This week I thought it best if I post my predictions for all to read and comment on…..this could get ugly! If you want to comment or give me feedback, please feel free to email me!

Like I normally do on the podcast, I elaborate on my reasons for my predictions.

However, since I have to get ready for the game myself, I am pressed for time  today so I will give you the abbreviated rendition of my predictions.

In any case, I will give a score and one or two reasons as to why I think it will happen…..here goes!

Real Salt Lake @ Toronto FC-  Most interesting game of the week should end in a Tor win…They have 7 wins at home this year to RSL’s 2 road wins…Add to that the fact that RSL have only celebrated 9 away goals while giving up 23 this year and it looks like a difficult task to overcome.

Chicago Fire @ New England Revolution- I think a draw is most likely to happen in this one…..Chicago doesnt need the points as much as NE do, and NE cannot afford to throw away a point at home.  Not sure on totals but 1 to 1 or 2 to 2 sounds good to me.

Columbus Crew @ DC United- I am going to take DC in to win by a goal…..When was the last time DC didn’t make it interesting down the stretch?  This is a playoff game to DC, who can pack for the off season if they let this one slip away at home.  Nothing against CLB but they just don’t have as much to play for…..and no don’t write me that the Supporters Shield is more important to them than the post season is to DC United!

Seattle Sounders @ Kansas City Wizards- I am taking SEA to win by 2 goals in this one.  They have a very physical back line and a great deal of size for set pieces.  On the little field in KC I think they will have a great advantage because of this…..also they are still within reach of home field advantage if they win their final two games the other results go their way…..in other words they legitimately have something to play for!

Colorado Rapids @ FC Dallas- This is my second game most important game on the weekend as the result will clearly end the season for one of the two teams….and a draw could end it for both!  I would  not be suprised to see a shoot out down in Frisco and a final score of  3 to 4 or even more than that if Dallas get an early goal.  I am not sold on Dallas but Col has not won since the fifth of September….I’ll take Dallas in a heated  red card home game.

San Jose Earthquakes@ Chivas USA-  For me this one is academic, not trying to be mean and with all due respect SJ is out gunned due to two MORE injuries this week to Jason Hernandez and Chris Wondolowski.  Plain and simple I take Chivas to win.

Los Angeles Galaxy @ Houston Dynamo-  As I always do with my team I plead the fifth.  If I have to guess…well you know what I am thinking!
