As I ponder this week's matchups, I am reminded by the great Aristotle, who once wrote, "All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, and desire."
DB vs. LD - Chance - With most of her players' games at noon, LD can start composing her ode' early Sunday afternoon!
My prediction: DB in a romp
RB vs. JG - Nature - It is in JG's team's nature not to win another game this year. :p
My prediction: RB in a romp
PL vs. DJ - Compulsion - Look up "compulsion" in the dictionary and you'll see plaw's pic right next to it! :p
My prediction: Plaw's lookin' mighty tough these days
TU vs. PP - Habit: Turi is making winning a habit while PP is going the other way.
My prediction: PP's luck changes this week as Turi is severely hurt by the bye week/suspensions.
IM vs. BD - Reason: "We cannot have knowledge without reason, just as we cannot have reason without knowledge." Funny, BD's posts lack knowledge AND reason. :p
My prediction: BD in a romp
FC vs. SP - Passion: Both have shown great moxie this year. SP's team is coming back in full force. FC's team is strong as always.
My prediction: Too close to call.
And finally, Desire...
My desire to beat Buffy this weekend is as big as her... :p
