December 16th Picks

Ryan's Picks


Pick #1 Wisconsin Whitewater Warhawks win

Wisconsin Whitewater Warhawks should win the Division 3 national football championship  fairly easily. Both teams are undefeated and have played each other for the national championship for the sixth straight year. Mount Union has had the better, more impressive run in the playoffs, but, I still believe Wisconsin Whitewater is more talented. Wisconsin Whitewater will use their superior defense and will win the championship. 



Christian's Picks


1. Any Other Result (Köln @ Bayern München)

     So, at first glance, I really like the AOR pick. Regardless, Bayern is still one of the best teams in the world. Needless to say, Köln, is not.... There are a few interesting stats which may sway your decision in this game. The last four times these teams have played, including last year, here were the results:Köln beat Bayern 3-2 @ home, They drew twice 0-0 at Bayern, and then once again, Köln drew them 1-1 at home. Last year, Köln was also in 10th in the table (as they are now) and Bayern München was still their dominant self. This year, Bayern München lost back to back to Borussia Dortmund and Mainz 05. Interestingly enough, Köln just came off a 1-1 draw against Mainz 05, the team who BEAT Bayern München! I think that Köln's Poloski will be a large center of attention for Bayern München on account of him scoring five goals in the last three matches. Köln also really needs a draw here so they will be on their "ultra-defensive" self, trying to contain Bayern München as much as possible. Since this is virtually impossible, it will at least stymie them from scoring goals for a bit..... Hopefully. Anyways, I think Bayern München wins by one goal here.

2. Yes: A Point Scored in the first 6 Minutes (Montana @ Sam Houston St.)

     To say I did a lot of research on this game would be a lie. However, I just have a feeling that the offenses will come out scoring. In both of their last games, there was a score within the first 6 minutes (At 5:38 in and then 5:54 in). Though it was close, it still counts. Both these teams have potent offenses which can score so therefore, I think one of the teams will score early. Good luck!
