This is the interconference week, so should be able to say a lot about if Zeta really has balanced the league's power out, or if it will be another year of Alpha dominance.

Burlington Blue Devils at Chambersburg Trojans
-Preview: Evenly matched, should be a good game. Burlington isn't a known quantity at this point. Both played well enough to win their first scrims, Chambersburg however didn't. I'm flipping a coin and going with Burlington here.
-Prediction: Burlington 37-21

Stockholm Lions at Cologne Ghosts
-Preview: I don't think the new and improved Lions have the firepower on defense to stop Cologne. Upsets are always possible though when Cologne is concerned.
-Prediction: Cologne 51-21

Atlanta 404 at Stockholm Dynamites
-Preview: Clearly the game of the week. Both championship contenders draw each other in week one, no time is wasted before this bloodbath. I think Stockholm has the better team, but Atlanta's chemistry might tip the scales toward their side.
-Prediction: Stockholm 27-24

Hamburg Vipers at Lyon Winemakers
-Preview: Blowout is the forecast.
-Prediction: Lyon 77-7

Birmingham Polipocs at Liverpool SEA Fusion
-Preview: another evenly matched game. I don't trust Birmingham until they show me they can win vs. decent teams. Neither scrimmage they have played was against a quality opponent.
-Prediction: Liverpool 34-17

Helsinki Hitmen at Southhampton Shadows
-Preview: Blowout.
-Prediction: Helsinki 70-0

Glasgow Vultures at Denver Hounds
-Preview: Denver is going to try to work there way back into the league's elite with this one. The overall numbers are close but I think they will be misleading as to how the game will end up.
-Prediction: Denver 47-28

Berlin Blitz at Athens Devils
-Preview: Another awesome matchup for week one, good slate of games overall. Both teams have potent offenses, and defensive questions. This should be a very entertaining, high scoring game.
-Prediction: Berlin 54-45

Mannheim Spartans at Capeside Minutemen
-Preview: Two awful teams. Mannheim is less awful I think.
-Prediction: Mannheim 40-0

Gonadian Knights at Baden Bandits
-Preview: Blowout.
-Prediction: Baden 77-10

Reading Armed Centaurs at South Beach Sea Hawks
-Preview: Yet another closely matched game. I think its a tossup but South Beach has the stronger defense and higher chemistry.
-Prediction: South Beach 34-24

Norwich Nighthawks at Luxembourg Lightning Bolts
-Preview: Another tossup here, although I do think that Norwich has less holes.
-Prediction: Norwich 34-30

Middlesbrough Mayhem at The Fantasy Helmet Project
-Preview: Blowout.
-Prediction: Middlesbrough 63-7

Milan Eagles at Barcelona Dare Devils
-Preview: Chemistry and overall talent swing Barcelona's way in this one.
-Prediction: Barcelona 45-24

Barcelona Panthers at Dusseldorf Noobs
-Preview: I think this one doesn't look like its going to be close at all. Barcelona's offensive line has serious issues that will keep its defense on the field early and often.
-Prediction: Dusseldorf 35-10

Sexintown Rubbers at Flat Packed Monkey
-Preview: Messina has a new name, and a lot of CPU players. Sexintown had better win this one or they really can never be taken seriously.
-Prediction: Sexintown 47-0

Yeah thanks for the offensive props but allowing 54? really? Glenn wont allow it.

i think berlin has a decent chance to put up serious points if they air it out a bit. your secondary doesnt really hold up as well as the rest of your d. it could go either way, it could be an offensive shootout or a defensive standoff. with so many teams different than they were last year, i really need to see how a real game goes before i can make even close accurate score predictions. i just think its fun to include a score prediction so i did it :-)

im glad you guys enjoy, ill try to see if i can find an hour or 2 this weekend to research and get game 2 picks in. if not ill be ready to go and back from my vacation for game 3.

Fair enough, and good points, I wont be here to see the game first hand tho (or my shiny new offensive game plan mu-ha-ha-ha) unfortunately I gotta put family before GLB

Stockholm Lions at Cologne Ghosts
-Preview: I don't think the new and improved Lions have the firepower on defense to stop Cologne. Upsets are always possible though when Cologne is concerned.
-Prediction: Cologne 51-21

I can see the Lions are getting no respect. Thats ok. respect is earned not given. We are going to have to knock some heads around to get it.

Sorta feel dissed by that comment. We played like crap early last season when we had no passing game, but I do believe we beat 2 teams last year that had overall +3 to us. Upgraded GMs, new owner, and upgraded roster...keep underestimating us.

Oh and a lot of us havent even boosted yet.
