Oregon Ducks vs. Home Town Shockers
Oregon is quietly going about their business. They have outscored their opponents 376-63. I guess you could say their opponents have a combined record of 4-12, but Oregon does this every year. Regardless of any of our opinions Oregon is playing a team tonight that is 0-4 and gives up on average 60 ppg while only scoring 6.
Home Town will continue their offensive struggles in this one, and Knob McDude is going to have another huge day. Keep in mind that McDude is now averaging 628 yards passing per game. Oregon 84-10
USAORG Exiles vs. Space Coast Storm Surge
This is a battle of two teams that are 0-4. The Exiles come into this game having been outscored 146-10 in their last 2 games. Space Coast comes in having been outscored 96-15. It really is tough to get a good feel for what will happen in this game.
Space Coast gets mos to of their offense through the air. That can be a little misleading because they have had to pass. Their HB's haven't been able to get much going, but if they are to pull this one out tonight they have to run the ball well. Most teams that have played the Exiles have found room to run, and it is going to be important that the Storm Surge establish a running game.
Willie Beamon accounts for a lot of the Exiles offense, but again this is a bit misleading because of where the Exiles have found themselves in most games. I think that this one will come down to who can establish the running game. Both teams are probably going to have to overcome some TO's in this one.
I really don't have a feel for this game one way or the other, but neither team can really afford to be sitting at 0-5. I am going to go with the Storm Surge in a close one....Space Coast 28-24
TCC's Wax-Bustin Warriors vs. Megatropolis Tigers
Megatropolis is coming into this one having dropped their last two games. The Wax-Bustin Warriors come into this game feeling pretty good about how their team has performed so far.
TCC's QB Jim Warrior comes into this one averaging 271 through the air, and their HB Demarcus Tribble is rushing for over 300 yards per game. This team has yet to be really challenged, and when they got down 21-3 after the 1st quarter in their last game they outscored their opponent 70-17 the rest of the way. This team can put points up and in a hurry.
Megatropolis has run the ball well even in defeat, but will have to get a passing game going to have some luck against the Wax-Bustin Warriors. Their HB Gwen "Legs" Stefani is rushing for 339 yards per game, but it will take more than that to beat this team. I win tonight for Megatropolis would really shake things up in the top half of the league, and would give them a signature win early in the season.
I just think that when you combine the way the Wax-Bustin Warriors have been playing with the way Megatropolis has been it points to a win for TCCWBW. Wax-Bustin Warriors 56-17
Eleven Wise Monkeys vs. Miami Sharks
This is Miami's last really big game before they get a much more manageable schedule. After the close game against Seattle the Monkeys really haven't been challenged. I think the Sharks can be much more competitive then the last couple games.
Eleven Wise again brings their balance into this game with QB Happy Madison and HB Big Red Stomper. The Monkeys also have 4 WR's that average over 40 ypg. That means they can spread you out if needed, and run you over as well. It just makes a team that much harder to defend. Their defense has given up less than 10 points in 3 games. This is just a complete team.
The Sharks are really just looking to regain their footing. Even though this team is sitting at 1-3 I think they will compete for a playoff spot. They just had a tough schedule to start league play. Their backfield is still very dangerous with the combination of Tyrone "Tank" Jackson and Adrian Petrerson. Combined they rush for over 270 yards a game. When you combine that with their QB Sammy "The Samurai" Slade who throws for over 240 yards per game you have a pretty balanced offense. They have actually put up some points and yards, but haven't been able to get the stops when they need them the most.
I don't see the Sharks getting the stops they need tonight either. They will score some points like they always do but Eleven Wise will just be too much in the end. I am going to call for a decent size victory by the Monkeys, but I think they will give up their 2nd largest point total of the season this far. Eleven Wise 56-21
Seattle Reign vs. Colorado Storm
Seattle is quietly making their move up the standings. Their two losses came against teams that are undefeated to this point. The Storm are headed down, and don't look like they really care at this point. With a roster made up of almost all CPU players this looks like a team that wants to be relegated.
"Handsome" Rob could run for 700 yards in this one if they wanted to, and their QB Mack Walters can pad his stats as well. Maybe after this game instead of his average of 391 passing yards per game he will be over 400. Enjoy the break guys. Seattle 154-0
Columbus Buckeyes vs. Compton 'nilla Wafers
This one has some potential. Columbus better not overlook Compton just because they are sitting at 1-3. Compton has an underrated running game that can keep them in this game. Columbus has to feel good about being 4-0. This team doesn't hide who they are. They basically tell you they are going to run the ball and you are going to like it. I really like that approach to this game.
Everything for Columbus starts up front. I am talking about the hog maulies. Let's get these guys some press. Everyone of their top player threats is an offensive lineman. Guys like Center Centurion, Andre El Gigante and Bob da Beast Sapp make it easy to run over that right side. They have 3 players that get over 14 yards per carry a game, and each of those players averages 8 ypc or more. That doesn't even sound right. This is where it begins and ends with this team, and like I said they don't make it a secret.
Compton can jump out and get you, and actually starts up front with these guys as well. Levi Brown III is a mauler and has been dominating this league for a long time at his LOT spot. Robinson is an underrated QB. He does just enough from time to time to keep these guys in some close games. Compton will have to get their running game going tonight to have a chance, and Robinson has to be good not great. The offensive line is going to have to give him more time and let him feel comfortable in the pocket. That has probably been one of the biggest problems for them this year. They are giving up an average of almost 3 sacks a game and over 5 hurries. If they use their running game to set up some short passing situations they could pull a much needed upset.
All that said I think in the end Columbus' rushing game will be too much, but much like the Bristol game this one is going to be close. Columbus 35-24
****GAME OF THE WEEK****
Louisville Nighthawks vs. New York Warriors
Evidently these guys have some kind of history. I like both of these teams, and think both will most likely make the playoffs. The Nighthawks are really rolling and sitting pretty at 4-0. The Warriors don't look bad either coming into this game at 3-1.
For Louisville it all starts with their passing game. Snake Stablerr completes just under 70% of his passes, and he has thrown for 15 TD's compared to 1 int. I almost forgot to mention that he throws for 288 yards per game. They also come into this game averaging 66.5 ppg. On defense they are going to find out just how good their secondary is tonight. Having not really been tested up to this point in the season they will find out tonight if it is a strength or weakness. With the meat of their schedule still to come they can certainly expect many of those teams to pay close attention to what happens tonight.
The Warriors are a lot like the Nighthawks. Their QB Josh Chambers throws for over 300 yards per game, and he too completes a high percentage of his passes at 67.8%. As good as he is their depth at WR is the scariest thing. I really believe that you have to run the ball against the Warriors to shorten the game and limit possessions. Their WR depth is hard for most teams to match up with, and they have to like their matchup against the Nighthawks of their WR corp against their secondary.
This is spread vs. spread. This is like Missouri vs. Texas Tech in terms of passing attacks. These two teams completely ignore the idea of when you throw 3 things can happen and two are bad. They want to turn this game into a high scoring affair, or at least on their part. I think where you attack the Warriors is on the ground, but the Nighthawks might show us you can do it through the air as well. You can run the ball against both teams, but against Louisville I think a passing attack is needed because if you are deep enough at WR you can really create some mismatches. I think this one will go down to the wire......Warriors 45-41
Oregon is quietly going about their business. They have outscored their opponents 376-63. I guess you could say their opponents have a combined record of 4-12, but Oregon does this every year.
