Power Rankings and Predictions - Week 11 - Eastern Conference
Alright, so I do great on my predictions except for one game.... my own. Do I have to predict a loss to get a win around here? Here's to that. Oh, and I got my upset pick right this week (Alberta over Mystery). I'll try to pick an upset every week... let's see how I do with that.
Last Week’s Predictions: 7-1
Total Record: 20-4
1. Flappin' Heads (10-0)
Previous: 1 High: 1 Low: 3
Next: vs Alberta Avengers
Notes: Zomg, the 10-0 team is #1. Who'd a thunk it? They win by 42 next game.
2. Triple B's 13th Cadre (9-1)
Previous: 2 High: 2 Low: 6
Next: @St. John's Fog Devils
Notes: Very impressive display of defense against a good Eastside team. Aside from their 1 blemish, they've been pretty much unstoppable all season. I think St. John's does alright but can't compete with all of the big baddies on BBB's. BBB's by 21.
3. Quebec City Chiefs (9-1)
Previous: 3 High: 1 Low: 3
Next: vs Great Lakes
Notes: This team might as well be 2a. But that would just look silly, so they're #3. I can't wait until they play Triple B's in a few weeks. Should be a good game. Until then, QCC will have to live with playing Great Lakes. I'm high on Great lakes at the moment but I can't see them pulling another upset over a much more predictable Chief's team. QCC wins by 13.
4. Regina Pounders (8-2)
Previous: 5 High: 4 Low: 6
Next: @Eastside Eagles
Notes: Game of the week in the East. Regina has the higher rank and the better record, but I believe Eastside has the better team. I'll predict a loss by 6. (I'll call this one my upset pick i guess)
5. Eastside Eagles (7-3)
Previous: 4 High: 2 Low: 5
Next: vs Regina Pounders
Notes: Hopefully they can adapt better against this team than they did against Triple B's last week. I doubt that they'd let 2 close games like this slip away back to back. Thats why i think Eastside puts their game back on track and does what they do best to beat Regina by 6.
6. St. John's Fog Devils (7-3)
Previous: 8 High: 4 Low: 11
Next: vs Triple B's 13th Cadre
Notes: An impressive showing brings St. John's back into the rank of the better teams, but they'll need every bit of that against a very good Triple B's team. They pack a punch, but i don't think the punch will be quite enough. They'll lose by 21.
7. Great Lakes Rum Runners (4-6)
Previous: 9 High: 7 Low: 15
Next: @Quebec City Chiefs
Notes: Coming off a 2 game winning streak, the Rum Runners have something to prove. Unfortunately, Quebec doesn't give a rat's ass what the rum runners are trying to prove. They'll beat Great Lakes by 13.
8. Tim Tebow Sucks (5-5)
Previous: 6 High: 6 Low: 14
Next: @Port Dover Panthers
Notes: Tim Tebow might suck; but fortunately, Port Dover sucks more. TTS rebounds for a win by 14.
9. Manitoba Manatees (4-6)
Previous: 7 High: 6 Low: 9
Next: @St. Catherine's Stompers
Notes: Manitoba flexes their muscles once again after their tough loss by beating up on St. Catherine's. They'll win by 50, and shut out their opponent. (double prediction)
10. Thunder Bay Hitmen (5-5)
Previous: 10 High: 5 Low: 10
Next: vs Quebec Eagles
Notes: Battle of the average teams, I think Thunder Bay is the better team here... much like thier record indicates. They already got a bunch of their hard games out of the way, so they should be in line to make a playoff push. Quebec will be the first victim of this, losing by a TD.
11. Quebec Eagles (3-7)
Previous: 12 High: 11 Low: 15
Next: @Thunder Bay Hitmen
Notes: The poor eagles have only beaten the 3 terrible teams in the east all year. Frankly, they shouldn't be anywhere near #11, but I can't justify dropping them down now after losing to the best team. They'll lose by a TD to Thunder bay, and they'll drop to where they should be next week.
12. Alberta Avengers (3-7)
Previous: 14 High: 7 Low: 15
Next: @ Flappin Heads
Notes: Winning their game propels them up 2 spots. However, i can't see moving them up 3 after a 10 point win against a mediocre team. They get clobbered this week by 42.
13. Mystery Alaskans (3-7)
Previous: 11 High: 10 Low: 13
Next: vs Shquiperia Shquiperia
Notes: Can't win them all. But shame on you if you lose this game. Alaskans should win by 10.
14. Port Dover Panthers (2-8)
Previous: 13 High: 7 Low: 14
Next: vs Tim Tebow Sucks
Notes: They'll make Tim Tebow Sucks look not like Tim Tebow. In other words, they lose. By 14.
15. Shqiperia Shqiperia (1-9)
Previous: 15 High: 13 Low: 15
Next: @Mystery Alaskans
Notes: Welcome to the world of teams in Canada #5 East with 1 win! Population you. It will stay that way. Loss by 10.
16. St. Catharines Stompers (0-10)
Previous: 16 High: 16 Low: 16
Next: vs Manitoba Manitees
Notes: They'res always next year. Loss by 50 in a shutout.

The defeat has not happened yet. I just hope you do not slap us around like last season.
