Warrior General Games

Going out of town for the day, will be back later on tonight to finish my predictions. For now ill let you see what i've come up with. I have most of the Lion Conference completed and will finish the last 3 writeups tonight when I get back. Sorry Elephant Conference... I will be posting yours early tomorrow.


LION CONFERENCE



Togo Outlaws (1-0-0 W1) VS. Pretoria Pigs (0-1-0 L1)

http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=2842&team2=2848

Togo came out on top last week vs. solid Congo Chior Boys team. This week the Outlaws face off against the Pretoria Pigs and are looking to increase their record to 2-0. While the Pigs have a few high level players on both sides of the ball, I feel these playmakers just won't be enough to stop Togo. Offensively Pretoria looks like it just has too many mismatches for the Togo D to take advantage of. However, if the Pigs are able to get some quality drives look for their kicking game to come into play. Pretoria has a very solid front 4 on the D-Line, their secondary looks like it may have problelms stopping Togo if they decide to air it out.

Togo over Pretoria 34-10

Texas Armadillos (0-1-0 L1) VS. Congo Choir Boys (0-1-0 L1)

http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=2849

Last week's massacre left the Armadillo's with a big fat ZERO on the scoreboard when paired up agaisnt the Zanzibar Face-Eaters. They now travel to the Congo to challenge the Choir Boys. Granted Texas played a very well assembled Face-Eaters squad, there is a reason they weren't able to even make it worth watching. Texas just have too many rookie players on both sides of the ball to really put a dent into any teams in the conference this year. The Choir Boys are coming off a close loss to the Togo Outlaws and really showed the conference what theyre capable of on the ground. Expect another big day for the Choir Boy's HB's.

Texas drops to Congo 0-45

Botswana Bushmen (0-1-0 L1) VS. Pretoria Pittbulls (0-1-0 L1)

http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=2854&team2=2844

The Bushmen lost in a heartbreaker last week to the Ethiopia Devils and look ready to bounce back hard when they square off against the Pretoria Pittbulls. Danish GM HeinzMooser is still trying to recruit players from Denmark (they're obviously the best footballers outside of North America), but he's still got a long way to go. Unfortunately the Pittbulls still have too many holes that CPU's, regardless of level, will not be able to plug up. The Bushmen put up a great aerial assault last game, but look for them to try and mix in the run this week. Pressure on the QB this game may see some forced throws and a few interceptions by the Bushmen secondary.

Botswana over Pretoria 38-0

Impending Doom (1-0-0 W1) VS. Zanzibar Face-Eaters (1-0-0 W1)

http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=2853&team2=2851

Well Doom...you warned me. You called me out and showed up to play last week in a 27-9 win over Ivory Coast. The Doom will certainly have their hands full this week as they take on the Zanzibar Face-Eaters. While the Doom were able to move the ball around against the Wildcats, I don't see them having any success doing so this week. Zanzibar has a clear advantage on the defense, and will likely shutdown Imdending's offensive unit. ID doesn't match up well defensively with the Face-Eaters either. I think pressure on the Zanzibar QB will be minimal. Although owner GeauxSaints53 of Zanzibar opted to run a balanced offense last week, I think he may decide to pass just a bit more and challenge the Doom's linebackers and secondary a bit.

Doom drop to Zanzibar 44-9

Ivory Coast Wildcats (0-1-0 L1) VS. Djibouti Jackals (0-1-0 L1)

http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=2856

What happened 'cats? Thats ok, I still have some faith in you...some...


After losing last week to Impending Doom, you can be sure that Ivory Coast owner Empran and company are reviewing and retooling their tactics. Game two vs. the Djibouti Jackals will be a good opportunity to try out their new schemes. Credit to the Jackal's defense who was able to hold Niger to only 16 points last week, but that doesn't change the facts. Djibouti is another low level team that still has a long way to go before it will be able to contend with the rest of the league. Breaking .500 at this point will be a miracle. The Wildcats offense should be able to take advantage of Djibouti's weaknesses at most every position in their defense... pancakes-a-plenty. With only one player on the offense above level 4, I would imagine seeing a whole lot of blitz from Ivory Coast this game. Look for big numbers out of the Wildcat's defensive line and linebackers.

Ivory Coast over Djibouti 31-0

Tanzania Morning Wood (1-0-0 W1) VS. Zimbabwe Tigers (1-0-0 W1)

http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=2857&team2=2845

This matchup features two winners from game one of the season. Today Tanzania will travel to Zimbabwe to do battle with the Tigers. Both of these teams have great offenses, each blowing out their opponents last week by a combined score of 128-7! Although both teams also have pretty well rounded defenses, I expect this game to be a somewhat high scoring affair due to a few mismatches on either side. This game really could go either way, but im gonna pick the Tigers to take home the win, their scary good O line making the difference.

