WEEK 5

KICKED OFF LAST NIGHT AS THE RUSH DEFEATED THE RATTLERS AT ALLSTATE ARENA. THOUGH I DIDN'T POST MY PICK WAS THE RUSH. TODAY HAS A GOOD SLATE OF GAMES AND HERE THEY ARE:

TAM OVER PHI: TAMPA IS STRONGER.
KC OVER SJ: PROVE ME WRONG KC THAT ALLOWING 92 POINTS WAS A FLUKE.
CLB OVER ORL: I AM GOING TO THE GAME TO SEE IT IN PERSON.
UTAH OVER GEO: UTAH WILL NOT GO 0-5.
GR OVER LA: GR WILL GET A WARM WELCOME AFTER SCORING 92 POINTS.
DAL OVER NY: DRAGONS WILL KEEP IT CLOSE.
NO OVER COL: VOODOO MIGHT HAVE FOUND THEIR QB.

WEEK 4 IN REVIEW

WEEK 4 BROUGHT MANY SURPRISES. THE GLADIATORS TOOK THEIR BYE WEEK A LITTLE TOO SOON AND GOT POUNCED ON BY THE VOODOO 63-24. JUST WHEN C-BUS LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE HEADED TO AN 0-4 START, THEY TURNED THINGS AROUND AND WON ON A GAME WINNING FIELD GOAL WITH 1 SECOND LEFT. THESE GUYS WERE DOWN 35-20 AT HALF. AFTER SOME ADJUSTMENTS, C-BUS LOOKED LIKE THE TEAM OF OLD. GOOD JOB. LAST NIGHT WAS NOT A NIGHT TO BE AFFILIATED WITH THE KC BRIGADE. THEY ALLOWED 92 POINTS TO GRAND RAPIDS AND ONLY SCORED 52. LASTLY, I WENT 4-4 IN MY PICKS. WEEK 5 PREVIEW COMING.

WEEK 4 PICKS CONTINUED

FIRST OFF LA WENT 1-1 ON THEIR ROAD TRIP AND NOT 0-2. HOWEVER THEY DID GET BLOWN OUT LAST NIGHT BY PHILADELPHIA 71-34. HERE ARE THE REST OF MY PICKS:

ARI OVER NY: WHAT TEAM IS WORSE?
CLB OVER UTAH: C-BUS PICKS UP FIRST WIN.
CLE OVER NO: GLADS KEEP ON ROLLING.
ORL OVER GEO: PRED ARE HEATING UP.
CHI OVER COL: CRUSH ARE NOT THE SAME WITHOUT HARRELL.
SJ OVER DAL: SJ IS TOUGH TO BEAT AT HOME.
KC OVER GRR: RAMPAGE NOT VERY GOOD ON THE ROAD.

WEEK 4 BEGINS TONIGHT

WHEN THE PHILADELPHIA SOUL TRAVEL TO LA TO TAKE ON THE AVENGERS. SHOULD BE A GOOD ONE. I THINK THAT LA WILL COME BACK STRONG AFTER GOING 0-2 ON THEIR ROAD TRIP. THEREFORE I AM TAKING THE AVENGERS TO HAND PHILADELPHIA THEIR FIRST LOSS OF THE SEASON. MORE EXPERT PICKS TOMORROW.

GO GLADS GO

AFTER THREE WEEK THE GLADS ARE 3-0 AND TIED FOR FIRST WITH DALLAS AND PHILADELPHIA IN THE EASTERN DIVISION. AFTER BEATING COLUMBUS 59057 ON SATURDAY NIGHT, THE GLADS MOVE ON TO PLAY THE NEW ORLEANS VOODOO FRIDAY AT 8:30. MEANWHILE C-BUS WILL TRY TO WIN THEIR FIRST GAME AS THEY TRAVEL TO UTAH TO TAKE ON THE BLAZE. I ALSO WENT JUST 3-5 FOR THE SECOND STRAIGHT WEEK IN MY PICKS.

WEEK 3 CONTINUED

HERE ARE THE REST OF MY PICKS:

LA OVER GEO: SONNY IS ON FIRE.

