Texan's Week 5 Picks
Current Record: 71-9
Welcome to 80s fashion week. Roll out in your most crucial threads or be square. I kid you not.
Psych.
Naga
NBA Jam (5-0) v CMM (1-4)
NBA "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" this season in the form of a title run and they look good so far. For CMM this season is no "Thriller" thus far, but they keep plugging away. This will be a bit of a mismatch this season, but I'm sure CMM eyes revenge in the future. NBA 55, CMM 17.
Monks (5-0) v SCSK (2-3)
The Monks just love playing the team that PDP just played because they are "Just Good Friends", but so far SCSK feels "Bad" about the whole thing. The Monks will be a very difficult matchup in the trenches here and I see SCSK getting worn down as the game progresses. Monks 35, SCSK 20.
SLS (5-0) v PPW (0-5)
I'v been a fan of those "Speed Demon" LBs of SLS this season and they have a lot to be happy about. PPW needs to look at "The Man in the Mirror" and realize their rebuilding plan will get them back to Pro at some point. SLS 135, PPW 6.
Saigon Whores (5-0) v Rumrunners (0-5)
It's nothing personal that I pick against you every week Rumrunners but it would be "Dangerous" to my winning percentage to do otherwise. Saigon may be "Gone too Soon" from SEAPL if they keep playing like this. Saigon 75, Rumrunners 3.
Tibet (4-1) v Thai (2-3)
Another difficult game for Thai has them saying "Leave Me Alone" to the schedule. Tibet better be careful of Thai's ability to recover mid-season or they could be lamenting "Why You Wanna Trip On Me" to Thai if they don't take them seriously. This is actually pretty intriguing to me as Thai showed some real fight versus Saigon, but I think Tibet's talent pulls them through. Tibet 42, Thai 30.
PDP (3-2) v The Blue (2-3)
The Blue came in with plans to "Burn This Disco Out" but they are treading water at this point. PDP is hoping to run around that D fast enough to they'll wonder if we're wearing our "Black or White" penguin unis. Should actually be a fairly even game, down to the wire. In those I always pick my own team--hey it's my write-up. PDP 27, The Blue 24.
Bacolod (2-3) v Mekong (1-4)
Mekong is in a free fall like we haven't seen from them before and they'll be "Workin Day and Night" to get it corrected. Bacolod is hanging around and if they can win here they stay right in the thick of the playoff race, which is a little "Off the Wall" compared to previous seasons. Another tough call, but Mekong isn't showing many signs of life right now. Bacolod 16, Mekong 13.
HKH (1-4) v Bali (1-4)
The loser here is probably an early casualty in the playoff hunt and "I Can't Help It", just the truth. Whomever wins, "Don't Stop Til you Get Enough" and keep plugging away. One of the pack of pickem games this week. HKH 17, Bali 14.
garuda
Krungthep (5-0) v RSR (1-4)
RSR started out pretty promising but they will not enjoy this part of their schedule so they may as well "Get on the Floor" to minimize the damage! Krungthep is just planning to "Beat It" all season--take that as you will... Krungthep 56, RSR 3.
Bangalore (5-0) v MMJ (0-5)
Bangalore gets the feeling "Somebody's Watchin Me"--it's the other top contenders now that the cat is out of the bag. For the good guys at MMJ, it's "Human Nature" to keep fighting and they'll be a threat again in a season near you. Bangalore 155, MMJ 3.
Tet (5-0) v Ottawa (1-4)
Don't be fooled by Ottawa's record, they could provide several teams some trouble and are the "P.Y.T." of garuda. Tet isn't likely to be one of those teams troubled by the Beavs, however, and they'll be thinking about fun with "Billie Jean" by halftime. Tet 45, Ottawa 17.
LSP (5-0) v BKK (3-2)
Saddle up for an old school garuda showdown. LSP holds that garuda trophy and they're still saying that "Baby Be Mine". BKK may think otherwise but they'd have to be one "Smooth Criminal" to win this one. LSP 35, BKK 20.
Buffalo (4-1) v Lucid (2-3)
Lucid seems just on the outside of the playoff hunt and they'd definitely like to get back in like they do with "Dirty Diana". Buffalo is looking strong, but are they up there with the undefeated teams in garuda? I think so, at least VJ says that's "The Way You Make Me Feel". Buffalo 42, Lucid 28.
Lampang (3-2) v Danang (2-3)
This has the potential to be the most entertaining garuda game of the week. Lampang would love to "Fly Away" to the playoffs but Danang is nipping at their heels like a Saigon "Streetwalker" to a tourist. Another game of the pickem variety imo. Danang 24, Lampang 23.
Singapore (2-3) v Sweatshop (1-4)
The Canes are on a 2 game win streak, but not a very impressive one considering who they've played. The Sweatshop looks like the better team to me and while they can't "Heal the World" with one win they can "Remember the Time" is now to make a stand. Sweatshop 35, Singapore 20.
Sydney (2-3) v Dharma (CPU)
Sydney looks to get back to .500 and make a case a contender and when they think about the playoffs they know "Can't Let Her Get Away". Dharma has been "In The Closet" for quite some time... Sydney 255, Dharma 0.
