Cologne are the obvious favorites on paper, but Würzburger Kickers will make them work for it. I’m backing the hosts with a +1.5 handicap at 1.95 – that line looks a touch too generous.

Cologne are clearly the stronger side in this DFB-Pokal matchup. I expect them to win comfortably by at least two goals, so the -1.5 handicap at 1.81 looks like a solid bet.

Altglienicke face a massive step up in class against Wolfsburg in the DFB-Pokal. The visitors should have little trouble covering a -2.5 handicap, and I back them to win by at least three goals.

Facing a regional league side like Altglienicke in the DFB-Pokal, covering a two-goal handicap is the minimum for Wolfsburg. They've started the 2. Bundesliga strongly, and I fully expect a serious approach—no reserve lineup or messing around here.

Atlanta United at home against Sporting Kansas City? I see them winning this one comfortably. A -1 handicap at 2.08 is the play — they should cover that spread without much trouble.

Barcelona may not be at peak fitness entering the new season, but the class difference and squad depth are still massive. Yamal, Pedri and other key players are gradually getting more minutes, while Adeyemi and Gordon have given Flick's attack a real boost. R…

The gap in quality between these two sides is enormous. Porto simply outclasses Arouca in pace, individual talent, and overall organization.

Porto hosting Arouca in the Primeira Liga on August 23 is a straightforward spot for a dominant home performance. The handicap -1.5 at 1.62 is well within reach — the hosts should have no trouble winning by at least two goals in front of their own supporters.

PSG’s loss in the French Super Cup still stings, but I see that as a one-off. On the road against Rennes in Ligue 1, they’re a different beast altogether. The talent gap is just too wide for the hosts to handle.
