It's "the weekend ain't here yet and I'm stuck working" country edition of the power rankings. Enjoy, y'all.

Doinitin "Squeal Like a Pig, Boy" Djibouti is back in Season 6 form and defended their #1 spot with a solid win against the Ghana "Dueling" Buffalos. Lake Opeta "10 Feet Tall and Bulletproof" Legionnaires moved into #2 after knocking the Angola "Achy Breaky Heart" Blood Diamonds down to #3. The Nairobi "Ain't Going Down (Til The Sun Comes Up)" Warthogs had the biggest move up, from #23 to #13, while the Cairo "Friends In Low Places" Emperors had the biggest drop, from #10 to #20.

Set 'em up, Joe.

Thanks for these. I had to go do some scouting so I can try to live up to the Spreadsheet and SV's picks of having us beat the Dar es.

The spreadsheet is taking into account the preseason games before they went CPU. That always throws off the predictions. I could adjust it but why bother.

Here are the predictions vs. final scores:

Lion

Casablanca Sultans vs. Red Sea Wave 72-15 (65-72)
Dar es Salaam Warrior Kings vs. Seychelles Island Sea Wolves 29-31 (27-24)
Nigeria Nightmares vs. Angola Spider Monkeez 37-36 (22-31)
Ethiopia Devils vs. South African Ridgebacks 32-43 (42-58)
Angola Dream vs. Zambia Lions 86-41 (94-13)
Pangani Peckerwoods vs. Nairobi Warthogs 25-33 (48-55)
Rwanda Royal Knights vs. Windhoek White Rhinos 45-34 (62-44)
Ethiopian Starvin' Marvins vs. Sahara ShadowChasers 40-60 (40-54)

Elephant

Lake Opeta Legionnaires vs. Ghana Buffalos 50-12 (34-30)
Doinitin Djibouti vs. UN Peacekeepers 74-17 (93-6)
Zimbabwe Hyenas vs. Somalia Pirates 9-56 (6-41)
Cairo Emperors vs. TORO'S TEXANS 43-16 (17-16)
Sierra Leone Stallions vs. Sons of Anubis 56-36 (66-30)
Angola Pirates vs. The Last Gunfighters of Texas 2-215 (0-219)
Mogadishu Malice vs. Congo Cripplers 32-31 (9-24)
Durban Donkeys vs. Angola Blood Diamonds 5-188 (0-255)

The spreadsheet was 12-4 at predicting winners this week. Didn't hit any exact scores but came close on the ESM vs. SSC and AP vs. TLGoT games. I plan to start dropping preseason games next week but will probably run a couple sets of predictions to see if it's more accurate with or without.
