Burn Off the Turkey---Picks

Prior to the big Feast last Thursday, I had gone 4-3 on picks before Thanksgiving. I have to share my secret with all those that count on may weekly picks. Up to this point, I have had no clue as to who would win. Surprise! I just guessed each week's winners with no rhyme or reason. Well that's about to change. I don't wait until New Years, so I have made my Thanksgiving Day resolution...starting now pick ALL games correctly.

So we start this Wednesday.

Bearings Vs. Plaza
No home field advantage to either team. Plaza has won the last 2 matches while Bearings has shown flashes of greatness, but the last several games have been up & down. The Bearings force of Mersberger, Brus & Blickley will be no match for Plaza. Don't expect much from Danielson as he's too focused on hunting season & Hoekstra used up all his goals during the Turkey Tourney. Bearings by 3

Alien Mike Vs. Irwins
With the return of Dylo from injured reserve, will Alien Mike get new life? No this time. We'll see a rusty return with slow legs & winded lungs trying to do too much. Anthan & Clutts need to step up their games, and should be full of energy after all the turkey & stuffing they ate. Goalie Brown will be the key here as he posts a near perfect game and only allows one. Perry & the Kieltys are shut down this game, while defensemen Kelley & Blomquist struggle to keep the offensive threats of Irwins at bay. Irwins in a blowout by 6.

Alien Joe Vs. Legends
Scary game. Legends holds first place in the Wednesday Division, while Alien Joe brings a 3 game winning streak (forfeit loss to Mike was still a scoreboard win). The loss of Bishop for Alien Joe will put a dent in the offense, but Fascian, Topliff & LeFleur will step up and carry the load. Legends Lenhard should come out full power, but may not be enough as a very close game goes to Alien Joe by 1.

Great games this Wednesday and stay tuned for Sunday picks.
