19:00 Chieri W vs Vandoeuvre Nancy W
Chieri W to win 3-1
Set Score
50 WIN
@+259
Win
130
Chieri should be more efficient in transition and better equipped for “set-ending” sequences (good serve, good block touch, clean counterattack). Nancy can absolutely steal a set if they win the serve??"receive battle for a stretch. Over the full match, I trust Chieri’s structure and late-set discipline more.
19:00 OK Nebo W vs Gran Canaria W
Gran Canaria W
Win Match
50 WIN
@-277
Win
18
This matchup looks close on paper, but Gran Canaria’s likely advantage is in first-contact stability and turning defensive touches into points. Zapreši? at home can create momentum with serving runs, so I can see them taking a set. Over four sets, I trust the Spanish side to be cleaner in the critical rotations.
19:00 Vallefoglia W vs Nyiregyhaza W
Vallefoglia W to win 3-0
Set Score
50 WIN
@-333
Win
15
Italian teams in this competition often win by sheer side-out efficiency and net control, and Vallefoglia should have the deeper rotation quality. Nyíregyháza can hang if they serve tough and extend rallies, but that’s hard away. I expect a professional, straight-sets home win.
18:00 Mulhouse W vs Bekescsaba W
Mulhouse W to win 3-1
Set Score
50 WIN
@+300
Lose
-50
Mulhouse generally look more stable in system and should benefit from having already proven they can win phases with their serving and block. Békéscsaba at home can surge, but they’ll need long runs to flip the tie, and that’s hard if your passing wobbles. I see Mulhouse managing the match, even if they drop a set.
17:00 Scandicci W vs Le Cannet W
Scandicci W to win 3-0
Set Score
50 WIN
@-249
Win
20
Scandicci usually win these by dominating first contact. Strong serve??"receive lets them run quick options and keep the opponent’s block honest. Le Cannet’s chance is to disrupt with targeted serving and extend rallies, but that’s hard away. I see Scandicci pulling away early and keeping the foot on the gas.
16:30 Galatasaray W vs Bevo Roeselare W
Galatasaray W to win 3-0
Set Score
50 WIN
@-499
Lose
-50
This feels like a classic “home bounce-back” spot. Stuttgart are usually much sharper in reception and defense in their own gym. THY can still take over stretches with serving pressure and quick point scoring. I’ll side with Stuttgart to be steadier in the longer rallies and win four, with the tie likely staying tense.
16:00 Vakifbank W vs Alba Blaj W
Vakifbank W to win 3-0
Set Score
50 WIN
@-588
Win
9
VakifBank’s system volleyball (serve pressure + structured block/defense) is a nightmare for teams that don’t pass perfectly. Blaj can compete if they side out at a high clip, but over a full match Vakif’s depth and tempo tend to grind opponents down. I expect a controlled home win with one tight set at most.
00:00 Jupiter Links v New York
New York
50 WIN
@-149
Win
34
New York’s roster is simply deeper and more “plug-and-play” for this simulator format, with elite all-around games from Schauffele/Fitzpatrick plus Fowler’s shot-shaping and Cameron Young’s power. The big swing factor is Tiger Woods: this match lines up with his Season 2 debut after a long injury layoff, and even a small amount of rust is costly in a short, high-leverage TGL match. If New York stay steady in the triples (alternate-shot) segment, I expect their “higher floor” to carry them in singles.

17:00 Budowlani Lodz W vs Benfica W
Budowlani Lodz W
Win Match
50 WIN
@-714
Win
7
Budowlani should be more physical at the net and more consistent in serve??"receive at home, which matters a lot in Champions League group play. Benfica can frustrate with pace and crafty serving patterns, but if ?ód? passes well, they’ll control side-out and block/defense sequences. I like the Polish side to pull away in the mid-sets with stronger terminal hitting.
01:15 HOU Texans @ PIT Steelers
HOU Texans
Money Line
50 WIN
@-156
Win
32
Houston arrive scorching hot on a nine-game win streak, and that kind of momentum usually shows up first in early-down efficiency and pass-rush energy. Pittsburgh’s home primetime aura is real, but the Texans’ season profile suggests they travel well if they get to 20+ points. With the Steelers also managing minor availability issues (e.g., Jaylen Warren illness) and Houston entering as a slight betting favorite, I’ll lean Texans to finally break their road-playoff hoodoo.

