Here are this coming week's games and match ups! Only one surprise this week, and it was a big one. Everyone was holding status quo, except for the Semper Saints and Deep Creek Grizzlies. DCG picked up their first win of the season (congrats!) while Semper Saints fall even lower in the standings in a stunning upset.
Last weeks match ups: 7/8

Week 12 Match Ups
Bold = who I'm reasonably sure will win
If both are bold = I have no idea who'll win. ** is my guess.
The game that's italicized is the Game of the Week, imo
1.) Mississippii Mud Dogs (11-0) vs. Deep Creek Grizzlies (1-10)
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=7881&team2=7756
Nothing really new to say here. They've got the the #1 spot locked up unless something really catastrophic happens. The Grizzlies have just earned their first win of the season, but just isn't ready to hang with the big boys.
2.) Cleveland Warriors (10-1) vs. Sarasota Demons (4-7)
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=7725&team2=7628
The Warriors continue to roll after hitting a speed bump that was MMD. This match up looks to be more of the same. The Demons have had one helluva tough stretch in their scheduling, and unfortunately for them, their current losing streak looks to remain intact.
3.) The Agency** (9-2) vs. Woodland Wildcats (7-4)
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=7889&team2=7738
The Agency held off the Wolfpack in their last game to hold onto the #3 spot. They face off this week with a team that has potential, but has also been wildly inconsistent this season (they had close loss to the Warriors 6-7, but lost to the Broncos 21-28). The question comes down to what Wildcats will show up for this game, and it's a big one - a win here would help keep them in the playoffs.
4.) Chicago Terminators (8-3) vs. Semper Saints Jr. (3-8)
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=6771&team2=6850
The Terminators get a break in scheduling and have a soft team on their plates that will only help strengthen their their position in the standings. The Semper Saints have had one hell of a rough season and at this point are mostly likely out of playoff contention. They are another team who's losing streak looks to continue. Hopefully, they can get their act together next season!
5.) Chicago Mobsters (8-3) vs. Thunder Bay Wolfpack (8-3)
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=6830&team2=7799
In the battle of teams with the same record, I have to go with the Wolfpack. The Mobsters have built up a record beating up on softer teams, and have failed to put up much resistance against more established teams (they were shutout by MMD, the Terminators and the Agency), while the Wolfpack has shown some grit (close game with the Agency and the Philly Pitbulls, and scored on MMD). It'll be a close game, but I'm expecting the Wolfpack to come out in the end .
6.) Chico's Bail Bonds Bears (6-5) vs. High School of Georgia Wildcats (0-11)
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=6875&team2=7754
Though the Bears' winning streak was snapped by MMD, they have earned a playoff spot. The key for them is to hold onto it now, and the game against HSGW should help them tighten their grip on the spot. However, with Deep Creek's recent upset against the Semper Saint's, the Bears might have to double check a few things before writing off HSGW.
7.) Philly Pitbulls (5-6) vs. Madison Stronghorns (0-11)
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=7872&team2=7483
The Pitbulls keep their playoff hopes alive with their latest win, and couldn't have asked for a better team to strengthen their sprint for a playoff spot. The Deep Creek Grizzlies did prove though that nothing is ever for sure against a zero-win team...but the Pitbulls will be ready.
8.) Blackfoot Broncos (4-7) vs. Bowling Green Fighting Pups (3-8)
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=7648&team2=7779
After an impressive win against Woodland, the Broncos took a step back by being shutout by the Warriors. Bowling Green has a bit of momentum going into this game, but the last time they faced a legit team (MMD), they were shutout. This looks to be an easy game for the Broncos, but I think it will be closer than most people think.

Though I'd love to see how everything turns out. Considering the teams that will be left here after this season, I think S#4 is gonna be a pretty tough place to be, esp. in the West.
