Not a ton I like today, but here's my analysis regardless... Good Luck today whatever you decide to do
Pick #1 Murcia win
Murcia has played a harder schedule than La Coruna, losing to the likes of Almeria, Celta Vigo, Elche and drawing against a decent Las Palmas team. La Coruna's schedule has been easier and includes road losses to FC Cartagena (20th in table), CD Alcoyano (18th) and AD Alcorcon (10th) (La Coruna ranks 8th). They did manage to keep up with Hercules (currently the top team in their table) at home in a 0-1 loss, but on the road La Coruna has struggled. Murcia has lost to much better teams in general. Since losing to Almeria, Celta Vigo and Elche at the beginning of the season (first 3 games), Murcia has gone 5-3-0, as well as 2-1-0 at home.
Overall this season, Murcia is 5-3-3, 3 goal difference and 18 points; La Coruna is 6-1-4, 2 goal difference and 19 points. La Coruna 2-0-3 on the road this season overall. I think Murcia being at home will make the difference. Murcia seems to do a lot better at home, La Coruna is not very good on the road. Good luck whatever you do, Murcia would be my pick. The draw is the only thing that makes me nervous. I don't think Murcia will lose but we'll see.
Pick #2 Any Other Result (Valparaiso @ #16 Arizona)
I mean really? Arizona is a good team, but the way they have played in the preseason should make you really evaluate picking them. I'm not saying they can't win by 15 or more, but Arizona seems to be a bandwagon pick, probably because of their rank and playing at home (I would guess). Maybe Arizona has just been holding back for the regular season, but Valparaiso seems to be a pretty decent (not great) team overall. Arizona should win, but I'm not sure they can manage a win by more than 15. Arizona lost to Division 2 Seattle-Pacific (who?) at home and that is something to really consider. We'll see what happens, but by current situations and outcomes, I would have to give the edge to Valparaiso. Looking forward to seeing what happens...
Pick #3 San Jose Sharks
I may or may not write about this tonight (because I have more I want to write about), but from a glance with them at home, I like San Jose.
Pick #4 Bears: 4th Quarter Points
I know this game starts in just an hour and a half, but I kinda like it. The Bears have had a while to prepare for the Eagles and I think they might even win straight up. Likely the Eagles will pull it off, but if the Bears can at least salvage a touchdown in the 4th quarter, they should be ok. I may go with this so I can squeeze in the San Jose Sharks pick. That's why I'm putting it up
