NLL Crystal Ball: Week 17

Well, we've reached the final week of the regular season. I went 3-2 last week, so I'm at 38-30 on the season. Over at IL Indoor the best of the experts (Jenner and Pilson) are at 35-33, so as long as I go .500 this week I'm guaranteed to finish ahead of them. As I've been saying all season - the less you know, the better. It's been an odd season for making picks. Maybe next year I'll get Lannis to work her smarties, and the Gnome to flip his coin and see how random methods stack up. This week's picks, favourites and bonus bets are after the break.

NLL Crystal Ball: Week 16

I went 2-2 last week, which brings me to 35-28 on the season. I've never really appreciated how bad some of the announcers are for lacrosse, because normally I watch several games at a time with Livestream and I have them all on mute. More on that after the break, as well as my picks and favourites to win the cup.

NLL Crystal Ball: Week 15

I went 2-2 last week. The blame lies entirely at the feet of Philadelphia. Thanks a lot, jerks! I'm now 33-26 on the season, which is one up on Jenner and Pilson and a lot up on the other Insiders. This week's matchups are interesting, and thankfully the Wings don't play so they can't screw up my prognosticating ... this week. There's the battle for second overall; actually, it's not much a battle, since Colorado only needs to win one more game on the season to ensure they finish ahead of everyone in the East. There's also a battle of cellar-dwellers between Buffalo and Edmonton; a win would give either team an advantage in the race to not miss the playoffs. My picks and favourites are after the break.

NLL Crystal Ball: Week 14

I went 4-1 last week. So I'm at 31-24 for the season. It's a pretty straightforward week for picks, which makes me nervous.
