I don't know what has changed in Kansas City, but the Command looked good against Georgia on Saturday night. I managed to catch the game on Ustream, and while Arenafan is reporting that there were 5,079 fans in attendance, the arena looked empty. Kansas City either played a second good game or Georgia shot itself in the foot. Watching the game, I would be inclined to say that both teams played well, just that Kansas City made fewer mistakes and managed to come out on top at the end of the game. So, now the question is, can Kansas City keep the momentum going, can they make it three games as they take on the Utah Blaze (three game losing streak) next weekend at home at the Sprint Center? I'm still having a hard time imagining the Command making that strong of a turn around, and with the better record overall, I would be inclined to go with Utah.
There was a moment that I thought that Chicago was going to beat San Jose. Leading the game at half-time, it looked like Chicago had things going well. However, San Jose came out on top at the final buzzer. As for Iowa, I guess I should have gone with the stats and not my desires. I had Iowa taking the match against Spokane, but Spokane managed to get ahead before the half, and Iowa simply couldn't catch up to take the game.
Week 13: First up is the Cleveland Gladiators (6-4) at Iowa on Friday, June 1. I hate to say this, but Cleveland has the stronger record in this confrontation, so I'm gonna go with the Gladiators. Iowa has not been a superpower at home.
Next up is Utah Blaze at Kansas City. Utah has the stronger record, but Kansas City seems to have found what was missing from their game, and they could prove to be the stronger team here. They managed to take out Georgia in a low scoring game, I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt against Utah, who comes to KC on a three game losing streak, but having scored a lot higher than Kansas City's last two wins.
Wrapping it up will be the Spokane Shock (6-4) against the Rush (6-4) in Chicago. Chicago comes into this home game on a two game losing streak. Spokane is riding a three game winning streak, but that momentum may not be enough to break Chicago's perfect season at home. All of Chicago's losses have been on the road, they are 5-0 at home, and Spokane is only 3-2 on the road. Two of the three wins that Spokane is bringing into this match up were at home, one against Philadelphia, but the other against 4-6 New Orleans. The third in the series was against 4-7 Iowa, and after looking at everything, I will go with Chicago to win this one.
So, here are my predictions: Cleveland over Iowa, Kansas City over Utah, and Chicago over Spokane.
