Alpha Rundown
This week will leave a serious impact on the playoff match-ups, and is by far the biggest week thus far in the Alpha Conference. The obvious match-up of the week is between the top two teams in the conference, Sin City and Barcelona. One of these teams will suffer their first lost of the season, and the projector says that team will be Barcelona. Not to be forgotten, Livorno, the other unbeaten Alpha team, has its toughest match-up yet as they go against a tough Irish Car-Bombers team. There is potential for two undefeated teams to fall this week if the Car-Bombers pull out the upset against Livorno, but they'll have to go against the predictor's odds to do so (althoguh it's projected to be a very well-fought game). The other game of note this week pits the Moscow Communists against the surging playoff-sleeper Monaco Mustangs. Monaco is looking to to distance themselves from the pack of 4-6 teams for the sole 8th spot, while Moscow is looking for a quality win to shush the skeptics. The predictor give Monaco the edge, despite their record... Hamburg is looking to snap their 3-game losing streak, and they have the gift of playing the winless Pepperoni Naples. Glasgow and Verviers should have little problems winning thier matches this week, and the final few Alpha games aren't that enticing.
Zeta Rundown
The Zeta matchu-ups this week certainly aren't as exciting as Alpha's, however it has its share of important games. First off, Matterhorn looks to hand Normandy their first loss of the season, although the predictor is saying it should be relatively smooth sailing for the Invasion. The Marmots will have to play their best football of the season to beat Normandy this week. The Algarve Sharks, the only other Zeta unbeaten, should easily rack up thier 11th win of the season against the Zabrze Warriors. Salt Lake City looks to continue their dominance as they take on the Middlesbrough Mayhem. It's predicted to be an easy match for the Utah. Meanwhile, the Missouri Quicksand look to add to their impressive win-streak against the Worms Bulls, as they've surged to the top half of the play-off seedings these past few weeks. It looks to be another win for the Quicksand this week, too, as they keep pace with SLC. A little further down the standings, the Kickback Cavaliers have a much needed easy match-up against the Capeside Minutemen, as they suffered a crushing defeat to the hot Quicksand last week. The Antelope Valley Isotopes have a harder match-up against the Edinburgh Highlanders, a scrappy team who still has a lot to play for despite last week's defeat at the hands of Salt Lake City. They'll need to upset the Isotopes this week if they want a good shot at keeping up with the surging Cybertron War Machine, especially considering the War Machine have a comparatively easy match against the Bedrock Stone Giants. The battle of the Knights is relatively uninteresting, although it should be an easy win for Constantinople as Baltimore has yet to show any threat of winning a game this season.

That concludes this week's post! Good luck to all teams this week
EDIT: Friday's scores are up.. Sorry about the delay, I was with some family until pretty late tonight. Projector didn't do as well, going 14/16 and being a little more erratic on the projected scores... Update should be up by 3:00am EST
