Pick: United States
On paper it doesn't look good. The International team is a true Murderers' Row (Els, Goosen, Singh, Cabrera, Scott, Ogilvy and Choi). They're deep, whereas the Americans are top-heavy and coming off another Ryder Cup disaster. Also, the Canadian crowd will be pumped, both by the presence of national hero Mike Weir and the loonie's recent rise on the U.S. dollar.

So why pick the Americans? Because we have a secret weapon: the host city. Montreal has the best nightlife of any city in North America. It won't be a problem for our guys because they'll be holed up in the rec room playing Ping-Pong, checking their investments or organizing a prayer group. But those International guys look like they like to have a good time. In Montreal they'll find it. I'm not suggesting Adam Scott (left) is going to pull a Bode Miller, but he and his teammates will have more on their mind than golf this week.
