Chelsea/Luton - Friday 8/25
Only the one game today and it's Luton visiting Chelsea. Chelsea remains a disappointment, and I hate the term "get right game". That's what Chelsea is going to view this as. But, a newly promoted Luton didn't play last week due to their home field not being ready yet. This will give them a rested advantage and two weeks to plan for Chelsea. I've been back and forth on this one. Chelsea on paper has such a lopsided advantage. But, their form is just still awful. I don't want to pick a side here, but the best bet here is putting a Chelsea parlay. If I had to choose a straight, I guess I would lean Luton +1.5 at plus money, because it's so hard to put any bank on the Blues. However, I can't see Chelsea losing or drawing against Luton at home. That would be a new low. I think Luton can still give them problems, and I'm sure they'll park the bus to try to stop the Chelsea offense.
