The MilkMob (+1.5 Goals) (EVEN)
Sex Ed (-1.5 Goals) (-145)
Over 7.5 Goals (-135)
Under 7.5 Goals (-105)
Notes: The opening game of the season for both teams sees each squad missing top dmen as Caleb (along with Joe Haar) is out for Milk while Amit (along with Brett) is out for blue. This is going to necessitate some lineup shuffling but with both teams presumably rusty after several months off, anything can happen. I’m not sure what kind of drinking Hicks has been doing the past two nights to celebrate Michigan’s basketball natty but if it’s anything like the drinking I witnessed Monday night, he may be dead. Ditto Joe who apparently was on shrooms the entire draft which honestly explains a ton. It’s tough to figure out who’s going to be more brutally hungover from recent benders between the Milkman and Chad or which team is going to be in functional shape to win a hockey game tonight. I have to favor blue due to superior depth and the fact that they always receive the lions share of bets from the public but honestly this game is a bit of a stay away for me. Chad and I might die. 5-4 blue maybe?
The UMass Football Team (-230)
Bruise Control (+150)
Over 7.5 Goals (-120)
Under 7.5 Goals (-120)
Notes: UMass got off to a bit of a rough start Tuesday night as they dropped a 5-1 decision to Glazin’ Donuts in their opener but the game wasn’t really as bad as the scoreline makes it seem. Not only is Donuts projected to be one of the top teams in the league, but UMass was missing Jo Robin and Hilary and got 4-5 breakaways from Magosin that were stopped by Jeff Green. In this one, facing a purple team that is going to have to make due without Simon, I like their chances way more. Apparently purple will have Jenna and Sanchick subbing while UMass gets Horton, Cardello and LaPorte. It wouldn’t surprise me to see either of these teams win, particularly with Jack en route to his bachelor party and unable to provide the leadership his squad needs, but I have to favor UMass in this one. I’ve got Minutemen to win 5-3.
Pinky Toe (-1.0 Goals) (-170)
The Phantom Pie Pie (+1.0 Goals) (+125)
Over 8.5 Goals (-120)
Under 8.5 Goals (-120)
Notes: Classic Friday night special. No GG for pink, no Bedsy for orange. Pie Pie will have Travis subbing in goal and LaPorte subbing up front while pink rolls with no subs. It’s also APK’s last season before he takes his talents to Philly although the fact that he’s another season removed from a knee injury might be the bigger factor. At full strength I have these teams graded close to even but tonight, with pink opening their season after Fall’s surprise finals appearance and Yehuda chomping at the bit to run and score and yell, I’m giving them the overall edge in this one. Pinky Toe 6-4.
ALSO A GENERAL NOTE FOR TONIGHT:
Seeing as Facebook becomes shittier every year to the point that most of us only go on there to look for hockey shit, going to experiment with some different streams this season. In general we have a few things in the works for the video overall but tonight is the first night we will try out YouTube for the game streams. You can find them on the league’s official page under lives or via link here.
