Arsenal looks good. They've already beaten Marseille on the road in a 1-0 win on October 19th and they have looked significantly better at home. At home, they are 2-0 in the champions league, and 8-0-1 overall (at home). Arsenal's total record stands at 5-1-4, -1 goal difference and 16 goals. Marseille goes into this game 3-6-3 with 1 goal difference and 15 goals this season. They are 1-3-3 on the road from what I've seen. Arsenal to me looks good not great. I think they are pretty likely to win...
*UPDATE: Arsenal has a few players out. Aside frome some injuries I've heard they may bench a couple players as well. I'm trying to find the details (if there are any) but here is a link to thier injury report http://www.arsenal.com/team-news
I still think Arsenal is the pick, but I dont think a draw is out of the question.

Pick #2 Vancouver Canucks
I don’t feel great about this game, but I did say I would post more. The Canucks have looked less than average on the road (2-3), the Flames have looked less than spectacular at home (2-3). Vancouver has looked a bit better on paper, and ranks a little higher in goals per game, power play and penalty kills. Vancouver in general has dominated Calgary in their last 10 games (8-0-2), and has played a tougher schedule in my opinion. Knocking off teams like Washington recently, and maybe most impressively Edmonton on the road. Vancouver is favored for a reason and I think everything above contributes to that conclusion. It will be close, but I would pick the Canucks to win by 1.

Thats probably all for today. Nothing else I like a lot. More tonight for November 2nd.
