THANK GOD! Finally a Day off. I'm sorry I haven't done these lately folks, 9 days straight of work, sucks arse! I only did a few games this week, was hard to choose them, (not sure I even feel like my game is the GOTW, but wasn't sure how good ANY of the Alpha games would be this week)
Games to Watch
Balanced Game of the Week
Nottingham Hoods @ Auckland Old Gold & All Blacks
The Hoods have done fairly well for themselves this season, they’re within fighting distance of a playoff spot, the Hoods have a fairly easy finish to their season (with an exception in Lavastorm & Auckland). They have got to finish it off, but so does Auckland. Auckland has a very tough finish to their schedule. So this game could help determine the final seeding, as well as, potentially, a team or two dropping out of or lifting up into the playoffs. Every game counts and this one is no different.

Powerhouse Game of the of the Week
Olden Swillers @ Mata-Utu Voodoo
Voodoo has pretty much steamrolled everyone this season. Still top 5 nearly everywhere statistically. The Swillers are toting around a Top 4 Offense, and while their season started out with a ‘bright’ look to it, they could at least, (or at worst) get some morale points here with a win over Voodoo. I’m not saying anyone should be expecting it, but upsets aren’t impossible, it just takes even better gameplans, but the Swiller Defense is going to have to step it up if they even want a shot in this one.

Oceania Pro Alpha ‘Blitzorade’ Game of the Week
Williamsport Soul Reavers @ Cascade Cajun Crushers
This game plots a very underachieving Offense & climbing Defense against a top rated O & D. The last time WSR faced a team of this caliber they had faces nearly permanently implanted into the turf. Obviously CCC is obviously the favorite here and for this to truly be a GOTW, WSR is going to have to prove they can sustain consistent offensive play to match up against the Behemoths in the Alpha conference. CCC has nothing to prove, being 11-0, they’ve already near proven it. WSR on the other hand, has a lot to prove. Can WSR stand up to the behemoth this week? Or will CCC just claim another victim?

Oceania Pro Zeta ‘Tostito Goal’ Game of the Week
Kingston Uprising @ Florida Frenzy
This is Florida Frenzy’s chance to make a strong statement and gain some ground in the seeding races. Beating Kingston would be a huge win and great achievement on what has been a middle of the road Pro Season. Both teams are doing well statistically, though Kingston has done better in the win/loss column. The true matchup here may be Kingston’s Passing O vs. Frenzy’s Passing D. (#17 vs. #8)
