Key 4/10 Ladder Games #1 Nigerian Minimares vs. #10 D'Haran Empire
http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/676/635Should be a good game, two solid teams, with very good run games. and defenses.
D'haran come into this game with a very linear, rush only offensive attack. However, they also bring a fantastic defense to the table, one of the top defenses in rookie atm. Should be a very good game.
Prediction: Mares gallop past the Empire 28-21.
#2 Xenos vs. #7 Dragon's Revenge
http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/80/440The oh so HOT Dragon's Revenge head over to Acheron to play the nearly undefeated Xenos. Acheron come in with a slightly linear attack, with a rush focused offense to try and conquer the rough Dragon's defense. The Dragon's soar in with the clearly more high powered, and more balanced offense looking for lunch.
Prediction: Dragon's dine in Acheron. 24-14
#4 Minnesota Stunners vs. #8 Alpine Affineurs
http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/284/625This seasons rookies seem to be the heavy, heavy abuse of the high powered glb2 run game. After the reset from sophomore it looks like Minnesota Stunners have gotten things in gear. Unfortunately only the running game seems to be in gear. However Alpine comes with a more balanced attack that favors the pass, but not afraid to pound it out on the ground. I am always in favor of teams who aren't linear.
Prediction: Stunners burn out, Alpine Affineurs (Who also win the award for the most random name in the top 10) win 24-13
#17 Holy Guacamole vs. #14 Pawnee Goddesses
http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/679/559I see Guacamole as a 2011 Denver Broncos type team. They don't put up the biggest numbers, but they sure do know how to win. However on the other hand, Goddesses have already thrown and ran for over 1000 yards each. It looks like the Goddesses win in the offensive department. On the defensive side of things, Guacamole have an excellent pass rush, a bit over the top at times, but still effective. To counter, Guacamole brings one of the best Olines in rookie to try and slow down that fierce Pawnee blitz.
Prediction: Goddesses have their way 35-14
#19 Compton Con Men vs. #24 Lincoln City Red Imps
http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/624/583Compton will bring the pass game, and lincoln will bring the run game to this showdown. Both teams will bring similar defenses, to the table. What do I believe will turn the tide in this game that looks like it could go either way? Luck
Prediction: Red Imps win in a tossup game 24-21
#24 Yorick's Gravediggers vs. #20 Rare Breed Rookies
Gravediggers are one of the numerous run only rookie teams, and they aren't bad at it at all. However they find big trouble against teams that have their number, which is why they currently sit at #24. Rare Breed Rookies have a solid balanced offensive attack, but more importantly a pretty good run defense, which is why I believe they will win.
Prediction: Rookies bury the Gravediggers 17-10
#34 Rhode island Falcons vs. #37 New York Devil Dogs
This is gonna be a great offense vs. defense showdown. RIF will bring the heavy passing attack, and NYDD will bring a very solid defense. Both these teams seem to be struggling in their leagues, which is why they are in the 30s. This game will be won by whos strong side has the better show.
Prediction: Falcons soar over the bulldogs 28-21
