To end the bitter arguments of threads past, Remmy and Kyle present to you our Week 2 predictions.
Naugatuck at Torrington: The battle of the week. On paper, the Hounds look good. However, in person, they looked like a shoo-in for the NVL championship with the skill players they have. With what everyone saw by Berger, Freeney, and company, I'm not so sure this team can be stopped. Contained--now that's another question.
Picks: Kyle- Naugatuck, 40-14. Remmy- Naugatuck, 36-28.
St. Paul at Holy Cross: Probably the second-most important game of the week in the NVL. St. Paul surprised me in how good the Falcons looked on offense and how well they seemed to replace some heavy graduation losses. The Crusaders will need strong contributions from DiClementi and DiGiorgi as well as good defense to win this one.
Picks: Kyle- St. Paul, 34-28. Remmy- Holy Cross, 30-21.
Seymour at Watertown: Seymour's QB Luke Grabowski has the potential to be a big-time player. But it doesn't look like he has the athletes around him to make this team score points. Watertown is a contender. This would be the upset of the week if the Cats are able to pull it off.
Picks: Kyle- Watertown, 48-13. Remmy- Watertown, 40-12.
Sacred Heart at Derby: Derby had a rough week up in Bristol. I think this week only gets rougher for the Raiders, as they will be without their star, Tomczak, for the second-straight week. The home crowd will not like this one.
Picks: Kyle- Sacred Heart, 42-20. Remmy- Sacred Heart, 45-27.
Wilby at Wolcott: This one could get ugly in a hurry. Wolcott looked as strong as ever according to reports from Killingly, especially with Bonvillian's five touchdowns. The defense was stingy yet again. This should be another warm-up for the Eagles before their first real test of the season against Woodland next week.
Picks: Kyle- Wolcott, 55-6. Remmy- Wolcott, 44-8.
Kennedy at Woodland: Woodland looked better on offense than expected in last week's barnburner of a loss to Ansonia. Kennedy was disappointing on both sides of the ball in a loss to Watertown. The loser of this one is probably out of the Copper Division race.
Picks: Kyle- Woodland, 42-24. Remmy- Woodland, 31-18.
Ansonia at Crosby: Crosby made a bit of a comeback in the second half of the loss to St. Joseph last week, so maybe the Bulldogs have a little momentum heading into this one against Ansonia. Frankly, the Chargers didn't look quite as good as some expected last week against Woodland, showing a very vulnerable defense.
Picks: Kyle- Ansonia, 41-27. Remmy- Ansonia, 32-26.
