Benin Black Mambas (3-5) L1 vs. Madagascar Grand JagerMenze (3-5) L2
This game features two bubble teams (Benin has a very small bubble!) fighting for their playoff hopes. Both of them have pretty tough schedules to finish off the season so I don't really like either of their odds, but you never know. Benin got embarrassed last week by Michigan...at least Madagascar has been competetive in all their games and could be in a lot better shape than they are if not for some unlucky breaks. For that reason I think Madagascar is going to win this one in a blowout.
Madagascar-63 Benin-24
Madagascar Wild (6-2) L1 vs. P-Town Ballaz (4-4) L2
The Wild are probably pretty angry after their kicker missed an extra point that could given them a shot at overtime last week against Freetown. Look for them to come out swinging against P-Town and pull away from the Ballaz early, never looking back.
Magagascar-42 P-Town-21
Egyptian War Gods (6-2) W1 vs. Cardiff Cobras (6-2) W6
Possibly the game of the week here as Cardiff attempts to prove itself against another quality team in Egypt. I'm torn on this one because I did say I would pick against Cardiff until they lost, however that doesn't seem to be working very well. So I'm going with the jinx this week...
Cardiff-31 Egypt-17
Uganda Crowned Cranes (4-4) W2 vs. Michigan Nation (7-1) W2
Michigan has a solid team, there is no denying that. However the scrappy Crowned Cranes don't back down from anyone! On paper Michigan should win this one, and in reality they probably will. However I like to throw in an upset, and Uganda really needs this win if they want to make the playoffs so I think they'll put together the perfect gameplan and pull it off with a last second field goal! Either that or Michigan will win by 14+
Uganda-41 Michigan-38
Mauritius Mountain Lions (6-2) vs. Freetown Jayhawks (6-2)
Freetown is coming off a huge win against the Madagascar Wild last week and look to build on that against another tough opponent in the mountain lions. This should be another great game this week that will guarantees a loss for one of these two loss teams. I never pick against my Jayhawks though so Freetown wins!
Freetown-38 Mauritius-31
Savanna Pride (2-5-1) L5 vs. Rhodesian Ridgebacks (0-8) L18
Savanna needs this game to figure some things out. They'll need to if they want to make any noise in the second half of the season.
Savanna-214 Rhodesian-7
Lethoso Rollers (2-6) W1 vs. Ethiopian Food Mongers (1-7) L7
Ethiopia has been a huge disapointment this season. Zimbabwe is good, but losing 93-10 is just embarrassing for the level of players on their team. Lethoso got off to a rough start, but they might be able to claw their way into the #8 spot of they finish strong. It won't be easy. Today's game on the other hand, will be.
Lethoso-70 Ethiopia-21
Zimbabwe Hyenas (8-0) W8 vs. Ivory Coast Breakers (1-6-1) L6
Zimbabwe should keep rolling and move to 9-0 against the overmatched Breakers. As I've said in past weeks, they just don't have the defense to stop anyone. Zimbabwe will run up the score in this one and Pierre Thomas will continue to rack up yards and TDs.
