GAME OF THE WEEK

Atlanta Wolves v Da NOLA Brah!!! K&B Purples
Two 4-1 teams square off in what should be a very competitive game between fairly even opponents. Atlanta crushed Da NOLA last season, but things are different now Brah. Both teams beat up Buffalo and both got rabbit punched by Furious. I think Atlanta's offensive is a bit more explosive and those mystery VAs will come into play once again. Atlanta 38, Da NOLA 21.

OTHER GAMES

Furious George v Bowdoin Polar Bears
Bowdoin is off to a fairly decent start, but they won't be in the playoff race. The main question is not whether Furious will lose at some point but whether anyone can even keep it close. Furious 115, Bowdoin 7.

Maine Hawks v Buffalo Beasts
Buffalo got in the win column finally last time out, while Maine has been there all season. Maine just has too much in all 3 phases for Buffalo. Next week at Furious will be interesting. Maine 55, Buffalo 17.

Montana Grizzlies v Manhattan Massacre
Montana has only been challenged once this season, while Manhattan has been on a journey back to respectability. This is a nice example of how "useful" scouting bars are in that Montana is a far and away better team, though the bars say otherwise. Montana 45, Manhattan 10.

Martha's Vineyard Ballbusters v New Orleans Poison
MV is very quietly staying towards the top of the standings. Martha's Vineyard 200, New Orleans 0.

Pittsburgh Powerhouse v Welsh Dragons
I really like this game. It is a great "dividing line" game in that we find out exactly where in the pecking order these guys stand. The loser most likely will be out of the playoff race early. Pittsburgh has defied my picks early and often and Welsh is really just getting started. I think Pittsburgh's d-line makes just enough plays to win. Pittsburgh 27, Welsh 24.

Vice City Mambas v Detroit Outlaws
VC has just been brutalized by upper tier teams the past 2 games, while Detroit has shown they are the king of their town, but still get killed against the elite. VC is probably a lower level playoff team, while Detroit is just outside looking in. Vice City 42, Detroit 21.

Detroit Diablos v Houghton Gremlins
Detroit wakes up from their nightmare against the Outlaws and gets back to .500. Detroit 150, Houghton 3.

Hope we show up in our second game of the week, the first one was embarrassing. Should be more fun than our last game onepeat, hopefully the results are the same with a less lopsided score

you guys are good, really good. There is no answer for that damn returner! He is the tea baggins of punt returns.

I think you guys are gonna beat us by a pretty good score. It will come down to depth, which you guys have a ton of and we are still not really developed. We will not be able to really compete until season 11 or so...

no, I was referring to the furious team initially, then to your team. you guys are the second best team in the league behind furious. we are around 6-8...

Yeah, their ST's are sick. I've known our biggest weakness was ST's for a while and we got better this offseason, but they just embarrassed us. 6 TD's off returns or forcing fumbles from our returners and taking them back for TD's. Of course that means our "strength" (ie offense and defense) only allowed another 60+ points to them.


We'll see about the second best team thing. Montana and Maine will have something to say about that, as well as a few other teams. Thanks for the vote of confidence though.
