Unfortunately the newsletter best bet was All Blacks u38.5 and that went up in flames (I was checking the wrong weather app all week that is for sure)
I did ok in the Currie Cup although lost pretty big going Bulls under 40.5 - really expected more from the Lions and sadly I went over 4.5 tries in the Boks v Argentina game
Onto this week and we have midweek Currie Cup - here are my projected handicaps
Pumas +12.5 v Bulls
Cheetahs -6.5 v Griquas
WP -7.5 v Lions
Australia and New Zealand have the week off but the Boks take on Argentina and here is my projected cap
South Africa -14.5 v Argentina (assuming Boks will mix things up a bit again)
We also have Currie Cup on the weekend - will post handicap projections Wednesday night and Bunnings NPC

Pumas +12.5 v Bulls (+12.5)
Cheetahs -6.5 v Griquas (-6.5)
WP -7.5 v Lions (-4.5)
Only difference is the WP game which I battled with as both teams so poor this weekend. If Gelant starts for WP I would be on the minus
SA v Argentina I went -14.5 and cap has opened -12.5

Hawkes Bay +7.5 (away at Canterbury)
Bay of Plenty +12.5 (away at Auckland)
Tasman Mako -27.5 (home vs Counties Manukau)
Otago -11.5 (away at Northland)
The other 3 games H/Cs are well set IMO, but wins for the 3 minuses (include Otago w) gives good odds in an accumulator.
Hoping not to have egg on my face next week this time
Good punting guys

Teams out. Ruhan Nel is a major factor for me any WP side with him in it is a better WP side I think the -4.5 is SWEET

This Pumas side has the look of a team focused on Saturdays game while the Bulls can secure top spot - Bulls on the minus and also fancy Bulls 1st half cap
Points set at 69.5

The points line is high but I think we see plenty of tries and going over 8.5

Pumas rotated big time and will target their last 2 games. Bulls can secure top spot with a BP win here.

Really should not be looking at overs points on the last match but I have a lot of faith in WP's inability to defend
WP v Lions
Lions over 24.5 @ 9/10

Points lines out in UK. Taken double -
Pum/Che over 67.5
Gri/WP over 63.5
@ 2.36/1
Sharks/Lions line a bit too high for me @ 74.5, should be high 60's at most.

Added Boks over 30.5 points @ 5/6
Can tell there’s a lack of rugby this weekend, getting more involved than normal in 1 match.

My opinion is that Orie is not Bok standard
Boks cover the minus but not a great watch.
Overall a good weekend so far and will b getting involved in Griquas v WP later

Stuart Berry a concern for overs, but think Griquas overs is the way to go. Like Griquas to win aswell.

I understand the sentiment for Griquas, but I think this will be the priority match for WP ahead of next week's fixture against the Sharks in Durban. I also like to believe that Griquas will rather fancy their chances against the Pumas next week in order to get the play off spot.
