Soccer can be brutal, most sports one can look at the stat sheet & determine who won the game.
Soccer & to some extent hockey the lucky team can win.
To win it all a team needs a good coach, great players and some lucky bounces and calls...

@MakeAPlay why did you pick against Pepperdine

I know you watch a lot of women's soccer and I call you the Doris Burke / Stephen A. of the Forum

So why not Pepperdine this game

I'm going to forget the references because quite honestly they don't fit. However, in the last 8 years the Pepperdine/Santa Clara series has been quite consistent. The home team wins. No draws, no road wins. Good luck to all this weekend.

Why would I give you points for a team you picked against

Nope

Why would I bet when either outcome is a net zero for the team that I cheer for? If we are being honest Pepperdine is favored based on RPI and votes received. If we were being really honest it is even money in terms of players and coaching. I am just a student of history. You can't punish me for being informed.

If you want my action this is a pick em. I will take the home team. Your Phil's giftcard for a Benjamin and a Grant. I'll take a bottle of Patron Platinum. The ball is in your court sir.
