Benin Black Mambas (4-6) L1 vs. Egyptian War Gods (7-3) W1
Looking at this one on paper just by levels you would think Benin should at least be competitive if not win. However Benin has failed to gameplan, or their builds are not good. Either way there is something wrong there and Egypt will take advantage and win with a strong performance by Pick Boy and Fast W.Parker.
Egypt-35 Benin-21

Freetown Jayhawks (7-3) W1 vs. Savanna Pride (3-6-1) L1
Freetown needs a win to have a shot at a home playoff game. Savanna needs to finish 5-1 to have any shot at the playoffs. Their last game is with Zimbabwe so they have no room for error between now and then. Freetown better win or I'll be mildly upset!
Freetown-42 Savanna-17

Madagascar Wild (8-2) W2 vs. Ivory Coast Breakers (1-8-1) L8
Ivory Coast is simply overmatched by the Wild, and to be honest most of the conference this season. Maybe if they go pass heavy with short passes they might be able to move the ball some and get some points. As for the Wild, they will probably use this game to prepare for Michigan next week.
Madagascar-38 Ivory Coast-14

Uganda Crowned Cranes (5-5) W1 vs. Cardiff Cobras (9-1) W8
Well it's that point in the predictions where I pick against Cardiff. At least this time I think Uganda has a legitimate shot at pulling off the upset unlike past teams that let me down! I don't know if this is a must win for them, but it is extremely important for their playoff hopes. Uganda needs to force some turnovers and needs to sustain some long drives to keep their defense off the field if they want to have any chance against Cardiff.
Uganda-31 Cardiff-28

Mauritius Mountain Lions (8-2) W4 vs. Ethiopian Food Mongers (1-9) L9
I'd criticize Ethiopia more, but I don't want them to fix anything until after week 13. Needless to say they have been the most underachieving team this season. Mauritius will win this one easily. Look for at least one more INT for Akira Minamoto who has looked really impressive recently.
Mauritius-70 Ethiopia-10

Rhodesian Ridgebacks (0-10) L20 vs. P-Town Ballaz (4-6) L4
P-Town gets a break from their rough stretch in the schedule this week with a free win against Rhodesian. If P-Town wants to have any shot at the playoffs they need to beat Freetown next week or Michigan in week 16...they may even need to win both. They can relax today though.
P-Town-210 Savanna-Rhodesian-0

Lethoso Rollers (4-6) W3 vs. Michigan Nation (8-2) L1
This might be the co-game of the week, tied with Uganda vs. Cardiff. Lethoso is clearly better than their record indicates after facing a brutal first half schedule. I think Lethoso's main struggle will be scoring points in this game, but their defense should keep it close. This one might come down to turnovers or even field goals. Then again, it might not even be close! Michigan really needs this one because they have 3 tough games left on the schedule with Madagascar, Mauritius, and Freetown. If they drop this one, a home playoff game will be difficult to secure. Lethoso needs this to keep their playoff hopes alive. Both teams should leave it all on the field in this one!
Lethoso-31 Michigan-28

Zimbabwe Hyenas (10-0) W10 vs. Madagascar Grand JagerMenze (3-7) L4
There really isn't too much to say anymore about Zimbabwe. They really only have a couple more challengers left this season, but I think they'll go undefeated in the regular season. As of now they are the ones to beat in the Elephant conference.
Zimbabwe-48 Madagascar-17

Thanks these are excellent!! The Cranes would enjoy finally proving your Cardiff pick right! It looks to be a tough task though as they are a solid team. We will be happy if we can keep it close and have a shot at the end.

Well, as tempting as it is to overlook this game and scout the Hyenas we are not doing it. This is a winable game for us, one of very few winable games left on the schedule so we are preparing hard for it.

No! You must overlook the Cranes. Don't ruin everything!

Keep up the great work, Stonewall.

Mauritius isn't going to underestimate Ethiopia and I see Cardiff respects Uganda, too.

I agree, the Cranes are a good team and you don't wanna over look them.

No, don't scout the Cranes.

And Stonewall, what is wrong with the Cranes defense?
I thought we had a pretty good Dline.

Nothing wrong with your defense really, but Cardiff has a good offense.

War Gods win, not one pass Mambas?

Looks like Uganda didn't keep their defense off the field. This is what happens when I pick against Cardiff sadly. I did call the Lethoso upset though!
