We've come to an interesting place regarding the playoffs. We've come to the second round, where the competition usually gets tougher. Then we have subtropical storm Nicole expected to hit the Carolinas Thursday and Friday. Because some games have been moved to Thursday, I'm doing the predictions on Tuesday instead of Wednesday.
This will make for an interesting week. How do you make predictions, especially when the weather could make a difference in some games? It's tough, but sloshing through the rain we will go.
Last week, for round one, I went 30-2 for the predictions. For the season I currently stand at 152-28. Not too bad of a record, but oh, the rain, the rain!
As usual in the playoffs, we can expect some surprises, but on the other hand, things may go according to what we expect. When kids are playing ball, we never know what to expect. Anyway, it should be fun. The predictions for this week are below.
