This weeks lines for HOCO
No interesting matchups this week as the bottom half of the division faces off with the top half. I would predict that the scores would be closer than expected as I would assume the stronger teams would give significant playing time to bench players. However, that has not been true all season (if anybody knows why I’d like to hear it). On to the match ups:
FCA v team 91. FCA -6 The division’s third best offense faces off against the division’s second worst defense. I expect plenty of scoring on the part of FCA and a lot of disappointment on the part of team 91.
Crabs v DCE. Crabs -8. My analysis for this game is the same as my analysis for DCE’s last game. In eighth grade you score what the defense let’s you score andDCE’s defense allows a lot.
ML v Hawks. Halwks -4. It what passes for this week’s most interesting matchup, perennial championship contender hawks faces off against what is probably the second best defense in the division. This game is make a break for Madlax as a loss with seals their fate and leave them out of the playoffs. Can they pull off the upset? Probably not.
Team money v NL. NL -6. After an amazing 4th come from behind the boys of NL have their confidence back.
Team Money v. ML. ML - 3. It might surprise some people that I have the game at -3 as team money is deservedly in the last place in the division. But ML has a problem scoring and I don’t see that changing this week.
I will omit this week’s final standings prediction as everyone knows what it will be.
Don’t understand your rationale that ML will lose by only 4 to Hawks, but only beat TM by 3.
FCA beats 91 by a score of 12-4, assuming their FOGO is not out with injury
Hawks beat ML 12-4. ML can’t score, and you’re giving Madlax D too much credit against prob the best team in the nation
Crabs 10, DCE 7. Another loss for DCE, but this one will be in doubt till late
NL12, Money 5. Team Money just isn’t very good, and NL boys are riding high. Apparently the theatre was high quality vs Madlax last week
Madlax 9, Money 5. Both offenses are bad. Madlax D better than Money’s Dd
