2016 NLL Picks and Power Rankings: Week 3

Rochester getting back to a business as usual mentality with the double in the home-and-home with Toronto. Good opportunity to steal a home win for the Bandits with Rock winless through three games played. With the overtime win over Buffalo, the Mammoth stay perfect at three wins though former Canisius College standout Adam Jones had a sock trick of sic goals that almost went to the wayside. Vancouver was the surprise of the week, but maybe they are back to being competitive again.

5. (7) CALGARY - Looked like last week's Bandits, good defense, not getting shots to fall.

8. (4) TORONTO - Lost the home and home in league's current number one rivalry.
9. (8) GEORGIA - Almost doubled up at home after huge win against TO - looks like a long season.
