Basically everyone post their predictions of the matches in here:

BTW How do you make the winners in bold?

Western Conference:

Saskatoon Screaming Eagles vs Windsor Walruses (17-24)
I think the amazing passing game will be too strong for the overrated Eagles.

Charleston Black Dragons vs Village Dogs (34-7)
The dragons passing game and great Wideouts will be too strong with the inclusion of a couple of lvl 12's and 13's at the CB, DE and DT positions.

Toronto Eh vs the Montreal Knights (0-57)
The Knights will be way too strong with their defense staring. There will be a lot of sacks, intercepts and hurries in this match I can guarntee that.

Tomahawk Laser Cats vs Winnipeg Flyers (6-14)
This will be a match of 2 very struggling teams. If you were smart enough to notice I put 6 for the Cats because they have a lvl 4 kicker. I think they'll get a TD then miss the PAT.

Rocky Mountain Gladiators vs Lyon Predators (34-6)
Rocky Mountain will be way too strong against this shit team. The Predators have a lvl 11 QB who is one of their best players but his best reciever is a 8 WR and their TE is a lvl 1.

Northern Polar Bears vs the Toronto Moose (70-3)
The Polar bears will be way too strong with their blocking skills. They have 2 lvl 13 Guards and a lvl 13 OT which will be monsters to get past. Don't expect any sacks on either of the QB's.

Yukon Blaze vs Alberta Gangsters (66-0)
The Alberta Gangsters have arguably one of the worst teams in the entire of Canada. Their owner hasn't been on for 5 days, they have no Gm's and have 0 human players. Yukon have a great lvl 16 WR who would expect at least 150 catching yards this game.

Moose Factory Mounties vs Manitoba Tigers (66-3)
The Mounties are sitting at 2nd last but don't let that fool you, they actually have 1 of the best teams in their conference with a lvl 13 G, C, OT, G, CB, FS, SS, ROLB and QB and they also have a lvl 14 DE and a lvl 15 HB. The Tigers on the other hand have 1 of the worst teams with their best player being a lvl 13 Kicker. They have 4 Human players a lvl 13 Kicker, a lvl 5 FB, a lvl Dt and a lvl 5 TE.

Those are my predictions for the Western Conference.

Quick question, and this is just a quick observation:

How can you label Tomahawk as struggling when they're 1-0? Matter of fact, how can you label any team as struggling after only one game?

Just because he says something bad about your team doesn't mean you need to get offended, its his opinion.

The better thing would be to prove him wrong.

I don't let myself get offended by opinions, especially when there are no emotional attachments to the opinion. I was just asking how he came to the opinion that he did because it seemed like an ignorant statement based off of one game.

He is going off one game, yes, thats all anyone has to go off.

Which is my point. At this stage, how can you put a 'struggling' tag on a team? 1 game is hardly a way to determine who is who in the league.

i think it will be a close game the outcome will be determined by whose coaches a better game. however i feel the eagles aren't overrated but they need to face a challenge before anyone can truly know how good they are. and this week will be a tough challenge, so after this game you can put the league on notice, or call them overrated, or call them whatever you want.

Hopefully our offense will be able to score that much
My defense will be able to shut them out
We need to start Warryk instead of Bush though

I like the other predictions as well

My prediction of your game wasn't off your record, if it was i would have predicted you to win wouldn't I? I based my decision on who played better the last game and who has a better roster and the Flyers have both a better roster and played better last against a much tougher opponent

But that still doesn't explain how we, or any team, could be considered struggling at this point in the season. And no, you wouldn't have predicted us to win, because even I wouldn't do that against the Flyers. They, on paper, are a better team. It's just the label that you gave that I'm having trouble with. 1 game in, and a team is struggling, after a win no less.

It just doesn't make sense. There isn't a chance for a pattern to develop after one game. If after 3 games, you see that we can't run the ball, and it's hurting our passing game, then you can say that is struggling. If we constantly get into the redzone, but can't get it into the endzone, then you can say that is struggling. But after one game, in which you can't possibly find a pattern, there is no way to define a struggling team.

I'm not wanting to, or trying to, rip you for the work you did on the OP. I'm just trying to understand what you do to form your opinions. So far, there is no merit to your opinions. They're just under-analyzed thoughts.

All my opinions are based on the teams roster and your teams roster is struggling.

All my opinions are based on the teams roster and your teams roster is struggling.


Opinion based off of opinion hardly warrants merit. I bet, by your standards of assumption, that Appalachian State's roster was struggling compared to Michigan's last season. Then, 8 days later, after Michigan's second straight loss, Michigan was the struggling team, and Appalachian State was ranked in the AP Top 25.

My point:
1 Game is not enough to establish a pattern of struggling. Hell, even Michigan, a team labeled as struggling after 2 games, ended up competing for the Big 10. It was the same roster. Why the change from struggling to contender?

If you're going based 100% off of the roster, then you'll do poorly as a seer of outcomes. Find patterns in gameplay, who does good against who, what matchups hurt teams, and you'll have some merit behind your opinions. Until then, they're nothing more than uneducated guesses based off of what you see on paper.

Best part of the whole thing
I just need our offense to score so we can blow them out
I know my defense should do good

If anyone hasn't noticed what we did to our lineup you are blind (offense)
