The St. Louis Hornets? Undefeated? *shakes head* "Am I dreaming?" *slaps self* "I guess not". The St. Louis Hornets have already bested their win total from last season after a come from behind win against Edmonton. When they're down, St. Louis still finds a way to win. It's baffling. It's almost as if they made a deal with the devil (cue Sympathy for the Devil by the Rolling Stones). Bruce Johnson, Marcus Forte, Alex Grover, the DeLuca cousins, all apart of this 4-0 squad. People wonder when the Hornets are gonna lose. Who knew the Central would be so good. And then there is the case of the Dublin Celts, even without Justin Dobzinski and Chase Maden-Hill and Josh Weaver, the Celts pulled off the win against the Maulers. Call it a fluke for now but if Dublin continues to win, maybe they're the ones who made a deal with a devil. Imagine a Dublin/St. Louis World Bowl. Two teams of destiny, one champion.
Let's get to Week 6 picks.
STI@STL: The Surge already have a new owner in Michael Irvine and he made his plans clear from his first day as owner "St. Louis is going down" and well I know I just made this article but let's face it, Stirling is pretty good. I expect a shootout between Paul Young and Bruce Johnson. I see Young winning the shootout for Stirling.
BOS @ CIN: Boston is frustrated to say the least. Cincinnati needs to get that bad taste of London out of their mouth. One of these teams has to lose. I just think too much of Boston's defense to pick against them. I just think Sloan will struggle against Jackson Lawrence and Luscious Sanders.
EDM@ DUB: Ok this Dublin team is going to be decimated due to suspensions from the Commish. Edmonton is coming off a tough to swallow loss to St. Louis. In the end, I see this coming down to Bubba Jones vs the Dublin secondary. Bubba Jones won't let the Chill down. I'm taking Edmonton by 13.
QCC @ CLE: With all due respect to owner Ronnie Nickens, I would be crazy to pick the Stallions to win this game. Queen City. Tony Henderson. We're done here.
PHI @ LVD: If you thought the Super Bowl was great... this game isn't going to hold a candle to it. No Ivan Inferno vs Michael O'Connor. We get Michael O'Connor vs Mitchell Harrison. Oooh. Still it's nice to see the WAFL in New Orleans. Vegas looked alive against Edmonton, they stopped the run and contained the pass. I see Michael O'Connor playing much better since he told the media his reckless scrambling is behind him. I'll take Las Vegas but Philadelphia has a chance.
Ace Whirls' Predictions (as of Week 6): (13-20)
