Ok now that we have our first ladder games set I'll go ahead and write something up. I'll go ahead and do every single game this time to make up for all the games I missed last season. After today I'll just do the undefeated teams until we have a clear top 10.
#1 PORN vs. #1 Hell's Kitchen Devils
PORN started off the season on a strong note with complete destruction of Ronin in league play. So far it looks like all the build respecs that PORN had done in the offseason are paying off but it's still too early to really finish that story. Hell's Kitchen on the other hand I haven't heard of so either they weren't really a good team last season or they changed their name because I don't know anything about them. Considering PORN was the #1 team for 4/5ths of the rookie campaign and finished #2 by the end I'll take PORN winning 35-7 which will set up an interesting matchup with Ashland on Tuesday.
#1 HAHA vs. #1 Kensington Browns
HAHA is a team to look out for this season as they are a sneaky good team. Kensington currently has an inactive owner so HAHA should win this one easily. HAHA 28-3
#1 Seneca Hands of Fate vs. #1 Blackwater Bears
Both teams are coming off wins with Seneca beating a CPU team by 19 and Blackwater beating GE by 10. This one might be a tossup since from a distance it looks like this will be a close matchup. I'll take Blackwater to represent Napoleon 17-14.
#1 ENMU Greyhounds vs. #1 Colorado Springs Mambas
Colorado really struggled last season with new coaches while ENMU was up and down most of the season but at least more consistently better than Colorado. I'll take ENMU to win this one 24-10 unless Colorado can start to right the ship soon.
#1 Buffalo Billy Boys vs. #1 I've STILL Never Had Sex
Buffalo is coming off a whooping of a bad team while Virgins are coming off a whooping of a mediocre team. Buffalo didn't make the playoffs last season while Virgins did. Unless Buffalo got better from last season I'll take Virgins 45-14.
#1 Deadman Odyssey vs. #1 ASU
ASU is coming off a good performance while Odyssey barely won against a bad opponent. ASU finished the season strong and I see them winning this one with relative ease. 30-7
#1 No Name vs. #31 Colorado Stoners
No Name was one of the best teams in rookie last season while Stoners were wildly inconsistent. With the Stoners getting upset in league play yesterday I see them going 0-2 this time with No Name winning 28-10
#1 Las Vegas Outlaws vs. #1 PAIN NATION MIDGETS
Outlaws struggled last season in a tough league while PAIN did the same in a slightly weaker league. Both teams are coming off wins and I see this one having the potential to be a close one. Las Vegas wins 17-14.
#1 NW Storms vs. #1 Bloody Slaughterhouse
NW is coming off a very big upset against Salty while Bloody added to their winning was of last season by dominating Salary Cap. NW will probably only temporarily celebrate their Salty win when they will most likely get slaughtered by Bloody 28-10.
#1 Omaha BEEF vs. #1 Northern Uprising
Don't think this one will be close at all. BEEF ended up tied for #2 in ladder last season with PORN and should win this one with ease 33-6
#1 San Diego Sperm Whales vs. #31 Portland Ronin
San Diego was in the top 15 pretty much all season and is a solid team that you need to watch out for if you're not careful. Ronin was mediocre last season and started the season off by getting their new zone defense obliterated by PORN. San Diego wins 24-14.
#1 South End Vipers vs. #1 Washington Sentinels.
South End was good all season while Washington struggled for most of the season. Unless South End takes a nosedive between rookie and now I don't see them losing this one. South End wins 21-3.
#1 Arkansas Razorbacks vs. #1 Phoenix Aztecs
Might seem like a toss up on paper but I see Arkansas winning this one with some ease since I think Arkansas' offense is better than the Aztec's offense by a decent amount. Arkansas wins 21-6.
#1 Fire Breathing Sharks vs. #1 New World Order
Looks like Marvinpaige and all his multi's joined forces and combined players from the Atlanta Falcons into the team formally known as Santa Fe Gunslingers. On paper Sharks look to be a top contender in sophomore and they will probably win this game. One has to wonder if low chem will cause them to have a few losses on the way that they would otherwise normally win. Regardless, I'll take Sharks 28-10.
#1 Tosche Station Grenadiers vs. #1 Virgina Warriors
Probably going to be a close game against two teams who struggled in rookie. Don't really know much about these teams so I'll take Tosche to win 17-10.
#1 Mannheim Steamroller vs. #31 Gliwice Lions
Mannheim finished the season strong and was a really good team throughout rookie while Gliwice saw their stock rise as high as #6 in rookie last season but then dropped some as reality started to hit. Both teams are good running teams but Mannheim is just plain better at this point. Mannheim wins 28-3
#1 Ashland Dockers vs. #31 Trenton Devils
Looks like Ashland has an easy ladder game this time around. Shouldn't be much trouble here and assuming they win this game then it'll leave the matchup of the early season between Ashland and PORN for game #2 of league play. Ashland 45-7.
#31 Salary Cap Optimization vs. #31 Orlando Predators
Both teams are coming off losses but I'm going to take Salary Cap here just because I feel like Xars can make more out of nothing than Orlando. Optimization wins 17-3.
#31 Empire's Zone Strikes Back vs. #31 Back Door Sluts 9
GE is coming off another tough loss while Sluts struggled in their opening game. I see this one being a close, low scoring game but in the end GE falls to 0-2 and we probably hear a mini-rant about how stupid the game is. Sluts win 20-17.
#31 New Orleans Gators vs. #31 Lafeyette Mudbugs
Gators are run by Coach Crowley who struggled as a rookie owner last season while Mudbugs struggled as well in rookie. Curious to see how much better Crowley is with a season under his belt but until he gets the hang of things I'll go with Mudbugs 14-3.
#31 Banty Roosters vs. #31 FBU Fire
FBU was a once dominate team in early GLB2 but has since fallen off while Banty is a relative newcomer that hasn't shown much to this point. I'll take FBU to win 24-10.
#31 Charm City Saints vs. #31 The Salty Runback
This one should be a blow out. Salty got upset in league play but are still one of the best teams in sophomore right now. Charm City is probably in over their heads in this one. Salty wins 35-6.
#31 New Orleans Dirty Dogs vs. #31 Oujou White Knights
Don't know anything about these teams so I'm going to assume this will be a toss up. I'll take New Orleans since their offense scored some points in their loss last week while Oujou seemed to struggle more. New Orleans wins 14-10.
#31 La Roy Cardinals vs. #31 Santa Fe Thunder
Not writing much about this matchup. Both teams got blown the hell out in their games and don't really deserve much of a writeup unless they can show more of an effort. La Roy wins 17-10.
#31 New England Wildcats vs. #31 EEA 2.0
EEA should take this one with ease I would think. New England Struggled last season and EEA did fairly well for a run only team. EEA wins 28-7.
#31 Tacoma Trojans vs. #31 Legacy's Dynasty
I'll take Legacy just based on the fact that Trojans got shut out 118-0 vs. ASU last week. Legacy 28-0.
