Week 1 picks

Well I'm back for another season. Hoping to get some competition this year.

With the league going to 3 divisions it will make for a more competitive season and will be harder to pick the winners.

With that said here are my week 1 picks:

Hawks vs. Westney FC

I don't know anything about Westney FC other than they play indoor and are new to the outdoor game. With that said I'm going to have to go with the experienced Hawks defence to shut down the Westney FC offence and win the game.

Killer Beezzz vs Raiders

Rumour has it this is an all new Raiders team. Sure all the familiar faces (Al, Mark, Goddard, Shawn) are still there but they have added a lot of talent and may be the class of the B division this year. The Beezzz should also have a lot of talent on their team but it won't be enough this week. Take the Raiders to open the season with a win.

Buckeyes vs Ruff Riders

The Ruff Riders looked very impressive in the tournament as they were able to beat every team the played but unfortunately lost in the rematch against the Rogues when it counted. Give me the Ruff Riders in this one. If the Buckeyes Defence brings it's A game it might be a close one but I still like the Ruff Riders to pull it out.

Bucaneers vs Bulldogs

I've heard the Bucaneers are an amalgamation of the Hosers and The Crew from last year. There was some decent talent on those teams last year the biggest question for this team is can Rick Shea, with a year of experience under his belt, make the next step. Also were they able to find a centre in the off season because if I remember correctly both the Crew and the Hosers struggled at that position. Don't really know anything about the Bulldogs yet. So again I'll have to go with experience and take the Bucaneers in this one

Rogues vs All Blacks

A rematch of last year's final. Haven't heard too much about any major changes to either squad. So I'm going to say same teams same result. Give me the Rogues to take this one without needing an end of the game interception return for a touchdown.

Hounds vs. Lancers

I've heard the Lancers have added an experienced QB. With all the talent on that team I think this move could move them straight to the top of the B division and they may even compete with many of the A teams. The Hounds and their new QB from last year will be in tough in this one. If the Lancers take a few games to gel with their new QB the Hounds have a chance but I don't think that will be the case. Give me the Lancers to win this one.

Sun Devils vs Lancers

The Sun Devils had a tough outing at the tournament but were missing the leader of their defence. Picking a B team to win over an A would already be an upset so picking a B team that is playing their second game of a double header to beat an A team has to be the Upset of the Week. Take the Lancers to upset the Sun Devils in Week 1

Well there you have it.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts and your predictions

RE: Week 1 picks

Well all the picks look good, but being a member of the "unknown" Bulldogs, I'll have to disagree with you on that one. But we'll see once game one is in the books!
See ya'll on the field!!
