Slam quarters

Now on to the super long games with super dumb scheduling, I've gone on about this in the past so I won't reiterate my thoughts, which given they're supposedly going to 48 players next year (please god don't be 16 groups of 3) is going to be horribly moot in any case. Nice couple of pick ups on Evans and Rock, although they both cut it a tad too fine for my liking, fortunately the edge on MvG wasn't enough to actually bet so a small bullet was dodged there. This is also at the incredibly dumb stage where we get Littler/Rock, which should be dynamite, and then three rematches, which shouldn't. You could keep all the games on the same day but draw the last 16 as A1-D2, B1-C2, C1-B2, D1-A2 which'd have pushed the only rematch possibility to the semi final, but we can't always have nice things.

Humphries/Smith - 83/80/76/80
Evans/Price - 27/19/15/20
Littler/Rock - 72/73/73/73
Noppert/Wenig - 83/83/79/82

So yeah, all four quarters are looking like they should be very one sided, fortunately the schedule is such that I can just go to sleep for a day and a bit and get someone to wake me up when Littler is on. Noppert being the biggest favourite is maybe a tad surprising and that you can get 1.3 on the exchanges easily enough represents a good bit of value to me, I'm not sure what Danny can do to not be underrated ever.
