2017 NLL Week 5 Rankings

Looking forward to going to the game in Toronto. I figure last week may have been the last of the weak spreads for these games. I'm looking more forward than back this time as three of the four games have significant value in some form. Georgia is still the team to beat and now have to show that they are a playoff caliber team.

Power Rankings:

1. The Arlottas may have finally done something right; now can they be more than one-and-done? (1)
2. This team is starting to heat up, and that's bad news for everyone else. (2)
3. Not missing Poulin after all; But we all knew one of them was bound to go sooner rather than later. (6)
4. Buffalo is a must win, especially with Bandits struggles; have played well without Hickey so far. (3)
5. Needed to at least split the home-and-home; they;ll be chasing for a little bit. (4)
6. The monkey's off their back, but beware another result like the one at BCA. (6)
7. Starting to become large and in-charge now that the have healthy vets back. (8)
8. Still too much goal trading by giving leads back, probably will be their theme of the season (transition). (5)
9. To think there might be hope, well... there still is... sort of. (9)
