We go again.
LAS VEGAS — Here it is. Weekend fixtures are ready as Friday through Sunday Premier League action is here and Matchweek 31 is all systems go. It’s inconceivable the Premier League calendar is already at MW31! Where does the time go? Right then, from the betting perspective, MW30 saw mixed results with a 2-2 ledger including another satisfaction — in 6 of its last 7 releases releases now — of the *Best Bet by Darkseid Sports*.
Anywho, moving on, I’m bullish on my chances again. Why shouldn’t I be? I’m poised to close the term expertly and ferociously.
Here is the deal for MW31:
THE TIMELINE (All Times EST)
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.
- Old Trafford, The Theatre of Dreams, Manchester, England
MW31 POSITIONS PL
*Best Bet by Darkseid Sports* RECORD: 14-13-3 (Record displayed in Win-Loss-Push format)
2025-26 PUBLISHED BET RECORD: 49-44-3 (All plays, W-L-P format).
- Straight Bets (Sides, Totals, BTTS): 45-29-3 (58.4% Cash%, 62.3% POB%)
- Parlays: 0-7
- Propositions (SoT, ATG, Team, Match, etc.): 4-8
In total, I don’t feel like intrinsically these results meet my established standards. I can do better, still. Obviously, the time is now to big stack on recent success and go on a big run to close the 2025-26 Premier League season.
— ⚽️: “THE BTTS SPECIAL”
- EVECHE BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (-45)
📚: William Hill/Caesars
KEY METRICS
- EVE: 1+ Goals Scored in 21/30 league matches season to-date (70%).
- CHE: 4/20 in Goals Scored (53) & T3/20 in GLS/90 (1.73).
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 on the regular. 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.
— ⚽️: TEAM PROP: MANCHESTER UNITED OVER 4.5 SHOTS ON TARGET (-55)
📚: BetMGM
KEY METRICS
- MUN: 3/20 in Goals Scored (54) & 3/20 in PTS/MP (1.80).
- MUN: averages 5.77 SoT pursuant to Premier League play.
PROPDUSTER SUPERFACT
KEY OPINION
- I just think there is value in backing the team over the total shot prop when the Red Devils generally speaking have been clearing this number while Carrick has been at the wheel.
— ⚽️: MATCH PROP: NEWSUN UNDER 8.5 SHOTS ON TARGET (-10)
📚: BetMGM
KEY METRICS
- NEW: This will be the Magpies 6th match in the month of March.
- SUN: T3/20 in Goals Allowed (35) & T4/20 in GA/90 (1.13).
- NEWSUN: 3 SoT in a 1-nil Sunderland win on 12.14.25 at the Stadium of Light.
PROPDUSTER SUPERFACT
KEY OPINION
- In my opinion, a play on the under the shot target total is the proper way to proceed citing it’s a Derby and Newcastle is coming-off a run of tough fixtures. Some complacency and lethargy is due. I’m sensing a low-chance, tight and physical joust here not much different from the first encounter this PL term.
GL🤝Play Responsibly
— ⚽️BB: TOT DRAW NO BET (-50)
📚: William Hill/Caesars
KEY METRICS
- TOT: T9/20 in Goals Scored (40) & 9/20 in GLA/90 (1.30).
- NFO: 18/20 in GLS/90 (0.93) & 19/20 in Goals Scored (28).
BEST BET SUPERFACT
KEY OPINION
- I see this as a spot where Spurs are worth a try being the more rested team in the aftermath of midweek European play. One could argue, right now, Tottenham is playing better than it has in a while.
MY TAKE
For the *Best Bet by Darkseid Sports* for MW31, it’s a play on Tottenham Hotspur Draw No Bet (at -50 cents herein) when it hosts Nottingham Forest Sunday afternoon in North London. I was fairly certain I was done with Spurs but here we are. It had the draw versus Liverpool last weekend and midweek it did the job on Atleti, even if bidding adieu to Champions League play. Maybe this is the high point of the Spurs season? If so, I want to try to ride that wave. So for all that, TOT DNB -50 is your *Best Bet by Darkseid Sports* for the Premier League Matchweek 31.
FC Record YTD: 16-11
— ⚽️: MUN 90+ (M/L) +10
📚: Consensus Line
I passed on this in back-to-back weeks to focus on other positions. I liked the MUFC SoT prop better.

It’s tostadas at MW31. Suboptimal.
