Prediction
New England 2, DC United 1
Money line (ML)
New England (-190) is a little too expensive for my liking, even though they’re at home. We just haven’t seen enough of the teams to risk nearly two times your potential return.
The Revs posted a draw last week, falling behind quickly. DC United (+500) picked up a win last week at home, so this is anything but a slam-dunk play.
PASS, and look to the spread instead, playing NEW ENGLAND -1 (+135) very lightly. New England is unbeaten across its past 10 home matches against DC across all competitions.

Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 2.5 (-150) is a steep cost, but it’s a good play. Both of these teams hit the Over 2.5 in their opener last weekend.
New England has scored at least two goals in each of their past three matches against DC, too.
