Here's a look at the upcoming games today. Tune in later to see the results of these matchups.
Alpha Conference Games
Judah Lions (3-4) at Amsterdam Fire (5-2)
The Lions journey to Amsterdam with a two-game winning streak, while the Fire have dropped their last two games after starting the season red hot.
Paris Penguins (1-6) at Barcelona Bulls (4-3)
Paris has had a tough time finding the win column this season. It doesn't get easier this week as they travel to face a solid Barcelona team.
Ljublana Chamois Scabs (5-2) at Liverpool Scousers (5-2)
Two 5-win teams face off in Liverpool. The Scousers return home and look to bounce back from a dismal performance last week.
Rotterdam Harbourmasters (6-1) at Zurich Gnomes (1-6)
The Gnomes got their first win of the season last week. They like it and look to add another this week. The visiting Harbourmasters look like more than they can handle though.
Tilburg Fighters (1-6) at Cherry Valley Wizards (1-6)
Tilburg travels to play the Wizards. Both teams have struggled to get on track. Cherry Valley has dropped five straight, the longest current losing streak in Alpha.
Berlin Blitzkrieg (2-5) at West Yorkshire Bling (4-3)
West Yorkshire has played excellent football this season and looks to build on their modest win streak with another one today against the visiting Blitzkrieg.
Massillon Grizzlies (5-2) at Madrid Hares (1-6)
On paper, the Hares look to be outmatched against the visiting Grizzlies. If they can't establish a solid running game, this one could get ugly.
Alpha Game of the Week
Whitechapel Rippers (7-0) at Scotland Celtics (5-2)
The undefeated Rippers make their way to Scotland this week to take on the Celtics. The Celtics will try to pull off the upset by leaning on their running backs and a stingy red zone defense.
Zeta Conference Games
Liege Red Roosters (0-7) at Rockaway Knights (6-1)
The Roosters just don't appear to have the firepower to match up with the Knights, who have done little wrong in the early part of the season.
Downey Vikings (1-6) at Rome Bulls (6-1)
Two teams with mirror records of one another. The Vikings will have a hard time staying in this one with the 1-loss Bulls.
Camelot Kings (6-1) at Coppenhagen Razorbacks (0-7)
The winless Razorbacks are likely to stay winless as they host a very good Camelot team.
Hamburg Parrots (2-5) at Ironton Tanks (5-2)
Ironton's two losses came against teams with a combined record of 13-1 on the season. The best 2-loss team in A#2 shouldn't have much trouble with the visiting Parrots. Hamburg will have to find ways to get on the scoreboard early to have a shot at this one.
Gibraltar Wild Monkeys (3-4) at Chelsea Cardinals (4-3)
Gibraltar comes in as an underdog despite the similar records. The Cardinals need to limit their mistakes to avoid the upset.
Brighton Bears (6-1) at Helsinki Hammers (3-4)
An interesting matchup in Helsinki could go either way. The Bears are the clear favorite in this one, but the Hammers have the talent to stir the pot atop the Zeta conference standings with an upset here.
Eindhoven Breakers (2-5) at Bay Area Invaders (1-6)
The Breakers visit the Invaders with both teams already looking ahead to build a better second half of the season. The Breakers will try to do it on the back of Tyler Wilde, their talented running back, while the Invaders' quarterback Fiedler, leading the league with 12 interceptions, will try to avoid the mistakes that have plagued his offense thusfar this season.
Zeta Game of the Week
Munich Maulers (4-3) at Italian Stallions (7-0)
The undefeated Stallions play host to the Maulers this week. A talented team that has had trouble since moving from Cologne, the Maulers will need to play perfectly today to give themselves a chance against the top ranked Stallions.
