Stobie puts more thought into these but that doesn't stop me from throwing my hat into the ring:
Helmand Provincial Pathan Pansies (1-2) vs Nashville Ninjas (1-2)
Helmand's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry managed to magically recover all of their chemistry. I think we've clearly seen what a big impact that has had and I expect them to continue their newly found winning streak this week.
Helmand 28 - Nashville 17
Sacramento B-Squad (1-2) vs Alpine (1-2)
Alpine barely seems to be paying attention this season but their talent has at least kept them in games. My gut is telling me go with Alpine but my head is telling me to go with Sacramento... Alpine certainly showed they have difficulty stopping the run against Portland but they showed that their offense is still strong by putting up points against Detroit's strong pass defense. I'm calling a tie.
Sacramento 35 - Alpine 35
Osprey Orphans (0-3) vs Rocky Mountain Reapers (1-2)
The Reapers have hit some tough pass defenses which have led to a misleading record. Their offense is still plenty strong and took it to MOD last week. Also, it's the Orphans. Reapers win.
RMR 35 - OO 17
Tampa Piranhas (2-1) vs Ministry of Dotball (1-2)
I almost had this game as a third co-game of the week but at that point half of the games are games of the week and that's just silly. MOD's another team I'm not sure what to make of. They show flashes of brilliant play and flashes of terrible play. I think they'll give Tampa a run for it but Tampa's steadiness on both sides of the ball should win the game for them.
Tampa 24 - MOD 17
Co-games of the week:
American Hustlers (2-1) vs Detroit Foreclosures (3-0)
I didn't want to include this as one of the games of the week because it includes my team but 3-0 vs 2-1 should be a good matchup. We scrimmed each other tight last season but Detroit's past few games give me pause. I'm planning to win this but I'm going to call it a Hustlers win.
American 24 - Detroit 21 (Detroit misses two FGs)
DeepRoute Allstars (2-1) vs Dookie Island (3-0)
Both of these teams have surprised me thusfar but I just can't bring myself to fully buy into DeepRoute. They've struggled a lot in the ladder and they got Helmand before the chem issues were solved. I think Dookie will take an early lead and them hold off DeepRoute til the end.
DeepRoute 17 - Dookie 27
