Jul 7 8:38 PM - mark your rationale is detailed and your logic is sound. except for the part where the desperados went 15-1 this season.
so yeah. as usual, i'm doing the opposite of what you say.
Destroyers vs. VigilantesJul 7 4:11 AM - chairmanlau Destroyer (n.) - a person who destroys or ruins or lays waste to.
Desperado (n.) - An extremely reckless gambler.
I don't know the teams or even what sport this is, but the names make the "who you got?" choice a no-brainer.
But the fact that I'm the only one betting on the Destroyers does make me a little nervous...
