Sacramento B-Squad (2-5) (133) at Canton Bulldogs (1-6) (120)
MATCHUP: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/160/293

These 2 teams are fared evenly to become a toss up game but not the type of toss up game you want to see. They both are arguably the worst offensive teams in the league. The only advantage is that Sacramento bodes a better defense. By that token alone I will go with them for the low scoring win.

PREDICTION: Sacramento B-Squad 7 - Canton Bulldogs 3

Rhode Island Aftershocks (0-7) (170) at Ministry of Dotball (5-2) (80)
MATCHUP: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/295/357

Ministry after going 1-2 to start the season has rolled off 4 straight league wins and are looking in prime form to close the season out. They are still buying time to have some chemistry catch up and Rhode Island is the perfect team to give them a bump up as Ministry will get to relax this week. Rhode Island has not shown any indication they can compete in this league and do not show signs of changing. :yawn: game of the week.

PREDICTION: Ministry of Dotball 35 - Rhode Island Aftershocks 7

Detroit Foreclosures (4-3) (62) at Helmand Provincial Pathan Pansies (3-4) (101)
MATCHUP: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/297/292

Detroit is doing everything in their power to stay close to Ministry so that they could try and take advantage of the wildcard spot as the only other team that shows promise of that spot is DeepRoute. Helmand and Detroit are evenly matched on offensive production but Detroit does have a stronger defense where Helmand does have issues giving up sacks. These 2 combinations will cause Helmand to struggle in this game and Detroit survives another week.

PREDICTION: Detroit Foreclosures 24 - Helmand Provincial Pathan Pansies 14

===***===***===***===***===***===***===***===***===***===***===

DeepRoute Allstars (4-3) (61) at Texas Toast (2-5) (202)
MATCHUP: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/358/291

DeepRoute need to win as they like Detroit are trailing Ministry for the wildcard spot from the looks of things half way this season. Texas had high hopes in competing but things just haven't clicked for them and some could be said its the offensive line not giving the QB time to pass with the high number of sacks they give up. DeepRoute's desire to stay in the wildcard race will shine through in this game.

PREDICTION: DeepRoute Allstars 21 - Texas Toast 10

===***===***===***===***===***===***===***===***===***===***===

Tampa Piranhas (6-1) (52) at South 'Cooley-High' Rangers (3-4) (124)
MATCHUP: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/298/294

Tampa has been on fire since their loss in week 1. They must have taken that loss of the league champions to heart. Tampa also has the strongest rushing attack against the leagues worst rushing defense. Game over, no more needed to be said.

PREDICTION: Tampa Piranhas 42 - Rhode Island Aftershocks 6

##################### GAME OF THE WEEK #####################

New York Gangsters (5-2) (75) at Alpine (7-0) (5)
MATCHUP: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/34/300

New York has their work cut out for them this week with going to Alpine. Currently the only team that has given Alpine a challenge has been Ministry where as Ministry dismantled New York in week 5. Alpine has the best offense in the league and the best defense so looking at the scouting bars all signs point to New York losing this game and realistically that probably will happen but I believe it will be closer than billed.

PREDICTION: Alpine 28 - New York Gangsters 17

Good game - that second quarter was a lot of rolls that went against you (goal line stand, missed chip shot FG, fumbled kickoff...) and really turned the game.

BTW, were you using the new man coverage logic? There were one or two places things looked a little odd to me.

Went 4-2 this week. Could have gone 5-1 but some HORRIBLE luck against Detroit in coming up a yard short on the final play!

Similar to what happened in Ministry's game. Seems if you just get on a bad roll, they keep coming!
