Prague Sharks (3-0) vs Warsaw Eagles (2-1)
Both teams are coming off wins in Week 3, Prague dialing it in over the Shammin' Cocks 66-10 and the Eagles serving the Cowboys a 31-17 loss by really exploiting the level gap between their offense and the Cowboys defense. Prague is a *very* solid team, as expected from the current #1 of Zeta, and have a great offense headed up by the self proclaimed "Best HB Tandem in the League". Defensively they aren't any slouches either, so the Eagles' offensive linemen are quite possibly going to be abused this week. I'd like to say something positive for the Eagles, to give them a glimmer of hope at least, but I honestly don't see Prague losing this game outside of their team being sold off.

Akihabara Anime All-Stars(3-0) vs Long Island Legion (1-2)
Akihabara is coming off a win last week against the AZ Knights 47-14, while the Legion dropped a tough one to the Coyotes 10-20. I believe the Legion has drawn "The Crappiest Schedule to Start With" Award, as they've now had to play 3 of the top 4 teams in Zeta. Their (1-2) record at this point is no reason to take them lightly, as they too have a solid offense, and a defense that has very few positions to exploit. As I'm completely biased in this match-up, I do believe the Legion has a shot to take the All-Stars, but they *must* shut down their offense, which has yet to be accomplished. I'm probably setting myself up for a fall, but I don't think the Legion is quite at the level the All-Stars are playing at; come playoff time it may be a different story.

The Red Army (3-0) vs Gdansk Breakers (1-2)
The Red Army brought the Hoplites to tears last week, annihilating them 52-3 while Gdansk lost a close one to the Silly Nannies 33-37. Gdansk does have some high leveled players thrown into their line-up, but a few bright spots aren't going to be able to stop a complete package team from lighting them up. Unfortunately, The Red Army *is* a complete package team and the Breakers are going to be broken in body and spirit after their game this week.

Mukachevo Coyotes (3-0) vs Kharkiv Cossacks (2-1)
The Coyotes beat a tough Long Island Legion team 20-10 last week, killing my upset prediction, while the Cossacks beat the Bobcats in a 16-14 nail-biter... my other wrong prediction for the week. ChristoPher Sing321's rushing game *must* be halved this week for the Cossacks to have a chance. Of course, doing that is a lot harder than saying it, as the Coyotes have a fantastic O-Line blocking for him. If their running game does get stalled, that O-Line also blocks for QB Chicago Jarufe who has some serious weapons at WR and TE to use. By no means am I saying that the Cossacks are a bad team, they aren't; what I am saying is that the Cossacks just aren't at the level of play that the Coyotes are at.
Coyotes 38 - Cossacks 14
London Silly Nannies (2-1) vs Shannon Shammin' Cocks (0-3)
The Nannies are coming off a good win against Gdansk this week, and are going to be moving to (3-1) as they've drawn the Shammin' Cocks this week. The Cocks are coming off a 66-10 beating from Prague, and with the way the Nannies offense is built, could be receiving another one quite like it. There are a few bright spots on the Shammin' Cocks, but a WR, K, and Punter, do not a team make. The Cocks will get on the scoreboard this week, as they almost always do, but just as always, it won't be enough.
London Silly Nannies 52 - Shannon Shammin' Cocks 17
Houston Bulls (1-2) vs South London Cowboys (1-2)
Houston won big over the Nebraska Corn Growers last week 38-7, while the Cowboys got handled by the Warsaw Eagles 31-17. Houston has a completely human starting line-up, that ranges from high to mid levels. The Cowboys offense is the bright half of the team, and matched up against the Bull's defense, it doesn't look bright at all. The Cowboys defense is a work in progress, unfortunately for them, the Bulls offense is finished and firing on all cylinders. This game is tale of very different (1-2) teams, and I would be astounded if Houston lost.
Houston Bulls 42 - South London Cowboys 10
Nebraska Corn Growers (1-2) vs AZ Knights (0-3)
Both of these teams lost last week, Nebraska to the Bulls 38-7, while the AZ Knights got out-gunned by the All-Stars 47-14. The Corn Growers are a work in progress, built much like the Shammin' Cocks but with, generally, higher levels and dare I say more important high level players in key positions. The AZ Knights have middling level players for the most part, although they too have high level players at key positions, on defense, their safeties are top notch to be sure. With both teams sporting a few high levels, this game will be won on the backs of the non-glamor players, which gives the edge to the Knights.
Nebraska Corn Growers 7 - Az Knights 31
Bangor Bobcats (1-2) vs Spartan Hoplites (0-3)
Bangor lost a close one 16-14 to the Cossacks last week, while the Hoplites were just struck down by The Red Army 52-3. The Bobcats strength offensively seems to be in their line and HB which spells bad news for the Hoplites as their defense may be too inexperienced to stop the Bobcats running game with any efficiency. This is also a game where we could see big yardage in the air from the Bobcats, as the Hoplites seem to be having issues defending against the passing game as well. Bangor, defensively, has even less to worry about. The Hoplites offense seems shoddy at best, and looks to be more likely to score FGs than TDs.
