Game: Brighton at Crystal Palace
Date/Time: Sep 27 2021 3:00 PM EDT
Betting Line Provider: Consensus Line
Play Rating: 4%
Play: Crystal Palace +0.25 (-125)
England Premier League
Brighton has gotten off to a hot 4-1 start while Palace have just one win on the season but I don't think there is as much that separates these teams as it looks on the surface by looking at records, especially not enough to give Palace a head start at home.
Brighton has done what they have needed to do, beaten up on a weak schedule so far, although they did beat Leicester, but so far it seems Leicester is a shell of their former self. Palace meanwhile have already played Chelsea and Liverpool, losing to both by the same 0-3 score which is understandable. But they drew against a good West Ham team and against Brentford who have really been playing well and are coming off a draw against Liverpool themselves. They also beat Tottenham 3-0

Play: Torino -0.25 (-120)
Italy Serie A
Torino lost their first two games of the year but have rebounded nicely with two wins and a draw since, and have very strong underlying numbers with their defense performing very well.
Venezia have four losses in five games including losing to lowly Spezia although they did beat another promoted side in Empoli. They look like a team that is only going to be in Serie A for one season before being sent back down as they are near the bottom in most statistically categories thus far.

8:15 p.m. ET: Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys
This Monday Night Football showdown features a pair of NFC East rivals with 1-1 records, although their public perceptions are vastly different, which may create a buy-low, sell-high opportunity. The Eagles (1-1 SU, 1-1 ATS) crushed the Falcons 32-6 in the season opener, but then dropped their Week 2 game to the 49ers 17-11, failing to cover as 3-point home dogs. Meanwhile, the Cowboys (1-1 SU, 2-0 ATS) are coming off their first victory of the season last week, upsetting the Chargers 20-17 as 3-point road dogs. Essentially, Dallas is hot in the eyes of the public, while the Eagles are cold.
This line opened with the Cowboys listed as a 3.5-point home favorite. The public is happy to ride with Dak and the Cowboys at home on a short spread. However, despite this lopsided betting, we've seen the line remain frozen at 3.5. In fact, the Eagles 3.5 is being juiced up to -115 to -120, signaling liability on Philadelphia and a possible fall to the key number of 3. Wiseguys seem to be backing the Eagles plus the hook based on the line freeze and juice reverse line movement.
Philadelphia has value as a contrarian road dog in a heavily bet primetime game. Primetime dogs are 5-3 ATS this season and 33-22 ATS (60 percent) over the past two seasons.
The Eagles also match the best betting system through three weeks: short road dogs 6 or less. They are 14-2 ATS this season and 114-71 ATS (62 percent) the past two seasons. Philadelphia has value as a divisional dog, as the built in familiarity with a common opponent levels the playing field and benefits the team getting points. Divisional dogs are 61-46 (57 percent) over the past two seasons. It's also been profitable to fade teams making their home opener in Week 3, like the Cowboys tonight. Over the past decade, fading them is 31-15 ATS (67 percent). Brad Rogers, the head referee, is 32-26 ATS (56 percent) to the road team historically.
The total opened at 51.5 and really hasn't budged at all. Primetime overs are 7-1 this season. Philadelphia is 2-0 to the under this season. Dallas is 1-1.
