No comment on going 1-5 last week. Every season has its upset week, so I'm calling week #8 my "trash can" week and throwing those picks away.
Its time for redemption and time to go 6-0 to show everyone I can analyze with the best of them.
Legends Vs. Plaza
This has got to be better than the Colts / Patriots match up. You've got 2 teams looking to come out as champs in the CLW division (C League Wednesday). This should be a tight game with the lead changing several times. Since my prediction is Colts over Patriots, I have to go with Plaza on this one as Plaza Printer starts with "P" and so does Peyton Manning.
Mike Vs. Joe
After the first match up goes to a shoot out, this one will not. Alien Joe will be missing some key players. Topliff is in Florida on a try-out for the Orlando Express Men's B League team, Van Patten is rehabbing a shattered spine but should be back next week & Mertz is out indifinitely as his agent is asking for more money. Although the fire power of the Dylo Bros., and Kielty Bros. will be strong, they will all be calling for their moms as they lose this one.
Bearings Vs. Irwins
Irwins coming off back to back wins and Bearings off back to back losses makes this game an obviously easy pick. Obvious how you ask? The number 3 is the answer. The game is played on Oct. 31st which has a 3 in it. Irwins has 3 ladies playing. This is the 3rd game of the night and Wednesday is the 3rd day of the business week. Therefore Irwins wins their 3rd in a row and Bearings loses their 3rd.
Sunday
Dons VS Coke/YDD
Going back to the Colts / Patriots comparison, this game will be a good one. Since neither team's name starts with a "P" as in Peyton, we have to dig deeper to get this one right. Coca Cola/Yankee Doodle Dandy wins this one for one big reason. The Indianapolis Colts were originally named the "Indianapolis Cokes". Due to legal issues that were unresolvable, they changed their name. Coke wins this one.
Team 4 Vs. Waste Management
As tempting as it is to take this upset, and finally pick Team 4 to win, not gonna happen. WM also stands for "Win More"..so we're going to pick them to edge out a win and keep Team 4 hungry for the elusive first win.
Cup O Kryptonite Vs. Alien Hockey
This week has Alien losing to the up & coming super power of Kryptonite. Alien will show signs of strength early on, but will not keep up with Johnson's crew of scoring maniacs. Goaltending may be a factor here, but Bailey will eat too much at the Machine Shed and be sluggish all game.
To Recap
Favorite Spread Underdog
Plaza 1 Legends
Joe 2 Mike
Irwins 3 Bearings
Coke/YDD 3 Dons
WM 4 Team 4
Kryptonite 3 Alien
Get ready for 6-0.

Joe, you might want to update your spread on the Coke/Ydd vs Dons game. 2/3rds of the Coke/Ydd dominant trio at center position will be absent this week leaving zak and myself to fill some big shoes.
Coke/Ydd 1.5 Dons
I have been asked to help fill that role, so I will insure that spread stays the same.
Nice game on Sunday Joe. You scored 3 times from the point on wrist shots, but you still didn't cover the spread. I guess you'll need that dominant trio after all.
Keep picking Dons to get beat, maybe you'll get it right one of these weeks. I wouldn't bet the shop though.
