no rankings or major writeups here because nothing tangible has changed that can be seen until games are played since my preseason power rankings. that being said, usually you can expect a power rankings every other game, and at least detailed predictions in most other weeks.
again this is a brand new league for me and i dont know many of the teams well. scrimmages only tell so much about a team so i still havent seen anything real to base these off of too much.
i see it as alpha going 11-5 in week one. could swing a win or so either way though.
The Drunken Potato Farmers at Lyon Winemakers
-Preview: The two BBB league champions from season 7 face off in game one of season 8. I think Lyon is a shade stronger, but these two teams are very evenly matched.
-Prediction: Lyon
Venice Freebirds at Amsterdam Magic Dragons
-Preview: Blowout.
-Prediction: Amsterdam
Newark Nomads at Newcastle Seahorses
-Preview: Newcastle lost to a very good and a good Zeta team in scrimmages. Now they meet a great Zeta team, and I do not think it will be as pretty as the matchup would have you assume.
-Prediction: Newark
Arlington Avalanche at Victoria Assassins
-Preview: Arlington doesn't seem to be all there, so I think Victoria is able to come away with this one easily.
-Prediction: Victoria
Dresden Destroyers at Monte Carlo Red Glare
-Preview: The former Stuttgart Stallions get a new name, and the Red Glare in week one. Monte Carlo can't hang with the strength of one of Alpha's best.
-Prediction: Dresden
Stockholm Dynamites at Bordeaux Carlin
-Preview: Blowout.
-Prediction: Stockholm
Barcelona Assassins at Bolderslev Pirates
-Preview: Bolderslev loses what should be a very entertaining game, and then gets the three best teams in Zeta to follow up. Could this be the beginning of an 0-4 start?
-Prediction: Barcelona
Hell on Turff at Chrulle Mavericks
-Preview: Blowout.
-Prediction: Turff
Oslo Norsemen at Stockholm Assassins
-Preview: Blowout.
-Prediction: Oslo
Madrid Pirates at Achei Crotone
-Preview: Blowout.
-Prediction: Madrid
Arlanda Jets at Amsterdam Red Lights
-Preview: Blowout.
-Prediction: Amsterdam
Berlin Spartans at Tulsa Doom
-Preview: Berlin's patchwork defense will not fly against Tulsa.
-Prediction: Tulsa
The Berlin Wall at Helsinki Hitmen
-Preview: Should be an entertaining offensive shootout with two below average defenses, but Helsinki's offense is much better and gets the win.
-Prediction: Helsinki
Jacksonville Jackalopes at Palmetto Gamecocks
-Preview: Jacksonville's smothering defense will have a field day with Palmettos mediocre offense.
-Prediction: Jacksonville
Krakow Knights at Stockholm Storm
-Preview: Blowout.
-Prediction: Krakow
Atlanta 404 at Louisville Cards
-Preview: Both defenses are inferior, should be a fun game to watch, but Louisville has it in my mind.
-Prediction: Louisville
