Lavishly's Picks Saturday Week #15

Rochester -4.5 @ Harrisburg +4.5 over/under 29.5  Fresh off of their first win of the season, the Harrisburg Heat now open their doors to host the Rochester Lancers.  Harrisburg looks to keep what they have going and win two in a row, but it won't be easy against a quality team like the Lancers.  I am still in shock over the Ambush loss and the fact that St. Louis has lost 4 out of 5 games after picking up Gordy Gurson.  I don't think Harrisburg wins 2 in a row, but if they did, it would be amazing.  Rochester just has too many weapons to not win this game, like Salles' booming left foot, Hoxie's mustache, and Los Dos Kapinos.  I think that the Lancers cover the spread and the game stays under 29.5.

Wichita +2.5 @ Chicago -2.5 over/under 12.5  Chicago played a very strong first half yesterday in Missouri in a very tight low scoring affair.  But in the second half the Mustangs were held scoreless as the Comets put another 5 on the board.  Wichita has been playing some very good soccer as of late and will definitely put up a good fight in Chicago, but I don't think Chicago will lose two in a row.  I know that "The People's Champion" Dave K. thinks differently about this, and if he is right it would make the chase for the playoffs in the Central Division a whole lot more interesting, but Chicago covers 2.5 and the game goes over, and that's the bottom line, because Lavishly said so.

St. Louis +1.5 @ Detroit -1.5 over/under 15.5  Oh St. Louis Ambush, not only did you just slow dance with the ugliest girl at the prom, you just made out with her, and as the principle flipped on the lights at the end of the night, that dark corner in which you thought no one would see you just became illuminated, revealing to the rest of the student body your humiliation.  St. Louis you just got caught swapping spit with the unsightly swamp donkey, but don't lament the past and what is now done, but instead feel satisfaction that you just made that homely girls night.  Remember, mud ducks need love too.  As you make that walk of shame up to the Melvindale Arena, just ignore the snickers and sophomoric jokes coming from the onlookers, those slack jawed yokes don't know the meaning of sacrifice like you do, especially when its your pride on the sacrificial alter.  Forget the past and look to the future, but if you can't, might I suggest a lobotomy.  This game will be a hard one win, the Ambush look to save face after sucking on the ugliest one, and Detroit looks to get in the win column after losing 7 straight.  I think Detroit wins the game, but by one goal, so I will give St. Louis the points and go with the overs.  

Saltillo +6.5 @ Dallas -6.5 over/under 14.5  Every time I pick Dallas to blow out the competition they don't, so I will go against my initial impulse and give Saltillo the points, and I will go with the overs.  I am interested in seeing what the state of the Sidekicks is, and who is going to be on the field.

Monterrey -1.5 @ Oxford City +1.5 over/under 12.5  This game is very interesting, I would like to see how Oxford matches up to Monterrey at home, and maybe get a glimpse into a future playoff game.  I will say that the Flash cover the points, but I think it should be a good close game.  I will also go with the overs in this game.

Ontario -2.5 @ Sacramento +2.5 over/under 16.5  Ontario played a good game yesterday against the Express, and now they move on to the Surge.  I don't have much to say about this game, except that Ontario will cover the spread and this game stays under.

Seattle +8.5 @ San Diego -8.5 over/under 15.5  With the signing of Evan Mundine to the Sockers' squad, San Diego has a better chance of covering the spread than before.  Someone with the skills and ability like him is good for at least a goal.  San Diego covers the spread and the game goes over.
