Week 3 Picks

After going 6-2 in week 2 I would like to think that my pics can be taken to the bank. The game of last week was Oxnard's amazing debut in which they put up 38 on Danville. This should be another great week of football so let's get onto the picks starting with the game of the week.

Providence (1-1) @ Vermont (1-1)

You are saying to yourself, "Self, how can he pick two 1-1 teams as the game of the week?" And I would say to you because Vermont and Providence are the 1st and 3rd highest scoring teams in the league and this one could become a shootout very quickly. Providence wants to prove that last weeks loss was a fluke and Vermont wants to hang onto their momentum after a blowout 41-16 win over D.C. Whichever team wins I expect the other one to bounce back and for these teams to meet in the playoffs.

Providence 30- Vermont 34

Ohio (1-1) @ Charleston (0-2)

This is the first game of the Ohio River Cup. Charleston has a lot of talent that has yet to realize their potential. The Ohio offense is due for a breakout game. Ohio 35-Charleston 20

Bay City (0-1) @ Danville (0-2)

One of these teams will get their first win this weekend, to be fair though the Phantoms have only had one chance. This game will be intense as neither team wants to fall too far behind this early in the season. Bay City 28-Danville 14

Kenosha (2-0) @ Oxnard (1-0)

One of these two teams will make a statement with this game. Oxnard comes in with the second highest single game point total in a game this year and Kenosha has established itself with two wins over 20,000 lake rivals. Kenosha 10-Oxnard 14

St. Paul (1-1) @ San Diego (2-0)

St. Paul hasn't been impressive yet and San Diego has been solid in their two wins. San Diego stays at the top of the conference with Oxnard. St. Paul 14-San Diego 21

Midway (1-0) @ D.C. (0-2)

Two teams in very different positions at this part of the season. Midway came off of a first week bye and set themselves up at 1-0. The Conspiracy need a win this week to start turning things around, or the playoffs will be out of reach very quickly. Midway 24-D.C. 17

Brunswick (1-1) @ Erie (1-1)

Another interesting Eastern conference matchup where teams are trying to set themselves apart from the pack. Erie sets themselves apart in this one Brunswick 10-Erie 20

Columbia (0-2) @ Opelika (1-0)

Opelika looked very strong in their one win. The thing is, Columbia hasn't been all bad. I think that this is the week they leave D.C. as the only winless team in the conference.

Columbia 27-Opelika 24
