D10 Thursday Picks: Royals, Celtics Meet in Big Early-Season Game

YTD:  4-0 (1.000)

We didn't have to wait long to see two of the projected top D10 teams in action.

The JF Ross Royals (1-0) will host the Bishop Mac Celtics (1-0) in one of 4 D10 games on the schedule today.  With no Guelph and area teams heading to this year's Heinbuch tournament, there are no conflicts for any senior teams today.

Should be a great game between those clubs, but I'll give a slight edge to the Celts even on the road.  Bishop Mac by 6 is my pick there, but it will be interesting to see how it plays out.

As for the other games:

Orangeville (0-1) at Centre Wellington (0-1)
My Pick:  CWDHS by 11
The Falcons should pick up their first win today in the friendly confines of their home gym, provided they don't take the Bears lightly.

Lourdes (0-1) at Guelph CVI (0-1)
My Pick:  OLOL by 19
The Lourdes Crusaders should win this rivalry game by a comfortable margin, and will likely be better than several experts (myself included) initially projected.

Centennial (1-0) at St. James (1-0)
My Pick:  CCVI by 10
Look for the Spartans and reigning D10 MVP Erik Sterne to get off to a 2-0 start, but they'll have to work for this one here today.
