Once again, we were off the mark with our predictions. NYCFC took the lead from a trademark Tommy Mac upper 90 goal, but the debut of James Sands was sadly not enough to scare off the Colorado Rapids, as they scored an equalizer through Dominique Badji in the closing minutes. Unfortunately, another week to forget at HRB.
A quick refresher on how our prediction table works: a point is earned by getting the final score, outcome of the game, NYCFC Man of the Match, or first scorer correct.

This week, NYCFC will be facing the high-energy Houston Dynamo attack at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Connecticut. The game kicks off Saturday, September 23, at 3:00 PM.
A lot of us have New York City winning. Hopefully, with David Villa back, the commentators curse won’t strike us anymore!
