How will the Vipers do tonight?

Make your predictions, Who will win and what will be the final score?

Not that I am wishing the Vipers lose the game but, if they did, would that not force the owners hand to make some drastic changes????

I hate to say it but Bulldogs 3-1

ron said...

Home town pick. 6-2 Vipers

Marty said...

Vipers win 5 - 0. Vipers are horrible but Blackfalds are even worse.

Bingo said...

I love to say it but Vernon vipers 3-0

If at any point in the season the Vipers desperately needed a win, tonight would be that game. Just because Blackfalds has two wins, in no way does this mean tonight is an automatic two points for the Snakes. Two teams at the bottom of the standings and struggling this season. Vernon has lost ten of there last fourteen games, while the Bulldogs have lost twelve straight. The Bulldogs last win was a 4-3 win October 26th over the Brooks Bandits.

Go Vipers Go!
