Week 11 Predictions:
Dublin Boghoppers over Burnt Orange Rising
While BOR are improving at a faster rate then the rest of the league, they are still no match for the Boghoppers. Boghoppers roll.
Canterbury Crimson Crusaders over Amsterdam Smokers
Game of the Week and upset pick. The Smokers are averaging almost 350 yards per game on the ground, the CCC are only allowing 94 yards per game, this should be a good test for the Smokers ground game. But with the new WR, the Smokers may test their 16th ranked pass offense this game and find a new way to beat everyone. This is a close game, I know the CCC is out-leveled for the most part but its still a tough call.
Dayton <-FnA-> over Helsinki Devils
Good game here in this much anticipated match-up.
Athens Nighthawks over Glasgow Doom
The Nighthawks are on a little streak here from the hiccup they had earlier in the season and draw an easy opponent again this week. Again, like a broken record, the Doom are building for next season and should be OK by then.
Arlington Avalanche over Manchester Drunken Monkeys
The Avalanche are playing good ball based on tactics alone but this one shouldn't be a problem on a rebuilding Monkeys team. The Monkeys still haven't found replacements for the OT position and it shows, if they could plug that hole, this would be a LOT better team.
Amsterdam Red Lights over Iceland Dream team
IDT has all but disappeared for the boards here and aren't playing to there potential and are probably only going to win one more game this season, while statically they're middle of the pack. The ARL could sneak into the playoffs but they're have to pick up the pace but are a team that can do it.
Coventry Terror over Oslo Norsemen
Another good game here as the Terror are coming off a stinging shutout lose and the Norsemen are just hanging in there. I flipped a coin on this one as there match up just about perfect across the board. Could go either way.
Barcelona Admirals over Syracuse Slashers
Last time we had two 0'fer teams meet I said, someone's got to win. Well same goes here with the loser basically on the low road to 0 wins for the year. I'll go with the Admirals.
Thoughts?

Wow. Wasn't expecting us to get picked to win. Wouldn't have held it against you if you went the other way. Huge game.

Im not surprised either, and you'd been picking so well too. I have to warn you bad I dont believe Ive EVER lost a game ultra has said I would. Im going to verify that here in a bit. And how soon you all forget he gives up 94 yards a game in rushing because he hasnt met Riggins Leo and Papi yet. even after meeting up with us dublin only gives up 42, and we put 150 on them. I was asking this the other day, what would constitute a bad rushing day through the next 3-4 games 200 and 4 scores? Could this finally be the day I finally unleash the passing game? I showed a taste of it to the best passing defense in the league, then they weren't number 1 anymore.
I have no idea whats going to happen tomorrow. Chemistry could very well screw me over or you could plan a perfect game and stop what ever is going to come at you tomorrow, but if you have the game plan in your already one step ahead of me.

haha...your kicking game is rated quite a bit higher then us.
I'm not talking about the team matchup comparison. I usually just glance at that for a second and then that is about it. I am talking about how we outmatch you position by position. Your O-line is outmatched at every position, your WR's are outmatched by our CB's, SS', and FS's, and our LB's will be able to contain both the pass and run. The differences aren't huge but our players have some really good builds so unless your guys are built extremely perfect, I don't see too much of a problem....defensively.
We have lower levels than nearly everyone in the league. It's our great builds that have allowed us to play with such tenacity and kick so much ass. Needless to say, it will be a battle tomorrow, with the devils coming out on top.
You do realize that 5 of your 6 "kick ass" wins came against the lower tier teams in the conference don't you? You guys did beat the Red Lights (which we lost to somehow), but if you want to look at stuff like that, we have beat every team you lost to. Your players may have great builds but so do ours. We have dominated every game we have won, excluding the Avalanche game (a team you lost to), and have been a play away from winning the games we lost. Say what you want but I will be shocked if you guys beat us tomorrow. I will give you guys MAJOR props if you beat us.
y so srs?
You are way to into trash talk man, I was just bullshittin

maybe just a little. That was just more mindless banter to keep you off guard, and i really dont know whats gonna happen tomorrow I turned the offense over to a new guy and I have no idea what his book is going to do. That said it should be a game worth watching.
And I really want to know what would constitute a BAD game from my running backs?
