Written option (Complete 1):
- We're now a quarter of the way through the season and the league is abuzz with with both surprises and disappointments through the first four games. Which team do you think is currently overachieving and which team do you think still has a chance to bounce back as the season progresses and why?
So as always at this point, some people's season long predictions are completely ruined and others are looking like smart cookies. Anyone with Arizona and Sarasota winning their conferences are looking pretty good as of right now. I don't think Arizona is a surprise at all after last regular season record, if anything I would be surprised if they weren't at or right below the top. As for Sarasota, I could see picking them to win it, but also could see them falling somewhere in the middle of the pack by the end of the season. Both teams are relying on top tier scoring efforts.
The two teams sitting in second in each conference are a bit of a surprise to me, neither team was great last season, but have come out to a strong start. Jan Jose and Colorado, the real question will be can they continue on their path and make the playoffs? Both teams have similar points scored to points allowed, having both scored less points than they have allowed.
The next two teams are two different teams as far as predictions went. I think everyone expected the Berlin Fire Salamanders to do well again after almost making it to the big game last season. They are currently tied for second and they have a really good points for versus against, so they seem poised to make a run. The Orange County Otters though, I did not have them listed as a playoff contender this season, but so far they are managing to sir squarely in the hunt. They haven't allowed very many points, but they also don't score very many....
As for the two biggest busts so far, Austin and Chicago, both are fighting for the worst record on the season.
