Early season thoughts

An intriguing early season in WPSL and W-League, much more competitive than one might have thought.
W-LEAGUE
Atlantic Division
In a mediocre division Atlanta, Richmond and Cocoa are the favorites.
Midwest Division
Probably the weakest division in the league. Michigan and Minnesota will fight for the first place again.
Northeast Division
Washington has been the outstanding team of the season so far. They have played the most stylish, entertaining soccer. Featuring by far the most impressive attack, at times Washington has blown teams off the field, and is a serious favorite to take the title away from Vancouver.
Northern Division
Ottawa will win it again.
Western Division
Without Canada WNT, I really didn't expect much from Vancouver, and they've fully achieved that. Newcomers San Diego just might do it.

WPSL
East-North Division
The main feature of this division is that it is so tightly contested. This is by far the most competitive division in the league. Looks like New England is back, winning convincingly. Massachusetts and Long Island will not be easy.
Mid-Atlantic
Atlantic City is a shoe-in.
Midwest Division
Give it to one of the biggies; Indiana or River Cities.
South Division
In a division of minnows your guess is as good as mine.
West Division
Nothing ever changes here; California Storm or Ajax California will finish first.
