Delayed Update...sorry.

My apologies for not getting the update sooner. There will be no recorded update this week, so here is the review & preview.

Since I was "money" for last Wednesdays picks, let's review Sunday.
I had Team 4 winning their first game by 2 over Waste Management. Although I was wrong with this pick, its not totally my fault. Who would have thought that Ulrich, Mitchell & Carlson woould step up to be heros? That was an unpredictable factor and should not go against me.
On the other hand, I was DEAD ON with my Coca Cola/YDD +4 pick. A final of 6-2 had Don's Auto losing and me winning.

For D league, another unpredicatble game had Alien Hockey win by 5. My pick was Kryptonite by +2, but Grahm and Gugat teamed up for 6 goals to pull out the upset win for Alien.

My record last week is 4-2 and which in Vegas would be pretty darn good. Now to this week's match up.

Wednesday C League
Game 1 - Plaza Printers Vs. Bearing Group.
This is a tough one. As Plaza comes off a disappointing loss to Alien Joe, they want people to know they are still the team to beat. The Bearings Group has refocused after a tough loss to Alien Joe 2 weeks ago, to beat a very solid Alien Mike team last week with no effort. I've got to go with Bearings Group this week as they are beginning to gel better as a unit.

Game 2 - Alien Mike Vs. Irwins
Wow! Irwins hangs in there with Legends last week in a game that goes to OT. Although they lost, you can see a new sparkle in their eye. New addition Brekke adds a bit more offense and now makes Irwins a contender. Alien Mike's team is inconsistent. They get destroyed by Bearings Group last week, but beat a first place Legends team. Doesn't make sense, but helps me with my prediction. I will follow the roller coaster ride and pick Alien Mike to beat Irwins.

Game 3 - Legends Vs. Alien Joe
Legends continues its winning ways by taking their record to 5-1. Confidence is setting in and Davis in net seems to not even be trying at times. Alien Joe is 3-0-1 in its last 4 games and has seemed to find the winning way. I think these teams will be fighting for the #1 & #2 spots all season, so this should be a preview to great match ups to come. Alien Joe's streak will continue as they upset the first place team.

Sunday C League
Game 1 - Team 4 vs. Don's Auto
The LOCK of the week. You can put your mortgage on this one. Don's Auto will regain is elite status and destroy Team 4. Sorry Team 4, nothing personal, as you just happen to be the team that has to play them after a disappointing loss last week.

Game 2 - Atlantic Coca-Cola / Yankee Doodle Dandy Tattoo Vs. Waste Management
Both teams coming off big wins last week give each team momentum. Coke/YDD is a consistent team that should be a force all season. Waste Management has the talent, but needs everyone to come together for each game in order to succeed. Coke/YDD's consistency will pay off this week as they defeat Waste Management.

Sunday D League
11 to 7 Insurance Vs. Cup O Kryptonite
The caffeine drinking, comic book reading players of Kryptonite will start a "rookie" goalie in net. A tough loss to Alien Hockey last week, will have Kryptonite wanting a win. 11 to 7 Insurance brings their 2-2 record to the table and hope to go over .500 this Sunday. Although a very close game, Kryponite edges out 11 to 7 Insurance.

Vegas / Des Moines Line

Favorite Spread Underdog
Bearings Group +2 Plaza Printers

I should have the rest of Sunday C & D Leagues schedules finalized this week for the remainder of the season. Thanks for being patient and good luck this week.
