YTD Picks Record: 8-1 (.889)It's here.
"It" being the first regular-season matchup between the two preseason favourites in the D8 league, the St. Mary's Eagles and the Resurrection Phoenix.
Although there isn't very much difference between the two teams on paper, they approach games in a very different way. The Eagles, for instance, have a balanced attack (although Beth Zebib has been their scoring star in the early going) whereas the Phoenix are reliant on two key players --- Celia McGlynn & Sarah Schulz, for the bulk of their offensive production.
I'll take Resurrection by 5 at home.
Here's the rest of the D8 action today:
St. Benedict (0-3) at Woodland (0-3)
My Pick: SBCSS by 13
One team gets a win here, and I'll go with St. Benedict on the road today.
Rockway (0-3) at St. David (3-0)
My Pick: SDCSS by 35
An interesting scheduling quirk has these two teams meeting for the second time already in just the 4th league game --- not that St. David minds, I'm sure, as they've avoided Rez and St. Mary's to this point. A win here will help the Celtics move (at least temporarily) ahead of one of those clubs.
