MLS Week 5 Predictions

Friday

DC United 1 Orlando City SC 1 - Kaka is starting to get things going, but Orlando City still has things to fix before they become true competitors in the East.

Saturday

Toronto FC 2 Chicago Fire 1 - Toronto needs this win badly, and I have to think that their veteran leadership will make sure they get it.

New England Revolution 0 Colorado Rapids 0 - Hard to bet against a 0-0 tie with New England's attack struggling and Colorado having reeled off three straight scoreless draws.

Seattle Sounders 1 Houston Dynamo 0 - These are the kinds of games that we've become accustomed to seeing Seattle win. Even short-handed, they should be more than the Dynamo can handle.

Vancouver Whitecaps 2 LA Galaxy 2 - I don't see the Galaxy losing two in a row, but I don't see them playing well enough to knock off red-hot Vancouver.

FC Dallas 2 Portland Timbers 1 - Portland struggled to slow down Vancouver's offense, and Dallas's attack is far more dynamic. Darlington Nagbe will make sure Chris Seitz and the Dallas D doesn't get a fourth shutout in five matches.

Sunday

San Jose Earthquakes 2 Real Salt Lake 2 - RSL hasn't looked unbeatable, but here they are in Week 5 without a loss. Betting Wondo gets another goal closer to 100 here.

Sporting Kansas City 2 Philadelphia Union 0 - I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this is where Dom Dwyer gets his first goal of the season. Philadelphia just needs help and they're not going to find it here.

Last Week: 2-8 (DC United, Colorado-Houston)

Overall: 7-19 (I am NOT good at this...)
