Not a lot of change at the top of Lion but the bottom 9 has seen some massive movement with everyone beating each other and the rising up of both Silverbacks.
WEEK 6 - LION
1 Fulham Flying Hellfish (6-0) - Talk about a comeback. The Hellfish were in a bad state at the end of the first half as they fell behind 14-38. The second half was a complete reversal though as they shut out Franchise and posted 39 points of their own to stay undefeated.
2 Massawa Redhorns (6-0) - Everyone's wondering if the Redhorns are for real. At 6-0 it would seem that way but with Franchise, Fulham and Cagliari still on the schedule anything can change.
3 Cagliari Outbreak (5-1) - The dominations continued this week against Wallachia. Week 8 against CWE is shaping up to be a great game.
4 Carthaginian War Elephants (5-1) - It's becoming clear that there are about 5 teams at the top of Lion that will spend the season beating up on each other while dominating everyone else. CWE is one of those teams.
5 Franchise (4-2) - For 2 quarters the Franchise looked like it would live up to its name and take down the #1 ranked Lion team. But then it all fell apart in the second half as the offense became inept and the defense was porous.
6 Wallachia Wamphyri (4-2) - After 6 weeks it would appear the Wamphyri have no problem beating mid to low ranked teams but haven't been able to compete against the top teams. With a few of those lower ranked teams starting to pull it together Wallachia had better stay on top of things and start finding ways to beat teams with a winning record.
7 San Francisco Demons (4-2) - The Demons got the first taste of newly minted CPU team Ironton.
8 Sahara Storm (2-4) - The next 3 weeks should prove interesting for Sahara as they face 3 teams struggling this season.
9 Sun City Undertakers (2-4) - A strong win for the Undertakers. They'll need to replicate this effort to get a win over the newly motivated Zambezi squad next week.
10 LHC Naked Turtles (2-4) - A week after taking Sterling to the wood shed, LHC gets taken back themselves by a team Sterling beat.
11 West Yorkshire Bandits (2-4) - The Bandits need to find a way to start stringing together some victories. With Sahara and Kenya struggling, the next 2 weeks could get them back to .500.
12 Uganda Silverbacks (2-4) - Nice win for Uganda as they stifled Kenya's much vaunted aerial attack.
13 Zambezi Silverbacks (2-4) - Back to back wins for the 'Backs. Can they make it three in a row before they enter a rough 4 game stretch that could see them lose all the ground they've gained.
14 Kenya Diggits (1-5) - This is the same team that put 66 points up on Cagliari? 55 on the Demons? 14 against Uganda didn't get them anywhere.
15 Sterling Bulldawgs (1-5) - In a game that saw big play after big play for both teams the Bulldawgs couldn't keep up with Zambezi's offensive output.
16 IRONTON TANKS (1-5) - The Tanks are now a CPU team making them the lowest team.
Some shifting around everywhere but the biggest move was TBH which I'm sure is a bit controversial but another week of games could flip this all around again.
WEEK 6 - ELEPHANT
1 Nairobi Warthogs (6-0) - The Warthogs were the only Predators on the field this week.
2 Sons of Anubis (6-0) - The Sons have been in Nairobi's shadow this season but if they can keep it up than week 15 could be the biggest match of the season.
3 The Dead Presidents (5-1) - TDP has been playing some great ball for weeks now but the second half of their schedule looks to be way tougher than the first half starting with week 8 against the Rhinos.
4 The Black Hand (3-3) - Why such a large jump for TBH? 3 game win streak for starters but they dominated Zimbabwe and jumped out to a huge lead against the Rhinos for another win. By the way, you're welcome rj.
5 Windhoek White Rhinos (3-3) - The Rhinos fell behind in the first half and couldn't dig out of the hole. Apparently, it's all my fault.
6 Zimbabwe Rebels (3-3) - The Rebels put up a hell of a fight but it wasn't enough in the end. They've got a nice stretch of games the next month that could help with a playoff push down the road.
7 Black Sea Sunami (3-3) - Same story as ABD. They need to string together a winning streak but I don't see that happening until later in the second half of the season.
