Justin’s Picks Week Two 12/22/18 Unfortunately, I did not get my picks submitted in time last week for everyone to see.

Week 2 of the NLL season has three matchups, two on Friday and one on Saturday.

Chris Crane, Beat Writer Rochester Knighthawks Lacrosse is Awesome Saturday night’s games in the NLL were must watch TV for the fans, and a must win for the teams.

The rivalry between…
