Army Geniuses vs. GeekFam
- When: Friday, Dec. 9, 2022
GeekFam versus Army Geniuses projects as one of this weekend’s most competitive eSports matches. Slight favorite Army Geniuses has won 3-of-5 with a loss and a draw.
The chalk in this has won two straight. One of the victories was 2-0 versus GeekFam on Dec. 4. The -119 underdog bounced back from the loss in their next match with a win over EHOME.
GeekFam is 3-2 in their last five. This should go down to the wire. So at this point, because they offer slightly better odds, Army is the play.
eSports Betting Pick: Army Geniuses -114
League of Legends Wild Rift
Nova vs. Weibo Gaming
- When: Friday, Dec. 9, 2022
It’s difficult to understand the odds in this match. Weibo Gaming is 2-0 after a pair of victories, which is pretty good.
Nova is 3-0, which might explain why they’re the chalk, but nothing explains why Nova offers underlay odds. Weibo is a solid LoL squad and +177 odds are more than fair.
eSports Betting Pick: Weibo Gaming +177
FunPlus Phoenix vs. Keepbest Gaming
- When: Friday, Dec. 9, 2022
FunPlus had lost 2-of-3, but the underdog in this got off the losing track with a nice win over JD Gaming in their last.
Still, Keepbest looks tough to beat. The -400 fave lost to Nova in their last but before falling to Nova, Keepbest had dominated JD Gaming 3-1.
No doubt, Keepbest can win this. But the odds make the chalk unplayable. FunPlus is a great LoL Wild Rift team. Give Phoenix the nod.
eSports Betting Pick: FunPlus Phoenix +264
Valorant
Bonk vs. Mandatory
- When: Saturday, Dec. 10, 2022
Bonk has won 4-of-5. So it’s obvious why they’re the -200 chalk in this match.
But rival Mandatory has also won 4-of-5. Not only that, but Mandatory is on a 3-match winning streak. So far, Bonk is attracting more action. Mandatory is in better form, though. Backing the dog makes sense.
eSports Betting Pick: Mandatory +146
Counter-Strike
Bonk vs. Mandatory
- When: Friday, Dec. 9, 2022
Bonk has won 4-of-5. So it’s obvious why they’re the -200 chalk in this match.
But rival Mandatory has also won 4-of-5. Not only that, but Mandatory is on a 3-match winning streak. So far, Bonk is attracting more action. Mandatory is in better form, though. Backing the dog makes sense.
eSports Betting Pick: Mandatory +146
AGO vs. PACT
- When: Saturday, Dec. 10, 2022
PACT has won 3-of-5. The reason it’s difficult to back the underdog is because none of the 3 wins were back-to-back.
AGO has also won 3-of-5. But AGO strung together three straight wins. The chalk lost their last match, which means there’s a good chance they bounce back with a win in this.
eSports Betting Pick: AGO -270
