Las Vegas - This framed/signed jersey is on the wall as you walk into my house. When you come visit, I'll show you the rest.

Getting out all my gear and gonna back Arsenal against Norwich City today. As you know, I'm a GUNNER for LIFE, and almost always bet Arsenal with my heart rather than my head. But in this spot, the numbers are so OVERWHELMING, me & Piers Morgan both gotta go Gunners. Yea, Piers is a YUGE fan of Arsenal, but he ain't at the top of the A list. It took me years, but finally convinced Jay Z to rock the Gunners. Told him that my old friend Sir Michael Philip Jagger, yea, Mick, was also Arsenal for life. Jay fired back at me and said, I got 99 problems, but Arsenal ain't one. Spike Lee has been seen in the stands at the Emirates Stadium as well as David Soul, the Hutch of 'Starsky & Hutch.' There's also John Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten, Oscar winners Kevin Costner, Colin Firth and Matt Damon. But when it comes to lists, there is a list, and then there is the lady who wears the crown, QUEEN ELIZABETH II. Found a quote from Cesc Fabregas who played for the Gunners from 2003-2011. Sources close to British royalty have disclosed that Her Majesty has been a fan for over 50 years. Fabregas got to meet the Queen and have a short convo. He told a Spanish radio show, “It seems the Queen follows football, and she told us she was an Arsenal fan."

Enough with the celebs, how about some numbers. Arsenal is sitting in the 10th slot on 43 points, with 10 wins, 8 losses and 13 draws. Norwich is staring relegation right in the eyes, on just 21 points, WORST in the league, with only 5 wins, WORST in the league, 20 losses MOST in the league, and posted 6 draws. The Gunners have scored 43 goals and allowed 41 for a thin +2 goal differential. The Canaries have managed to find the net only 25 times, WORST in the league, and allowed 56 goals for an UGLY -31 goal differential, and yes, once again, WORST in the league.

Here's a pretty cool stat. Arsenal is on a 26 match run without defeat in home league fixtures against promoted sides (Norwich was promoted this past season), winning 22 with 4 draws.

So, of course, we're gonna ignore the big fat price, -$240, and drop a pile of chips on Arsenal to win. And another pile of chips on the 'Double Result' prop, taking Arsenal to win the 1st half and the 2nd half at basically even money.
