Premier League: Matchweek 2 Betting Power Rankings

These are not your typical power rankings.

Of course, I don’t think Tottenham are a better team than Manchester City.

Movin’ on Up - Brighton

Betting the Premier League is like a game of Chutes and Ladders. It’s Brighton who move up the ladder to the fourth spot. The bet I like for them is their team total over 1.5 goals (-120). Brighton are a team who should cover their goal total against bottom-half teams more times than not this season. With their attacking style and always looking to play on the front foot, Brighton are a team who will always have x G. Roberto De Zerbi has Brighton playing like a top-six club with top-four upside.

This week they play a Wolves side who, at times, were stout defensively but should have their handful against this Brighton team. Brighton had no issues against Wolves, both home and away scoring a combined nine goals. Look for Brighton to continue climbing the power rankings as the books continue to undervalue them.
