I'm sufficiently humbled now. But still, I'm one of three who called it - and that's good, right?

That means we're the true loyalists, right? 😉

Is one of those three me? Because I checked my post and I nailed it. Who'd be crazy enough to pick against RSL at home. Freakin' Juggernaut!

That seems more valuable to me than playing probabilities to get more points in a contest with no real weight.

Being a pessimist is great...you're never disappointed! I don't think that it makes someone any less of a fan if they don't think that their team is going to go 32-0-0. If you were really optimistic about your team, then why did you predict that LA would score a goal on them? Have you no faith in our defense? 😉

I'm figuring a "prediction week" will run Mon-Sun. Sound about right? Maybe we'll roll Monday games (like Jul 4) into the previous week to try to group it better.

What do you mean? RSL is definitely going undefeated for the rest of the season!

I have faith in our defense, but come on! Let's be realistic here! :D