8 Angola Blood Diamonds (3-3) - W-L-W-L-W-L. That's been the rollercoaster season ABD has had so far. They have a shot at stringing together 2 wins a row next BUT there's also the potential of losing the 2 after that. Can ABD break this pattern?
9 Ivory Coast Breakers (4-2) - So what if ICB hasn't beaten a top team except for TBH this season. I know they're good. You know they're good. That moves them up slightly.
10 Guyana Generalissimo's (4-2) - I still need to see a win over a quality opponent before I sip this kool-aid. Too bad Nairobi is up next.
11 The African Predators (3-3) - Lost a game we knew they would. Now they can show IF they're potential playoff material by beating ICB, Zimbabwe & Kickin the next 3 weeks.
12 Ron's Texans (1-5) - The Texans move up thanks to the Tigers.
13 MaRAWK!!o Evil Aces (1-5) - Turnovers bad.
14 Darfur Depopulators (1-5) - Win #1 comes in sound fashion. Darfur put up the games first 27 points before Kickin tried to mount a comeback.
15 Kickin Djibouti (1-5) - Kickin Whosbouti?
16 Wrightstown Tigers (0-6) - The Tigers are now officially the only winless team remaining in APL.
WEEK 6 - LION
1 Fulham Flying Hellfish (6-0) - Talk about a comeback. The Hellfish were in a bad state at the end of the first half as they fell behind 14-38. The second half was a complete reversal though as they shut out Franchise and posted 39 points of their own to stay undefeated.

Great stuff as always E. These are the great to read, and I appreciate you taking the time.
4th for The Black Hand....The great thing is now that the hard part of our schedule is out of the way we only have to play The Black Sea and Sons back to back in our next two. Have to love our schedule this season....Great job with the write ups, thanks...

WEEK 7 PREDICTIONS
LION
Cagliari vs Uganda
I don't see the Silverbacks staying in this game very long. Should be another outbreak of scoring.
Ironton vs Wallachia
This might have been a good game until Ironton went CPU.
San Fran vs Fulham
The Demons have already taken the 6-0 Redhorns to the limit but after their beatdown at the hands of Cagliari I don't see how they compete against Fulham.
Sahara vs WYB
Two struggling franchises in search of win #3. This is a big game for both teams as the loser will be in a bigger hole and most likely out of any playoff considerations. Hard to pick a winner but I'll have to give a slight edge to Sahara but this could most definitely swing either way with a few turnovers by WYBs ball hawking defense.
Massawa vs Sterling
Sterling is just not ready for the big time this season and it's been evident through every game so far. Massawa remains undefeated.
Zambezi vs Sun City
The Silverbacks seem to be turning things around after two impressive wins but Sun City is coming off a nice win of their own. Zambezi has a deeper squad but will that be enough to keep momentum on their side for a third week.
Kenya vs CWE
Can the Elephants use the blueprint set out by Uganda to stop Kenya's air attack? Even if they can't I'm sure their offense will have no problem putting up enough points to come away with a win.
LHC vs Franchise
Franchise has manhandled any team that is not looking bound for the playoffs and there's no reason to expect a different result here.
ELEPHANT
MEA vs ABD
Diamonds aren't an Aces best friend.
TBH vs BSS
TBH is on a nice streak that I expect to continue this week.
Guyana vs Nairobi
Another week for the Warthogs to continue dominating.
Texan's vs Zimbabwe
The Rebels need this win if they want to stay in playoff contention.
Darfur vs Windhoek
Since I jinxed the Rhinos last week I will pick against them this week. Picking against them is probably the only way they can get the win this week so good luck WWR!
TAP vs ICB
Neither team has been extremely impressive to date but ICB does hold a win over TBH which is a more quality victory than anything TAP has done this season.
Wrightstown vs SOA
Wrightstown is heading to Wrongsville this season.
TDP vs Kickin
TDP's last break before kicking off 3 weeks against WWR, BSS & SOA. That will be the defining streak of their season with a home playoff game in the balance.
LION
Cagliari vs Uganda
I don't see the Silverbacks staying in this game very long. Should be another outbreak of scoring.
Ironton vs Wallachia
This might have been a good game until Ironton went CPU.
