November 20th Picks

Pick #1 Palermo Win, Draw, Lose by 1


  Palermo has been a significantly good team this year at 5-1-4, and a 2 goal difference. Also, Palermo has only lost once this year by more than one point, and that was to a very good AC Milan team who is ranked 2nd in their table at 6-3-2 (+9 GD). Juventus goes into this game at 5-4-0 with an 8 goal difference. Juventus has played pretty well at home, including a 2-0 win over AC Milan. Despite the impresseive win however, they have still struggled to much less impressive opponents such as Bologna, Genoa and Catania (all ended in draws) just to name a few. I think this game has a good shot at a draw, but I can't really see Juventus winning by more than 1. I would take my shot with Palermo. Good luck either way.

Pick #2 Buffalo Bills (writeup pending)

Pick #3 LA Galaxy win

The Galaxy have been a dominating team all year in the MLS. They beat Houston 1-0 at home, and then followed with a 3-1 loss in a game with little significance at the end of the year. At 19-10-5 and holding a goal difference of 20, LA has been the better team this season on paper. Houston will go into this game at 12-13-9, 4 goal difference, finishing second in their table behind Kansas. LA is a massive favorite, and after watching them throughout the year I can understand why. Houston has had an impressive run, but without the draw option to back them up, LA is a better option. LA for the win.
