I'm providing a space for Luke to put his predictions.

I'm overly curious to see how Compton stacks up against West Bend today.

Game Of The Week
#4 French Dirty Lick Whorns (8-2-0) @ #5 Canton Hall Of Famers (8-2-0)
Unarguably week 11’s game of the week; French Lick have proved they are a much improved side, and liable to make a good run in the playoffs. Five straight victories including an 11-point win over the Bristol Bullets and a defeat to the now 7-3 ducks leaves the Whorns just outside the top 4 in my playoff estimates, but with a bit of luck and good tactics I wouldn’t be surprised to see them pull off a surprise. The Famers have continued their good form from last season, and enter this week’s game with their own run of four straight victories. They have proved a solid side in all their games this season and only lost narrowly to D.C. in week 6, so expect a hotly contested affair here at Fawcett Stadium.

Canton 48-28 Whorns

Actual: 30-24


#1 Eleven Wise Monkeys (9-1-0) @ #10 Space Coast Storm Surge (4-6-0)
Last week’s comfortable victory over the Warlocks made it 8 straight victories for the Monkeys, who have outscored their opponents 991-49 in that period. This is in stark contrast to the Surges’ recent form which, due to a change of ownership and player movement, has meant they have lost their last 4 on the bounce and were shutout last week by the Devils. They will do very well to hang on to the free scoring Monkeys in this fixture but shouldn’t take a heavy defeat too much to heart.

Surge 3–84 Monkeys

Actual: 59-0

#2 D.C. Warriors (9-1-0) @ #8 Bristol Bullets (6-4-0)
Following their week 10 victory Oregon, the Warriors have now faced all but one of the top 8 sides, the only side remaining are the Bullets. A strong performance on both sides of the ball against the Ducks will have left them brimming with confidence heading into this week. The Bullets provided the upset of week 10 and possibly one of the upsets of the season so far, and means they have no reason to fear any sides in A#1. Another upset this week, will prove to the league they are no one game wonders and should watched with care heading into the playoffs.

Bullets 17–35 Warriors

Actual: 42-17

#3 Orlando Dogg Pound (8-2-0) @ #15 Buncha Nobodies (0-10-0)
The Dogg Pound will still be feeling the effects of a shock week 10 defeat to the underdog Bullets, and this is the perfect opportunity for them to get back on track. The defeat came as a shock to many as Orlando are so far the only side to defeat the Monkeys and were heavily backed after that victory all the way back in week 2. The Nobodies are chugging along quite nicely, they are certainly not close to strong enough to compete from victories but have prevented any 255+ points defeats this season something the other sides have been unable to match.

Nobodies 0-188 Dogg Pound

Actual: 135-7

#6 Oregon Ducks (7-3-0) vs #12 Colorado Storm (3-7-0)
Oregon are coming off the back of their worst run of results so far this season, and after two consecutive defeats and 3 in their last 4, see them fall to their lowest standing all season. They will learn from their defeat last week to the Bullets and hopefully (for their Owners and GMs) this will make them a stronger and better prepared side. Colorado is a good remedy after a headache loss. Colorado on the other hand is coming off their biggest win of the season, albeit against the winless Spartans, but will not be expecting any miracles here.

Ducks 52–3 Storm

Actual: 43-3

#7 Murder City Devils (7-3-0)@ #9 USAORG Exiles (4-6-0)
With a victory over Space Coast, the Devils made it 4 victories in a row since their defeat to the Ducks in week 6. They have proved they have a very high powered offence and have put up impressive numbers all season. They will be looking for another victory here, heading into a three game stretch which includes the Whorns, Famers and Monkeys and will define their season. The Exiles will be licking their wounds a little after two defeats in a row, but things won’t get easier today or next week when they head to the Jungle.

Exiles 14–42 Devils

Actual: 41-10

#11 Care Bears (3-7-0) @ #16 Columbus Spartans (0-10-0)
The Bears head into this tie still lagging behind the playoffs hopefuls and in need of a an amazing run, coinciding with a fair amount of luck to make the playoffs. A big victory here will go a small way to help achieving this target. Unfortunately there isn’t anything else I can say for the Spartans that I haven’t already said, they are clearly a rebuilding side and are just being completed overwhelmed.

Spartans 0-255 Bears

Actual: 188-0

#13 Compton ‘nilla Wafers (2-8-0) @ #14 West Bend Warlocks (2-8-0)
Two very different 2-8 sides meet this week, one side being Compton who are probably the best 2-8 side in any of the USA A leagues and heavily out level West Bend. And then you have the Warlocks who have an overall rating of just 30 and would struggle in BBB leagues. However, the league is how it is an Compton head into this tie hoping not only to record a victory but rack up some points too. The Warlocks are fortunate in that they play in the same conference as the Nobodies and Spartans which will stop them from being relegated this year, although the management will have a tough time in the offseason trying to turn this side around.

Warlocks 0–160 Wafers


Actual: 193-0
