Place Your Bets!

A wild and crazy Week #7 has me going 3-3 with picks. Lets review.

Wednesday was full of upsets as every pick I made was wrong. Plaza beats Bearings in a close one. 2 goals by Sedrel and 3 assists by Patava sealed Bearings fate as my first pick was wrong.

In game #2 Alien Mike decided they were going to take the night off. My prediction made Mike the favorite by 3 and they end up losing by 6. I think they may have felt pity on the Irwins team and allowed them to get their first win. Goodman led his team with 4 points like a true captain should and Madson added 2 goals. Great job Perry getting the lone goal for Alien Mike.

Game #3 was another close one. I had Alien Joe winning by 1, but the score was reversed and Legends wins by 1. Alien Joe was ready to pull goalie Barker after a poor performance, but we realized we had no back up. Lenhard earns 3 points for Legends while Bishop, Topliff and Van Patten earn points for Alien Joe.

Redemption happened on Sunday as I go 3-0 with these picks.
I had Don's Auto winning by 7. Final score was Don's 10, other guys 4. I asked Don's Auto Team Captain about why they didn't cover the spread. "We had opportunities to score that last one, but didn't want to run up the score."

Waste Management loses 8-1 to Coca Cola/Yankee Doodle Dandy . Although I had this game closer, a win is a win. Wehrenberg gets 4 points in this victory for Coke while Hutton is lone scorer for WM.

A 6-3 Cup 'O Kryptonite win over 11 to 7 Insurance finishes off my perfect streak on Sunday. Grahm scores a goal for both teams (don't ask its complicated). Newcomer Richter lights it up with 2 goals & 2 assists as well for Kryptonite.

This week's picks
Wednesday C League
Bearings & Legends square off in the opener. With Legends coming off a close win and Bearings coming in after a close loss, this will be the EVEN game of the week. No points given here as I predict Bearings wins this one in a game that may see OT.

Alien Joe squares off against Irwins. After a big win for Irwins last week, Alien Joe will make them realize that they still are a last place team. "The cellar is where they belong" stated Topliff, "and we're gonna send them there." Big words Shawn, hope you step up. Final score: Alien Joe 5, Irwins 1.

Plaza matches up against Alien Mike in the Wednesday finale. New addition to the ranks, Katie Patterson will join Alien Mike tonight for her debut. This, however will not be enough to stop the onslaught by Plaza. Plaza wins this one by 3.

Sunday C league
In what could be the biggest thrashing of the season, Coca Cola/ YDD puts on an offensive clinic in this one and blows it wide open in the first period. Team 4 does not get a win tonight as they lose by 12. Donuts (and coca cola) for everyone.

Don's Auto faces Waste Management in the Sunday night. This is my ULTRA-SUPER LOCK, TRIPLE A, SUPREME PICK of the Week. Waste Management brings the heat for this one and gets the upset win over the over cocky and confident team of Don's. I hope Don's Auto has a wrecker waiting after the game to pick up the pieces of there broken down team. WM by 2 in this one.


Sunday D League
11 to 7 Insurance faces Alien Hockey. 11 to 7 is not happy with their performance last week and will let Alien Hockey know about it. This one goes in the books as 11 to 7 winning by 3.

To Recap:
Favorite Spread Underdog

Bearings EVEN Legends
Alien Joe +4 Irwins
Plaza +3 Alien Mike
Coke/YDD +12 Team 4
Waste Management +2 Don's
11 to 7 +2 Alien Hockey

Good luck and you bet the house on these!
