Chicago (-6.5) vs. Grand Rapids

This game has one of the AFL's elite teams, Chicago, coming off a very tough loss to Philly, taking on a rebuilding team in Grand Rapids. It's really hard to go against Chicago here and I'm not going to. Grand Rapids was able to hang tough for most of the game last week against Arena Bowl champs San Jose, but couldn't seal the deal and ended up losing by 8. Chicago is a favorite to make it to the Arena Bowl this year and to do that, they have to blow out teams like Grand Rapids

PICK - Chicago  

Utah vs. Orlando (-4)

Here we have a battle of a couple of 0-2 teams in Utah and Orlando. Both teams have good quarterbacks who know how to put up points and both have defenses that have been playing like complete shit. Take a look at the stats - 

week 1 - Utah 62  Arizona 63 - total points 125

week 2 - Utah 63  Cleveland 66 - total points 129

week 1 - Orlando 56 Philly 77 - total points 133

week 2 - Orlando 53 New Orleans 54 - total points 107

Utah has come right down to the wire in both losses and I think they are ready to break through this week, I'm leaning towards the over but 120 points is a really high number to reach, even in the Arena league so I'm just going to make one play here

PICK - Utah

The pick I feel strongest about today would be Chicago.

Good Luck and enjoy the games

Like'em both.  GL to you!

Final Score 

Chicago(-6.5) - 64  Grand Rapids - 35

Chicago did exactly what they were supposed to do by beating a lesser team, what's really impressive is that they did it with their backup quarterback playing the entire game and never really let Grand Rapids get into it, Chicago jumped out early to a two touchdown lead and never looked back

Final Score

Utah - 61  Orlando(-4) - 69

Son of a Bitch! This one came right down to the wire, these two teams were trading scores throughout the entire game. Utah had the ball on the Orlando 20 with 27 seconds left but Joe Germaine just couldn't punch it in, throwing two incompletions to end the game. I was looking at the over in this game all day but didn't have the balls to play it, so of course, the over hit. Oh well, we've got three more days of Arena ball ahead of us, I'll be posting tomorrow early afternoon after I get the lines for tomorrow's games - Good Luck and take care everybody
