With Week 3 in the books the Divisions are getting more defined, some shockers, some not as much shocking. Lets get to what you guys are here to do. Read about what I have to say about your team.

Tampa Piranhas Vs. Canton Bulldogs

Tampa is continuing where they left off in their win of the Championship with only 1 loss to show on their record. The other hand you have the Canton Bulldogs who have been lacking in the Gamma Division. If you don't remember that Division has been revamped with only 1 of the 4 teams remaining from last season so their was a lot of mystery surrounding the division. Tampa has no fear running and it shows as they have 574 yards rushing that is complimented by the most points scored in the league so far. Canton is lacking in all Division as they have been ranked 5th in Rush Defense, but, everything else is 8th or higher out of 12. I see Tampa completely dominating Canton.

Conclusion: Tampa 34 - Canton 3

DeepRoute Allstars Vs. Ministry of Dotball:

Last season this was a very big matchup because it was the last spot in the regular season and they were the two highest ranked team record wise. MoD defeated them and embarrassed them which possibly affected them in the playoffs as they lost to New York in the first round. They are looking for revenge at MoD and right now they could very well get it. Right now MoD is acting like a wounded animal that was shot in the leg. Can MoD get themselves out of the rut that they are in. Surprisingly, MoD looks worse than Canton Bulldogs as far as rankings go. As they have a ranking somewhere of 6th or higher. Completely opposite of last season where they were no higher than 3rd in rankings. DeepRoute is mixed all over the place but, they have spots of strength that shows consistency. I call this game in favor of DeepRoute.

conclusion: Deeproute 17 - Ministry 6

Helmand Provicial Pathan Pansies vs. Texas Toast:

Texas lost their first Regular Season game last week to the runner up in the Championship Game so he is now in 2nd place in the Gamma Division. HPPP is 3rd and plays in a tough Division. They seem to win their ladders but can't catch a break in the league games. Texas Offense is above average, except the run as it's ranked 10th, but, their Defense is average to below average and that is where they get hurt at. On the other side, HPPP has a well below average Offense which is their weakest part of the team and they need to find a way to get that ball rolling to find success. The Defense is also below average and they need to find a way to hold other teams in their place. I see this coming as an easy victory for Texas.

Conclusion: Texas 16 - HPPP 0

Sacramento B-Squad Vs. Alpine:

This one just looks unfair on paper as Sacramento is playing essentially the best team in Osprey as Alpine is #1 in Defense except Run Defense where they are #3 and they run all over teams. They have stated they are going back to passing on teams which if they can accomplish, is a dual threat team to take seriously as playoffs roll around. Sacramento is a mostly well below average offense as their only bright spot is rushing yards total. Their Defense is average to mediocre, but, is the better part of the team. I see Alpine holding no holds barred.

Conclusion Alpine: 39 - Sacramento 0

Detroit Foreclosures vs. New York Gangsters: **(Game of the Week)**

This game is the match up everyone is going to keep their eyes on this week as Detroit is having bad luck and looking to turn it around and hoping that New York will become their victim to get back to .500. New York on the other hand is looking to stay at a perfect 1.000 in the regular season match ups. Detroit's Passing team is dead last and mediocre, but they aren't a passing team so it makes sense. They are a run first team and looking to run over the New York Gangsters. Their Defense though is average at best in rankings. They have everything middle of the pack so they look balanced. New York has a mediocre run game, but has the best passing team in the league with the best total offense and second best points scored. Their Defense is well above average as their wort ranking on Defense is 5th and it's run defense so Detroit will have their work cut out for them. Which team will conquer? Which team will rise above the clouds? We will find out. . .SUNDAY! My prediction is going to be a close game, but, New York Defense prove too much for Detroit.

Conclusion New York 14 - Detorit 10

South 'Cooley-High' Rangers vs Rhode Island Aftershocks:

This game is the battle of the last places of Gamma and Beta Division. Granted that two teams are in fact trying their hardest to get out of this hole they are in, but, just can't seem to find an answer right now. Rhode Island has an average to above average Offense which is surprising to see them in their position. They have the #2 Offense in the league which is shocking. But, their defense is whats holding them back, they have one of the worst Defenses in this league. If they were to fix up their Defense, they would be definitely a top tier team. South Cooley is trying to escape the dangers they faced last season with how their last owner who went inactive and they eventually got a new Owner. I know the Owner is trying his best to make this team work. Their passing game is the glue to their team as they don't seem to run at all or very little. The Defense on the other hand is seen as the absolute worst except for just one little light which is their Pass Defense which is number 1. I think Rhode Island will get their first victory against South Cooley. It's a hard choice to make against two bright teams trying their hardest.

Conclusion: Rhode Island 10 - South Cooley 7

Sacramento has been within one score in every loss. This team could have been 5-0 now in league and ladder play with a little luck. I expect a close game.

I could have been 5-0 also if not for a playbook and tactic mistake because the team was beatable. But, I doubted something and shouldn't have doubted it. I hope my prediction is wrong because close games make things more fun.

I feel like I could put a damper on that record.

Sure. At a minimum I would expect us to lose three to four games.
