Guru's Golden Picks: Arena Week 8

[AFLGuru]

Austin! Up 17 on the Dragons... wow... I was thinking this was an upset, but this might be a bit of a reach. Still a lot of time left... so I wouldn't bank this yet... but it's gonna be hard to screw this one up.

 

[AFLGuru]

Gonna try this again...

Adding: Vegas (-4) @ Arizona, 2nd half (3 units -105)

 

[AFLGuru]

Vegas (-4)... Bonner's out of the game. Arizona's got 2 picks and hasn't capitalized. Vegas gets the ball first in the second half, so we'll be one stop from being in front the rest of the way in all likelihood.

 

[scottw]

We're not worthy! Great call on AUS outright. I had the under 108. Figured for sure NY would score in the last :04 to give me a horrid beat, and damn if they got within 3 yards of doing it.

 

[AFLGuru]

Yeah, I'm gonna call the upset and break dead the hell even today because of these 2nd half plays... Vegas can't pick up a stop now for its life. 48-48, Arizona up a point in the 2nd half. Joe Germaine has thrown 3 incompletions in the half. Unreal.

 

[scottw]

I'm watching the Vegas game. They are doing a hell of a job at finding a way to blow it.

 

[AFLGuru]

Yeah scott... and now Austin's done. They're losing their next 5 at least. Something like @ Orlando, New Orleans, @ Tampa, @ Georgia, @ Arizona

Thanks for playing boys... now let the big boys run the division.

And this Georgia team? Done. They're not making the playoffs. Not even close. Shoot themselves too much. Nice job beating Orlando sans-Kenny McEntyre basically for the entire game... and they really did whoop Orlando. Their defense is really good. Their offense is really not...

And in this Vegas game... Vegas scores and goes up 6 after another missed PAT... they're just BEGGING to screw me over with PATs in the 2nd half of these games. Just begging for it. If we continue to go back and forth though, we're probably turning up short. Defense needs a stand at some point for the Gladiators... And against Joe Germaine, I would have figured the task would be a bit easier.

 

[AFLGuru]

Scott, what do you have that lets you get all of these games? I didn't even think a satellite would pick them up for the most part because so many of these things aren't televised...

 

[AFLGuru]

Oh man, 3rd and 22 and a TD? Can't buy a break tonight... My brackets are crap now too... had Wake winning it all... Oh well... less channel flipping tomorrow and more AFL.

 

[scottw]

I have DIRECTV. Lots of games on Fox sports. DIRECTV has almost all the Fox sports channels. AZ bobbles snap and still gets it. Unreal. LV trying to pull another AUS and blow one they had in hand.

 

[AFLGuru]

Alright Vegas, let's punch this one home and play some defense!

 

[AFLGuru]

Hey Scott, did they say anything about the Bonner injury? Leg again, or something different?

 

[AFLGuru]

You're kidding right.... Went for 2 and missed... best we're doing now is our cash back... F*cking PATs the difference between +5 and change more and -3... and maybe -6 if Arizona scores in response.

 

[scottw]

I had the sound down when Bonner was hurt. Now LV onside kicks OUT OF BOUNDS. Stupid. AZ runs the clock down and will score.

 

[AFLGuru]

Scott, you got the play by play for us?

 

[scottw]

TD AZ, 2pt conversion good of course, AZ by 3, :32.

 

[scottw]

LV returns kick to LV 15 :28

 

[scottw]

Pass batted down. 2nd and 10

 

[scottw]

Pass for 9 yards. 3rd and 1. :14 LV TO, 2 left now.

 

[scottw]

Clock reset to :17
