GAME OF THE WEEK
Nairobi vs Alexandria
Nairobi has not lost a game since week 1 and has come through in some impressive wins this season. Alexandria has been on a roll with a 4 game win streak. This should be a great game that will help solidify Nairobi's case as one of the best teams this season if they win. The Aces are not to be taken lightly though. I think Nairobi will come through in the end with another close victory.

Somali @ Algeria
The Pirates dominance continues this week as they face off against Algeria.

Cybertron vs Saskatoon
Bye week for the War Machine as they continue the easiest patch of their schedule.

Sterling @ Fulham
Sterling bounced back last week with a dominating showing against the Warriors and now has to face off against an impressive Fulham squad. Both teams are looking to win this game to keep pace for a playoff seed. Fulham needs this win more sitting at 4-4 and, I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is a team that has not been handed an easy schedule so they are MUCH better than their record would indicate. I think they pull the upset here. Close losses to Cybertron and Nile prove that they are a team to be reckoned with and I can see them going on a tear the last 4 weeks to make a push at the 7-8th seed. This was my runner-up to GOTW but Nairobi/Alexandria is too good to pass up.

Nile vs Carolina
The Crocodiles are entering the easiest 5 week stretch of their schedule. They need to take at least 4 of these games to keep pace for a lower seeded playoff spot and this week should be an easy one as they face a Carolina team that has only gotten 3 wins against teams that are a combined 1-23.

West Yorkshire
@ LHC
Bye week for the Bandits as they start preparing for Nile next week.

BURUNDI @ West Nile
Bye week for Burundi heading into a matchup against Cybertron next week.

Hungry @ West Coast
Bye week for the Hippos with a nightmare 5 week stretch to follow with Nairobi, Fulham, Alexandria, Sterling and Somali lined up. Could be the last win the Hippos see until week 15.

Great write up. Like our last 2 games, I think this game will be a nail biter. This has been a helluva 3 game stretch. Good luck to the Aces.

Definitely a big game for both teams. We won't be overlooking them just because they're only 4-4. Fulham is a very good team and I know they need this win even though they're schedule is lightening up now.

It's a shame there are only 2 really good games this week but the two games are big ones for all 4 teams involved.

As usual, great write up E.

Good luck to the Death Squad as well.

John Clancy, I'm really impressed how the Death Squad have turned things around from last season.

Should be a great game.

Those two games will get a lot of attention from myself and my staff as we haven't played any of them yet. We have a hellish schedule coming up soon.