NE Patriots
Money Line
50 WIN
@-188
Win
26
New England are 14??"3 for a reason: they’ve been elite on both sides of the ball and are a much tougher out at home. The Pats’ main concern is their O-line health/illness situation, but getting key defenders back in the mix (e.g., Spillane full, Landry trending upward) raises their “stop-rate” ceiling. The Chargers can win if they create chaos with pressure and turn it into a late-field-position game, but I trust New England’s structure to close.

21:30 SF 49ers @ PHI Eagles
PHI Eagles
Money Line
50 WIN
@-227
Lose
-50
San Francisco’s injury situation is the headline. Fred Warner is on IR, and both Trent Williams and George Kittle are listed as questionable, which can snowball against an Eagles front in a physical playoff game. Philly getting Lane Johnson back to practice is a huge stabilizer for their offense, especially in pass protection. If the Eagles win the trenches and avoid giveaways, I like them to control tempo and wear down a banged-up 49ers defense.
18:00 BUF Bills @ JAX Jaguars
JAX Jaguars
Money Line
50 WIN
@+100
Lose
-50
Jacksonville’s home edge is real (13??"4 overall, 7??"2 at home), and the analytics lean slightly their way. This is also a sneaky head-to-head “psychology” spot: the Jags have beaten the Bills in both prior AFC Wild Card meetings. Buffalo can absolutely win behind Josh Allen, but with key pieces on the injury report (like Dalton Kincaid questionable), I’ll take Jacksonville to be a bit cleaner on home turf.
17:30 Saracens v Toulouse
Toulouse
To Win
50 WIN
@-555
Lose
-50
Pool 2 is insanely tight (both on 5 points), so this feels like a “win your home game or suffer” spot. Saracens’ route is set-piece accuracy plus defensive suffocation, but Toulouse’s forward pack and phase rhythm can outlast almost anyone if they get quick ball. I’ll take Toulouse in a tight one because their attacking ceiling is higher if the game opens even slightly.
17:00 Corona Brasov W vs Jeanne d'Arc Dijon W
Corona Brasov (W)
Money Line
50 WIN
@-555
Lose
-50
Corona are one of the seeded teams for the group phase, and Romanian home games can be a genuine edge when the crowd gets involved and the tempo turns emotional. Dijon have the higher recent “ceiling” (EHF Finals 2025 participants), so this is a real test. They also came through qualification in a very tight tie, which hints they’re not totally bulletproof away from home. I’ll side with Corona to win a tight, defence-first opener at home.
17:00 Nykobing FH W vs Esztergomi KC W
Nykobing FH (W)
Money Line
50 WIN
@-200
Win
25
Esztergom are the European Cup debutants, but they bring serious, experienced names (e.g., Zita Szucsánszki, Szandra Sz?'ll?'si-Zácsik), so they won’t be overawed. Still, Nykøbing’s recent Champions League exposure gives them a higher “European-game” floor, especially in decision-making and defensive sequencing. I’m leaning Nykøbing at home to be a bit cleaner in the closing possessions of each half.
