Final Four Lines

Las Vegas Legends vs Hidalgo La Fiera  Las Vegas has speed, veteran leadership in Enrique Tovar, who is having one of his best seasons ever playing indoor soccer, a crafty passer and shooter like Ivan Campos, and a skilled attacker in Ricardo Sobreira.  They are coming off of a huge win at home against division rival San Diego and are rolling with momentum coming into their game against La Fiera.  Hidalgo on the other hand has a great team assembled and are no strangers to the PASL postseason.  Chile Farias is having a career year with the Hidalgo team and with the help of key players like De Souza, Ughy, and keeper Juan Gamboa, have led La Fiera to a 14-2 regular season.  If Vegas can come out of the gate with their signature pushy, shovey, and floppy style of play than they could draw Hidalgo, who is the most penalized team of the 4 left, into foul trouble early.  Vegas had the best Power Play in the regular season and could make Hidalgo, a team known to have trouble controlling their emotions, pay by playing short handed more than they want to.  I expect a chippy game from both side, but I really hope to see Sesay rolling around on the floor while the Las Vegas trainer splashes water in his face, something that still makes me laugh when I think about it, and then Sanchez can head butt a guy while some guy on the Las Vegas bench flips off a few kids in the crowd.  So far in the post season the teams that I have favored, like SD, Monterrey, and Detroit, have lost.  That being said.  Las Vegas -1.5 o/u 14

Cleveland Freeze @ Chicago Mustangs  Mustangs 13 - Freeze 4 and Mustangs 20 - Freeze 11.  Maybe the third times a charm for the Cleveland Freeze who just won a huge game in Detroit against the Waza Flo.  Maybe their will be a little luck, a few good bounces, and some unbelievable play from Cleveland's best players to carry them to victory.  I would love to see the Freeze pull off another huge upset win on the road against the Mustangs, but it will take a lot from Hector and his crew. If Mike Mason can get hot and have an unreal game, fending off moments of furious attacks like he did against Detroit, then it will be the Freeze who will be spoiling the show in Chicago.  I will hold my tongue about the Mustangs until after the game so that I don't jinx anything.  Chicago -3.5 o/u 16