Tanzania drops to Zimbabwe 21-28

Rwanda HellFish (1-0-0 W1) VS. Niger Hitmen (1-0-0 W1)

http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=2850&team2=2852

The HellFish had one hell of an offensive showing last week in their game against Pretoria and will now travel to Niger to whack the Hitmen. The Hitmen did manage to pull out the "W" last week vs. a mediocre Djibouti Jackals team, but the HellFish are no pushovers. In last week's game vs. Pretoria, Rwanda's offense wracked up nearly 600 yards (360 of them on the ground). Look for the HellFish to exploit weaknesses in the Niger offensive line and stop their D line dead in its tracks. Maybe next time Niger.

HellFish over the Hitmen 28-9

Uganda Hawks (0-1-0 L1) VS. Ethiopia Devils (1-0-0 W1)

http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=2843&team2=2847

Uganda travels to Ethiopia this week to try and steal a victory from the Ethiopia Devils. Uganda's last game ended in disappointment as the Hawks were absolutely thrashed by the Tigers in an 86-0 blowout. While they have managed to replace all of their CPU starters with human bodies, they are just too low to compete with Ethiopia. The Hawks backfield will more than likely be under pressure all day from the Devil's D and will be unable to drive downfield for even a field goal. Meanwhile Ethiopia will just tear through anything Uganda's D can throw at them. Sorry Hawks... another blowout

Uganda drops to Ethiopia 0-49

ELEPHANT CONFERENCE

Mozambique Terror Squad (0-1-0 L1) VS. Cairo Mummy Warriors (1-0-0 W1)

http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=2866&team2=2869

Damn you Terror Squad... you messed up my perfect prediction! This week Mozambique travels up the Nile to face the Mummy Warriors of Cairo. Last week the Terror Squad struggled offensively. QB Daniel Mattisson was able to connect with WR's Big Fryer and Craig Firestorm, but wasn't able to generate any signifigant yardage through the air. The offense line allowed 5 hurries in total and 8 tackles for loss. While the offense needs some retooling, the Terror Squad's defense kept it close. Another solid effort from linebackers and secondary will be key. K Analingus Mcgoo will hurt the Mummy Warriors if he gets close enough.

The duel in the desert is over, and Cairo has come out with the "W". HB's Sherbert Saucer and TD goals annihilated Luxor on the ground for a combined 232 yards and 1 TD a piece. Goals had a whopping 14 broken tackles in a single game. I would expect much of the same in this game, but now that Cairo is matched up agaisnt the Terror Squad's stronger defense it wouldn't surprise me one bit if QB Joe Montana 16 starts looking to his TE's and WR's. Cairo will be giving the Terror Squad plenty of headaches on the D. Look for Mozambique QB Daniel Mattison to be under A LOT of pressure this game.

Mozambique is a solid team, but I do not feel the Terror Squad's O will show up to play today. Im taking Cairo in this one. Although I expect Cairo's offense to be challenged this week, I think the Mummy Warrior's defense will make the difference in this one and handle business.

Mozambique loses to Cairo 13-27

The Last Gunfighters of Texas (1-0-0 W1) VS. Cleveland Bombers (1-0-0 W1)

http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=2869&team2=2860

Our two misplaced American teams in the Elephant Confrence clash today! Both come in winners with a balanced offensive attack. Very exciting matchup here.

After a close but satisfying win over Mozambique, The Last Gunfighters of Texas (TLGoT) will be traveling to Bomber's Hangar Stadium to try and blunt the momentum of the Cleveland Bombers. While TLGoT's balanced offensive attack was only able to find the endzone once vs. MTS's defense, they were still able to produce 305 yards. QB Mark Brady was able to spread the ball around effectively while the HB's Mookie Charles and Mighty Malibu were able to effectively establish the run and keep those drives alive. This balanced attack may be enough to keep the Bombers guessing and get K Christoph Erber in range. Though TLGoT defense had a great game agaisnt Mozambique, the O/D matchup this week will be much closer. Big plays from DT Bukka White and DE Studly McStudskin could help the Gunslingers pull out a "W"

The 1-0 Cleveland Bombers have their heads held high after a 20-3 blowout victory over the Libya Dinosaurs. The Bombers were able to find their rhythm on the offense and, led by QB Tyler Holloway, was able to methodically pick apart the Libya defense. While they also made signifigant progress on the ground, the Cleaveland backs coughed up the ball four times. Two of those fumbles were lost to Lybia. Overall this balanced approach worked out very well for Cleveland with 322.5 yards to show for. While I expect the Bombers to stick with this balanced approach, Cleveland owner bluepike has plenty of confidence in this team and may throw us all a curveball. On the defense last week Cleveland really hammered the Dinosaurs, allowing only a field goal. With solid play from veteran DE Jordan Wai and LB Micheal Jays, the Bombers could emerge victorious.

