The undefeated Las Vegas Beast travel to Moose Jaw this week to take on the 5-1 Blazers in their uniquely named arena, Blazers Stadium. These two teams last met in an unsavory season 6 where the Beast squeaked out a regular season win by 2 pts, settling for a winning FG in the final minutes of the 4th. The Beast did go on to accomplish an undefeated S6 and then solidly put away the Moose 56-33, in game 2 of said season playoffs.
Tomorrow is the first day of Moose season and the Beast have license. With a retooled roster and bragging rights for the #1 offense in the league, LV has the Moose scoped cleanly in their cross hairs and should lean heavily on their stellar passing game to target their prize. But Beast beware, MJB has an air attack of their own that slightly outperforms LV, making up for any inadequacies in their running game. With their only loss to the Slashers, MJB is hoping to gain some more ground in the power rankings and of course, spoil LV's perfect record.
Analysis:
MJB's strong suit - passing, passing and a lot more F'ing passing. Also +4 turnover ratio.
MJB's weak spot - their secondary. Giving up almost 240 passing yds per game, it appears to be only a bit stronger than wet toilet paper. LV should be bombing their Corners back to the Stone Age.
LVB's strong suit - they appear to have a dual threat with both pass and run - being in the top 3 on both. I say appear only because this is by far the strongest test for the Beast in their schedule thus far. LV has yet to play a team in the top 8. Also, their secondary should be strong enough to shutdown any air attack the Meese can throw at them. Along with a marginal chem advantage, they have an outstanding +11 turnover ratio and an impressive ST returner.
LVB's weak spot is their inability to effectively stop the run. If you throw out the two bottom teams in the conf (no offense), they are only slightly better than mediocre giving up a tad over 100 yds per game on the ground against teams in the lower 8.
Pre-game Quotes from both owners:
Gametime0924 "I feel a little Sickie"
sickie8305 "Gametime is never 0924. WTF is he thinking?"
Prediction:
The Beast bag their Moose limit, 41-24 as they go bombs over Baghdad giving a whole new meaning to "Blazers Stadium" and stay 7-0 undefeated.
