Lock of the Week

I've been a little busy and I haven't been able to update the blog lately. Is that not to your liking? No? Well, deal with it!

Anyway, last week I started doing Serie A predictions for the new season. After I posted my selections, I got a list from my brother Joe, so we decided to do a little competition.

I ended up edging Joe out in the opening week 5-4, but now we've added a new wrinkle to the competition; the "Lock of the Week" (pictured).

Let's see who knows more about Italian soccer this season.

On to the predictions for Week 2, which features the big derby between Inter and Milan on Saturday. Remember, 1 means home team, 2 means away team and X means tie. The Lock of the Week is designated by the *.

  1. The way things are looking through two Champions League matches and one Serie A match, shouldn't the lock of the week be for Fiorentina to draw?

  2. I actually think they'll win this one at home.

  3. Well, I chose a draw between Fiorentina and Palermo, but I didn't choose it as a lock because I can totally see Palermo beating Fiorentina this weekend. Fiorentina has looked kind of slow in their 3 games thus far. So if Palermo comes out flying, I can see a 3-1 victory happening.
