Actually, looking at predicition points, it's DC. In week 1, two people got the KC draw on the dot, so while more people predicted WNY to win, the KC match earned 8pts while the DC match earned just 6pts. By W/D/L results, it's KC, but by points it's DC.
My weekend prediction: Washington 1, Chicago 2 Kansas City 0, Portland 1 SkyBlue 1, Boston 1 Houston 1, Seattle 1
Here goes: Chicago 2-0 Spirit Kansas 3-2 Portland SkyBlue 1-2 Boston Houston 0-3 Seattle with the game of the week going to KC-Portland!
Here are the rest of my picks for this week. I predicted the right winner last evening, but had the Reign winning 2 - 1. Perhaps I'll do better with these. Spirit 1 @ 1 Red Stars Kansas City 1 @ 2 Thorns Sky Blue 2 @ 1 Breakers Dash 1 @ 3 Reign
The rest of my picks: Spirit 1 - 2 Red Stars Kansas City 1 - 1 Thorns Sky Blue 2 - 1 Breakers Dash 0 - 3 Reign
I saw the trend with the Seattle & DC picks and tried to go against the grain with a DC win. High Risk High Reward early in the season for me to try and catch up after a big fat 0 first week. Now I'm in a big hole.
--Spirit 1-2 Red Stars, Saturday 8pmET --Kansas City 0-1 Thorns, Saturday 10pmET --Sky Blue 1-1 Breakers, Sunday 7pmET --Dash 2-3 Reign, Sunday 7pmET
--Spirit 1-1 Red Stars, Saturday 8pmET --Kansas City 2-1 Thorns, Saturday 10pmET --Sky Blue 1-1 Breakers, Sunday 7pmET --Dash 1-3 Reign, Sunday 7pmET
--Spirit 0 @ Red Stars 1 : Spirit is tired, Red Stars are rested, not to mention Stars are a bit better anyway, but the difference isn't enough for a multi-goal game --Kansas City 0 @ Thorns 1 : Thorns grind out another result, though this could easily be a draw as well. --Sky Blue 1 @ Breakers 0 : This one was tough - will Boston lose again or will Sky Blue draw again? Giving the slight edge to Sky Blue --Dash 0 @ Reign 1 : I think Houston's is the first back line that gives Seattle trouble as two high-pace sides run against each other. Reign still has more firepower. You have no idea how glad I'd be to be wrong, though! Yeah, all one-goal games.... No offense has really 'wow'ed me yet aside from Seattle's, and as I said, I think they hit their first real challenge this week.
Well, I misspoke last time. As of that previous post, CHI had only earned us 4pts from 19 predictions. And now, when almost everyone predicted CHI to win, (in fact, the exact same spread - seven dissenters, five of which were draws,) we only earned another 4pts from another 19 predictions. CHI is killing everyone....
Well, I correctly predicted the amount of goals that two teams would score... unfortunately it was in different games and I was dead wrong about the amount of goals their opposition would score.
...and now I just realized that I somehow have the most points this week so far. The two people who earned points from CHI 0-1 DC only got 2pts there and 1pt from SEA 3-1 DC, while I'm the only person who got SEA 3-1 DC and picked up a point from the POR-KC game... Everyone please check you predictions and find if I missed something.
Alright! Time for the full report. In the two Seattle games this week, we as a group earned 61 pts. In the other three, we earned a whopping 20 pts. X-D This week's results: 8pts - @ForeverLOST108 , @WPS_Movement 6pts - @SiberianThunderT 5pts - BlueCrimson, FCKCEvans, holden, JuniorCoach, Tokonta 4pts - amerinorsk59, mamalia, WNYChelseaFan 3pts - Andere, Blaze20, CoachJon, ERIMUS, fire123, liesse00 2pts - babranski, StarCityFan opts - one silly guy named @weelilbit who didn't make predictions this week! Full standings: 16pts - @WPS_Movement 14pts - @ForeverLOST108 , @Tokonta 11pts - ERIMUS, FCKCEvans, fire123, holden 10pts - amerinorsk59, StarCityFan 9pts - CoachJon, SiberianThunderT 7pts - Andere, BlueCrimson 6pts - Blaze20, mamalia 5pts - JuniorCoach, liesse00 4pts - babranski, WNYChelseaFan 1pt -- weelibit It's very cluttered near 10pts, but it seems like we have three leaders starting to pull away - for now! Here are some interesting numbers from last year: Code: At season end: 99 96 88 87 81 77 72 71 69 63 After Week 3 : 11 09 03 06 04 10 06 14 07 06 Each column represents the points a person had at those two points last year. Lost of mixing to still happen! Also, those two winners? They both got 21pts in the last three weeks of the regular season, which really made the difference. So no-one should be too worried about their positioning at the moment. The season is still young! =-)
