Picks Review: Week 3

Dear god. The SNFL is collapsing as we know it. Everything is going to hell and there is no clear order. After this week we have learned that there is no dominant team (or at least not one I am willing to admit), and that all the teams might be, dare I say, balanced? I don't know but my job as picker has just gotten a lot harder. Fuck.

Game 1: Core Protection vs. Red Tiger

Is Core Protection in serious trouble or is the whole SNFL? Going into week 3 Core Protection was highly touted for their defense, holding The DAWGS to a season low and the Elevolutionaries to the lowest score of all time. However after Red Tiger's 116-82.80 thrashing of Core Protection the important question must be raised: If Red Tiger can put up 116 points against Core Protection's defense then what could Red Tiger have done against any other team in the league? Scary, I know. We'll just have to see what happens.

Pick: Incorrect

Margin of Victory: 38.2 points

Game 2: Team Canuckistan vs. The Elevolutionaries

This one was a sure win. #1 vs. #10 should never be any contest. Ever. But Team Canuckistan just fucked away an easy win to The Elevolutionaries. The team that scored the lowest score of all time in week 1. Or maybe The Elevolutionaries are good. Actually that's probably it. Either way I'll think twice before counting out The Elevolutionaries next time.

Pick: Incorrect

Margin of Victory: 25.82 points

Game 3: themadoompaloompas vs. The Carnegie PantyRaiders

Thank god, Carnegie PantyRaiders. Thank god. I thought I was going to go 1-4 in picks but I knew that whoever was playing themadoompaloompas could get the win. It was still a little close but The Carnegie PantyRaiders finally got a well deserved win and themadoompaloompas sank down to 0-3.

Pick: Correct

Margin of Victory: 14.65 points

Game 4: The DAWGS vs. The Mud Eaters

Ironically, the upset I picked was the only other correct pick I chose. This should tell you about the Nasty Conference. Seen before as The Mud Eaters playground, The DAWGS have proven that they are a legitimate threat at getting that first round bye. Looks like the Texans offense can only do so much.

Pick: Correct

Margin of Victory: 1.2 points

Game 5: The Champ of 2009 vs. Las Tortugas Negras

Way to go Las Tortugas Negras. Way to fucking go. So much for Sick Conference dominance. You went and lost your interleague game snapping the undefeated streak of the Sick Conference. Now questions have been called in about the Sick Conference's superiority and whether Las Tortugas Negras can win at all if they can't beat a team with FIVE DEFENSES.

Pick: Incorrect

Margin of Victory: 23.1 points

God damn it this is embarassing:

Overall Record: 6-4 (.600)

Average Margin of Victory: 15.15 points

See you next week.
