Welcome to the sound of the start of the New Year's Day and second of January

fixtures in the EFL.

This is the NTT20 pod betting show.

This show is sponsored by Betfair.

And it's very strictly for over 18s only.

This is going to be George Ehrlich and myself, Ali Maxwell, making betting picks ahead of the

full slate of EFL action spread across two days. And as such, it's for over 18s only.

And we'll be talking about gambling, which comes with significant risks.

So please make sure you're aware of them.

Head to be gamblerware.org if you need to brush up on the risks that come with gambling.

George, how are you doing?

Happy New Year's Eve to you, Ali Mac, too.

And also to you.

On another day, on another pod, we'd probably do two to three minutes on New Year's resolutions.

Chit-chat. Sure. Just lighthearted, friendly, warm ourselves up, warm the hearts, perhaps, of the

listener, or just bore them to tears. We're not going to do that. I'm a bit hungover. We've both

got places to be today. So let's make some picks ahead of the EFL weekend after recapping last week.

It wasn't a great week in the sense that we both lost our naps, which is always quite painful.

You went back to the well backing Rotherham's opponents over 1.5 goals,

and that got you a very nice five to four winner with Stoke.

But QPR, Northampton both let you down,

or Northampton let the syndicates down.
