2016 NLL Picks and Power Rankings: Week 12

Only three and a half back with eight weeks to go, Calgary can make a push for the division lead, albeit the teams ahead of them have at least a game in hand. But that win over Colorado at home though. Can they do it in Colorado this weekend? Not sure if Edmonton's even gotten more than 19 goals in a game (2014 would be closest, you'd think if they have), but it sure was a doozie! Perhaps they'll meet Rochester again in the final... Speaking of, Rochester may just have one more push for a playoff berth left in this group.

Week 12:
1. (1) BUFFALO -  Taking smiling lessons from the Grinch.
2. (3) SASKATCHEWAN - Not adjusted for inflation.
3. (4) CALGARY -  Can you smell what the 'Necks are cookin'?!
4. (2) COLORADO - Mammoth still in shock, back end of home and home on back end of Riggers' road trip.
5. (5) TORONTO - First trip to the SaskTel will be interesting...
6. (8) ROCHESTER - Clawing their way back into looking like the K'hawks of old.
7. (6) GEORGIA - At least home arena isn't as bad as rest of Atlanta metro's sports venues to match. Still many home games left.
8. (7) NEW ENGLAND - NLL slots need to be made for Mohegan Sun - each machine payout different based on specific player's salary.
9. (9) VANCOUVER - Finally showed significant offense, but let Rush light up 24 in Batley's first game in charge.
