I find it funny that the ladder matches fall on my birthday. Same thing as last time firist ill do the top ten and then break down 10-15 in the second post. some interesting matches this week and also added overall ranks so we can see how close each team is to each other.

#1(27) Hawaii Bulls vs #20(pro) Pauline Goat Ranchers
Hawaii has some space between it and number 2 Salty but they kinda got screwed here as Pauline is a good team that just struggled out the gate. I dont expect this to be a blowout but it will be a difficult game for Hawaii

24-20 Pauline

#2(31) The Salty Runback vs #33(pro) San Jose Dragons

Salty got screwed for the second straight week as San Jose has just come off an upset of Dakota who beat salty last ladder. Will salty be able to overcome a defense that held dakota to its lowest point total all season?

28-10 San Jose

#3(36) Yorickshire Vase Breakers vs #53(pro) Dallas Djinn

Vase Breakers have really surprised me so far with that win over Alpine and this week they get rewarded with a team that is all offense and no defense if the games vs dakota last 2 seasons have shown, I expect them to win this one pretty handily.

31-20 Vase Breakers

#4(41) Atlantic City Hookers vs #21(pro) Rocky Mountain Reapers

Atlantic won its first test against the pros and get a much stiffer test this week vs a badly slumping Reapers team. With that said I dont believe they will stay slumping for long and maybe a bit too much for the hookers to handle as they catch a bad break vs a team trying to get back on track.

28-24 Reapers

#5(43) Air Raid vs #28(pro) Helmand Provincial Pathan Pansies

Pretty sure this one is a gimmie for Air Raid as this pro team has been blown up on defense and a bad defense is not good for the passing attack of Air Raid who put up 38 vs the last pro team

42-28 Air Raid

#6(44) Harrisonburg Bulldogs vs #52(pro) Killer Konvicts

This pro team got massacred by the team Air Raid beat and I expect a revived Tiddy to get after these guys and win this one pretty easy

35-21 Bulldogs

#7(46) Glasgow Rangers vs 46(pro) Bloodless Brotherhood
I know glasgow got a bad break by dropping 3 spots after a loss to a good pro team but giving them a freebie in a cpu team is not cool. I expect this to be ugly for the cpu

38-14 Glasgow

#8(51) Lost Lounge vs #9(54) Cobra Kai

Cobra Kai upgraded after the brutal loss to Harrisonburg with a very good S* WR in Keenan Allen who Andes would of taken in a heartbeat if we knew he was available and they face a lost lounge team who looks well lost losing all 3 of their games and I expect this to be number 4 till they get the offense fixed

30-20 Cobra Kai

#10(55) Andes Chinchillas vs #12(63) Berkeley Bowlers

Bowlers are a mess and Andes is on the rise behind a reloaded Linebacker and receiving core. The owner of the Bowlers is even inactive and most of the people have abandon ship. I expect this to be another big loss for the Bowlers and Thunderoo if you wanna jump ship Andes will gladly take one of your WRs

38-17 Andes

#11(62) Louisiana Screaming Pelicans vs #22(81) Beastown Beasts
Im gunna flat out say it Pelicans are gunna win this as I have not settled on a playbook for the Beasts yet that I'm happy with. Beast are a sleeper team this year though as they have some really good looking builds and once I find them a playbook im happy with I expect this to be much closer.

EDIT: Owner for team has been offline for 4 days so yea im resigning so this will be a blowout for the pelicans
30-7 Pelicans

#13(64)Los Cabos Sharks vs #48(pro) Hillfield Dinos

Pelicans beat them last week and if Cabos wants to move up this is a game they have to win too. I expect it to be a closer game but I think a solid sharks team can handle it

28-20 Sharks

#14(68) DADDY vs #71(Pro) OffTopica Faith

Daddy came off a good win vs Faber and have really impressed me since I asked them to prove themselves (eating my own words you could say) I expect Daddy to win again and get a little closer to getting out of 14.

30-20 DADDY

#15(69) Sacramento Hornets vs #50(pro)Sacramento B-Squad

Battle for Sacramento! I kinda feel bad for the hornets as they got an underrated pro team who I dont think they will beat after that close loss to Cabos. Sorry guys but Sacramento belongs to the B-Squad

30-20 B Squad

Good read

Silly thing with the bowlers is we can still score because teams don't gameplan after seeing so many CPUs but there's pretty much a fully strength offense on the field every snap with multiple superstars!

Damn that last drive was ridiculous for the Faith. Not that it meant anything for the game as I had it in hand but dude makes a catch in triple coverage ffs.

the game we have with the Djinn based on our scrimmages with them is a toss up.

I'm noticing a lot of tendencies in the journeyman vs. pro games that I think a heads up pro coaching staff can really take advantage of. I'd be surprised if things don't start to tilt more towards the pro teams as we go forward.

some of the pro teams will destroy the Vase Breakers just because they are built perfectly to exploit the inherent imbalances - but as long as we avoid them we have a fighting chance and it's a no lose situation for us since we aren't really 'supposed' to win.

I am disturbed that USC_Trojans picked up this week - that hasn't happened before and we've been on a bit of a roll ...

As I said until the SP gap from flynn being inactive becomes much larger the Bowlers will score points! We put up 28 on the hookers too; wonder how the team would be going if I'd kept Calum there!
