THE Six Nations has been a stormer so far and today's match should be no different with Scotland taking on France in Paris.
Scotland haven't won in the French capital since 1999 – and have never begun a Six Nations campaign with back-to-back victories – but are full of belief after taking the scalp of Ireland in last week's opener and are 11-4 at Betfair to triumph.
France, narrowly beaten by England last week, are 2-5 at the likes of Coral and Betfair while the hosts to be leading at half-time and full-time pays 17-20 at Betfair.
Elsewhere today the snooker Grand Prix Final sees Barry Hawkins chalked up at 1-2 favourite by Betfred in his showdown with Ryan Day (7-4, Stan James).
Jordan is the man for NBA tips and will add his bets below ahead of the night's action.
I usually stay up for the PPV UFC events but UFC 208 just isn’t exciting me at all so record it is and watch after I’m up in the morning.
One fight has grabbed my attention and the price is too good to turn down.
UFC 208
Dustin Poirier v Jim Miller
Jim Miller to win the fight
3/1
(365)
With fights, especially MMA, anything can happen and Jim Miller is an animal so will take my chances with a small punt.

The most ultimate of fails. Should have just stuck with the Warriors but the Lakers win have me too much confidence in Milwaukee being beaten, which they weren’t…
Well done any winners.

Pacers shot down both doubles but thankfully my long shot landed for another nights profit. It doesn’t do my stats any favours but it certainly helps the bank!

Good luck all.
Main bet in the UFC came in with the double of the Poirier win & Souza submission win (4/5). 2 from 4 in the smaller bets (All around evens) so decent night. Jacare surely on the brink of a title shot. In the Rugby the yellow card bet was a loser with surprisingly no cards in the Welsh game. The main bet is still pending, Wales covered their handicap yesterday so just need the Scots to do their part (+11.5). Also on Scotland over 17.5 points (5/6). GL
Main bet was a winner with the Scots keeping it close but they got stuck on 16 with a shocking conversion so the over 17.5 was a loser. Well done to the French who looked far better
Giving tonight a miss after last nights shambles as we have a much better card tomorrow.
Like Spurs -4 (1/2 @ Skybet) against a Knicks side in tatters, but there’s always that lingering feeling that they’ll sort it out soon. Probably not against the Spurs mind. Good luck on any NBA punts.

Six Nations Single
France v Scotland
Total points under 43.5
This has the potential to be a cracker, but quite often that means the reverse. France will be a more formidable opposition than Ireland in the first half and Scotland have got enough to keep France on the back foot. Tight and defensive might be the order of the day and recent h2h suggest this.

Tonight’s NBA:
Spurs -4.5
Kings over 101.5 team points
A tough card tonight and very nearly a no bet for me. However, as Jordan has said already, the Knicks are in disarray at the minute and one of the last teams you want to play is the Spurs. Spurs should cover the full handicap but I’m happy with the -4.5. The Kings are a team that love to score and have hit 100+ in their last 10 home games. Tonight they face a Pelicans team struggling away from home so should hopefully cover the team total.
Good luck!
Week: 5-3
Season: 10-6
Can’t see much wrong with that other than no odds Merv.
Ahh…I knew I forgot some.
A shade over evens
1.05/1 @ SkyBet
Screw it. Spurs shortening and line getting bigger so going to stake 4.5 points on the -4 @ 4/9 @ Skybet
Not a tip as 4/9 is no tip.
New Orleans Pelicans @ Sacramento Kings
Pelicans +3.5 @ 1.90 (PP)
Both bets on the same game tonight, hoping for a 2-0 to end the week.
It’s been a bit of a tough ol grind this week, so will be happy to finish at 50%.

Spurs -4

No Wade, Butler or Mirotic for Chicago. If the Bulls win that I won’t be on the NBA again until after the All-Star game haha
