Gosh darnnit, now that I'm 13-3 on these predictions, I can't help myself. Again, more gut feeling than statistics here.

San Antonio Heat @ Riverhead Blue Waves Wrong. I can't predict Riverhead's games to save my life
Two games ago I was convinced that Riverhead didn't deserve their undefeated status. Obviously, I was wrong after they took down Houston and forced me to eat some humble pie. Look for the Blue Waves to extinguish the Heat this week.

Chicago Whodats @ CPU Paper Tigers correct
Um, yeah...

Houston Cougars @ Farkistan Squirrels correct
Historically, the Squirrels have beat the Cougars in five out of their last six matchups. Farkistan seems to be in a slump losing to teams Houston's beat this season.

Mudville Bombers @ Austin Alcoholics correct
Mudville thoroughly trounced the Alkies the last time they met, I expect the same this time

Big Whiskey Assassins @ Austin Wineswilling Fancy Boys correct
Whiskey Chugging Killers versus Fancy Boys who prefer Chardoneys and Pinot Noirs? Their names alone tell you who should win. The Fancy Boy's win last week won't turn into a streak this week, unless someone at Big Whiskey is on the take.

Columbus South Caralackeys @ Lynchburg Lightning correct
This is, IMO, the game of the week. For Columbus it's a chance to move into the 8th seed position, while Lynchburg is fighting off a slump that's apparently driven by some internal turmoil. I'm going with the Lightning because as our rivals, they've historically been a tough team. However, I gotta say I was inclined not to call this game at all.

Auckland Raiders @ Inya Onya correct
Gotta give this one to Sprocket and his boys over at Auckland.

Lexington Lynx @ Gotham Crusaders incorrect
High off their defeat of their personal kryptonite Inya Onya, the Lynx should handily defeat the 0-8 Crusaders


EDIT: Well, 6 out of 8 this week. Darn you Riverhead!

as always, the opinions above are solely mine, and not necessarily indicative of my team management

Riverhead's run will come to an end on Thursday. You will lose this one.

CORRECT

I haven't been right yet where Riverhead is concerned, why should I be this week?

Good luck to you Rikkhen, it's good for both our teams if you manage to end their streak.

From me? Exactly what it's worth. $0. Dude, you're looking at my scouting report - a gut instinct call. And my gut was really wishy washy on this one - I don't know what's up with the Lightning beyond a cryptic post in another thread, only that they haven't been living up to their usual performance.

Kind of like the last four times the teams have faced eachother? Best of luck.

Lynchburg is back on track with a new HB and ready to rock again. We'll be back when it matters most.

Now now - Lexington managed to overcome the odds of their last few matchups with Inya Onya. It could happen to another team. I'm predicting the Cougars are gonna do it, San Antonio might too.

However, after Riverhead burned me two weeks in row on predictions, I had to hedge my bets and go with you guys this week. If I get this one wrong, I think I might stop predicting your games.

But not when you meet CPU in the playoffs, right? Right? Right!?!

Hey Rikkhen, I have enjoyed playing your team for quite a few seasons now. We always have great games and you make me do a lot of extra work in the film room. Good luck.

Yep, we had some internal problems that I fixed. The exact kinda stuff that makes you not want to do this anymore. BUT I cut away the bad pieces of apple and upgraded the spots they vacated. Lost some chemistry and lost time doing other stuff, but should be back in line now. But who the hell knows. We haven't beaten anyone worth a poop yet. Gonna rename to the punching bags soon.