15:15 Bordeaux v Northampton Saints
Bordeaux
To Win
50 WIN
@-499
Win
10
This is the headline Pool 4 clash: both are 10 points, both unbeaten, so it’s a real measuring stick. Northampton can absolutely score in bursts, but UBB at home tend to generate huge momentum swings off scrum/lineout launch and fast ruck ball. If Bordeaux win the gain-line early and force Saints into exit pressure, I see UBB taking it by a score.
15:00 HSG Blomberg Lippe W vs Chambray Touraine W
HSG Blomberg-Lippe (W)
Money Line
50 WIN
@-333
Lose
-50
Blomberg were an EHF Finals 2025 team, and that recent deep-run experience usually shows in how they manage momentum swings at home. Chambray can absolutely score in bursts, but away in Germany the margins are often about errors and defensive discipline. I’ll take Blomberg’s defensive structure and home energy to grind out the key runs.
15:00 Mosonmagyarovari KC W vs Thuringer HC W
Thuringer HC (W)
Money Line
50 WIN
@-200
Lose
-50
Thüringer are the defending champions, and they’ve looked sharp after the break with three straight away wins in the Bundesliga ??" a great sign for a road opener. Mosonmagyaróvár are experienced at this stage and can make it messy with aggressive defence, but Thüringer’s ability to win “ugly” games travels well. If Thüringer’s backcourt gets clean looks off second phase, I see them edging it.
15:00 Odense Handbold W vs CSM Bucuresti W
Odense Handbold (W)
Money Line
50 WIN
@-454
Lose
-50
Odense are second (13 points) and on a four-game win streak, including a win over CSM earlier in the group (and they just lifted the Danish Cup). CSM are a dangerous “ceiling” team and get a new-coach bounce with Bojana Popovi? taking her first Champions League match in charge, but that transition can also bring volatility. With Odense owning one of the best attacks in the competition, I’ll back them to out-execute CSM in the key late-set moments.
13:00 Borussia Dortmund W vs Team Esbjerg W
Team Esbjerg (W)
Money Line
50 WIN
@-370
Win
14
Esbjerg are fourth with 9 points and already beat Dortmund by seven in the reverse fixture, with Filter in goal and Reistad controlling the scoring load. Dortmund can make it uncomfortable at home, but Esbjerg’s star power and structure travel well, especially if they’re winning the goalkeeper battle again. I see Esbjerg pulling away in the second half.
13:00 CS Rapid Bucuresti W vs Tertnes W
CS Rapid Bucuresti (W)
Money Line
50 WIN
@-666
Lose
-50
Rapid have recent Champions League??"level experience, and at home they’re usually comfortable turning games into a structured 6v6 grind. Tertnes are seeded for the group phase and have real scoring punch. Henriette Espetvedt Eggen has been a high-volume finisher, so this won’t be easy. I’m leaning Rapid because home pressure and their ability to manage tempo should matter in the final 10 minutes.

