D8 & D10: Monday Picks

One team will get their first win in the D10 today, as play features a rescheduled game between St. James & Orangeville.  Here's a review and pick for that game, followed by the D8 picks for the regularly scheduled Monday games:

D10 YTD Picks Record:  30-1, .968
D8 YTD Picks Record:  13-0, 1.000

D10:  St. James (0-7) at Orangeville (0-7), 3:45pm
Pick:  St. James
Slight edge goes to the Lions here, even on the road.  That said, the Bears have been a bit tougher at home this year, falling to a highly regarded  Ross by only 17 in their last home outing.  I look for Erica Zen to shoot the Lions to victory here.

D8

Resurrection (3-2) at Monsignor Doyle (2-3), 5:00pm
Last Game:  RCSS, 57-38
Pick:  Resurrection
The MDCSS Mustangs have been playing well as of late (lost to St. David by only 3 last week), so the Phoenix definitely can't underestimate them here.  Whoever wins this one will likely have the inside edge in the race with St. David for "home court advantage" in the first round of the playoffs.

St. David (4-1) at Rockway (0-5)
Last Game:  SDCSS, 67-6
Pick:  St. David
I think the Celts will probably take it a bit easier on the Flames this time around, but it should still be a very comfortable victory in south Kitchener for them today.
