Looking for value is our raison d’être, therefore we tend to go for big fancy prices. Today we will go for a major favourite Indianapolis Colts (4/9) to beat New Orleans Saints (7/4).

The reason for this is that Indianapolis Colts have overcome two of the best defences in the NFL.

Minnesota Vikings are in a difficult game against New Orleans Saints, however, if they get pass them then they could upset the favourites Indianapolis Colts, if they should comfortably win against New York Jets.

Therefore take the 9/2 now (5.5) and have a nice fat profit on February 7th.

With a lovely win on the Christmas No1 with Rage Against The Machine it is time to play up winnings on some long term English football bets:

English Premier:

• Wigan to be relegated 7/1
• Fulham each way for the handicap league 11/1
• Wayne Rooney each way to be top goal scorer 12/1
• Lay Chelsea for the Premier winners 8/11

English Championship:

• Swansea to be promoted 9/1
• Robert Earnshaw top goal scorer 16/1

English League One:

• Deon Burton top goal scorer 10/1

English League Two:

• Morecambe to be promoted 6/1
• Lincoln to be relegated 4/1

Blue Square Premier:

• Stalybridge each way to be promoted

The stand out bet from the draw is to lay England at 6/1 because England will create a little drama in the competition. The hope is to back them at bigger odds later on therefore locking in profits. if they do not make the usual slip up then you are looking at a 16% payoff on a team that will have to progress the Brazil, Germany or Spain in the future - a viable proposition.

Other bets to consider:

Wayne Rooney (14/1), Samuel Eto (40/1), Nicolas Anelka (40/1), look value bets for highest goal scorer.

Must lay Russia to host 2018 World Cup.
