I want to say that Chicago being +8 this time of year is the most shocking number but it isn't. The most shocking number is Connecticut being a -11. Smile

With Chicago and Washington both being much much better this year, other teams are going to pay for that and the impact will be felt mostly in the Eastern Conference. That said, I am surprised that Connecticut is bearing the brunt of it - would have expected it to be spread around a little more.

I'm surprised the Sparks are -1. Their play this year seems so much better than last year's team.

It was right about this time last year that they had that disastrous road trip where they lost four of five.

Their schedule should be more difficult than last year's listing, which was based on them being a lottery team the season before (2011). For instance, this season they have five games with Los Lynx. It's also very possible the post-All Star break loss to Tulsa would have been a win with a healthy Ace playing. Recall she was absent for that game and the following two due to bone bruise in her wrist.

Connecticut last year: Mike Thibault
This year: Anne Donovan

Obvious, I know, but worth repeating. And completely predictable.

This isn't the NFL. Strength of schedule has nothing to do with last year's performance. It's 4 against everyone in your own conference, 2 against everyone in the other conference, and 2 left over against random teams from your own conference. For instance, Phoenix, after finishing rock bottom last year, have their extra games against Minnesota and San Antonio this year (1st and 3rd in the West last season).

Things you can't say very often: Connecticut is likely to have a lower win percentage than Seton Hall.

The Sparks started out 5-4, since then they're 13-3, so they're trending upwards... that's why it feels like they're having a good season.
