Weekly game predictions from the Crystal Bastard Ball.
Week 3 Picks It’s not looking good for the teams in Canada’s two largest cities. They better start winning or the league is going to get a lot smaller. Edmonton @ Winnipeg: Thursday, June 27 (8:30pm EDT) Pick: WinnipegIt’s very possible that Edmonton will upset (they did last year) but it’s time to believe in…
