Nice start to the morning. Would have loved pushing a bit harder on it but was hesitant after yesterday's 
in Atalanta/Celtic. Looking back on it probably as square of a play as can be playing for goals but don't know how Atalanta didn't net 3-4 in the 1H alone. I guess it was expected there would be some regression after Celtic played to 5-1 and 1-7 games in the first two rounds but not. one. single. goal?? Atalanta's been in two 0-0 games at home so far in Champs League this season when it leads Serie A in goals scored. Go figure.
Took a look at the slate today and didn't find much I liked for pregame bets, particularly for morning games. Will probably monitor game flow before biting on one (i.e., Frankfurt/Rigas, Ferencvaros/Nice).
FC Twente/Lazio - Took Lazio PK and 1H over 1 last night for pretty reasonable odds. Tbh I was a bit shocked to see the spread was basically a pickem. Yea it's in the Netherlands and there may be some squad rotation but Lazio is a class or two above FC Twente. Gotta remember that Twente was coming into this competition as one of the lowest, if not the lowest, ranked squads. Yea rankings don't matter on the field but the talent gap between Eredivisie and Serie A is massive and I can't see Lazio's high-powered offense being silenced two games in a row. Think this line reflects Twente's recent performances in Europa and it deserves credit to for grabbing massive points against ManU and Fenerbahce but I don't rate either team higher than Lazio. This is not the Lazio from previous years under Sarri and you can see the change in philosophy under Baroni. Castellanos, Dia, Zaccagni, Isaksen, Tavares, Neres. Pick your poison. Can't see Twente keeping up w/ Lazio's goal output.
Fenerbahce/ManU - Mou probably had this circled on his calendar when draws came out. Haven't pulled the trigger yet but thinking of taking the spread and maybe even sprinkling a bit on the ML for Fenerbahce. Wouldn't put too much stock into ManU's win over the weekend as it's basically a bandage over a breaking dam for ETH. ManU's played twice in Istanbul in its' hx and lost both. The manager the last time they played (and lost) to Fenerbahce? Mou in the group stages on his way to capturing ManU's first ever Europa League title. 
Will be back w/ live plays for the morning games.
@Andalouse
Wow thank you! 
learned a lot over the years from posters here and hoping I can in turn help others!
Fenerbahce/ManU - Spread moved to a pickem at +105 while ML ~+190. Decided to ultimately take a small shot on the Fenerbahce ML. Under ETH ManU's European performances have left a lot to be desired (last season's Champions LEague debacle included losing @ Old Trafford to Galatasaray, drawing In Istanbul, and losing in Copenhagen in basically a do-or-die game for its' European life). I can't remember ANY memorable European victory for ETH and I don't think it starts here as under loss turns up the heat on the gaffer.
Jagiellonia/Petrocub - Surprised to see the hosts not leading this thing as they have a knack for finding the net. Expect them to breakthrough at some point and will be looking to jump in on them at over 1.25 or 1. Btw that Frankfurt/Rigas game is giving me Atalanta/Celtic vibes 
@Quasari @handycat @Bitcoin777 @tt_boy
Frankfurt smh. Don't know what it is bout the two games the last two days w/ the highest totals going goalless and pretty much goalless. Had too much PTSD from yesterday's Atalanta/Celtic game to make a move on Frankfurt today but sorry to see it screw over a bunch of bettors. Both games seem like they had some similarities involving the teams involved coming into the matches (Celtic and Rigas having been involved in high scoring matches in the previous two rounds and now facing high level opposition). Thinking of maybe making a small bet on no goals in such games pregame and hedging live on the over as the game goes. Either way awful performances all around. Nice thing though is I think these noon games will feature goals (looking at Twente/Lazio, Lyon/Besiktas, Porto/Hoffenheim, Malmo/Olympiacos). Already on the runner for Twente/Lazio.
That ManU lineup is NOT frightening at all. Hope Fenerbahce pulls through.
@handycat @tt_boy
Ugh had a post and it got erased. Took the 1H runner on Twente/Lazio. Hate the red card early on but we'll see! Also looking at Lyon/Besiktas, Porto/Hoffenheim, and Malmo/Olympiacos but only officially on Twente/Lazio.
@Quasari
That ManU lineup is NOT frightening. Hope Fenerbahce can capitalize~
BANG Lazio goal. Red cards always worry me because you never know how teams will respond but might've been easier as Twente goes from defending w/ 11 to 10. Expecting the floodgates to open here. Lazio PK sitting pretty 
Surprised to see ManU up but think Fenerbahce has been the more aggressive team so far (btw iono what team gets more against-the-run goals than ManU). Expecting (maybe hoping is the better word lol) for the usual 2H meltdown by United.
Seems like the noon games aren't the goalfests I expected them to be, meaning there should be some good in-game opportunities. Be back for 2H thoughts/plays.
