again not a ton of time tonight, but i have enough to make picks and observations. power rankings coming on monday with the week 6 picks.
Helsinki Hitmen at Cologne Ghosts
-Preview: Great game potentially, although I think Helsinki might be too strong here. Cologne needs to figure out how to stop the Hitmen rushing offense if they are to pull this one out.
-Prediction: Helsinki 42-24
Norwich Nighthawks at Stockholm Dynamites
-Preview: Blowout.
-Prediction: Stockholm 100-0
Athens Devils at Barcelona Dare Devils
-Preview: The game of the week. Both teams are similarly talented on offense and defense, but I think Athens has just a little bit more firepower on both sides of the ball. I'm going with Athens in a close one.
-Prediction: Athens 31-27
The Fantasy Helmet Project at Dusseldorf Noobs
-Preview: Blowout
-Prediction: Dusseldorf 83-0
Mannheim Spartans at South Beach Sea Hawks
-Preview: Blowout
-Prediction: South Beach 70-7
Gonadian Knights at Liverpool SEA Fusion
-Preview: Liverpool gets a freebie to stay in the playoff hunt.
-Prediction: Liverpool 63-3
Burlington Blue Devils at Hamburg Vipers
-Preview: Blowout.
-Prediction: Burlington 72-0
Glasgow Vultures at Flat Packed Monkey
-Preview: Glasgow has lost a lot of games that they played decently in. They will cruise in this one.
-Prediction: Glasgow 100-0
Birmingham Polipocs at Lyon Winemakers
-Preview: Blowout.
-Prediction: Lyon 66-3
Southampton Shadows at Chambersburg Trojans
-Preview: Blowout:
-Prediction: Chambersburg 70-7
Middlesbrough Mayhem at Baden Bandits
-Preview: Baden bounces back with a big blowout for the Bandits.
-Prediction: Baden 54-13
Berlin Blitz at Sexintown Rubbers
-Preview: Blowout.
-Prediction: Berlin 126-0
Reading Armed Centaurs at Atlanta 404
-Preview: One last chance for Reading to prove that they are a player in Zeta. Lose this one and they're toast as far as home games in the playoffs go. Lose it badly and the playoffs themselves are in doubt. Atlanta can look to further solidify their position with a big win here. I like Reading in the upset.
-Prediction: Reading 27-21
Stockholm Lions at Luxembourg Lightning Bolts
-Preview: Stockholm builds on their big win last week with another W against an overmatched Luxembourg team.
-Prediction: Stockholm 63-20
Palermo Panthers at Milan Eagles
-Preview: Palermo continues to impress with games like last week's, and has a great opportunity to build with a big win here.
-Prediction: Palermo 33-14
Denver Hounds at Capeside Minutemen
-Preview: Blowout.
-Prediction: Denver 144-0
