MLU Week 3: Games to Watch


Oh hey there Ultimate Fans! I didn't see you come in! I was busy reading over last weeks installment of MLU Games to Watch. You know, the one where I swept the weekend picking two upsets, SUPER close to the actual score? I mean really, it's no big deal. But just since we'e on the subject:

There!

Now to try and bring it to 4-0, I give you the Sports Pro and the Average Bro MLU Games to Watch in Week 3!

East

The East is Rematch City this weekend! Two of the great games of Week 2 will be replayed in enemy territory. And since last week I picked the stunner in the Nations Capital, this week I'm heading a bit north to Philadelphia.

MLU Week 2: Games to Watch



After an exciting Opening Weekend in the MLU, teams brushed off the rust and set their sites on their Week 2 Matchups. After a surprising Portland Stags win last week, they get the week off, but the rest of the league will be vying to be undefeated or to even up their record.

Let's look at the games to watch in the MLU:

East

There's a rivalry a brewing as both the Boston Whitecaps and the DC Current come off wins in week 1. Both teams shamed their opponents showing that they had a superior game plan from start to finish. A big difference between their games was Boston's ability to finish. DC let Philadelphia stay in the game far longer than they should have. Like I wrote in my DC vs. Philadelphia recap, the teams were pretty unevenly matched and, though the score was close, the game was pretty one sided. But that doesn't mean Philadelphia didn't have plenty of chances to pull away. Boston put the Rumble to bed early and piled up on them after that. They struggled somewhat on their one possession scores.
