#SDFC host #STLC and San Diego FC are favored. By a lot.

Be careful, as St. Louis City looked frisky last week. Let’s see how they fare against a better opponent.

Orlando City hosts Inter Miami this week. Do yourselves a favor- take the over and avoid picking a winner.

#OrlandoCity had the best of #InterMiami in 2025, but you’d imagine that cant hold for long.

#Doop host #NYCFC this weekend, and Philadelphia has the home advantage. These are two teams that I’m expecting a slight downturn from in 2026.

Could be a sneaky fun match.

#AustinFC host #DCUnited this weekend, and the odds are about what you’d expect.

Could be a lower goal total, and a chalky home win.

#CharlotteFC underperformed last week, but the #LAGalaxy underperformed for 12 straight months.

This is a game I will watch, but I have absolutely no idea which way it will go.

#VWFC host #TorontoFC this weekend.

These Canadian rivals play all the time. Vancouver Whitecaps have the home advantage, but I don’t want to sleep on #TFC here. This isn’t your 2025 club.

The Columbus #Crew96 are away favorites as they head to #SKC.

The only thing I could see here, is maybe SKC surprises them. These inter conference matchups can be funny.

Probably not, though.

#LAFC come in as heavy favorites over #HolditDown

The Houston Dynamo will have a tough opponent, and I am excited to see all the creative pro-LAFC plays coming in…

#FCDallas hosts #NashvilleSC in an inter conference matchup.

Dallas has a negligible home advantage, and will want to keep that total under 2.5. They will NOT want a shootout.

#Quakes74 host Atlanta United and some out as heavy home favorites. Atlanta’s lack of offense and horrible away stats push this beyond what I would have imagined.

SJ Earthquakes are -120 but still provide a value over Implied probability, if you have the stomach for it.

#RSL hosts the #Sounders after RSL played without half their starters. Seattle Sounders will be without Morris , PDLV, possibly Dotson.

Injuries add risk, but they also push Sounders up to +150.

Minnesota hosts FC Cincinnati in a game with a lot of question marks.

Does Minnesota come out more offensive than last season? How does the new formation work out against a tough opponent? Will FC Cincy miss Evander?
#LegionofLoons #AllForCincy

The Colorado Rapids host the Portland Timbers, and #Rapids96 look to have the advantage before kickoff.

I love Portland plays, though. Keep an eye out for my official play here.

MY #RBNY are heavy favorites hosting the #NERevs this weekend.

Also, scoring is likely, so there is a heavy chance of the over on 2.5 goals.

First up is #CFMontreal hosting #CF97

The model thinks Chicago has a distinct advantage, although the over/under could go either way.

I think the total is goin to depend on if CFM is a willing offensive participant.

#MLS Matchday 2 is right around the corner, and here are the model’s predictions for each Major League Soccer Game.

Let me know what you’re backing, and where you think the numbers are way off.

RB also looked very good…

I don’t disagree, though. They’re both going to be conceding and scoring a ton this year.

Generally, yes.

If you have patience for Saturday morning, G+A goals are a little more realistic.

Miami… that game could get out of hand.

I don’t think they’ve played Orlando in Orlando very well. Orlando went 2-0 last season.

I want to each week share some interesting odds. These are not official plays, but numbers I find interesting.

Oddly enough, I did say those exact words, though.

Not my podcast. We’re “The Designated Pundits”

Funny enough RB press made the same mistake.

If Snoop is the best representative of America during the Olympics, Al Green is that the rest of the time.

6/15 games for week 2 kick off before 5 PM local.

That was 11 last night.
