Week 4 results
Memphis beat San Diego, and my pick was Memphis+6.
Orlando beat Salt Lake 20-11; my pick was Salt Lake+4.
San Antonio beat Birmingham 12-11; my pick was Birmingham-7. That makes Orlando the last undefeated team.
In perhaps the most surprising result of the week, and the one that makes me look the worst, Atlanta beat Arizona 14-11. (Remember that I switched my pick to Arizona-13.5.)
Another 1-3 week puts me at .333: 4-8.
Week 5 picks
Orlando at Birmingham (Orlando -3.5)
The Apollos are still the best in the league, and Birmingham has been struggling with quarterback play lately. Weather in Birmingham is expected to be bad on Saturday, which will likely dampen the Apollos’ offensive firepower, but I still think they’ll be able to carry it by more than 3.5.
Salt Lake at San Diego (Salt Lake +6)
Quarterbacks are even harder to come by in this league than in the NFL, and San Diego lost their starter last week.
Memphis at Atlanta (Atlanta -1.5)
I’m happy with Atlanta-1.5 in this one—Memphis got their win last week because San Diego’s starting QB went out.
San Antonio at Arizona (San Antonio +2.5)
Riding high, San Antonio seems well positioned to beat a recently-struggling Arizona.
