2 (4).... Geneva Plague (7-1)
3 (3).... Austrian Eagles (7-1)
4 (2).... New Orleans Bayou Bengals (6-2)
5 (5).... Glasgow Bravehearts (4-4)

14 (14).. Madrid Strikers (1-7)
15 (15).. Marseille Hitmen (2-6)
16 (16).. Leipzig Lava Flow (0-8)
Valletta has defeated every other top 4 team in their last three games. It's pretty much a given that they'll finish on top of the conference at the end of the season. The Bengals dropped 2 spots but have yet to play Geneva and Austria.
Berlin surprised Stockholm last week and won 35-34 but that might be too little, too late to enter the playoff race.
Alpha Games of the Week
#4 New Orleans Bayou Bengals (6-2) vs. #7 dax atlantique storms (5-3)
The two most talented teams will face off in this game. The Bengals will showcase some new players for the first time against the Storms. The rest of the league will watch closely to see how good their newcomers are.
New Orleans is clearly the favorite to win this battle but their complete lack of chemistry might keep this game closer than they'd like.
My prediction: New Orleans by 10
(there's only one game this week that qualifies as GOTW in my opinion)
