Standings:
Shawn Palmer 9-3
Justin Ivey 8-4
Chris Vale 6-6
Stephonya Hunter-Penner 6-6
After a slow weekend for Week 4, the NLL has packed eight games into Week 5! Stephonya was the only perfect score for Week 4 as she chose Colorado over Calgary. Because of this heavy load, our picks will be posted daily so here goes for the two Friday night games.
New York Riptide (0-2) at New England Black Wolves (2-0)
Friday, December 27 at 7:30 PM EST
New England has been hot, starting the season with two big road wins. The team seems to have great chemistry and the ball movement is precise. New York has been outscored by a total of 12 goals over two games. Agreement across the board on this one!
My Pick: New England
Stephonya Hunter-Penner: New England
Chris Vale: New England
Shawn Palmer: New England
Calgary Roughnecks (1-1) at San Diego Seals (0-2)
Friday, December 27 at 10:00 PM EST
The top (Calgary) and bottom (San Diego) teams in the West Division face off in California. Calgary just lost an overtime game to Colorado in a goaltender/defense duel. San Diego has not seemed like the high-powered offense we saw glimpses of last year and they have been outscored by 10 goals over two games.
My Pick: San Diego
Stephonya Hunter-Penner: Calgary
Chris Vale: Calgary
Shawn Palmer: San Diego