8
Brest are league leaders with seven wins and one loss and have been one of the best attacks in the competition. Podravka are sixth and will miss Katarina Pandza (52 goals) due to injury. Brest also won the reverse fixture 33??"25 and arrive with a deep roster full of recent World Championship medallists, which matters after a long break.
13:00 Toulon v Munster
Toulon
To Win
50 WIN
@-499
Win
10
Pool 2 is insanely tight (both on 5 points), so this feels like a “win your home game or suffer” spot. Toulon at Stade Mayol can suffocate teams with physicality and territory, and Munster’s path is usually accuracy plus ruthless red-zone efficiency. I’m leaning Toulon because I expect them to win more of the contact and field-position exchanges over 80 minutes.
06:50 B Agnoletto vs B Quick

50 WIN
@+125

-50
If it becomes a reduced-group finale after the late climbs, Howson’s experience reading the decisive moves should put him ahead. Agnoletto looks more sprint-skewed on paper, and if the race gets whittled down on the repeated climbs, that can leave him chasing rather than dictating.
06:50 C Harper vs O Bleddyn
C Harper
Matchups
50 WIN
@-149
Lose
-50
Bleddyn is clearly flying right now (he just podiumed the elite TT at these championships), so his engine is not in question. But the road race is built around repeated climbs and a nasty late pinch near the finish, and Harper is explicitly flagged as a genuine road-race factor on this course. If it comes down to who can follow or launch the decisive move on the final Malcolm Street effort, I trust Harper to handle that better than a more TT/engine-oriented rider.
06:50 D Howson vs Zac Marriage
D Howson
Matchups
50 WIN
@-227
Win
22
Howson brings proven WorldTour/ProTeam-level race craft and endurance, which is usually decisive on a circuit that’s attritional lap after lap. Marriage is a talented younger rider on a development setup, but this kind of national champs course often punishes small positioning errors and inefficient efforts. If it becomes a reduced-group finale after the late climbs, Howson’s experience reading the decisive moves should put him ahead.
06:50 J Plowright vs S Welsford
J Plowright
Matchups
50 WIN
@-303
Win
17
Both are sprint-leaning riders on the start list, but this circuit’s repeated climbing and the late punch make it much less of a “pure bunch sprint” than it looks. Welsford is highlighted more as a criterium weapon and a pure fast finisher, which can be exposed if the race turns into repeated selections on Malcolm/William Street. Plowright’s profile shows a bit more all-round resilience alongside his sprint, so I trust him slightly more to still be there when it matters.
06:50 T Saunders vs K Richards
K Richards
Matchups
50 WIN
@+110
Win
55
Richards has a much more rounded profile (TT, hills, and sprint contributions), which tends to translate into simply “lasting longer” on a demanding nationals circuit. Saunders’ available profile signal is thinner and doesn’t scream late-race punch or climbing durability, which is what you need here. Unless Saunders lands the perfect break that stays away, Richards is the safer bet to finish ahead over the full distance.
01:00 GB Packers @ CHI Bears
GB Packers

Even as the lower seed, Green Bay’s profile suggests they can win this kind of game, and ESPN’s matchup model slightly favors them. If the Packers can survive the Bears’ run game early and force longer third downs, I like their chances to steal it late.

The Rams have been the far better team over the season (12??"5 vs. 8??"9), and they’ll be motivated after Carolina’s Week 13 upset. The Panthers’ path is another turnover-heavy, run-first script like the regular-season win, but that’s hard to repeat against a McVay offense that can adjust quickly.

This one screams “tight margins.” Sale are on 6 points, Sharks on 5 in Pool 1, so it’s basically a mini play-in for momentum. I lean Sale at home because their kick-chase and defensive line speed can make it miserable for travelling sides if the weather or handling gets messy. If Sale win the aerial battle and force the Sharks to exit under pressure, I see them grinding it out.
17:00 Herning Ikast W vs FTC W
FTC (W)
Money Line
50 WIN
@-111
Win
45
These sides are level on 10 points, and FTC already showed they can win the matchup in the reverse leg (27??"24) with a big goalkeeping performance. Ikast are improving and home court helps, but FTC’s ability to win ugly (like their one-point win over Brest right before the break) gives them the higher “close-game” floor. If FTC keep Ikast off easy transition looks, I like them to steal it late.
17:00 Larvik W vs CS Baia Mare W
Larvik (W)

-50
Larvik are unbeaten and top of the Norwegian league, and they’ve already played (and won) matches in 2026. Baia Mare are starting their year with a very tough road spot. Larvik also have positive European history vs. Baia Mare (they won all four of their past Champions League meetings), which matters in a new group-phase opener. If Larvik’s defence can force Baia Mare into rushed shots, the home side’s rhythm should take over.
17:00 Viborg HK W vs Zaglebie Lubin W
Viborg HK (W)
Money Line

@-312
Win
16
Viborg’s European pedigree is obvious (multiple-time Champions League winners historically), and that kind of club DNA tends to show in first-round “must be professional” games. Zaglebie are experienced in Europe too, but their ceiling usually depends on winning long defensive stretches ??" and that’s harder away in Denmark. I’ll back Viborg’s home control and cleaner late-set execution to be the separator.

I’ll lean Nilüfer to grind it out if they stabilize first contact and avoid giving Aras free transition looks. The talent depth (e.g., Myriam Sylla, Kaja Grobelna, Alexia Car?u?u, plus veteran setting options) should show across long stretches, especially if Galatasaray win the serve??'receive battle. Kuzeyboru will need a “perfect-efficiency” night and big scoring runs on serve to stay level??"possible in patches, but hard over a full match.

