#1 Minnesota vs #8 Run GLB - Two very formidable defenses face off. Run GLB has coasted to a 3-0 start, although two wins were against CPUs, so it's still hard to tell how good they really are. EVERYONE knows how good Minnesota is. The balanced attack might throw off Minnesota a bit, but I expect Minn to pull away in the 2nd half

Minnesota wins 49-24

#2 Harrisonburg vs #3 Air Raid - Pretty even matchup with two very good passing offenses. Air Raid has been inconsistent early on... 1-2, with one very good win and two losses against two underrated teams, but still probably shouldn't have been. HBurg has one nice W against DD... the results against the two league opponents haven't exactly been impressive. I'm still working out some kinks on both offense and defense, but hopefully shold be enough to get by Air Raid. Air Raid definitely has the horses to pull the upset if they are "on".

HBurg wins 42-35

#4 MMA vs #19 DD - pretty even matchup... both very pass heavy but will mix in some running when needed. MMA got smacked around in their first game, but rebounded nicely with two wins. DD played a tight game with #2 HBurg, and has already won two games against teams that Air Raid lost to, which should say something. I have DD in the "upset"

DD 31, MMA 28

#5 QCB vs #9 Run Defenders
- A great rushing attack vs a great rushing defense... QC has won two VERY tight games, and hasn't quite dominated like I expected them to this season. I'm sure Romo is making tweaks game to game and they will improve. 3-0 is still 3-0 though, and they might be moving up the ladder soon. The run defenders are facing their first elite rushing offense of the year, and I'm sure they are preparing well for this one. I see the game being close for a half, and QC maybe breaking a long run or two in the 2nd half

QC wins 34-21

#6 DA vs #20 GVTT - Not much to see here... half the trolls team is CPU. The only question is by how much with DA win...

Assassins lay the smack down, 101-3

#7 RIF vs #25 Whoville - Whoville with their first top 10 matchup (I believe?) They are a team nooone is talking about, but should. A solid roster of guys built by agents that know what they are doing. They are probably just outside my top 10 right now, and should be moving up the ladder pretty quickly. I like Whoville in a talent matchup, as a good chunk of RIF guys are Jmen/Pro...

Whoville wins 48-21

#10 Gatling vs #15 Oregon Ducks - Oregon has two losses, but against two solid opponents. Inactive Gatling is going to get hammered pretty badly.

Result will be close to the 2014 PAC12 Championship score... I'll take the same final... Oregon, 51-13

Nice work TDiddy!

Four pretty good games.

I think Run GLB has a shot at the upset, but they will need to get creative offensively and control the clock. I can easily see them winning the game or losing by 40. This game really intrigues me.

HBurg vs Air Raid should be a good ol' fashioned shootout. Can Air Raid avoid starting the season 1-3? I would give the edge to HBurg, but it may come down to RNG.

DD vs MMA should be good also. DD has a very strong run D, but their pass defense isn't the best. Parab00n is aware of this, so I'm sure he'll dial up some pressure and try to force some turnovers. This one should be highly competitive.

QCB vs Run Defenders
Strength against strength. Can the Run Defenders finally get a signature win? I don't think they're quite ready yet due to chemistry. It might be close though.

Thanks TDiddy - great write up!

Also - respect for picking yourself to win.

I've been a little nervous about runGLB for more than a season now. lolscrims are always close enough to go either way.

I agree - crazy for Air Raid to start 1-3 especially with their 2 losses having their offense held to a score in the 20s...

Should be fun day tomorrow!

yea, I hate doing that... but when we beat DD, and they have beat two teams that Air Raid has lost to already this season, I had to take us. An Air Raid win wouldn't be remotely shocking though.

Nice Job Tdiddy. Should've blitzed every play though. No doubt you could've had a 20 sack day.

yea our 2nd half/up big tactics lowed the chance of blitzing quite a bit, and once we eased off slightly, you started moving the ball well... and it showed in the 4th

So Air Raid vs Harrisonburg's rivalry most likely comes to a close with the Raid holding a 4-2(Veteran) 6-5(all-time) series lead

Not even super DAG can turn one win into two wins to even the all-time series

Go-go ladder matchmaker protecting us from rematch!
