Hoping it comes as late in the season as possible, when our chem is up a bit. I don't think No Name is getting away with trickery against HAHA like we did last season.

That was not a fun match to watch. Gotta be honest, not looking forward to a repeat. You'll be a pain to game plan against.

Who did the Hell's Kitchen Devils used to be? I see they're 7-2, and currently tied for 11th in tier. I just don't know anything about them.

USA Pride Ballers - I think they had some DC's who didn't know what they were doing last season (losses to pure QB running teams last season) - so they've redone their staff and are doing significantly better.

GE Scoring 50?!

You guys scored 50 or more only one time since rookie and that was against a CPU team. Even if you ran weak side against Ashland you probably would have only scored 14-20 points.

Lol...no. Let me scrim Ashland with his same gameplan and we will see.

#1 Ashland Dockers vs. #4 SD Sperm Whales

Game of the week. The new #1 team in the tier gets a tough matchup this week against the recently beaten whales. Ashland has had a difficult last couple of ladder games and I'm curious to see if they might be falling off a little when they start playing the top 5 teams in tier. SD got soundly beaten by HAHA and looks for redemption here but the main question is can the whales limit Ashland's passing offense enough to pull off the upset. I'm going to say that they'll fall short here. Ashland 27-14.

#2 HAHA vs. #12 Hell's Kitchen Devils

HAHA is coming off a win in the battle of the undefeated teams and they did so in convincing fashion. Hell's Kitchen are an up and coming team who is much improved from last season. They're only blowout loss this season so far was to PORN but they've played every other game well. HAHA might have some trouble here from the relatively unknown Devils though I think they'll win in the end. HAHA wins 24-20.

#3 No Name vs. #14 ASU

No Name shouldn't have too much difficulty here unless ASU throws them a curveball. Running game is too easy to contain unless you get caught with your pants down. No Name wins 28-6.

#5 PORN vs. #17 FBU Fire

PORN is back in the top 5 and it doesn't look like they're planning on going anywhere but up with how they've played the last 6 games. No disrespect to the other teams but PORN is the best 1 loss team in the tier and I want to see how they do against the other 3 unbeatens when they face off (Will be playing Ashland two more times in league). This is going to be a blowout in all likelihood. PORN 45-6.

#6 Phoenix Aztecs vs. #19 Mannheim Steamrollers

Should be an interesting matchup. Phoenix has benefited from not playing anybody this season and frankly isn't as good as their ranking would have you think. Mannheim has struggled and it will only get worse for the non-boosters. This might play into Phoenix's hand by playing yet another struggling team. Phoenix wins 14-7.

#7 Strange Music vs. #15 Salty Runback

Strange music has done well for themselves this season but now they come across a very good Salty team with a stingy defense. Only time Salty really struggled this season in 1 game. I think salty will pull the upset here 20-10.

#8 EEA 2.0 vs. #11 Fire Breathing Sharks

Should be a good game here. EEA looks improved with their new passing game while Sharks have come down to earth a little recently. Can EEA limit the Sharks passing attack enough to win this game? I'm going to say no. Sharks win 27-17.

#9 Bloody Slaughterhouae vs. #22 Empire's Zone Strikes Back

Bloody gets the priveledge of playing GE's strugglig zone defense and impotent offense. GE is coming off a 35-0 blowout loss to Ashland in league play and now gets to play another top 10 passing attack. Unless GE pulls this one out of his butt this could get ugly as well. Bloody wins 28-7.

#10 I've STILL Never Had Sex vs. #22 Deadman Odyssey

Virgina coming off a huge blowiut of the sharks and get rewarded with a struggling Odyssey team. Virgins should take this one easily 28-3.

Make the playoffs then try yourself. Scrims are stupid barameters for anything.

I think ASU has a chance to upset No Name - they have a lot of potential - just need to gameplan.

Agree with your picks except going with Mannheim here.

Ashland vs whales, i think you have got right, but not the score, i expect a higher scoring game.

Exactly...the team had some uhhhhh staff issues.

There was a change in ownership and we were able to keep the core team together and add quality dedicated coordinators.
Whereas I'm not sure we are elite level yet...I believe we can get there.

Good luck HAHA. I hope it's a good game that gets decided late.

I really love the write-ups jfbueno. Thanks for doing them.

Good luck to you as well. Your team has TWO passing QB's...and you use them both! First time I've seen that from an actual team. Certainly helps mitigate possible morale loss issues. They're both Slow Built QB's. Wonder if they're built the same. Damn near the same completion % and YPA.

Time to dust off the old Middle Overload spam book

depends which weakside plays he imagines to be running and how the yardage works out honestly.

True but it's not like Empire has a knack for being anything but offensively inept up to this point in our team's careers
