Philly @ Atlanta 7pm - Philly is less a hot and cold team and more a lukewarm one. Their defence isn't all that good still though. Yes, Atlanta is tired and without Almiron, their real MVP. But they still have enough in the tank to see off Philly.
What we want - A Philly win
What will happen - Atlanta wins 3-0
NYCFC @ Montreal 7:30pm - Montreal's 5-2-3 had only partial success against Atlanta. It held them for much of the game but couldn't get any purchase going forward. NYC doesn't have the two strong DM's that Atlanta has and that will be enough in another must win game.
What we want - a draw
What will happen - a 2-1 Montreal win
DCU @ NYRB 7:30pm - The red bulls are in a serious funk. They put a lot into winning the US Open Cup and failed. DCU always plays them hard. BUT, this is the sort of game that Marsch is good at getting his guys up for.
What we want - a DCU win to dishearten who we play on Saturday
What will happen - a 2-1 NYRB win
NER @ Orlando 7:30pm - Orlando is a mess. Their best defender off with a red doesn't help. NER still has hope. That hope lives for another day.
What we want - NER to still have hope before they play Atlanta on Saturday
What will happen - NER wins 2-1
Colorado @ Dallas 8pm - Gosh, Dallas has been awful. The blame should be firmly laid at their managment for trying to sell off two good players during the transfer window. Colorado though is just much worse.
What we want - doesn't mean anything for us really
What will happen - Dallas needs to win out and will at least get this one. 2-1 for Dallas
LAG @ Houston 8:30pm - LAG is the worst team in the league. Houston is better and needs these points badly.
What we want - come on, we all like to see the mighty arrogant ones get killed off
What will happen - Houston wins big - 4-0
Chicago @ SJE 10:30pm - Chicago is going to make the playoffs but its a big question now whether they even get a home game. SJE's defence is too static for a fast wing based attack.
What we want - an SJE win
What will happen - 2-0 for Chicago
Vancouver @ Seattle 10:30pm - Game of the Night - Sure, Vancouver is good, but can they get away wins against big motivated rivals? Both teams badly want a win. There really is no
What we want - a draw so nobody gets rolling heading into the playoffs
What will happen - my gut tells me Vancouver makes a statement here winning 2-1
What we want - A Philly win
What will happen - Atlanta wins 3-0
