We go again.
LAS VEGAS — Here it is. Weeknd fixtures are fair game and Saturday through Monday Premier League action is upon us and Matchweek 22 is all systems go. From the betting perspective, MW21 saw bad business and one of the worst results in the competition with a 0-3 ledger including another all-time level tough beat on the *Best Bet by Darkseid Sports*.
Anywho, moving on, I’m bullish on my chances again. Here is the deal for MW22:
THE TIMELINE
COINCEDENTAL STADIUM of the WEEK
A series depicting a stadium which corresponds to a play featured in The Premier League Prologue actions to open the show.
- Stamford Bridge, London, England.
MW22 POSITIONS PL
*Best Bet by Darkseid Sports* RECORD: 8-10-3 (Record displayed in Win-Loss-Push format)
2025-26 PUBLISHED BET RECORD: 31-33-3 (All plays, W-L-P format).
- Straight Bets (Sides, Totals, BTTS): 31-24-3
- Parlays: 0-6 (?!?)
- Proposition (SoT, ATG Team Props, etc.): 0-3
These results are unacceptable, embarrassing and so far beneath established standards. I hate it. I couldn’t even bring myself to list the percentages. MW21 really hurt my feelings. Obviously, the time is now to go on a run.
— ⚽️: “THE BTTS SPECIAL”
- CHEBRE BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (-40)
📚: William Hill/Caesars
KEY METRICS
- CHEBRE: 69 Goals Scored aggregate.
BTTS SUPERFACT
KEY OPINION
This is a play on the fact the data and mathematics say both parties will score a goal in this match.
MY TAKE
The BTTS Special has seen mixed results thus far but I’m undeterred in the pursuit of delivering winners. Not sure what I’m supposed to say really re: my take on The BTTS Special: I think both parties can score a goal in its respective match.
— ⚽️: PLAYER PROP: ANYTIME GOALSCORER: ERLING HAALAND (-40)
📚: FanDuel
KEY METRICS:
- Haaland: His 0.81 npxG+xAG/90 is in the 95th percentile compared to his positional opposites across the Europe’s Big 5 leagues. In domestic league play he’s averaging 0.99 GLS/90.
SUPERFACT
KEY OPINION
- I just think there is value in backing the goal-scoring industrial complex which is Erling Haaland to net a goal — or more — in the Manchester Derby.
GL🤝Play Responsibly
— ⚽️BB: TOTWHU UNDER 2.5 GOALS (+10)
📚: FanDuel, Circa Sports
KEY METRICS
- TOT: Spurs are 17/20 in aggregate xG (20.1) & 16/20 in npxG/90 (0.96).
- WHU: 22 Goals Scored in 21 league matches played YTD. Hammers are 16/20 in aggregate xG (21.5).
BEST BET SUPERFACTS
KEY OPINION
- I see this as a spot where goals should be hard to come by when discussing clubs who haven’t been able to put a beach ball in the back of the net.
MY TAKE
For the *Best Bet by Darkseid Sports* for MW22, it’s a play on Tottenham- West Ham to stay Under 2.5 match goals (at +10 herein). Briefly, I don’t think much of either side. Both are in poor form. Both have had injuries and/or AFCON exclusions. Both haven’t adapted to new managers. Both have poor attacking metrics. For all that, TOTWHU UND 2.5 is your *Best Bet by Darkseid Sports* for the Premier League Matchweek 22.
FC Record YTD: 11-7
— ⚽️: BHA 90+ (-15)
I passed on this to focus on other positions. There was reservation due to the fact the BHABOU fixture is a Derby and anything can happen. It’s not like the Amex has been a rock for the Seagulls lately.

BEYOND THE TABLE
You can get the Premier League Table anywhere. It matters at MW22, obviously. But a Table built on xG is something we can use for Sports Investment purposes over the course of the competition in the now and Squawka has done solid, practical work in bringing us this PL Table built on xG.

FUTURISTICS REVISITED
It’s tostadas at MW21. Cole Palmer would have to go on a run, which is possible as he’s been superb upon his return. Amad creates and has been fine for United but the AFCON absence is detrimental. Brentford has vastly exceeded any expectation anybody had. I had it wrong there, as of now.
