Matchups
Alpha
Knossos Minotaurs vs Rennes Corsairs
Knossos should continue to roll against a Rennes team that has a lot of fight, but is outclassed here.
Prediction: Knossos 31-3
Montcuq Beserker Trolls vs Dublin Destroyers
Montcuq will go on another scoring ramage here, and look set to have the top scoring offense in WEAA#3 by the end of the regular season.
Prediction: Montcuq 128-0
Vice City Crack Whores vs Black Watch *Alpha Game of the Week*
Vice City match up against a tough Black Watch side on the rise. Look for this to be close, but for VC to edge the game.
Prediction: Vice City 17-12
Yorkshire Knights vs Barcelona Razorbacks
Yorkshire should rebound against an underachieving Barca team, as they seek to secure a playoff spot. Can Barca live up to their talent?
Prediction: Yorkshire 24-6
Seville Naranjas vs Belfast Super Crues
Seville should crush the Crues as they finally get an easier game. Look for them to enjoy racking up the score.
Prediction: Seville 101-0
Dorset Stampede vs Ahlen Aces
Ahlen could be a different team with a new owner very shortly, but on current form expect another blowout.
Prediction: Dorset 120-0
Fareham Demons vs London Royals
Fareham come off an upset against the Knights, and should continue to provide more weight to their contender status.
Prediction: Fareham 58-6
Messina Blazers vs Hamburg Likedeeler
Hamburg have the chance to improve their playoff credentials here, and come up against a Messina team coming off their biggest loss of the year.
Prediction: Hamburg 27-6
Zeta
Stirling Crusaders vs Antwerp Jokers
Antwerp need a W to continue their rise after a tough start, but Stirling present a stiff challenge.
Prediction: Stirling 21-6
Spaniard Quebrantaguesos vs Glasgow Manglers
Whilst you'd expect a blowout, look to Glasgow to stiffen their nerve, even in defeat.
Prediction: Spaniard 40-6
Munchen The Fearless Lion vs Bath Killer Bees *Zeta Game of the Week*
Both teams need the win to send them further towards homefield advantage - both teams should make the playoffs, this will be a test of caliber.
Prediciton: Munchen 17-16
Wales Whales vs Lyon Loups *LFU*
Wales come up against one of the 2nd tier teams in Zeta. Shame for Lyon Wales are top bracket.
Prediction: Wales 39-7
Bergen Black Bears vs Turin Blue Jays
Turin have fight, but will it be enough to defeat Bergen, who seem to be gathering momentum?
Prediction: Bergen 32-18
Berlin Thunder vs FF-FD Satellite
Can the Satellite's weather the storm? Tough game, look to Berlin for victory.
Prediction: Berlin 28-17
Yorkshire Rippers vs Copenhagen Armadillos
Another tough game in Zeta, as two outside challengers collide.
Prediction: Yorkshire 21-17
Hjorring Rhinos vs St Michael Blicas
Two teams that look set to be also-rans meet in what could kill off any slim playoff hopes for either team.
Prediction: St Michael 21-9
