NLL Insider Picks: Week Five
Return to Blog Home
Last week was a tough week with only Insiders Kevin Fixler and Chris Hall finishing above .500.
Insider picks are a day early this week because of tonight’s game in the Rose Garden.
On Sunday, we will likely only see minor tweaking in the standings as the Insiders unanimously think that Philly and Calgary will win on Saturday.
In any case, the season is certainly heating up and there are some big games on the docket.
Thursday
Colorado (-4.5) @ Portland
Friday
Calgary @ San Jose (-3.5)
Saturday
New York @ Toronto (-2.5)
Buffalo (-1.5) @ Philadelphia
Edmonton @ Chicago (-1.5)
Minnesota @ Rochester (-3.5)
San Jose @ Colorado (-1.5)
Portland @ Calgary (-2.5)

Colorado @ Portland
“Portland’s not quite there yet. Mammoth by three.”—Ted Jenner
Calgary @ San Jose
“I thought San Jose’s O came out pretty slow and were hesitant to start against the ‘Necks in their opener. I’m not tryin’ to bag on Calgary’s D, but not sure they can hold-up against San Jose’s high-powered O. Even with Kelusky back, I’m not sure Calgary’s gonna pull out their first W.”—Paul Tutka
New York @ Toronto
“The Rock O will have no trouble scoring on the Titans.”—Chris Hall
Buffalo @ Philadelphia
“Outside of Hall, we all got burned by Philly last week. This’ll be one of the few games the Bandits play where it looks like they might not be the quickest team on the rug. I’m goin’ with the Wings in the staff picks until they lose.”—Paul Tutka
“Tavares and Co. are coming off a big weekend, but I’m not ready to bet against Philadelphia’s sharpshooters again.”—Lauren Ward
Edmonton @ Chicago
“Take the home team until one of these demonstrates they’re better than their records.”—Chris Hall
Minnesota @ Rochester
“The Knighthawks are eager to prove they’re better than a 1-2 team, and eager to prove that Mike Accursi’s departure isn’t as powerful as people are thinking.”—Bob Chavez
San Jose @ Colorado
“The Mammoth are out to avenge last season’s playoff loss.”—Chris Hall
“Western Game of the year. OT thriller. Doyle MVP.”—Ted Jenner
Portland @ Calgary
Both teams are coming off losses. This one is Dangerous Dan Dawson and D-$ vs. TK and Lewis. I’m calling for lots of points with a slim Calgary win.”—Ted Jenner
“This Calgary team is definitely due for a win, and if they can get an early jump on the Jax, I think they’ll come away with the W.”—Lauren Ward
