Serie A/B/C, Coppa, Super (thoughts & plays)......

first and foremost, hope everyone had a nice Holiday Season and late New Years wish. and hope all is well with selves & family. had some time, thought Id just toss up whats been discussed for the upcoming week:
EDIT: apologies as this was basically typed up earlier in week, rosters/situations might change but did try to take note/update on a few.

Coppa Italia:
Atalanta/Venezia - Gasps side has abused newbies this year already winning all 3 by a combined 9-1; blew away Venezia with both on short rest back at end of Nov. but Id pay caution to Wednesdays match. tho they are keen to reach finals again, Inzaghis lads visiting Bergamo in a few days for a massive table-top meeting. and on the other side Venezia have part 2 of their newbie rivalry with Empoli to help them get away from relegation zone. and when you peek at their sched, they have a god-awful brutal month ahead for themselves. both are going to rotate, and perhaps heavily. its still few days away. Venezia been cleansheeted by everyone thus far in the top half on their travels (3 games). so Ill take a small shot with Gasps side whom have the better bench at the -1.5 @+104 since its near evens. but i wouldnt go crazy on this one.

Napoli/Fior - joining everyone and jumped on this one early. agreed, Viola shouldnt be in the 300s here. faded them nicely vs Toro as they played lke cr*p with the look-ahead. good point Aless, were THUMPED 6-0 on this pitch last year but remember... that was just a few days after getting knocked out by Inter in this thing with Luks 120th minute prayer, we did hit the 1/2 there too tho if memory is right. for me, this is more of a fade with Spalettis lads; similar feelings, im not comfy constantly fading the club we have largest future on but ehhh, at least this one doesnt 'count'..... Osh out, Lorenzo injured, Mertens just put in a full 90, Kou in Africa, Lozano still in isolation. if Im going to fade them at home vs Spezia & Samp Ill definitely do it here again. like with Inter last year, midweek, empty stadium,  Viola +1/2 @+110 should toss some on the outrights but ill just take the +200 to advance)

Milan/Genoa is priced about right. PASS.

SuperCoppa: 10th straight year having to play this (5 wins,4 losses). at least this time theres hardly any travel. technically a 'meaningless' one when thinking entire season but since this is Inter....... and with Max running the show you just know hes going for the win. ehhh........ last thing either of us needs is an extra time session though.

Inter/Juve - its still early, not sure why this line moving wrong way. Inter should roll here, especially with all our missings. ***EDIT*** and now Federico too. Inzaghi should be sending out full squad; agreed, Max is crazy to be putting Paulo in there considering what just happened last night.
Edit: DeLigt/Danilo/Cuad/Paulo/Syz/Bonucci all not playing. this could get ugly but toss some on Inter to win @-115 for now as line should have more juice attached.

Serie B/C: agreed, go back to last seasons ritual to wait till last min due to Covid. for now, jump on this one fellas, Lecce -1 @-120. these lines going to fly once word gets out with Vicenzas status. and take Brescia on wknd @+145.

Round 22: might as well put these in as lines are out. you guys know the drill anyways. yeah, not fond of juice but ehhh.....

Empoli/Venezia O2.5 @-120 - "when newbies collide". their match on the holiday postponed so this is #4 for the year. 3-0 already. and like always, both will go for the '3'.

Sass/Verona O2.5 @-135 - funny thing about the early ones this season is the under hit with the highest scoring clubs playing (go figure). 12-3 and counting.

yeah, Federico done for the year, but reason we're in 200s is Udine might have to send their kiddie team; things might change but for now just stay away.

GL to all 

BOL Spec, as always appreciate the analysis!

Good to see you around Spec 

Monch  thanks for stopping by and hope all is well

DTP the feeling is mutual. hope all is well with self/fam. havent seen you around much but then again, neither have I.    youre guys doing OK up there, finally found my thread, its the only EPL future which seems safe thus far.    so i guess i have to be nice to you for a few more months ehh? 

forgot to put in the ACN, took the O2.5 with Equit/Ivory @+140 last week along with the Algeria match, only 1st rounders have had pegged to see goals.   too late to post the tourney writeup so will simply move from this point has been treating me nicely thus far. Cameroon &  Algeria outright only futures. 

GL to all 

Spec good to hear from you and hope that you are keeping well..yeah liking Viola +.5 also-thanks again for the info and good luck!

Spec 

Happy new year 

look forward to a bright 22 

doc good to hear from you and tks fer stopping by. hope all is well with self/fam & heres to a successful '22
And as always
kind hope all is well for self/fam. no snow blizzard reports for me this year?
Buck happy late new years as well. yes, agreed. in more ways than 1 too.

just updating and get the wknd card up. might need to start waiting for lineup confirms if things keep going as is.

Atalanta -1.5 @+104 (W)
Viola +1/2 @+110, advance +200 (W, W)
SuperCoppa: Inter to win @-115 (L)
Lecce postponed  Equit/Ivory O2.5 @+140 (L)

some suprised at the chippy-ness of the Cup match. they could be playing at 3am in Timbuktu and theyd still go at another. im just happy BOTH came out of it injury free.

Pending: 

ACN: as mentioned, just combine the 1.5s for 3rd rounders:
Monday: @+126 (W)
Tues: Group B @+127, Group C @+128
Wed: @-103
Thurs: Group E: @+185, Group F: @+116

Coppa Italia:
Lazio/Udinese - already had this one pegged with Atalanta visiting Rome this wknd. but now Cirro getting rested and Udine getting many back from quatantine but few of them on bench. actually, theres many roster changes on both. these two played to a 4-4 draw back in December where 3 red cards handed out and Udine blew a 2 goal lead twice and fell behind. smelling another upset here with Udinese to advance @+245, and taking the O2.5 @-120