CLB OVER CLE: I HATE TO PICK THIS BUT I AM A FAN OF BOTH TEAMS. SHOULD CLEVELAND NOT HAVE ANY TROUBLE SCORING FROM INSIDE THE 5 THEY WILL BE FINE. THEY HAVE STRUGGLED THE FIRST TWO WEEKS. TEAMS HAVE GIVEN THEM EXTRA CHANCES, COLUMBUS WON'T.

ARI OVER SJ: RATTLERS PLAY HOME OPENER SPOILERS.

PHI OVER NY: DRAGONS COME BACK DOWN TO EARTH.

TAM OVER NO: TAMPA HAS THEIR QB.

COL OVER DAL: CRUSH FLUSH THE DESPO'S IN THIS ONE...CLINT IS STILL CRYING.

WEEK 3 IS A WILD ONE

SO FAR THE PREDATORS SENT THE BLAZE TO 0-3 AND THE RAMPAGE GOT FLUSHED BY THE RUSH. THE PREDS AND RUSH ARE THE 2 TEAMS I PICKED THIS WEEK IN MY PICKS THAT I HAVEN'T POSTED YET. LOOK FOR THEM TOMORROW MORNING.

GLADS 2-0

THE CLEVELAND GLADIATORS ARE 2-0 THANKS TO SOME FANTASTIC ALL-AROUND PLAY. THE GLADS HAD TO MAKE THINGS INTERESTING FOR THEMSELVES(AS EVERY CLEVELAND TEAM DOES) ALMOST LETTING GO OF A 10 POINT LEAD. WITH 29.4 SECONDS LEFT YOU WOULD FIGURE, YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO RUN OUT THE CLOCK BUT THAT WASN'T THE CASE. REGARDLESS THEY ARE 2-0 AND MATCH LEAST YEARS WIN TOTAL. 66-63 IS A HECK OF A GAME IN ANY ONE'S MIND. GO GLADS SEE YOU IN C-BUS ON SATURDAY.

WEEK 2 PICKS

WEEK 2 OF THE AFL SEASON IS HERE AND HERE ARE MY PICKS:

TAM OVER GEO: GEO HAD A CHANCE TO MAKE THEIR STATEMENT LAST WEEK AND DIDN'T DO IT. WILL THEY DO IT THIS WEEK?

CLB OVER DAL: THOUGH THIS GAME BE BE CLOSER THAN EXPECTED WITH CLINT OUT, C-BUS STILL HAS THE MOMENTUM EVER SINCE LAST YEARS PLAYOFF WIN.

KC OVER NY: NY CAN'T USE GROCE RIGHT, WHAT MAKES ME THINK THEY CAN WIN.

NO OVER ORL: ORL IS IN SHAMBLES.

CHI OVER PHI: TWO PRIME TIME TEAMS ALWAYS ON BUT THEY WON'T DISAPPOINT.

CLE OVER UTAH: WEEK 1 WAS THE RUMBLE AT THE Q. WEEK 2 WILL BRING THE "WAR AT THE Q". IT'S GOING TO BE FUN TO WATCH.

GRR OVER SJ: SAN JOSE MAY HAVE THE SAME PLAYERS BUT NOT THE SAME FOCUS.

ARI OVER LA: SONNIE CUMBIE MUST PLAY CLEAN FOR LA TO WIN BUT I DON'T THINK THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

GLADS LOOK TO IMPROVE

TO 2-0 ON THE YEAR WHEN THEY FACE THE UTAH BLAZE THIS SUNDAY AT THE Q. GO GLADS GO. THEY ARE A 2 POINT FAVORITE. ALSO IF ANYONE NOTICED I WENT 4-4 IN MY PICKS LAST WEEK. I HOPE TO DO BETTER THIS WEEK.

MORE EXPERT PICKS

HERE THEY ARE:
SAT:
GEO OVER DAL: I DON'T LIKE EITHER ONE OF THESE TEAMS BUT TODAY I'M A GEORGIA FAN.
ORL OVER PHI: I DON'T HAVE MUCH BROTHERLY LOVE FOR PHILLY.
