Ministry of Dotball (2-1) (26) at DeepRoute Allstars (2-1) (28)
MATCHUP: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/291/295
Ministry has held the Allstars in check in previous meetings in Season 1 and Season 2. The Allstars are looking for any advantage they can get as it will come down to a VERY tight wildcard race again this season so they need wins to steal the division from Tampa. Those kinds of wins need to come from games like these. Ministry is coming off their largest win in franchise history in taking down Alpine. Only 2 other teams have done that in Osprey and one is the 2 time league champion and other is ranked in the top 25. This game will be decided late, but Ministry should hold tight and win their third strait over DeepRoute.
PREDICTION: Ministry of Dotball 31 - DeepRoute Allstars 24

Rhode Island Aftershocks (0-3) (134) at Helmand Provincial Pathan Pansies (1-2) (74)
MATCHUP: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/292/357
Though much improved Rhode Island is not faring well in league play. They are undefeated in ladder play but just can't get the same success translated into league games. Helmand is struggling again this season with their only win coming off the struggling Sacramento B-Squad. After the 0-3 start to the season Helmand has gone 3-0. They will ride the lucky streak and continue Rhode Island's woes of league losses.
PREDICTION: Helmand Provincial Pathan Pansies 17 - Rhode Island Aftershocks 10

New York Gangsters (1-2) (40) at Sacramento B-Squad (0-3) (104)
MATCHUP: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/293/300
The Gangsters are a surprise team of mediocrity this season. Sitting at 1-2 they are far from out of it but games like this will help build any confidence they need down the stretch. Sacramento is still trying to find their identity and currently it's not looking like there is an end in sight. New York should walk away with ease.
PREDICTION: New York Gangsters 28 - Sacramento B-Squad 7

Detroit Foreclosures (2-1) (22) at Kansas City Beached Whales (3-0) (64)
MATCHUP: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/354/297
Detroit had a cakewalk last week which allowed them to look ahead to Kansas City, which has been the surprise newcomer into the league. They were not given the credit due in initial assessment but have been proving everyone wrong since. Detroit will need to grind this game out but have been proven to be battle tested and that experience will push them through to a win, barley, but still a win.
PREDICTION: Detroit Foreclosures 21 - Kansas City Beached Whales 20

Alpine (2-1) (7) at Tampa Piranhas (3-0) (9)
MATCHUP: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/294/34
This is a rematch of the championship game where almost everyone wrote off Tampa as the runners up, but in dramatic fashion they stole the game away from Alpine to secure their second straight League Championship trophy! Alpine just stumbled against Ministry and this could trigger a chain reaction that could be deadly. The way Ministry won will resonate with Alpine and force themselves to look at a few things. Nothing is more dangerous than a prized fighter against the ropes. Tampa is the perfect team to take on this rebound. Their defensive game is one of the best in the game and they could contain Alpine giving themselves the opportunities to capitalize on mistakes and lost chances of Alpine. Tampa though has struggled as well despite the wins. They are just not dominating, but getting the job done. I think Tampa will pull this one out again but due to a fluke game.
PREDICTION: Tampa Piranhas 27 - Alpine 24
