Record thus far: 16 - 0 (altho the spreads were pretty bad on most of the picks)
Alpha Conference
* Melbourne Predators 255 - DC Marvels 0
* Devonport Devils 255 - Black Hawks 0
* Port Arthur Hodags 31 - Spruce Grove Elves 20
* Papua New Guinea Macaque and Balls 54 - Orlando Pirates 17
* Guam Tigers 255 - Carlona Krakens 0
* North Philly e-Lemon-ators 42 - College Park Junior Evil Monkeys 21
< Alpha Conference Almost Game of the Week >
There is not alot of parity in this league from top to bottom. Pretty much any decent team will make the playoffs. However, it appears that we have 10 teams that are at least decent, so the battle for the last couple of playoff spots could be intersting. Both of these teams will need this win come playoff time to ensure they are in the top 8. Don't let the records fool you. Their competition has been very different thus far, as Astoria has played two cupcakes and Compton has played two Zeta playoff caliber teams. Neither team has beaten a decent team this season, so it is hard to say who will win this one. My gut says Compton pulls this one out.
Compton Smurfin' Con Men 35 - Astoria Fightin' Titans 24.
< Alpha Conference Game of the Week >
Much like the Compton - Astoria game, this game sees two teams that look pretty evenly matched facing off in a game that will almost certainly have playoff seeding implications. Burnie has the levels (effective and normal) while Brasilia has the scouting bar advantage. I know it was just preseason, but they played two common opponents to very similar results, so I expect this one to be great. My pick is Brasilia to win with a 4th quarter TD.
Brasilia Rampaging Rhino's 27 - Burnie Bruisers 24

Zeta Conference
* Asau Pirates 124 - Alexandria Eagles 0
* Athens Golden Eagles 255 - Cleveland Steamers 0
* Charlotte 49ers 200 - Newcastle Killer Bees 0
* Amsterdam Muff Slamers 255 - C-town Cobras 0
* An Album Cover 255 - Carihana Anacondas 0
* Texas Chargers 200 - Cairns City Crocodiles 0
< Zeta Conference Game of the Week >
Not much time to do a big write-up. Here's my pick:
Hobart Tazzy Tigers 38 - The Men from Nantucket 17
