Guru's Golden Picks: Arena League Week 1

[Jacksorbetter+]

36-14 Philly is right. Philly also recovered a Pesavento fumble and have it at the 1 minute warning. This game will get ugly.

 

[Jacksorbetter+]

Graziani throws TD #6 in the first half. 42-14XP no good

 

[AFLGuru]

Stat of the day: Assuming Philly can win by 8, bad QBs are 0-2 ATS.

Preds have 1st and goal on the 1 at the 1 minute warning up two. Preds are gonna need one more defensive stand in this game to be sure. Scoring last in the half would do it.

God damn you McGlaughlin... He just cursed himself... "Coach, I've missed 2 extra points 3 times in my career. I've never missed 3." He almost missed this one.

39 seconds left in the half, Preds up 26-17. Buck Gurley is out for the Predators today. Looked like a pretty bad knee injury. Not too critical for the Preds, as they carry one more lineman than most teams.

 

[AFLGuru]

Preds looked GREAT at the end of the half. Up 26-17 going into the break, but Colorado gets the ball first in the 2nd half.

Philly's up... oh, a mere TWENTY-FOUR at halftime (even though it's an implied 17 because Austin gets the ball first). Looking good ladies and gents. Looking real good!

I think Philly's pretty safe, but weird **** happens in the AFL. Predators need two more stops to be golden. If they stop them this first drive out and get the lead to 16, it's over. No one comes back on Orlando that far in the Jungle.

 

[AFLGuru]

Take that Colorado!!! Orlando pass rush HUNGRY!!!! Rupert "Dog Head" Grant recovers the fumble on the first play of the half. Preds driving up 9!

 

[AFLGuru]

Preds running away with it! Joe Hamilton has had an amazing game. Missed another PAT... ******* kicker... ******* ******* kicker.... 15 point lead. Should be 18... unreal. But still a big Preds lead.

 

[AFLGuru]

Hmm... guess I can't drop the f-bomb too many times on this board... Anyway, Preds just gave up a TD on a bomb... DB guess wrong. Preds by 8

 

[AFLGuru]

Okay, this is really bad. Orlando fumble in the end zone for a TD. 32-31 Orlando... Now it's ugly. That's what I get for opening my mouth.

In-Game Threads are More Fun (for me),


if it's Not a Major Game for me...:digit:

 

[sherwood]

Austin on way back too... 45-28, Nothing comes easy

7:03 left in the third Austin has picked off 2 in a row and have it at midfield

 

[degenerategambler]

there you go...

 

[AFLGuru]

Orlando just had a scary looking drive end in a TD. Should've been intercepted at least once. Scary stuff. Kicker clanked in the PAT. Yeah, Orlando's definitely in the market for a new kicker again. 39-31 Preds.

 

[sherwood]

Philly held, no points, bad snap on FG attempt.
Still 45-28. Graziano looks a bit rattled.

 

[AFLGuru]

Gametracker just went out... I saw it was 4th and 10 for Austin... did they kick?

 

[sherwood]

Picked off again...three possessions in a row now.
Graziano had five all last year, three today. Shaky game indeed.:sad3:

 

[AFLGuru]

Graziani, 3 picks??? Goodness. Preds are still up 8, 3rd down for the Crush. Preds defense is starting to get to Dutton. No sacks yet, but they're forcing him to throw the ball away.

 

[sherwood]

End of three 45-28, Austin has it first down at their own 20.
Philly is self destructing, they ended the third with a roughing the passer penalty.

Don't like the way this game is going at all but things can change in a real hurry in this league.

 

[AFLGuru]

Preds with the stop. Missed FG by Rush, over the bar. First and 10 Preds up 8 on their own 5. TD here and I feel REALLY good again.

 

[AFLGuru]

Orlando can't capitalize. Fumble on 2nd down made it hard to convert. Hamilton missed a wide open TD. Preds miss a FG. Crush ball in Preds territory.
