Game Picks: Week 7

Stevens 49 Dawson 43
In building up their current four-game win streak, Team Dawson has been able to beat up on the weakest teams in the league (in terms of wins).They haven't beaten a team with more than 2 wins, and although we would fall under that category, I think Team Stevens can dictate an uptempo pace and pull out a much needed win.

Debreceni 71 Bailey 45
Debreceni. All morning. All afternoon. All night. Team Bailey simply doesn't play defense... at all.

Smith 52 Wright 51
Ahhhhhh what an interesting game this should be. With Team Wright coming off their first win of the season, the chemistry should be very strong. But Team Smith has played well behind Honkonen, so I'd pretty much call this one a toss-up. I haven't picked Team Smith all year so I guess I gotta break the trend at some point, I'll say they pull out a close one.

Dion 44 Hegeman 42 (OT)
The strong effort last week against top-ranked Calderan shows me a reason to believe in Team Dion. They may be without Barberich but I still think they'll build on last weeks confidence and another big game from Zach Hurst will get them their first win of the season against a very inconsistent Team Hegeman.

Fotino 61 Lavallee 49
Big Ben Icenogle should have a good game as Team Fotino has little height, but at the same time Team Lavallee has no one to cover Shane O'Malley. Team Lavallee should keep it close for the first half or so, but expect O'Malley and Denomme to put up big numbers in a victory.

Burke 38 MacLeod 33
This matchup of contrasting offensive styles should be interesting to say the least. Tynan MacLeod and his team's run-and-gun offense should keep them in the game against Team Burke, which lacks depth at the guard position. Yet Team MacLeod has very little size, something that over the period of 32 minutes, Team Burke should be able to expose and in the end come away with a relatively close victory.

Calderan ?  Jarboe ?
Didn't get this one in in time, but I was leaning towards Jarboe to be honest. ***Note that this game has been moved to MSS***
