Dipping our toes back in...

After last Sunday's bitter, bitter, bitter disappointment (9/10 picks winning,) I'm easing my way back in with a gentle 7 timer to trouble the Old Enemy with.
Firstly I believe England will see off France at Twickenham, rather comfortably.
34-10, 26-18, 25-17. Those are 3 of the last 4 scores between England and France at Twickenham in 6 Nations competition and I wouldn't be surprised to see a score closer to the first one mentioned this afternoon.
The televised Super League encounter this evening between Crusaders RL and Bradford is going the way of the Welsh home side for me. A victory tonight sees them clear of their 4 point deduction for going into financial administration, it's their first home game of the season and the Bulls have been heard talking of needing time for new squad members and coaches to bed in, which sounds like getting excuses in early to me, the Crusaders will more than likely win HT/FT too but safety first with lots of wet weather around Britain today, scoring could be low.
In Dubai, where wet weather is a rarity, the ATP final between Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, I have going the way of the former World Number 1.
Despite the recent loss to Nole at the Aussie Open, Fed had won their previous 3, 3 set matches and still holds a 12-7 head to head record. Federer has won this tournament 3 times previously and has not dropped a set on his way to todays final whereas Djoko has dropped a set twice this week and a slow start from him today and it could be over quick smart, with Federer winning in two sets.
Finishing with 4 footy picks.
In le Championnat, Stade Rennes at home v Nice sees 2nd place playing 17th with 5 wins in their last 6 meetings with Nice at home, the other ending in a draw.
Renne have won their last 3 home games 7-0 on aggregate, Nice have managed 2 draws and a loss in their last 3 aways with a minus 4 goal difference.
Through to the Bundesliga match of the season possibly.
Can Bayern Munich halt Dortmunds seemingly inevitable march to only a seventh Bundesliga title in their 100 year history.
I've gone for over 2.5 goals because the Bundesliga currently has 16 of it's 18 teams averaging over 2.5 goals per game and recent meetings between these two sides have seen 2-1 twice, 3-1 twice and a 5-1 and recently Munich have been scoring for fun.
As easy as he is to dislike, Robben to score anytime looks a decent bet too.
The only Serie A action today sees Juventus take on Bologna at the Stadio Olimpico, where in 12 matches v Bologna they have not lost and after a poor showing v Lecce last Sunday (Buffon sent off early didn't help,)Del Nieri will be expecting a strong showing from his side in front of a home crowd to put their Champions League chase back on track.
Finally, La Liga action with Deportivo La Coruna hosting Real Madrid.
Madrid are 2/5 shots despite having a pretty woeful record at the Riazor, 1 win in 17 visits! That almost makes the general evens about Depor having a goal start worth taking but I've gone for overs on the goals again with the last 10 games between them averaging 3.5 goals per game.

LIGUE 1 STADDE RENNE v Lens
SERIE A JUVENTUS v Bologna
LA LIGA DEPORTIVO LA CORUNA v REAL MADRID OVER 2.5 GOALS
BUNDESLIGA BAYERN MUNICH v BORUSSIA DORTMUND OVER 2.5 GOALS

I'll be posting a small footy acca on my Twitter timeline, @rudgey76, later today, before the 3 o'clock kickoffs.
Good Luck if you're punting.
