So the quintuple is off the books for Manchester United after they punted their FA Cup semifinal versus Everton. (Wikimedia Images)

Not that the Red Devils wanted to lose, but they must have bigger fish to fry – like nailing down the Premiership title. United are tied with Liverpool on top of the table with 71 points (with two games in hand) on 22 wins, five draws and four losses. They’re also massive –500 favorites for Wednesday’s matchup at Old Trafford against 14th-place Portsmouth (9-10-13).

Don’t forget, that’s –500 using the standard home-away-draw betting line for soccer. Portsmouth is priced at +1200 to pull off what would be a dramatic upset; even nailing down a draw at the Theatre of Dreams is a tall task at +500. United won nine of their last 10 meetings with one draw, which took place in 2007 at Fratton Park as Wayne Rooney sat out injured.
