Ted Jenner said it best: “I gotta make a major run eh…?”

Paulie Tuts did it last week and put himself right back in the mix, but Kojima and Ward are officially separating themselves from the pack, and the young ‘un has the momentum.

Here are this week’s games:

Friday
NY @ PHI (-3.5)
Saturday
CAL @ TOR (-1.5)
PHI (-2.5) @ BUF
ROC (-2.5) @ CHI
EDM @ POR (-2.5)

Picks and comments after the jump.

New York @ Philadelphia

“Friday night’s game will be a great one. Even though the Titans are playing some solid two-way ball, I think that AI and the rest of the Wings are the class of the league right now. A great game until another great fourth by the Wings.”—TED JENNER

“I just watched some clips online and remembered how explosive Philly’s O is.”—STEVE KOJIMA

Calgary @ Toronto

“Kelusky and Dietrich are both possible for this weekend, but the Rock need to keep pace in the East for a postseason slot.”—CHRIS HALL

“Calgary is one of the teams that makes these picks so difficult. If they can drum up a big enough lead like they did over Colorado, they can probably stave off a comeback attempt from the Rock offense.”—LAUREN WARD

Philadelphia @ Buffalo

“Like I always say, this is probably one of the hardest professional leagues to win two games in row, let alone in one weekend. I think Philly stomps the Titans on Friday, but can’t get it done in a hostile Buffalo arena. The Bandits have hit their stride and our firing on almost every cylinder.”—KEVIN FIXLER

“The Wings just have too much in all areas. The only factor here, of course, is the travel. Playing Friday and then having to be in Buffalo the next night isn’t easy, but I think the Wings can pull it off against a limping Buffalo team. The Wings have the tools to expose those injuries.”—BOB CHAVEZ

Rochester @ Chicago

“Rochester hasn’t played well, but neither has Chicago and the Knighthawks should win this on talent alone.”—BC

“In a laugher…”—JENNER

Edmonton @ Portland

“The Jax are starting to click and the Rush won’t do much to interrupt that.”—BC

“Portland’s playing well and even though they have three wins in the bag of late, two of them have been from punking the winless Rush. Think Rush players are gonna bring it even more than they did last week with a few guys jobs still likely up in the air in Hammer’s books. Plus Jenner’s the only Insider that actually takes the Rush on a regular basis, so hopefully this pick is another one that pushes me closer to the top of the charts too.”—PAUL TUTKA
