Week 1 Commish's Picks

Updated: Sep 10, 2020


Other than the two team owners, I'm not sure who's really interested in this matchup. This pair of bottom-feeders from 2018 will have at least one thing to look forward to: one of them will be undefeated this year. Well, for a week at least. I think it ends close in a low to mid range scoring affair.

COMMISH'S PICK: NH Bounty Hunters


It's clear these teams have had it out for each other over the years, but I would stop short of calling this a rivalry. A rivalry consists of two evenly matched teams. Throughout SCL history, these two have faced each other 11 times, including playoff games. Badazz Bri has won 9 of those. Which is why it surprises me a little that Hit Em With The Hein!! is a favorite to win this game. But, then again, how many times have we seen ESPN's projections turn out wrong?

COMMISH'S PICK: Badazz Bri


The only thing close about this game is the spread. I've scoured their lineups and studied the projections intimately. No, really! I spent at least 3 minutes analyzing this matchup. The bottom line is that I don't see how Who Is You does not walk away with this game. In fact, I think if there is a blowout this week, this is your best bet. Unless, of course, I'm wrong. But, c'mon, when was the last time that happened?

COMMISH'S PICK: Who Is You


You would think the defending champs would be the favorite to win, but you'd be wrong. In fact, Flash Dem TD's is one of the biggest underdogs this week. Considering their terrible draft grade (F-) you might begin to see why. Personally, I don't think they'll get blown out like ESPN projects, though I do think they come up short.

COMMISH'S PICK: Team RamRod


I'm as puzzled as you are about this matchup. In the Power Rankings, PORK CHOP EXPRESS is ranked 8th and Thundabuddies is ranked 7th. Regarding the draft, Thundabuddies received a "A" grade while the CHOP's received a "C+". So why would Thundabuddies be the underdog? Probably because they've lost 4 of 5 to the CHOP's in the past 2 seasons. Maybe because PORK CHOP EXPRESS got the good news that Elliott will be playing this year after all. Meh, I'll still take Thundabuddies by a field goal.

COMMISH'S PICK: Thundabuddies


On the back of a good off-season and successful draft, Chief Sticky Balls jumped from #7 to #2 in the Power Rankings. The only team better than them happens to be Blue Ribbon who is a slight favorite to win the game. If I were betting on this game, which I am, my eye is on Mason Crosby. Yes, you read that right. If Crosby has a good night on Thursday, Sticky Balls wins. If not, Blue Ribbon wins. That might seem contrary to you, but this is my post. Get your own if you want reason and logic.

COMMISH'S PICK: Chief Sticky Balls

Gotta admit Brian does own Jason C... Tate could've been the difference this year if he wasn't suspended