Glasgow are 2/2 with 10 points and top Pool 1, while Clermont are winless on 0??"hard to ignore. Clermont at home can absolutely lift (Marcel-Michelin is a different animal), but Glasgow’s current identity??"maul efficiency and sharp edge play??"travels well when they’re confident. If Glasgow’s set piece holds up, I think they control enough possession to come out on top.

Eczac?ba?? are chasing the leaders near the top, while ?lbank are down in the relegation fight zone ??" so the expectation is a comfortable home win. ?lbank’s only real path is to serve aggressively and hope to disrupt Eczac?ba??’s rhythm, but sustaining that pressure for three sets is a tall order.

Gyor are still unbeaten (8/8), and they’ve had the best “two-way” profile so far, leading the competition in both attack and defensive efficiency. Metz are strong at home, and this is their chance for revenge after losing the reverse fixture 31??"27. But Gyor’s depth, plus the Sako factor in goal, makes them hard to outlast over 60 minutes. If Gyor keep Metz’s pace under control and force longer possessions, I see them edging another tight one.
15:00 VFL Oldenburg W vs Lokomotiva Zagreb W
VFL Oldenburg (W)
Money Line

-50
Oldenburg’s profile screams “home favourite.” They can play fast, punish turnovers, and they’ve already shown huge scoring output in qualification, including a massive aggregate margin. Lokomotiva have plenty of European know-how (they’ve even won the old Challenge Cup), but away trips to Germany often become a pace and physicality problem. If Oldenburg win the goalkeeper and transition battle, they should create a decisive run in the middle third of the match.

This one is much tighter on paper, but Ayd?n have simply collected more points so far and look a touch more stable week to week. In these lower-table matchups, the deciding factor is often who gifts fewer points in reception/transition, and Ayd?n’s profile suggests the higher floor. If Goztepe can ride home energy and win the serve-receive battle early, it can flip ??" but I’ll lean Aydin to edge it in the key end-of-set moments.

Fenerbahce W

@-3333
Lose
-50
Fenerbahçe come in as clear contenders near the top of the table, while THY sit mid-pack, so the “baseline level” gap is big before you even get into matchups. THY’s best route is to slow the game down with side-out stability and get their middles involved (e.g., Karmen Aksoy), but that’s hard if Fener’s serve pressure is landing.

Renegades have momentum (two wins in a row), and they’ve already nicked a derby against the Stars recently, which matters in these high-variance rivalry games. The Stars are still higher on the ladder, but they’re trying to halt a three-game losing streak. If that early wobble returns, the Renegades can pounce again. I’m leaning Renegades because the current trendline is pointing their way.

They’ve already beaten SA at the WACA by 52 runs this week. That kind of fresh head-to-head is a big psychological edge in a quick turnaround. SA’s issue was a damaging middle-overs stretch while chasing, and unless they tighten that up, WA’s bowling looks well suited to controlling the innings again. Home conditions plus recent proof of concept push me to WA.

The Heat have been perfect at home in Queensland this season, and that familiarity usually matters at the Gabba. Thunder’s broader form is rough (only one win in their last eight), even though that lone win was against Brisbane earlier this season, so the Heat should be properly warned. Still, if Brisbane bat even decently, their home edge should swing it.

Auckland come in with obvious confidence and firepower??"Phillips and Jacobs just showed how quickly they can take a game away. Their squad looks built to pressure attacks from ball one (Chapman/Solia/Phillips/Jacobs), and Johal’s wicket-taking helps them control key overs. Canterbury at Hagley is never easy, but Auckland’s ceiling feels higher right now.

Auckland W

Auckland’s squad has more proven T20 batting depth (Down/Green/Halliday), and they tend to match up well when they can keep the run rate ticking through the middle overs. Canterbury needs a near-perfect powerplay with the ball to avoid chasing the game early. If it becomes a “one big partnership” match, I trust Auckland to produce it more.
