I saw someone else already posted these but I figured I would just continue mine in a different thread to avoid confusion. It seemed to be pretty popular last week with 108 posts. Anyways I'm stealing the formatting from the other thread but this will just give you two people's opinions to work this. Sorry I can't get to these earlier than 6pm cst on the day before sim.
Current Record 6-2
1. #5 Seattle Seahawks vs #1 Doinitin Djibouti - http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/156/198
I just don't see DD losing this week. They have been practicing a ton of scrims lately and it seems like whatever they are planning is working. It's a good matchup and while I think Seattle has a chance and they proved last week how stupid I was to bet against them, I'm just not sure they have enough at this stage to win. I think to beat DD you have to run the ball well and take over TOP and thats just not something Seahawks pride themselves on.
Prediction: DD wins 13-7
2. #8 Rocky Mountain Reapers vs #2 Maine Snails - http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/41/205
If I've learned anything about this game its that a top defense is required to win. Both of these teams have a very solid D. However RMR excels at blitzing and the snails win by not getting sacked. I think this is a low scoring game but I don't see RMR able to shut out the snails without getting to the qb. I think in the end it'll come down to a last minute TD pass and without being able to get to the qb the snails will pick up the win.
Prediction: Maine wins 10-3
3. #7 Hawaii Bulls vs #3 Sunday Funday - http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/36/161
I was right last week with both of these teams in relation to showing some worrisome issues with the way the team runs. This week I believe that Sunday Funday is just too powerful for the Bulls. The bulls don't have a great pass defense and don't force a ton of turnovers. Without doing that and having an elite D its very hard to beat SF.... (Even if their Owner apparently doesn't gameplan for ladder games and thinks they are stupid and a waste of time. =\)
Prediction: SF wins 21-9
4. #10 Points at Dick vs #4 Engage with Zorp! - http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/37/125
Similar team and I really couldn't find a reason to give one an edge over another. The only thing I can think of is maybe PAD will get sacked and fumble leading to a one drive bonus for Zorp. I'm not confident enough to give one team the edge so I'm going to give them my big bold Prediction of the week.
Bold Prediction: TIE 10-10
5. #14 Hub City Hustlers vs #6 Queen City Brewmasters - http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/87/7
Man I don't see anything here that gives me a reason to pick one team over the other except one. Hub City has double the sacks and ff as queen city. However, when big games come up for Hub City they don't seem to show up well. I see Queen City holding on to the ball and running out the game to a very low score.
Prediction: QCB wins 6-0
6. #11 Carolina Pirates vs #9 Annapolis Freedom - http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/107/152
Carolina looks like a team that hasn't been able to adjust to the balance of the game yet. A team that was once thought to be a top team seems to have had trouble rebounding from a tough stretch. I think AF is one of those teams built to beat Carolina and I'm having a hard time seeing them going home without a win. Look for AF to squeek by this one with a super close win.
Prediction: Freedom win 7-6
