They said the East was stronger last season with the amount of talent in that League. This year the West can beg a differ. This year the West appears to be not only stronger then the East of this season but of last season as well. You have 6-1 teams at the number 1 and 2 spots. Then you have 3 through 8 seeds at a combine total of 5-2. Now every game for the rest of the season in the West will be critical. You could be a number 1 seed for a week and drop two in a row and possibly drop down to the eighth seed or lower. So next games will mark the halfway point and it should start to shape up the league even more. But how important are these next game? Well looking at there schedules it is now very important for all 8 seeds as well as the bottom 8 as well.
1San Jose Saints Vs. 3Washington Extreme
San Jose Spartans who are currently in 1st place in the West will have to play a very good Washington Extreme team who sits at 3rd in the West. San Jose looks like they do not have any bad games besides the possible upset they had against Flathead. Scoring only 3 points in that game is rough. But are the Extreme as good as people have made them out to be? First they lost to Oakland in possibly the biggest upset in USA Pro yet and then lost to DDT by 3 last game. Dropping 3 games in a row will be very difficult. This will be the Number 1 game to watch this week in the West for sure.
2Detriot Dump Trucks Vs. 4San Antonio Saints
DDT who have proved they are a very stronge team are going to take on the Saints who have changed things around from last season and sit at the 4th spot in the West. A loss here can bring them all the way down to the bottom seeds of 6, 7, and 8 but a we will promote them possibly to a top 2 or 3 seed. A win for DDT will keep them atleast at the number 2 spot. If they lose this game who knows how far they can go down. DDT will only continue to get stronger. Saints are new to the winning game and are possibly the Most Improved Team right now.
5Utopia Legends Vs. 6Denver Globetrotters
With bost teams being 5-2 this should be a close one. Utopia have proved they can beat the big dogs in the League. They destroyed the Gangsters in there last meeting but now it seems like they will play the gangsters again, but with a twist. Denver and the Gangsters seemed to merge teams this last night and now Denver has to be a team that will have to be looked out for. Take Denvers high passing team and add it with the Gangsters incredible running game and you have one of the most complete teams in all of USA Pro. Legends proved they can beat the Gangsters running style but now they will have to go up against the new "Denver team". Should be a very interesting matchup. Denver is definalty a underated team at this point.
7Golden State Athletics Vs. 8Flathead Just Go Krazy
Golden State has won 4 in a row now and look to be on a roll. However they have not beat a team with a winning record yet. Here is there chance. Flathead Just Go Krazy has to be going "Krazy" that they were able to beat DDT and the Spartans this week, and then to top it off a kiler against the Gamblers. However they have not moved up in the standing at all. They have stuck at the 8th spot. Golden State looks to actually be the most overrated team right now ever though they are at the 7th spot. Flathead looks to be one of the most underrated team. Golden State will look to take out the Krazy. Both coming off 4 plus game winning streaks. One ends tomorrow.
