No time for the full monty, so this is just the down and dirty. Snark will return when time does the same.
Comoros Killer Whales vs. Namibia Wildehond - Bad Doggies made me a believer by spanking the Empire with aplomb. Free Willy is making a good showing for their first season in AA, but good showing may or may not be enough for a playoff spot.
Prediction: Bad Doggies send Free Willy back to the water park
South African Ratels vs. Quiçama Park Rangers - Neither the Jellystoners or the Rabids have hit their stride yet. Both are on the verge of having every game become a must-win. Both are also on the verge of becoming a must-beat team as well. Aside from being at the top of the league, it's not a bad place to be. Should be entertaining.
Prediction: Rabids, but it won't surprise me if it goes the other way
Madagascar Serpent Eagles vs. Tanzania Lumberjacks - Noaheli and Aenigma will probably punch me if I say "Gauntlet" again, but that's what their season is right now - game after game of big-time nasty games for the Flying Snakes™. Woodys tried to pawn off the bullseye, but after last week, it's right back where it belongs. I love it when every game is tough like this.
Prediction: Woodys just keep on choppin' em down
Ghana Ashanti Empire vs. Zambezi Silverbacks - Played one of the greatest games in GLB history in Season 5 with the Big Monkeys winning 34-33 on a FG with five seconds left. Tons of respect both ways. Make your own pick here.
Pullman Sinsations vs. Gabon Glocks - Tuggers get the freebie and a chance to catch their breath.
Prediction: Duh.
Djibouti Booties vs. Durban DesertHawks - Dessert Carts keep rolling and keep looking sweet, but how long will it last? Da Booty has put themselves in win-now mode. If Da Booty shakes it, this could be a good one.
Prediction: Dessert Carts make the booty call
Zambia Zombies vs. African Fever - Hotheads have that massive winning streak going. Ungrateful Dead are getting a rude introduction to AA and Those That Came From The Best Expansion Conference to Our Collective Knowledge. They're not a bad club - they're better than almost every A team, but not quite ready for this AA conference. Kind of like an A+ kind of deal. Too bad this game won't grade out that way.
Prediction: Hotheads toast some flesh
Comoros Lions vs. Monrovia Blood Diamonds - Another game that could be good but that I just don't see happening that way. The Big Hair Kitties fit right with the Ungrateful Dead and the Tuggers and probably Da Booty if they don't stop just standing there and looking delicious as A+ teams. Bloody Mess proves it's not just DJ Padding their record every time out with the way that defense performs.
Prediction: Bloody Mess gets messy all over the Kitties
Sorry about the lateness and the brevity, all, but it's in 2 minutes before gametime, and that's all that really matters, right?
Play nice.