This one is very close...but im gonna take Cleveland over TLGoT. Both teams seem to be running a balanced offensive attack, but I think Cleveland's slight defensive edge is what will put them over the top.

TLGoT drop to Cleveland 10-17

Lybia Dinosaurs (1-0-0 W1) VS. Egypt Dragons (0-1-0 L1)

http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=2873

Lybia had the misfortune of having to play the Bombers in it's season opener only to lose 20-3. Now they find themselves on the road agaisnt arguably the best team in the league. The Cleveland Bombers were able to hold Lybia's offense in check, and team Dragon is likely to do the same. C Patty "Cake" Pancake and company will have a hard time protecting QB Some Pig. This will be critical. Although Some Pig was not hurried last game, he threw 2 interceptions. His backup, QB Mike A7x, was sacked for an eight yard loss. Although Lybia's defense put out a decent effort last week with 4 tackles for loss and 2 forced fumbles, they allowed too many big playes to sneak through. That 20-3 loss should have been much closer. I suspect tactics played a part in this, but in order to hang with Egypt this week Lybia owner jbutchs and the DC can't afford those tactical mistakes.

The Egypt Dragons seem like the team to beat in the Elephant Conference and owner sniper24 wants to make sure you don't forget it! Breathing easy after nearly being upset by the Casablanca Golden Eagles, team Dragon now faces off against the 0-1 Lybia Dinosaurs. Led by the arm of star QB Jake Palmer, the Dragons threw for 218 yards against the Golden Eagles. The offensive line racked up 37 pancakes, 19 of which came from OT PJ Battle. Until Egypt runs into a secondary that can challenge their pass attack, you can expect to see Egypt rely on the pass. Egypt has a very well-rounded defense that is capable of hanging with pretty much any offense in the league. LB Tristan Hill had a great game against the Golden Eagles and should do even better against Libya's front 5.

Lybia has a good looking squad, but until I have a reason to believe otherwise...the Dragons are the team to beat.

Dragons over the Dinosaurs 38-0

Casablanca Golden Eagles (1-0-0 W1) VS. P-Town Ballaz (0-1-0 L1)

http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=2864&team2=2871

All I can say is wow...I really underestimated the Golden Eagles. Hats off to bignasty31 and company. Even though you lost you held your own against one of the powerhouses in the league and proved why we WILL be seeing you in the post season. Game two agaisnt the P-Town Ballers should be an easy victory for Casablanca. With an offensive line anchored by veteran G Chunky Assmunch, QB Sparxs McLuvin will just have more than enough time in the pocket to dismantle the Ballaz defense. Look for TE Kellen Winslow to have a big day today.

Ballaz owner dhammonds has really got his hands full this week. Coming off a loss to Gunston, P-town now faces a Golden Eagles squad hungry for a win. The Ballaz were able to generate some some decent yardage through the air with QB Chaddy Bledsoe, but were unable to establish their ground game. CB Prime Time Hammonds and LB Ballaz Hammonds played well vs. Gunston and will be key in the Casablanca matchup. These two starters are absolutely critical if P-Town even hopes to put up a fight defensively.

In the end P-town might surprise us on the offensive side of the ball and put up a few. However, their defense just cannot hang with the Golden Eagles (or any team for that matter).

Casablanca over P-town 35-3









Prediction Record: 14-2

Thanks for the predictions! I do enjoy reading them and listening to your opinions, breakdown, and analysis.

I don't know if we can win against Zanzibar. They are a great team and will be a great challenge that my players and I are looking forward to, but this game won't be a blowout. We'll beat the 35 point spread for sure! I look forward to earning your respect each week.

Good luck to all teams!

Yeah, alcohol + forums = win

I would pick Tanzania to beat Zimbabwe.

Algeria's looking to turn a win this week, using our depth against a depth-less team on both sides of the ball. I predict .500 for the Dune Hoppers after tomorrow, WOOT!
