Week 20 Predictions, ShambleMetrics, and Caleb's favorite betting lines


Format: Each betting line is assigned a star (★) rating. For the purposes of ROI calculation, each star corresponds to a single unit.

Week 19 Results: 1-1-1 (57-39-8 OVR / +11.19% ROI / +22.43 units)


Podcast: James, Brandon, and Caleb take a few minutes to discuss the recent road form of the Indy Eleven (and the impact it may have on Fall title hopes), as well as a look the upcoming matches against Ottawa Fury and the New York Cosmos.



Favorite Lines:


FC Edmonton vs Puerto Rico FC Under 2.5 Goals (-135, ): I genuinely don't understand why this line is still the standard 2.5. 16 of FC Edmonton's 19 matches this year have finished under 2.5 goals, and Colin Miller's men are only conceding an incredible 0.50 goals per game at home in 2016.   

Tampa Bay Rowdies vs Rayo OKC 1H Draw (+115, ): Tampa and OKC have two of the highest first half draw percentages in the league in 2016 (50% and 60%, respectively). The Rowdies percentage is even higher at Al Lang (70%), as is Rayo's on the road (66.67%). Solid value here.

Predictions:




We're tracking these predictions in a points-based system throughout the season: 3 points for correct game result, 1 point for each correct score (by team), and 1 additional point for a perfect game.
