Di Miller, NLL Correspondent Lacrosse is Awesome© The Colorado Mammoth (0-3) hosted the Toronto Rock (3-1) on 80’s Rock Night in the Mile High City. The 11,678 Mammoth fans were ready to see their team get their first “W” of the season.

Justin’s Picks Week Three 12/28/18 & 12/29/18 Week One: 1-2 Week Two: 2-1 I was able to reverse my fortunes last week and reach .500 early in the season. The self confidence boost was much needed.

Justin’s Picks Week Two 12/22/18 Unfortunately, I did not get my picks submitted in time last week for everyone to see. I had all three home teams picked to win and only one of them did, so I enter week two with a much less than perfect 1-2.
