Marseille- Loss (by a last minute goal)
Toronto Maple Leafs- Win (4-3)
Record for day 1-1
Record for month 24-14
Still been a pretty rough month. I will get all my picks up around noon for tomorrow, but here is a pick I really like...
Pick #1 Jeff Overton lower score or tie
Much better golfer, but add the tie option, and it makes for a solid pick.
Pick #2 Lazio win
Another brief preview, but with the way Lazio (3-2-1, 2 goal difference, 11 goals in their table) has been playing lately, its a little hard to go against them. Their only recent losses came to a very solid Sporting Lisbon team who is currently 4-2-1 with a 5 goal difference and 14 goals in their table, and also lost to Genoa 1-2 about a month ago. Zurich is 3-1-6, 0 goal difference and 10 goals in their Super League table. With them having the draw option and them being at home, it might get interesting. But overall, I have more reason to go with Lazio as long as they play a good and healthy lineup.
Pick #3 Philadelphia Union win or draw
The reason so many are going with the New York Red Bulls, is because they still need a win to make the playoffs. With them at home, it isn’t out of the question, but lets look a little deeper into the matchup. Philadelphia is 11-15-7, 9 goal difference and has scored 48 goals this season; compared to the NY Red Bulls 9-16-8 record, 5 goal difference and 43 goals. These teams are pretty evenly matched, but a slight edge has to be given to the Union overall. The Union have not lost in 8 games, and as comparable as the Red Bulls are to the union, The Red Bulls will be without their leading scorer Thierry Henry, who has scored 14 of New York's goals this season. The Red Bulls next top scorer is Luke Rogers, who has scored 9 goals. So taking Henry out of the mix will definitely not help the them. Also, Philadelphia still has a little to play for despite already qualifying for the playoffs. Philadelphia can still play for a higher seed and even if the Red Bulls draw, they still have a shot. So this game isn't a win or die scenario for New York. This game should at least end in a draw for the Union.
Pick #4 Arizona Wildcats
Such a tough game to call, but I have to say the slight edge goes to Arizona. Mainly since they are at home. Both teams have lost to some very strong opponents. Arizona (1-5, 0-4 in PAC 12) has lost to Oklahoma State, Stanford, Oregon and USC (5-1); all of which were in the top 10 at the time besides USC. They did however, have a pretty embarrassing 27-37 loss to Oregon State. UCLA (3-3, 2-1 PAC 12) has lost to Texas, Stanford and Houston who is currently undefeated and ranked #19 in the nation. They have not beat anyone impressive, but one notable win did come to Oregon State who beat Arizona 37-27. UCLA has no major injuries to worry about, but defensive back Jamie Graham is questionable (knee injury). Arizona free safety Adam Hall has been declared out for the season after re-injuring his knee as well (ACL). Arizona has played without him a good amount of the season though. I think Arizona wins in a close game. Their passing attack is really all they have, and hopefully they can get it going early and throughout the game.
