Las Vegas Locomotives -7 points
over
California Redwoods
I was comped into this event - still, that did not tempt me to go, but after further review, I'm curious to see the spectacle - a new league --- so, of course, I had to make a wager on it. So, I looked into this contest and found something so that I could rationalize the wager to myself.
Here's my angle. Former NFL coach Dennis Green is coaching the California Redwoods -- and if that's not reason enough... The California Redwoods are owned by Paul Pelosi. Yep, that Paul Pelosi, as in Mister Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives. I'm looking for the Jim Fassel coached Las Vegas Loco's and quarterback J.P. Losman to win by two touchdowns over California here in Las Vegas tonight. Locomotives coach Jim Fassel wants to showcase Losman's talent and experience and play the sort of exciting, wide-open offense that Fassel oversaw when he coached John Elway at Stanford.
