We go again.
LAS VEGAS — Here it is. Weekend fixtures are ready as Friday through Sunday Premier League action is here and Matchweek 28 is all systems go. From the betting perspective, MW27 saw moments of class with a 3-1 ledger including another satisfaction — in 4x consecutive releases now — of the *Best Bet by Darkseid Sports*. The Feature Play getting back in the win column with regularity after a glacial stretch has me pleased and humbled.
Anywho, moving on, I’m bullish on my chances again. Why shouldn’t I be? Here is the deal for MW28:
THE TIMELINE (All Times PST)
COINCIDENTAL STADIUM of the WEEK
A series depicting a stadium which corresponds to a play featured in The Premier League Prologue actions to open business.
- St. James’s Park, Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
MW28 POSITIONS PL
*Best Bet by Darkseid Sports* RECORD: 12-12-3 (Record displayed in Win-Loss-Push format)
2025-26 PUBLISHED BET RECORD: 43-40-3 (All plays, W-L-P format).
- Straight Bets (Sides, Totals, BTTS): 41-28-3 (56.9% Cash %, 61.1% push-or-better %)
- Parlays: 0-6
- Propositions (SoT, ATG, Team, Match, etc.): 2-6
These results are unacceptable, embarrassing and so far beneath established standards. I can do better, still. Obviously, the time is now to big stack on recent success and go on a big run.

BTTS SUPERFACT
KEY OPINION
This is a play on the fact the data and my interpretation of the situation say both sides 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 teams can score a goal in its respective match.
— ⚽️: MATCH PROP: MUNCRY OVER 8.5 SHOTS ON TARGET (-35)
📚: BetMGM
KEY METRICS
- MUN: Averages 6.4 SoT at Old Trafford
- CRY: Averages 3.81 SoT in all competitions
PROPDUSTER SUPERFACT
KEY OPINION
- I just think there is value in backing the over the SoT total when the home side alone accounts for roughly 75% of the total ask (6.4 of 8.5).
GL🤝Play Responsibly
— ⚽️BB: NEWEVE OVER 2.5 GOALS (-25)
📚: William Hill/Caesars
KEY METRICS
- NEW: 8/20 in GLS/90 (1.41) & 13/20 in GA/90 (1.44).
- NEWEVE: Competed to a 4-1 conclusion at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Merseyside on 11.29.25.
BEST BET SUPERFACTS
KEY OPINION
- I see this as a spot where goals should be on the menu as Newcastle is in fine, potent form offensively and I don’t think Everton will be kept off the score-sheet in back-to-back matches.
MY TAKE
For the *Best Bet by Darkseid Sports* for MW28, it’s a play on Newcastle – Everton to eclipse the posted total of 2.5 match goals (at -25 cents herein). The Geordies are really cooking right now coming off an UEL thrusting of Qarabag. Even better, it got to rest some players and it has three days between this league clash. Why mess with a good thing? Anthony Gordon is a blockbuster. Sandro Tonali can really play. Newcastle is good to score goals and give up a goal or two here. Everton was just nullified by Manchester United last go and I can’t see the Toffees going two straight matches without a goal. To date, Everton averages 1.00 Goals Scored in league play and that is all I am asking for from them here. The Geordies can handle the rest upon Tyne side. For all that, (NEWEVE OV 2.5 -25) is your *Best Bet by Darkseid Sports* for the Premier League Matchweek 28.
FC Record YTD: 14-10

I passed on this to focus on other positions. I had enough consternation coming with three plays for this week. This was a distant fourth.
