My Picks for the 2007 Worlds

Last year, I predicted that Team Finland, skipped by Markku Uusipaavalniemi, would win. But early on, he injured his wrist, and the team faltered without him. In the end Scotland defeated Canada to win the championship.

This year, Team Canada, skipped by Glenn Howard looks absolutely unbeatable. I predict they will win the championship. Others who might do well are Team Scotland and Team Finland.

Once again, let me remind readers that CurlTV will be carrying the morning draws that are not being covered by TSN. We shouldn't have to miss a single draw (aside from having to work now and then)

Correction: It looks as if TSN will be carrying all the games of the round robin that involve Canada, and CurlTV will be carrying games from all the draws, but none involving Canada during the round robin. Here is the TSN/CBC schedule. And here is a list of the games that will be covered by CurlTV (including the afternoon seniors world championship on Saturday, March 31, between Hackner (Canada) and Prentice (Scotland).
