Games of the Week:

#3 Las Vegas at #4 Silverymoon

This battle will go a long way in determining who gets a home playoff game. Both these teams rely on their defense because their offenses can sputter at times. It will all come down to who can make the bigger plays and withstand the other teams’ pressure.
Prediction: This game could get ugly quick as both teams know how to pressure QBs, but can have trouble getting into the endzone. I’ll give the nod to Las Vegas because they were able to score a little more against the big 2.
Predicted Score: 17-9 Las Vegas


#1 Great Plains vs #6 Portland


Once again Portland will try to upset an upper tier team. Hopefully they’ll have a different result than last time.
Prediction: This game will play out similar to last game. Portland will be in trouble against one of the best defenses in the league. It’s just a matter of how many points Great Plains will be able to put up on the scoreboard.
Predicted Score: 34-6 Great Plains


#8 Oakland at #11 Scottsdale

Oakland needs to continue winning to lock up a spot in the playoffs, while Scottsdale has faded fast and really needs this game to stay viable. Oakland has been close to pulling some upsets, but its offense has sputtered when it has needed it most. Meanwhile Scottsdale has had trouble keeping offenses down.

Prediction: This is the type of game that Oakland needs to show up for and dominate in order to assert itself as a playoff team. I believe that the Oakland offense will find a way to show up and pull out a big rout.
Predicted Score: 27-10 Oakland

Current “Game of the Week” Record: 24-10

Thanks Scarlet and good luck tomorrow bro.

Thanks Scarlet. Good luck today. I expect a low scoring affair.

Our swim through the top of the division continues...I just hope we can make a better showing of ourselves than we did with Waco.

I'm saying!!!!!

ugh. brutal week for us. we had this one won.

we caused four fumbles, but recovered none. we fumbled three times, and lost all three - two of them on punts and inside the 20, leading to 10 points.

that was the difference this game.

it sucks when the only luck you have is bad luck.

Tell me about it. It seems that way every week for us this season.

GG Noobs, that package the kicker received right before the game, that was from you Scarlet, right?

there are plenty of aspects of this game, that, as the season goes on, make it easier for winning teams to keep winning, and harder for losing teams to win.

i know it sounds like "well, you feel that way because you're on a losing team", but the little things - like morale hits for losing and chemistry hits for trying to build a team - combine to make for bigger things.

in the long run, i feel it'll hurt the game, because people who lose generally won't want to keep (paying) playing.

there's also the fact that i think the game is growing too fast - too many teams being added without kinks being worked out first.
