Comments:
This will be a pretty awesome game in my opinion. Yellowknife has less than a thousand TPE advantage and Colorado is sporting the home field advantage. Colorado came up pretty big in Week 2, only allowing Berlin to score a total of three points. If they can work that defensive magic again, they might be able to pull one over on the Wraiths. Yellowknife also won last week and faced a pretty competitive Sarasota team, who kept the game within one score. I’m going to have to go with the math on this one and pick Yellowknife, but again, I won’t be very surprised if Colorado is able to pull off an upset.

Comments:
This may be one of the most one sided games ever. I thought Chicago at Philadelphia was going to be a slaughter, but it turned out to actually only be a one score game. Chicago has the home field advantage, the highest TPE of any team, and Baltimore is still winless. This exact matchup was actually one of the preseason games. I know teams usually run bologna strats in preseason, but in that game Chicago was able to put 51 points on the board. I wonder if anyone actually bet on the +3000 odds for Baltimore to win the Ultimus. Anyways yeah anyone who picked BAL to win this week is openly leaving 0.5 TPE on the table.

Comments:
For having one of the lower TPE rosters in the league this season, Philadelphia isn’t doing bad with their 1-1 record so far. I actually just noticed this but somehow Philadelphia was able to beat Chicago in a preseason game. Which is just wild to me. So maybe Pat and Cody know what they’re doing? Or maybe their just lucky guessers. Sarasota has a huge advantage in TPE and also plays at home, so I’m going to have to pick them again, but in my heart I really want Philly to win.

Comments:
So last week I brought up the possibility that Arizona was cursed. After watching Austin beat them by a single point, I think it might be true. Sorry homies. Arizona has a pretty sizable TPE advantage and plays in Berlin against a team that was only able to put three points on the board last week. I would imagine the Berlin war room angrily sim tested all weekend to iron out their strategy. Sure, maybe the exact same thing could happen again this week, but I don’t know. Arizona is cursed! I picked Berlin this week as an upset.

Comments:
New York is on FIRE right now! With their amazing win over the Otters last week, their team is running high on hype. They are currently sitting at the top of their division as one of only three remaining undefeated teams. Can they keep working the magic? Can they continue to prove that they are the ultimate expansion team? I sure as hell put money on them to win it all this year! Hopefully I don’t jinx it, but with an almost even matchup against Austin this week New York certainly has a decent shot. I ended up making the homer pick again this week.

Comments:
This game is sporting the Week 2 closest TPE matchup. Even though they appear close, they certainly aren’t when it comes to current standings. San Jose is one of the three undefeated teams (along with Chicago and New York) while New Orleans has managed to be winless so far. San Jose also owns the home field advantage this week. I feel pretty confident that San Jose can continue their hot streak.

Comments:
I usually stan pretty hard for Orange County, while typically sleeping on Honolulu. Orange County dropped one last week against the Silverbacks while Honolulu were able to come up big in a win over New Orleans. With both teams currently sitting at one win and one loss, the Otters are sporting a sizeable TPE advantage. Naturally I picked Orange County to win but at this point I’m not sure if I’m just being biased. Honolulu does have the home field, so who knows. Maybe they will prove me wrong once again and cost me more prediction TPE. I kind of doubt it though.
