After being off a week CPL Pick'Em is back! While I like this Spring season, it doesn't quite match up with my work schedule quite as well. We've had lots of teams drop for this week and even some drop for the season since we started. After making some calls I think all the games listed below will be played but with CPL until the opening kickoff anything is possible.
Fenger vs Bowen
I think this game may be off, but it's not CPL Pick'Em without the FINGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clemente vs North Lawndale
6 years ago this would have been North Lawndale in a blow out. 3 years ago Clemente would have given the ball to Baby Gronk and it would have been over. But this year there are a lot more questions. While Phoenix may not be playing this season, the North Lawndale Phoenix are, and you all better know the Phoenix is Risnig!

Sullivan vs Mather
I've had a few beverages at a bar called Sullys. Do these cheese breadsticks things called Sully's Sticks, they're pretty good. Know the guy who used to run Mather Park. Great dude, seems like he would be a lot of fun to bring to Sully's.

Julian vs Brooks
My little brother is named Julian. Brooks plays on Smurf Turf. I do love my brother but Smurf Turf is so much cooler!
Brooks by 35
Solorio vs Orr
Both teams have lost to Michelle Clark this year. Michelle Clark appears to be for real this year. The Firebirds vs the Row Boats will be an interesting matchup. I'm just hoping that row boat isn't made of wood or this one could be burned down quick.

Lane Tech vs Westinghouse
Thus far I have been impressed by the Lane Tech new coach. They lost a close game in OT to Taft Week 1 and pounded Sully Week 2. Westinghouse is 1-1 on the year with their loss to Phillips. This has been a crazy year. I've watched a lot of West Wing, there has been a lot of coverage about the White House, these sure seems like signs to me. Throw in their awesome yellow color rush jerseys!

Steinmetz vs Schurz
This is an old Big Shoulders matchup. Put in separate conferences this year I thought we wouldn't get the matchup but with teams falling out we get it back! This is a big time rivalry game. When Schurz and the Metz get together you throw out the records. Any matchup of the Silver Streaks vs the Bulldawgs is much watch, hopefully I can get a seat for this one.

Bulls Prep vs Von Steuben
Back in the day when my favorite CPL coach of all time, Alan Rood, was still at Von this would be my must watch game of the week! But the loudest man the CPL has ever seen has departed and now instead of my Game of the Week this is my lock of the week. The Bulls are back!
