Lavishly's Picks Saturday MASL Week #17

Harrisburg +8.5 @ Rochester -8.5 over/under 28.5  After watching the Mohican Warrior's Valentines Day monologue for this game I have a great deal more interest in this game.  I have been following what has been going on with Elliot Fauske through the Rochester broadcasts that he has done and by tuning into "Kick This" hosted by Soccer Sam.  I hope that Elliot sees a lot of time on the field and gets a goal.  If this was the only game of the week for the Lancers then I might consider picking them to cover the points, but since they just played a game yesterday in Baltimore I think that I will give the points to Harrisburg.  Just like Baltimore last week, and the Sockers this week, playing 2 games in a row has an effect on the second half of the second game.  Rochester still wins, but they don't cover, and 28.5 points is a lot of points, so I will go with the unders.

Chicago -0.5 @ Detroit +0.5  over/under 12.5  This is a tough one to call, Chicago is a great team, but Detroit is always a beast at home.  Chicago has had a lot of time off to get their house in order and address aspects of their play that needs to be improved.  Detroit is playing the last game in a 5 game home stand that has seen them only win 1 game.  Detroit will keep it close the whole game, and there will be a lot of defense in this game, I think.  I will go with Detroit with the win at home, and the game staying under.

Tulsa +14.5 @ Missouri -14.5 over/under 18.5  What a stinker of a game.  Missouri could beat the Revolution by 20 if they really wanted, but that would be extremely boring.  I think that the Comets will have mercy and compassion, pull back on the reins. play some back ups, and avoid running up the score.  Tulsa with the points and the game stays under.

Turlock -0.5 @ Sacramento +0.5 over/under 16.5  I had this game all wrong yesterday.  It seems like the Surge have thrown in the towel on the season and are letting some of the lesser players get some time on the field.  Turlock wins again and the game stays under.

Syracuse +3.5 @ Milwaukee -3.5 over/under 20.5  Don't sleep on the Silver Knights, they come to do battle.  Now is the time to strike with MKE plagued with the injures.  This could be the upset of the weekend.  I will give the points to the Silver Knights and go with the unders.
