The season opener is never an easy one to call. All you can go off are last year's performances and unproven summer deals. On the flip side, this is the same case for the bookies, with few teams favoured too heavily. A treble of Leicester, Sheffield United and Chelsea will pay around 3/1 depending on the bookmaker.
My first pick off the season is based mostly on last season, as well as expectations for the current year taken into account. Last season the MK Dons were consistently a reliable addition to an accumulator, often favoured but reasonably priced. Promotion was a pair of playoff games away from the Dons last year, and top six is the least I expect from them this time round.
Pick #1: MK DONS to beat Oldham Athletic within the ninety minutes at 8/13.
Only after placing the bet did I care to look about for a better price - Coral are offering 8/11, a significant difference when bigger money is on the line.
