Picks:
Top Attractions:
Calgary Roughnecks (3-4) @ Saskatchewan Rush (5-2)
Time: Sat 25 FEB 2017 8:30p, SaskTel Centre
Line: Saskatchewan -2.5
The Scoop: The former Battle of Alberta is still holding true to it's shenanigans, well beyond the move from Edmonton to Saskatchewan. But the Rush are on the up and Calgary not. By far and large, this is the game of the week. I'm going to leave the game to do my talking for this one.
Outlook: Saskatchewan by 1
Best of the Rest:
Toronto Rock (5-2) @ Buffalo Bandits (2-3)
Time: Sat 25 FEB 2017 7:30p, KeyBank Center
Line: Toronto -2.5
The Scoop: The Bandits have finally picked up their second win. Toronto has not won in Buffalo since 2013 trying to buck the trend. This will be the first of two home games in six days before the second half of a home-and-home with Rochester. The Rock will want to keep pace with Georgia for top spot in the East. But a loss could start a downward spiral based on their forthcoming schedule.
Outlook: Buffalo by 1.
Rochester Knighthawks (2-6) @ Vancouver Stealth (3-5)
Time: Sat 25 FEB 2017 10p, Langley Events Centre
Line: Rochester -2.5
The Scoop: Vancouver patiently waited for it's chance to get another win since opening day. They took it. Now Rochester needed to rebound after their second crushing loss to Saskatchewan. This would be the easiest test for them to do so. If the travel doesn't bother the KHawks, this is doable, but Vancouver are rebounding after a Family Day win.
Outlook: Vancouver by 1.
Dog of the Day:
Colorado Mammoth (4-4) @ New England Black Wolves (3-5)
Time: Sun 26 FEB 2017 1p, Mohegan Sun Arena
Line: Colorado -2.5
The Scoop: Despite the scoreline between these two the last time out, I'm not expecting much from this. Despite their struggles, Colorado is still Colorado. New England on the other hand, has been living too close for comfort. They cant catch that twice against the Mammoth - even if it is at home. But the Black Wolves have seen an attendance increase to over 10K. They're the key to the home team's success.
Outlook: Mammoth by 4.
*All times Eastern.
