Picks Review: Week 2

What a weekend for the SNFL! Three games decided by one kick by Garrett Hartley (Games 1, 2, 4). Mr. Hartley was very kind to me; his kick putting my record at 4-1 rather than the possible 1-4. Here is a review of what I picked and what happened.

Game 1: Core Protection vs. The DAWGS

I knew this game would be close but I was not expecting it to be the low scoring spectacle that it was. Both teams would have lost to any other SNFL team this week with the exception of themadoompaloompas. This opens the door to questions about either teams legitimacy as a real PWC Bowl contender. Legitimate or not, Core Protection came off with the 5 point victory over The DAWGS and are now 2-0.

Pick: Correct

Margin of Victory: Right on

Game 2: Team Canuckistan vs. Las Tortugas Negras

Wow. Just wow. Midday Sunday this game was as good as done. Las Tortugas Negras had a commanding 25 point lead over Team Canuckistan and still had Drew Brees left to play. However, Team Canuckistan fought back with a tremendous 55 point swing to put him ahead of Las Tortugas by 30. It was Las Tortugas playing a game of catchup on Monday, but once again he just could not catch his opponent. It was a close game indeed, with Team Canuckistan winning by 3 against Las Tortugas Negras.

Pick: Correct

Margin of Victory: Right on

Game 3: themadoompaloompas vs. The Champ of 2009

Arguably the most one-sided game of the weekend, The Champ of 2009 came in and took the lead early and didn't look back from there. Did themadoompaloompas have a good showing last week or are they for real? It will take more games to figure this one out. In the end The Champ of 2009 handed themadoompaloompas a loss by 23 points.

Pick: Correct

Margin of Victory: 7 under

Game 4: The Mud Eaters vs. The Carnegie FudgePackers

What a twist to end this game. The FudgePackers' kicker, Garrett Hartley was kicking the game winning field goal but it was The Mud Eaters who wanted the kick to be good and the FudgePackers who were hoping it would be missed and put into overtime. The Mud Eaters prove that their team is more than just Arian Foster, putting up an impressive 111.05 points this past weekend.

Pick: Correct

Margin of Victory: 8.5 over

Game 5: The Elevolutionaries vs. Red Tiger

There had to be one I didn't get right. This game was the Sunday night thriller with Red Tiger ahead by .5 going into both teams' final game. Both teams had one WR in the last game, but only one would lead their team in victory. In the end Red Tiger rolled with Reggie Wayne posting 15.6 points to put Red Tiger comfortably in the lead. The Elevolutionaries are now 0-2 but they proved that last week's all time lowest scoring game (52.70 points) was just a fluke by posting a 99.50 point performance this week.

Pick: Incorrect

Margin of Victory: 33 under

Overall Record: 4-1

Average Difference in Margin of Victory: 9.7

See you Friday for my week 3 picks!
