Since MattMan posted his predictions here, I'll post some for the Eastern Conference:

Viridian Vanguards @ Memphis River Rats
A season ago, this was one of the most highly anticipated games of the regular season, and the undefeated River Rats prevailed 37-24, despite Viridia QB Scott Adams' 3 TDs. The Vanguards come in today on a 5-game losing streak, and a win here would be huge. The River Rats have had their own struggles in the early going, but look for them to come out on top today: 27-6 Memphis

Philadelphia Wolves @ Tennessee Fury
The Wolves are on a rampage, but can they withstand Tennessee's Fury? This has the makings of a great matchup. The Wolves won last week forcing LLLL into FG attempts, and they'll need to do the same this week if they want to beat a hard-nosed Tennessee team. It should be a close one, but I think the Wolves' luck runs out today: 20-13 Tennessee

PTT Villagers @ New England Red Celtics
The Villagers have dropped 3 of 4 since their 3-0 start, and they'll look to turn things around today against the 1-6 Red Celtics. New England showed against the Wolfpack last wek that they're not ready to throw in the towel, so don't expect them to go quietly today: 16-6 Villagers

New Orleans Fanboys @ Dearborn Bullitt
The Fanboys have been on a tear since losing their first two games. The Bullitt have finally got something going, after an 0-5 start of their own. One of these teams will keep its resurgence going strong, and I've got to give the edge to the guys that already beat us: 27-6 Fanboys

Washington Slashers @ Washington Wolfpack
These teams are a combined 13-1, so you know there will be some fireworks in this intracity rivalry. The Wolfpack are the story of the early season in the East, having turned a team that missed the playoffs last season into an undefeated juggernaut. The Slashers are used to their place among the conference elite, and they'd like to climb even higher. With a team that leads the conference in total defense, will they have what it takes to slow the vaunted Wolfpack offense? I expect a great game, but the Slashers haven't faced a team this good: 20-16 Wolfpack

Jacksonville Demon Sweat @ Sconnie Badgers
The Badgers have looked strong in winning 4 of their last 5, including a big win over the previously unbeaten Wolves, and their 65-0 win last week over a Langley team that already bested Jacksonville does not bode well for the Demon Sweat. 56-0 Badgers

Langley Raptors @ Lizard Lick Lizard Lickers
Lizard Lick, one of the preseason favorites in the East, has had a disappointing start this season, but Langley may be just the medicine LLLL needs, as the Raptors' last two losses have come by a combined margin of 120-0. 41-0 Lizard Lick

Seabrook Energy @ Buffalo Daggers
Seabrook has displayed little of its trademark Energy in losing 6 of the first 7, and the Daggers have turned up their intensity in recent wins over the Villagers and Vanguards. They'll look to make it three in a row today: 37-3 Daggers

Well, no one stepped up in the East...I'll give it a go.

Wolfpack 24 / Slashers 17
River Rats 31 / Vanguard 16
Villagers 35 / Red Celtics 10
Lizard Lickers 27 / Raptors 6
Fury 17 / Wolves 16
Fanboys 24 / Bullitt 13
Daggers 38 / Energy 3
Badgers 42 / Demon Sweat 6

Lets see how close my "guesses" are.

It looks like we're in agreement, AirMcMVP, at least in terms of the winners.

Projected winners from the Spreadsheet -

Buffalo 45-11
New Orleans 27 - 5
Sconnie - 47-4
LLLL 47-4
Memphis 28-7
PTT - 34-7
Tennessee - 19-17 (coin flip, really)
Slashers - 20-13 (close enough for coin flip)


Western
Coos Bay 25-3
Austin 14-8
Barbarian 28-24
Chicago 14-13
Mentone Beach 25-18
San Diego 87-3
Richey 30-5
Huskers 52-21


I just got all this crap entered, so formatting will be better next time, maybe!

Overall, if the projected score is within 7, that's the error bars on the projection atm.

Yup, the sim knows nothing about how the points get there (doesn't understand the possible scoring opportunities, or their probability, i.e. FG > TD >>>> Safety for scoring probability.)

Still, it's been pretty accurate getting into the middle of most league's seasons, and I thought people might like to see the projection before the games sim.
