Simply put, the game is leaning towards a 50/50 balance. Both teams have unstable players who can quickly shift the game. QQ may have a better mix, but at least in the first period, it can be said that they won without much difficulty. Therefore, I believe QQ has better chances here than what the odds suggest.

In the second league, one of the bottom teams faces off against the royal club, which always guarantees a win. The match comes after the super cup, but with a strong and experienced team, it allows for a good game even with rotation. Although Celta has already taken down Albacete's team, their journey will end here, as their strength at home is far from comparable to that of Real, who must win all matches and all cups.

The newcomers in the league seem quite solid after their promotion from the lower league, but when it comes to facing Celtic, I don't see much chance for Falkirk. In this season, Celtic has already defeated new teams 4-0 and 4-1 at home, so I think it's pretty clear who will win away as well. Celtic has changed their coach, who has had a successful start in Peru, and this strategist is already proven, so I believe Celtic's game will improve and the new league contenders should be defeated.

Bayern simply dominates and overwhelms all of Germany. Their form is now fantastic and I believe we will continue to see Bayern overpowering other teams. In this season, Bayern celebrated winning the cup against Koln with a three-goal difference in an away game, and now they are confidently winning in the league as well. In 16 league matches, Bayern has already scored 63 goals, which is an average of 4 goals per game, and in away games they score an average of 3 goals (7 matches, 24 goals scored). Koln is one of the weaker home teams, as shown by this season's results, so Bayern will come once again to win with a large margin.

As for Frankfurt, they have the most productive matches in the Bundesliga after Bayern, conceding only 33 goals in 16 matches on average and scoring 4 goals themselves, with a total of 39 goals scored and conceded in 8 away matches. Stuttgart is also having a strong season, but strangely they struggle to score at home. However, I believe they will have a chance against Frankfurt, especially after catching a good form last weekend when they scored 4 goals against Leverkusen. I am expecting goals from both sides, and I wouldn't be surprised if Stuttgart scores 3 of them.

Let's try with the Bundesliga, Hamburg welcomes Leverkusen and beats them. Good coefficient just like Leverkusen's opponent who this year has been scoring a lot and conceding a lot, especially last weekend when they got 4 goals in the first half against Stuttgart. Leverkusen has a 34-24 goal difference after 16 rounds, their matches generate over 3.5 goals and in away games, they often reach 4 goals. Hamburg is not an Under team because they don't score a lot but also concede a lot. I will also mention that at home, Hamburg is very good at attacking and has scored 13 out of their 17 league goals on their own field in 9 matches, so against a Leverkusen defense like this, I think they have a good chance today. I believe both teams can score a few goals here.

This season, the 100 point mark for Neptunas is something they can either achieve for themselves or allow their opponents to surpass, which is easier than for anyone to eat a piece of cake. The Neptunas team, who currently shares first place in the league, is a magnet for overs at home with an average of 98.7 points per game at the Švyturis Arena in the European Cup matches. Cedevita, who may not be the strongest team, also enjoys racking up points and is capable of playing solidly. Neptunas struggles with both defense and any form of play, with the only thing going for them being their accuracy, but I believe the team will play aggressively and this won't be a problem for either of these teams.

After very unsuccessful first games at home, Olaj managed to rehabilitate in away games and now has all the advantages at home. The Italians from Trieste won the first game only thanks to their exceptional shooting accuracy. Olaj seemed better in both meetings, throwing 13 times in the first game and 20 times more in the second one than their opponents. The battle for the ball was won by the Hungarian club in both matches, and they also have the advantage of playing at home, staying in one position higher in the standings. Although they lost the first game at home, Olaj's team seems much stronger and should take care of business at home, especially considering the freshness factor for the Italians, who will have played four games in eight days, including two away games. All indicators point to Olaj's favor, and I believe it's worth taking them at equal odds.

The Romania team playing very well and confidently at home, preferring a fast-paced and productive style of basketball, is the second best offensive team, averaging 95.3 points per European Cup game. Their opponents, the Hamburg team, are one of the worst European Cup teams this season, with a record of 0 wins and losses. Even against a struggling team like Germany, who have only won two games this season, Romania looks tragically strong. Although the Germans don't always lose by convincing margins, in this game the handicap for Cluj must be significant. They have already won by 19 points in their away game, so we can expect a similar result from Romania at home. Cluj looks incredibly strong at their home arena and demonstrate better scoring compared to the league average of 98.7 points, leaving Germany no choice but to return home with a bigger deficit than the given handicap.

The last 1st Round NFL match and I am going with the Texans with a negative handicap. It's very simple for me, the Texans are just a better team from my perspective and they always make it to the playoffs with a 9-game winning streak, where they have defeated some good teams such as the Jaguars, Bills, and away game against Chiefs with Mahomes, and also the Chargers. The Steelers made it to the playoffs through a wildcard spot and their whole season has not shown much stability, even though they have a veteran group led by the legendary Aaron Rodgers, I believe the Texans' defense will overpower them and bring them to victory. Texans may not have as much playoff experience, but in the last 2 seasons they have won both Wild Card rounds, so only a home handicap can save the Steelers.

Long and with a strong composition, Atletico certainly does not cut corners and in the last round they played both Griezmann, and Gallagher, as well as other starting lineup or substitutes from the bench. Now the opponent is once again clearly weaker from the second league, Deportivo. The Champions League is still far away, so there is no need to be cautious, and the team is used to playing in the middle of the week. Lately, Deportivo has been playing poorly, especially in defense, where the team has conceded 5 goals in their last 6 matches. They did manage to defeat Mallorca in the previous round, but I believe Atletico will approach Deportivo accordingly and win.

After the crush, one can expect a reaction from Bayer, who have been playing very well away from home this season. In terms of lost points, Bayer Germany is only behind Bayern team, which shows how strong they have been in away games this season. Currently, Bayer has managed to win 8 out of their last 10 away matches. The odds are slightly higher than usual, but that is because Hamburg performs well at home. However, they struggle to compete against teams of this caliber even at home. It is no surprise that Hamburg, who are currently at the bottom of the league, will most likely lose to the strong Bayer team, who are only arriving in Peru.

Having reached their peak form, Monaco is now able to demonstrate better basketball in Europe than ever before. With 5 wins in a row, including defeating Real Madrid and breaking Valencia's impressive winning streak, they have proven themselves on the court. Now they are headed to Paris to face a team that is closer to the bottom than to the playoffs, and I believe Monaco's current form will lead them to victory. They have already beaten Paris 3-0 this season, on all fronts, with each win by a margin of 5 or more points. There are no new injuries, although it is unclear if Theis will play, but I believe Monaco can overcome this loss against Valencia in this match.

The fantastic revenge against Zvezda was, now it's time for revenge against Maccabi. I believe conclusions will be made after analyzing that painful loss in Kaunas. We will work on defense and Cisco will be aggressive in offense, even when Goss and enough time to shine are missing. With decreased rotation, only the best defenders will come in handy for Zalgiris. We have seen this before when Goss was injured. Maccabi doesn't seem as confident lately, with 3 losses in the Euroleague, so it's necessary to take advantage of this weaker team if we are still thinking about making it to the playoffs.
