Biggest Gain: ?Harrisonburg +4
Biggest Drop: Glasgow -7

Thoughts:

Hawaii gets a shot at the big boy leagues, Salty gets dot ball, Vase Breakers get a shot at the big kid league, Harrisonburg gets whats practically a freebie, Glasgow fell hard but gets a winnable game, Air Raid shufgfles back into 6 and gets a pretty winnable game, Andes gets the up and down dragons.Pelicans and Bowlers get the only journeyman matchups this week

#1 Hawaii Bulls vs #5(pro) Tampa Piranhas

No this is not a joke, Hawaii is performing on the big time stage vs one of the best of in the game in what is going to be a good old fashion beatdown as each team sluggs it out with their rushing games. You do not want to miss this so i found the link to the game for you guys http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/game/87159. It starts at 12pm game time (dont ask how I got the link, it wasnt pretty).

17-16 Bulls

#2 The Salty Runback vs #27(pro) Ministry of Dotball

Salty gets what looks like a decent Ministry team but Salty knows how to play pro teams and only lost to teams that are currently in the top 15 and since dot is outside the top 15 im going to go with salty on this one

28-21 Salty

#3 Yorickshire Vase Breakers vs #18 Charlotte Panthers

Charlotte is a good team but Vase breakers showed vs Andes that they can handle run teams and Charlotte has had some defensive issues a few games this season. It has an upset by Vase Breakers written all over it!

17-10 Vase Breakers

#4 Harrisonburg Bulldogs vs #58(pro)Sacramento B-Squad

After a hard fought win vs Glasgow Harrisonburg gets a free win this week (like they really need one)

30-7 Harrisonburg

#5 Glasgow Rangers vs #50(pro) Santiago Benitos

Glasgow dropped like a rock this week after a difficult loss vs Harrisonburg and then an upset by the firefighters but good news is that they should be able to coast to a win this game

#8-14 Glasgow

#6 Air Raid vs #61(pro) Portland Cardinals

This week seems to be pretty weak outside of the top 3 as Air Raid gets another average at best pro team.

44-28 Air Raid

#7 Atlantic City Hookers vs #59(pro) Minnesota Bad Axes

Bad news for Atlanta is they are back in 7th, good news is they get a team they should be able to beat solidly

31-21 Hookers

#8 Andes Chinchillas vs #40(pro) San Jose Dragons

After a hard to swallow loss vs Vase Breakers Andes gets a team that I personally know is better than their rank and I will not let them run over Andes defense like they did vs Dakota. Journeyman teams beware though Andes showed they could hang with the some of the best of Journeyman and is a team to watch this season.

#9 Lost Lounge vs #62 Tampa Bay Scorpions

Lost Lounge is in a deep spiral but they get a game that they should not lose period this week. If they managae to mess this free win up it could signal their soon to be exit of the top 10

40-18 Lost

#10 Cobra Kai vs #13 DADDY

First Journeyman match up this week. I expect it to be much closer as a good DADDY team looks to take revenge for that lopsided loss last time around.

31-28 DADDY

#11 Louisiana Pelicans vs #73(pro) OffTopica Faith

Faith has a bad record vs Journeyman and I expect no different vs the pelicans.

31-21 Pelicans

#12 Richmond Redskins vs #56(pro) 1up "Shooting Airballs"

Despite a setback vs the Stingers last ladder Richmond still goes up a rank and draw a deceptively solid 1up team but I expect Richmond to be able to pull out a win on this one.

24-20 Redskins

#14 Berkeley Bowlers vs #17 Sacramento Hornets

Berkeley is still looking to get back on track and they get a decent change vs a Hornets team that seems to not be able to put it all together like they did last season and Berkeley really needs this.

38-28 Berkeley

#15 Savannah Stingers vs #61(pro) Bloodless Brotherhood

CPU team, free win for Stingers

62-0 Stingers

That's a bit strong - B-Squad has been on a tough road the last few games, but they beat now #15 Helmand (a team that's beat Salty), and here's what happened the last time they faced a (not top 10) Journeyman team:
http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/game/83416

So, yeah, maybe Harrisonburg is the favorite, but it's no freebie. Rank isn't everything - especially when you can't see the ratings.

they looked great up until that win vs the hornets which they have now gone on a 0-6-1 record vs an avg opponent rank of 37 which are boosted by 2 top 20 teams. has Sacramento played all them close? yes but the big problem is a team that cant finish is gunna have a hard time winning and not having a single win in 7 games shows the inability to finish and I know Harrisonburg can finish games

I assume since LL is favored this week that means I am on schedule for another 4 INT game.

I dunno if the game will be any different of an outcome since I am still pretty drunk. But nothing can be worse than using that smother test defense. Not even sure why that was still my generic defense for DADDY. O_o

Maybe I should add a disclaimer for all DADDY matches which states all predictions related to DADDY are based assuming bhall is sober

That would mean we would never win a game. It depends on HOW drunk he is
