Ahead of the curve

So the next month and a half is gonna be rough for me and the dear old spreadsheet. I'll be gone four of the next five weeks, though one of the weeks is Vegas with the wife and the other is gonna be in New York where I'll be able to catch the SKC-NYRB match, so not all bad. Just get the feeling that this guy isn't going to be as up to date as I'd like.

So, with that in mind, and the fact that there's a game tomorrow, I got a head start on predictions for the week. It's only based on 8 submissions right now, I usually like to have at least 10, but it doesn't look that crazy and there's not too much variability, so let's go to the board and see what we've got.

Well, first, in retrospect, another not great week for picks. We're now at 102 right out of 221 for 46.2%. The only expert close is at 100 right out of 221, so we're still slightly ahead of MLS writers picks. MLS teams are 119/221 in home games so still a lot of ground to make up before we beat that number.

Now, here's the weekly picks.
