Outcome: Manchester United wins
Percentages: Manchester United (47%) | Brighton (28%) | Draw (25%)

Both FanDuel Sportsbook and FiveThirtyEight agree that Manchester United should beat Brighton to open the upcoming EPL season. Man U's -180 odds to win translates to an implied probability of 64.3%, which is significantly more than FiveThirtyEight's projection percentage.

Having said that, I do think that Manchester United will open the new campaign with a victory. It'll be a close game, which is why I'm recommending Man U on the moneyline at -180.
