THE LIGHTNING ROUND--WEEK 6

Last Week--32-8 (.800)
Year-To-Date 100-45 (.690)

September has come and gone! October has arrived! That's not to mention the leaves have fallen off the trees, and are various shades of red, orange, and yellow. Which can only mean one thing. Nearly all teams have segued from their non-conference schedules, and moved into the all-important stretch of the season known as conference play. It's games like these that can make or break a team's season. Having said that, let's move quickly into this week's predictions.
