I am stealing this format from kitty_bintingot. He has run the WSS (West Suburban Silver) weekly Board for years. I really enjoy what he's done and I really appreciate the respect for each other that everyone has on that board. With that, let's give the format a try with the DVC. I have a son in the DVC fyi:

I will calculate each weeks picks for W's/L's. Make it fun and don't be too much of an idiot!

Week 6 - DVC - You see, in the DVC, you have no idea what you get from each team, week to week. Not any one team in this conference is unbeatable. Look at the 1st two weeks....anything can happen.

Matea Valley at Naperville North

Matea, coming off a great game vs. Dekalb will give the recently energized Huskies of Naperville North a run for their Money. With that, the Huskies are also coming off a horribly officiated game (for both teams) in which they more than belonged against Naperville Central. Everyone expected DeKalb and Naperville Central to blow-out Matea and Naperville North, respectively. Well, both upsets could have happened.

Naperville North 28 - Matea 21


Waubansie Valley @ DeKalb

Waubansie Valley, coming off a pretty bad loss to Nequa Valley, and a horrible loss to Naperville North, is poised to bounce back. Teams have let downs after big games. DeKalb did after the Nequa Loss when they played Matea. It's Waubansie's Turn playing at DeKalb:

DeKalb 35 - Waubansie 21

DVC GOW: Naperville Central @ Nequa Valley:

Nequa has played at a high level all year including the understandable let down vs. DeKalb after the Incredible East St. Louis Game. Nequa has a total performer at QB in Granowski. All they do is score, score, and score. Pretty awesome offense and very well coached team. Naperville Central is in desperate need of a win, playing away from home, on a sloppy grass field against a team that seeks revenge for last years horrible and stupid loss at NC. A loss at Nequa pretty much means no playoffs for Naperville Central. This is an easy pick on paper. BUT......NC has a weird component to them. The "transfers" need time to gel and figure things out. NC beat a Naperville North Team last week thats a lot better than people think. There is no way NC should win this game. With that, the DVC GOW goes as follows:

Naperville Central 35 - Nequa Valley 28

Add-In Game (former DVC members only): Lake Park @ Glenbard North:

Weber field will host two teams fighting for a playoff birth after HORRIBLE 2018 campaigns.

GBN 21 - Lake Park 20

Any comments/criticism/compliments are welcome. Keep this thread respectful....read the WSS Week 6 thread if you want to know how to be respectful. Nobody here has a crystal ball...it's just a point of view and wisdom...right or wrong.

The instructions are to make it fun. Nothing more fun than applying CPL Pick 'em rules to a different conference! Now if we can get these games to start at 4pm today or 9am tomorrow, we will be in business. To the Picks!


Matea Valley at Naperville North
Every time I see Matea Valley, I see Metra Valley. Betting on a team named after a train seems like a solid pick. Matea Valley leaves the station with a win!

Waubansie Valley @ DeKalb
The nickname of the DeKalb teams is the Barbs. It's pretty awesome that a team is named after the movie Barb Wire starring Pamela Anderson. Pamela Anderson has been an inspiration to a generation of young men. Don't see any reason to pick against her. Barb Wire runs wild!

Naperville Central @ Nequa Valley
The last three times I was in Naperville, I got sidetracked at The Lantern. Place is awesome. Too many bros for my taste, but those dudes get intimidated by a guy drinking Old Style. Take Central to leave the light on at the Lantern to celebrate a win.

Lake Park @ Glenbard North
Glenbard North is a wrestling school. Tough. Gritty. Mean. Lake Park sounds like a place where Buffy and Thurston would go on vacation. Take Gold Dot Nation.

You don’t know what to expect from DVC teams week to week you say? Sounds just like CPL so I’m in!

Metea Valley vs Naperville North
Looks like you all have spelled Metea Valley wrong, not sure if that means I should pick them since they’ll feel disrespected or what. This DVC stuff is confusing. When in doubt look at the mascots. Mustangs vs the Huskies. I can deal with being called a Mustang, but I am not husky, I’m just big boned!
Matea/Metea whatever it is I pick them!!

Waubonsie Valley vs DeKalb
I saw earlier in this thread that DeKalb is the barbs. When I think of barb I think of that dumb barb wire tattoo. Thank god people stopped getting that tattoo. They did stop getting that tattoo right?
Waubonsie Valley wins!

Naperville Central vs Nequa Valley
Nequa Valley has a kid named Granowski. You know what that sounds like? Gronkowski! In the CPL you never pick against little Gronk, seems like a good strategy again!
Nequa Valley is the pick

Lake Park vs Glenbard North
Don’t like Glenbard North, never have. They are good at wrestling though. Lake Park is the lancers. Lancers make me think of Lance Harbor from the greatest football movie of all time, Varsity Blues. How can I pick against the whip cream bikini?
I can’t, Lake Park for the win!
