The Streak (1/14)

ESPN's Streak for the Cash game is possibly the most addicting fantasy sports game. For those of you who have no idea how it works, you pick a winner of a matchup during that day's sports lineup, hope to get it correct, and start a streak. Initially, the goal was 25 straight, but now, 27 wins are needed to capture $1 million.

Having played for a few months now and never exceeding five wins in a row, my resolve has been unwavering and I continue logging in every day, hoping to crack that number... then maybe reel off 22 more wins after that.

After incorrectly picking a soccer match to try to pick up a cheap W this morning, my pick for the night is Atlanta over Ottawa in NHL action.

The Thrashers just yielded eight goals in their last contest, but the Senators are the worst road team in the league. Atlanta hasn't played well at home, but they should pick up a win tonight.

And if you can squeeze it in, at 7:30pm, Golden State and Sacramento should go over 225 combined points. Orlando put up 139 on the Kings last night and Golden State has the offense and lack of defense to allow the Kings to put up a bunch of points as well.
