Week 3 Preview

So far, my predictions have been embarrassing. Flat out embarrassing.

Let's hope we change that around this week. And a new little curve to the weekly preview feature.

On we go.


Stats on predictions:
Last week: 1-5
Overall: 3-9
Upset special: 0-2
Mismatch: 0-2

Match of the week
Adam (2-0) vs. Hal (1-1)
Line: Adam -1.5
Info: This is quite an intriguing matchup, and one nobody would have predicted to be our featured match of the week. Can Adam keep the perfect record alive? Or will Hal move above .500 for the first time in his young career?
All-time series: N/A
Prediction: Adam 12-8

Mismatch of the week
Andy (2-0) vs. Bob (0-2)
Line: Andy -4
Info: It's the only matchup that features a two-game difference, so we have no choice but to make this the mismatch of the week.
All-time series: Tied 3-3
Prediction: Andy 10-8

Upset of the week
Shea (1-1) vs. Mike (1-1)
Line: Shea -1
Info: Both teams picked up much-needed confidence boosters last week, eking out close wins. Whomever wins this wouldn't necessarily be much of an upset, but there's not much out there this week.
All-time series: Mike 5-1
Prediction: Mike 12-7

The rest of the week
Jack (0-2) vs. Ken (0-2)
Line: Jack -2
Info: We might as well call this one the "Desperation match of the week," as whomever loses this one faces a huge hole that will be tough to crawl out of.
All-time series: Jack 4-2
Prediction: Jack 10-9

Chris (2-0) vs. Dave (1-1)
Line: Chris -3.5
Info: Chris appears to be the class of the league right now, clicking on most cylinders. If Dave can pull the upset, it'd be a huge boost.
All-time series: Chris 4-2
Prediction: Chris 13-5

Rick (1-1) vs. Joe (1-1)
Line: Pick 'em
Info: An enticing matchup and dare I call it a playoff preview? These two teams have become staples of our postseason, so what the hell?
All-time series: Tied 3-3
Prediction: Joe 11-7
