FRESNO FIRE (11-2) at OMAHA INVADERS
Broken record time - Omaha just doesn't have the horses this season.
FRESNO keeps the heat on for #2 seed - 136-10
ACTUAL: FRESNO 135-7
-----------------------------------
RIDERS ON THE STORM (1-12) at OMAHA MAVERICKS (10-3)
Another easy call. Mavs are a team to watch out for.
OMAHA beefs up the record 186-0
ACTUAL: OMAHA 136-0
-----------------------------------
PONTIAC WAR KITTENS (11-2) at JACKTOWN SMACKDOWN (11-2)
Game of the week IMO. Sim sez: Jacktown edge on rushing and passing, Pontiac edge on rush D, Blocking, Kicking. Is it skill vs. Trenches/ST? Jacktown is getting a ton out of players that are levels lower than opponents - build/gameplan? Clarence JHR Hotep is a hurrying bastard, McGillicutty brothers and cousins are producing all over the roster, HB has ability to break a long one (seen in scouting), 3 guys over 1000 receiving...Pontiac counters with a bigass OL and a running attack that could wear down the lighter DL and LBs of Jtown. Blocke Head is pounding the edge on defense and not just against the patsies. These are the picks I hate but get paid the big bucks for.
PONTIAC gets it by a cute little whisker 34-30
ACTUAL: PONTIAC 30-27 WITH 9 SECONDS LEFT!
------------------------------------
DC SONICS (7-6) at RENO MARAUDERS (6-7)
Major playoff implications on this one. With 4-5 teams bottled up within a couple wins lots could happen - some luck out with scheduling, but hope srpings eternal. So what about this game? I think DC's defense is going to get tested FS looks light, DEs should not take advantage of Reno's lower level OTs, LO at DT are light. Reno's lack of strength in the run game could let DC load up on the pass though. I see DC's WR Moshen having a big game.
Still, I'm putting it all on Black and calling it for...
RENO 27-24
ACTUAL: RENO 19-17, 4TH QUARTER SCORE WITH 5+, FORCED A PUNT WITH 2:31 LEFT
----------------------
OLYMPIA DOLLAR NINETY NINES (7-6) at SAN JOSE CHUPACABRA (7-6)
Another big playoff seeding game. SanJoey has been crusing against the bottom tier while Olympia has been running a 3-game gauntlet of playoff teams, gogin 1-2. This one is HUGE for Oly and one wonders if the tougher tests have prepped them for another showdown or if they are shaken. Benefit of the doubt on Oly, they'll slug it out to the bitter end. Chupacabras won't go without a blood-curdling wail though. A big key fpr SJ is if Sipowicz can eat up Albertson at RT. In the end I think Oly has the edge on teh defensive front, secondary and TE could be a big producer.
OLYMPIA makes the most of its budget 38-14
ACTUAL: SAN JOSE 27-13. DAMN THOSE SAN JOSE %^&%@#&%S!! OR MAYBE IT'S OLY I SHOULD BE PISSED AT?
--------------------------------------------------
ALLEN CPU ZEPHYRS (2-11) at BAY AREA BASTARDS (2-11)
Uh...Jeff Faine vs the Zephyrs? based on BA beating Cinci and CInci beating Allen,
BAY AREA has a pride parade 28-24
ACTUAL: BAY AREA 18-13
-------------------------------------------------
LOS ANGELES MAJORS (8-5) at NORTH BY GAWD TEXAS TORNADO HUMPERS (13-0)
Humpers 255-10 in a defensive meltdown.
I don't like that Okenfold guy. He makes me nervous
ACTUAL: HUMPERS 47-13
-------------------------------------------------
CINCINNATI CPU STALLIONS (2-11) at THE MILITIA MINUTE MEN (2-11)
The Minute Men could use a nice three-game run to build off of for next season. This game shoudl get it started nicely
MINUTE MEN mount the Stallions (the right way) 44-10
ACTUAL: MINUTE MEN 66-17
Did I remember to leave out DC?
7-1 THIS WEEK, ONLY GETS TOUGHER.
