Some very interesting lines out there today, some that will surely leave cappers questioning the numbers and ultimately themselves..  While, I don't often put too much stock into league results for CL matches, I do have a look at how teams fare against the best in their league with the thinking that, they are playing the best in their league and in many cases even better.  It's not my sole reference cap, but in some cases it does shed some light on some of these clubs and helps determine if they truly are a strong side or might be maquerading as a fraud.  

Spartak Moskva +0.5 -114 (7.98 units)
Spartak Moskva +280 (3 units)
Spartak Moskva-Sevilla over 2.5, 3 -108 (7.56 units)

Arguably the four best teams in the Russian Premier League are Zenit, Lokomtiv, CSKA and Krasnodar; Spartak is 1-3 against these teams thus far in league play with a 2-0 win vs Krasnodar at home and a 4-3 loss to Lokomoti.  Away from home they lost to CSKA 2-1 and got smoked by Zenit, 5-1.  But put those aside for now given this is a home match.  5 goals for and 4 against in two matches vs. the top of the league.  Sevilla's lone match against the upper eschelon in La Liga was a 2-0 loss on the road at Atletico.  Diving in a bit further in their league road matches, they lost to above average Bilbao and only beat sub-par clubs, Getafe and Girona each 1-0.  They haven't shown much on the road thus far in league play, but surely one woiuld expect higher class for CL, especially with the the group still wide open.   Both clubs will be keen to pick up three points, so despite Sevilla's seeming inadequacies on the road, I think they find the net, just might not be enoiugh to overtake a strong home contingent..

Plenty more to come, no work todsy, which is amazing and dangerous.. you'll see a lot of action on my card today, so lean more toward danger zone
