The final preseason game has been removed from the calculations and the results have the Lake Opeta Legionnaires moving up to #1 for the first time this season. With a 4-game difference in strength of record, #2 Doinitin Djibouti might be able to regain the top spot with a win over the Cairo Emperors since a victory over the winless Angola Pirates won't do anything for LOL's strength of record.
The Dar es Salaam Warrior Kings remained undefeated with a 47-23 win over ESM to stay at #3 and the Sierra Leone Stallions defeated the former sixth-ranked TLGoT by a score of 37-29 to remain at #4. The Angola Spider Monkeez moved up two places to claim the #5 spot after a 33-22 win against the Angola Dream, the previously fifth-ranked team.
Lots of small changes this week but the big movers are the Sons of Anubis climbing 10 spots, and the Cairo Emperors and Angola Dream both falling 8 places after a loss.

--- Predicted Scores ---
There are a couple of scores that seem a bit strange to me (including a predicted tie in Elephant). The 255-0 games might be throwing off the numbers more now that all the preseason games have been removed. Still, the spreadsheet has been pretty accurate with the winners up to this point so I guess we'll see.

Seychelles Island Sea Wolves vs. Ethiopia Devils 40-18
Dar es Salaam Warrior Kings vs. Rwanda Royal Knights 42-32
