Picks

So I'll be doing a picks article every Friday. Basically I'll analyze each matchup, pick the winner and pick the margin they win by. I will also pick who the biggest margin of victory is and the smallest margin of victory, as well as which game I think will be Game of the Week. So let's get started.

Game of the Week: Core Protection vs. The DAWGS
Both teams are coming off a fresh win and are ranked 3 and 2 respectively. Core Protection is a rookie in the league looking to prove himself with a big win over the veteran DAWGS. This game has the potential to be extremely close due to the strengths and weaknesses of each team. In the end however, I do not think that The DAWGS roster (even with Michael Vick) can power through Core Protection's strong RB's (Jones-Drew and Charles) and WR's (White, Welker, Fitzgerald).
Pick: Core Protection by 5

Game 2: Team Canuckistan vs. Las Tortugas Negras
Las Tortugas Negras looks to Team Canuckistan to avenge the heartbreaker game he lost to Red Tiger and prove that he has more weight in the Sick Conference than his record shows. With two top quarterbacks facing off this game looks like it will be quite the highscorer. This game really could go either way, but in the end Las Tortugas Negras is going to be heartbroken for the second week in a row.
Pick: Team Canuckistan by 3 (Smallest margin of victory)

Game 3: themadoompaloompas vs. The Champ of 2009
The madoompaloompas have certainly turned around what was left of The Silly Nannies, as seen by their score of 94.10 points last week. Meanwhile The Champ of 2009 has been wondering "what if?" after losing in the final 5 minutes of the final game on Monday. Both teams look to win their first game but only one can. That team will be the Champ of 2009. His team just looks stronger in every area right now. themadoompaloopmas have real potential, it just might be a few games until we start to see it.
Pick: The Champ of 2009 by 15

Game 4: The Mud Eaters vs. The Carnegie FudgePackers
Will Arian Foster carry the Mud Eaters again this week? If he doesn't have a 42 point game can they still win?  We will get the answers to these questions in the Mud Eaters matchup against an underrated Carnegie FudgePackers team. The strongest loser would have beaten The Mud Eaters had they played each other last week. This week will be completely different though because Aaron Rodgers is playing the Bills.
Pick: The Mud Eaters by 10

Game 5: Red Tiger vs. The Elevolutionaries
Could The Elevolutionaires have been more unlucky last week. Touted as the 4th ranked team in the SNFL preseason polls, they got obliterated last week setting a new lowest single game score record of 52.70. Meanwhile Red Tiger just barely got off the win in the closest game in SNFL history. The Elevolutionaries look to snap their bad luck this week and get their first win, and I think it is going to happen.
Pick: The Elevolutionaries by 20 (Largest margin of victory)
