week 1 picks

Another OTFL season is upon us and it looks like the field is as tight as it's ever been. Should be a fun year to try and prognosticate.

The first week is always the toughest but let's give it the ole college try.

Maxwell:
Game 1: Rivals vs Untouchables

The Rivals in their first OTFL game against an Untouchables team that year after year has all the talent in the world and just can never seem to put it all together for a full season. The Rivals will have to show me something before I'm willing to back them and the Untouchables haven't had any time yet to start blowing up on each other so give me the Untouchables to win this one pretty easily.

Game 2: Manimals vs Thundercats

Not sure what to expect from the Thundercats this season being a brand new team. I'm sure if you are expecting me to follow the same logic as in the previous game you would expect me to pick the Manimals here. But have the Manimals really shown us anything yet either? Something to consider. Give me the Thundercats in a close one. A rare debut win for an OTFL team.

Game 3: Hawks vs Raiders

These two teams had polar opposite off seasons. While the Hawks have apparently lost arguably their best player and 3 of their best 4 or 5 players as well their QB the Raiders spent the off season adding players such as Matt Chang (Former OTFL MVP). The big question facing the Raiders is how much if anything does Rich have left in the tank. I think this one will be super close but I'll take the Raiders by less than a score.

Central

Game1: Sun Devils vs Rogues

A great game to kick off the OTFL season over at Central. The Rogues went undefeated the last two years. The Sun Devils have a great team this year and I think they will give the Rogues a run for their money but until the Rogues lose a game (or maybe even two games) I'm never going to pick against them. Give me the Rogues in the OTFL game of the Week.

Game 2: Buckeyes vs OPC

Battle for Red supremacy. It will probably end up being more of a slaughter than a battle though. I'm definitely not down on OPC this year. I think they have a great shot at winning the "B" division but the Buckeyes have already played two tournaments this year and have looked solid while doing so. They will be a force to be reckoned with and should make short work of OPC in week 1.

Game 3: Buckeyes vs Sharks

The Sharks get the benefit of taking on the Buckeyes on the tail end of a double header. But like a said earlier the Buckeyes have already played in two tournaments this year. I don't think the double header will have a huge impact on them here and definitely won't be enough of an advantage to give the Sharks the win. Give me The Buckeyes to start the season in first place at 2-0.

As usual I welcome your opinions and would love a few competitors. I mean I know it seems like an unwinnable endeavour for you but anything can happen.

JA
