Eric Harris yet again impresses us all, picking seven out of the ten results correct, moving himself into first place with 62% of the picks correct. Second place is a two way tie at 57% between Rohit Menon and Jaymes Grider.

The surprise pick our of all ten games that were played this weekend was the Toronto-Philadelphia draw. Most of our writers picked Toronto to win that matchup but Andrew Atkins, Nathan Reynolds, and Gareth Wolff predicted the draw.
