This is a 10* MLS GOW on the Whitecaps.

We're just at the start of the MLS season, so often its best to look at "external" factors to come to a decision, and for a variety of reasons, I feel this one sets up really well for Vancouver to win in regulation.

And when you take into account the reasonable price, all of these factors collide to have this play my MLS "GAME OF THE WEEK" status!

Charlotte FC managed a 1-0 win at home over NYCFC but didn't travel well last year. A game on the West Coast of Canada on Saturday doesn't bode well facing this Vancouver side that opens the season with a favorable matchup, before hitting the road for two straight.

Look for VANCOUVER to figure out a way to get the job done this weekend in regulation.

Good luck, NP
