2016 NLL Picks and Power Rankings: Week 5

If there was ever a team to end Colorado's chance for perfection this early, it would be the defending champs and holding Adam Jones to just one point is a great way to do it (Something the Bandits failed in Week 3). Georgia winning two along the two typical toppers of the East is always a good weekend while New England continues to show momentum signaling a lot of movement in the rankings.

Week 5:

1. (4) SASKATCHEWAN - Silence Adam Jones, usually a good way to start a winning streak.
2. (1) COLORADO - Can't say it's a surprise, but can't say they should've lost either.
3. (7) GEORGIA - Impressive performances to get the weekend double.
4. (6) NEW ENGLAND - Nice stick ceremony for JT prior to solid Black Wolves performance.
5. (5) CALGARY - Got a fight from Vancouver, but want revenge on Rush.
6. (2) BUFFALO - It'll be nice to watch the "Champion's Night" festivities...
7. (3) ROCHESTER - Not taking advantage of Bandits loss.
8. (8) VANCOUVER - Looking like same team from last year with minor improvement.
9. (9) TORONTO - History repeats itself with rock experiencing 2015 Rigger Syndrome.
