2018
Cue Up The Champions- Picks From Across The Pond for March 6, 2018
3/5 Recap: Some people like to make picks and then just walk away. Let the events play out. See the results at the end. I am not one of those people. Yesterday’s matches raised the old blood pressure up a few notches ahead of midweek Champions League fixtures. Both Manchester United and Celta Vigo left… Continue reading Cue Up The Champions- Picks From Across The Pond for March 6, 2018
