Upset central last night... If you were like me and panicked, say good-bye to the WStreak. After flip-flopping and multiple second guessing, I decided to pick the Houston Dynamo over Sporting KC. Bad decision: Houston had a 2-0 aggregate lead in the series, which meant all they had to do was sit back and absorb every attack KC sent their way. So it makes sense that KC would at least put one goal in, right? Exactly. That's what they did. And I knew they would. But it changed my pick last minute. Dumb. This is why Streak for Cash is so tricky. The second guessing and the fact that you may never be 100% sure of anything.
So if you were like me and took the Dynamo, or you were any of the 93,772 Streakers that lost in the Bowling Green-Ohio game, its time to start over. Luckily, I managed to lock in the LA Galaxy quickly after Sporting KC won to redeem myself.

Liverpool: Win or Draw @ Anzhi Makhachkala Win.
Soccer is my weakest category this month, a mere 1-2. BUT I have faith in this pick. Why? Liverpool is sitting most of their starters. Their Reserves will get the start. They have a big game against Chelsea this Sunday, so they will look forward to that match-up. Anzhi is unbeatable at home this season and they will be playing their full squad. Look for Eto'o to run all over Liverpool. I'll be surprised if he doesn't put one in the back of the net.
Liverpool: Win or Draw @ Anzhi Makhachkala Win.
James:
Inter Milan: Win @ Partizan Belgrade: Win or Draw
Inter Milan looks like a good choice to beat Partizan Belgrade. Inter has been on fire as of late and are coming of an away win at Juventus. BUT be careful: 2 of Inter Milan's starting defenders will be out due to injury. If the reserves can hold their own, Inter will take this match.
Inter Milan: Win @ Partizan Belgrade: Win or Draw
Matt: No Pick
"Its all crap-shoot tennis matches, 50-50 NBA games, and weird Florida State/Virginia Tech props. Wouldn't touch any of them with a 10-foot pole."
Bonus Match-up of the night:
Indianapolis Colts @ Jacksonville Jaguars
The Colts are 5-3 coming off a win at home vs Miami. The Jaguars are 1-7 coming off a bad loss to the Lions at home.
Jacksonville's only win was against the Colts in Indianapolis in Week 3. Yes, the Jaguars won 22-17, but it was early in the season. We've seen Andrew Luck start to come into his own and it looks like the offense is beginning to click after winning 3 straight. (VS Cleveland, @ Tennessee, VS Miami.) Yes, neither of the three teams own a winning record, and yes all of the Colt's wins have been by less than double digits. Look for the Colts defense to keep the Jaguars offense quiet and hopefully give Andrew Luck enough time on the field to get some points.
Jim: Colts
James: Colts
Matt: Colts "0% Chance the Jags win... And I Just jinxed the shit out of the Colts."
