Week 3 Picks

Last Week: 6-3
Overall: 10-6 (.625)

Spokane Shock at Iowa Barnstormers: SPOKANE. Spokane finally catches a break here. Going up against two of the best teams in the league is a hard way to start the season for any team. It obviously is even harder on the defending champs. Expect them to finally settle into a groove against a lesser Iowa team.

San Jose SaberCats at Chicago Rush: CHICAGO. This is a toss up. Last week Chicago looked outstanding in a blowout rout of the Soul. The SaberCats were less than impressive in their matchup against the Command. In any toss up, the nod has to be given to the home team.

New Orleans VooDoo at Jacksonville Sharks: JACKSONVILLE. Jacksonville has been a little underachieving this season, but the come up against a struggling VooDoo team. The VooDoo may need a win bad, but the Sharks should be able to take care of things.

Utah Blaze at Orlando Predators: UTAH. Another marquee matchup for Week 3. The Blaze were amazing in their opener last week. Meanwhile the Predators struggled at times to put away a lesser VooDoo team. Utah, as long as Grady plays smart, should pull away with a win.

Cleveland Gladiators at Tampa Bay Storm: CLEVELAND. Losing Dutton for the season hurts, but they come up against a Storm team that has trouble scoring in the air. Cleveland gave the defending champions fits, and that should continue this week.

Arizona Rattlers at Tulsa Talons: ARIZONA. Odie Armstrong returns to the BOK Center in an unfamiliar color. He comes backed with one of the best offensive teams in the league. The Talons have the hardest home opener matchups of any team in the league. The Talons should struggle and fall short, but prove me wrong.

Pittsburgh Power at Milwaukee Mustangs: PITTSBURGH. The Mustangs have struggled with QB play this season. Pittsburgh shouldn't make that any easier either. The Power should control the game and allow their offense to pull away with the win.
