Soccer Picks of the Day & Free Daily Against the Spread Predictions

English Premier League Take Newcastle/Chelsea UNDER 2.5 (7:30 a.m. EST, Saturday Dec 20)

We were on the Chelsea UNDER last week for our free pick and despite a 2-0 halftime lead for Chelsea vs Everton, there were no goals in the second half and we cashed that ticket. We will strike again here as we think there is nice value getting the under at plus-money. Five of the last seven meetings, including the last two, where Newcastle was the home side have gone under 2.5. Chelsea have scored only a single goal in their last two EPL road tilts, including laying a goose egg last road match at Bournemouth. Despite notching two goals at home last week vs. Everton, something just seems off with this team recently and we don’t see them getting more than a goal here and another shut out is certainly a possibility. They have one goal total in the last four visits to Newcastle. Newcastle was shut out vs. Sunderland last time out, so suddenly they have lost offensive form as well. We think this will be a low scoring match and expect to cash this plus-money ticket.
