The third week in the PASL begins with the Wichita B-52's flying out to play Enrique Tovar and the Las Vegas Legends. I mention Enrique Tovar because he is already having a stand out season with the Legends and leads the league with 8 goals and 8 assists. Wichita is coming off of big win at home against the Piasa and regained some confidence after being blown out in Dallas. Vegas is scoring on 63% of their power plays and Wichita has given up a goal every time they have been shorthanded. Wichita has a pair of Midfielders, Clare and Pittman with a combined 7 goals, who are seeing the back of the net, while the Vegas side has 2 midfielders, Tovar and Gonzalez, and 2 forwards, Campos and Benitez, who have a combined 22 goals. Las Vegas -4 over/under 15
Detroit goes into Harrisburg for a rematch from last week when the Heat bested the Waza Flo 8-7 in Detroit. Harrisburg inched out a win in overtime when Mellor scored a goal off of a Schofield pass 40 seconds into overtime. Detroit is not going to let that happen again. Harrisburg is at home so I will give them the -1, but look for a Detroit win on the road. Harrisburg -1 o/u 12.5
The Piasa travel to Chicago to take on Efrain Martinez and the Chicago Mustangs. The Piasa have a nine game road losing streak going and I don't think it will end in Chicago. Chicago is doing well in killing penalties this year giving up 1 goal in 7 penalties, but Illinois is no slouch either at 3 goals in 7 penalty kills. Piasa, on the other hand, are doing better in power play opportunities than Chicago, with 3 goals in 5 power plays. Chicago -2.5 o/u 13
Cincinnati travels to Cleveland where the 2nd game between these two teams in the Battle for Ohio. Cleveland is coming off of a victory against a good Heat team and will look to even the score with the Saints. Cincinnati is coming off of a close loss to Chicago and both teams are sitting at 1-1 and want to break .500. This will be a good game to watch, Cleveland -1 o/u 15
Tulsa makes the somber and lonely journey to Dallas, like cattle in a livestock truck on the way to the slaughterhouse, where the inevitable butchering awaits. Sidekicks fans might want to leave the children at home on this one and bring plenty of BBQ sauce. Dallas -9.5 o/u 17
Saltillo Travels to Beaumont to have a shot at the Texas Strikers. Texas is coming of a loss in Hildago where they only put up 1 point but gave up 13, and I don't think Rancho Seco will go any easier. Saltillo -7.5 o/u 12
The Monterrey Flash come to the VVCC to take on the San Diego Sockers at home. Monterrey is a quality side that 2-0 coming into a San Diego house that witness their team lose at home for the first time in the PASL. Both Monterrey and San Diego are perfect in fending off power plays having killed a combined 14 penalties, but Monterrey is struggling to find the back of the net when they have the advantage only scoring on 1 out of 7 opportunities. Monterrey is coming into San Diego with some steam, but I doubt SD loses two in a row at home. San Diego -1.5 o/u 14
On Sunday the Flash make the 20 minute trip to take on Tijuana after playing the Sockers the night before. Both teams will be used to the type and size of arena that Mexico plays in so the game should have some fluidity. Mexico is no beginner side, and can win at home, and given the record so far of teams playing two games in two days, I'd say that the Toros have a shot. Monterrey -1.5 o/u 12
Sacramento goes to Ontario where they will try and fend off a score happy Fury side. Sacramento is looking for there first win of the season, but Ontario will not give it to them. Ontario will most likely run up the score like they did against the Toros in the pre-season. Ontario wins by a landslide. Ontario -8 o/u 16
Saltillo will travel to Hidalgo to take on La Fiera. Hidalgo is hot right now and are in my stable, I would not be surprised to see La Fiera cruise to victory with the greatest of ease. Hidalgo -3 o/u 14
