#1 -- SLS beat Cairo 44-20 to basically guarantee their second straight 15-1 season. Nearly every team in APL has some chance to win each week but I can't see Zimbabwe managing an upset here.

#2 -- LOL finished with a score of 103-3 against a castrated Toro team but would need to win this week and have SLS lose to regain the top seed for Elephant. Somalia is up next but they don't appear to be quite as strong as they seemed a week ago.

#3 -- DD gave Tea Baggins 30 plays again and defeated Somalia 55-10. Was DD playoff-ready while Somalia was having an off day, or are these two teams really that far apart? We'll probably find out in a couple of weeks. Meanwhile, DD1 will likely use their Ancient super-weapon again this week to destroy Anubis' children.

#4 -- SISW took over the top spot in Lion with a 56-32 win against Sahara but can't let up against ASM this week; DeSWK would have the head-to-head tiebreaker if they finish with the same record.

#5 -- DeSWK lost to Windhoek 34-51 and needs a win against Sahara this week to avoid possibly losing tiebreakers to three teams and missing out on any home playoff games.

In the rest of the top 10:

* Somalia is still at #6 after losing to DD 10-55 but LOL comes to town this week
* Sahara stayed at #7 despite losing to SISW 32-56 and things don't get any easier with DeSWK up next
* At #8, ASM parted the Red Sea 68-3 but faces the top Lion team this week
* WWR climbed to #9 after the 51-34 win over DeSWK and should trample the Sultans this week
* AD escaped with 52-51 victory against RRK to hold onto #10 and will face Ethiopia to end the season

Not many other changes this week.

Predictions have been added. The spreadsheet had another even game with Nairobi and Rwanda so highest-ranked team is favored.

Thanks for the predictions. I just hope it's right about the Seychelles game.

As for the Nairobi/RRK game, this could be close, or one team could run away with it. I have no clue what's going to happen in this game.
