Burlington Blue Devils at Chambersburg Trojans
-Preview: Evenly matched, should be a good game. Burlington isn't a known quantity at this point. Both played well enough to win their first scrims, Chambersburg however didn't. I'm flipping a coin and going with Burlington here.
-Prediction: Burlington 37-21
WRONGStockholm Lions at Cologne Ghosts
-Preview: I don't think the new and improved Lions have the firepower on defense to stop Cologne. Upsets are always possible though when Cologne is concerned.
-Prediction: Cologne 51-21
CORRECTAtlanta 404 at Stockholm Dynamites
-Preview: Clearly the game of the week. Both championship contenders draw each other in week one, no time is wasted before this bloodbath. I think Stockholm has the better team, but Atlanta's chemistry might tip the scales toward their side.
-Prediction: Stockholm 27-24
CORRECT (but wasn't close at all)Hamburg Vipers at Lyon Winemakers
-Preview: Blowout is the forecast.
-Prediction: Lyon 77-7
CORRECTBirmingham Polipocs at Liverpool SEA Fusion
-Preview: another evenly matched game. I don't trust Birmingham until they show me they can win vs. decent teams. Neither scrimmage they have played was against a quality opponent.
-Prediction: Liverpool 34-17
WRONGHelsinki Hitmen at Southhampton Shadows
-Preview: Blowout.
-Prediction: Helsinki 70-0
CORRECTGlasgow Vultures at Denver Hounds
-Preview: Denver is going to try to work there way back into the league's elite with this one. The overall numbers are close but I think they will be misleading as to how the game will end up.
-Prediction: Denver 47-28
WRONGBerlin Blitz at Athens Devils
-Preview: Another awesome matchup for week one, good slate of games overall. Both teams have potent offenses, and defensive questions. This should be a very entertaining, high scoring game.
-Prediction: Berlin 54-45
WRONGMannheim Spartans at Capeside Minutemen
-Preview: Two awful teams. Mannheim is less awful I think.
-Prediction: Mannheim 40-0
CORRECTGonadian Knights at Baden Bandits
-Preview: Blowout.
-Prediction: Baden 77-10
CORRECTReading Armed Centaurs at South Beach Sea Hawks
-Preview: Yet another closely matched game. I think its a tossup but South Beach has the stronger defense and higher chemistry.
-Prediction: South Beach 34-24
CORRECTNorwich Nighthawks at Luxembourg Lightning Bolts
-Preview: Another tossup here, although I do think that Norwich has less holes.
-Prediction: Norwich 34-30
WRONGMiddlesbrough Mayhem at The Fantasy Helmet Project
-Preview: Blowout.
-Prediction: Middlesbrough 63-7
CORRECTMilan Eagles at Barcelona Dare Devils
-Preview: Chemistry and overall talent swing Barcelona's way in this one.
-Prediction: Barcelona 45-24
CORRECTBarcelona Panthers at Dusseldorf Noobs
-Preview: I think this one doesn't look like its going to be close at all. Barcelona's offensive line has serious issues that will keep its defense on the field early and often.
-Prediction: Dusseldorf 35-10
CORRECTSexintown Rubbers at Flat Packed Monkey
-Preview: Messina has a new name, and a lot of CPU players. Sexintown had better win this one or they really can never be taken seriously.
-Prediction: Sexintown 47-0
CORRECTI wont be able to make picks for week 2 because I am still on vacation, but I'll hopefully do better in week 3
