Hello Dot builders and welcome back for another week of rookie casual league play. Last week I went a perfect 6-0 bring my total predictions for the year to 11-1. This week features some great matchups. With out any further hesitation lets dive in.
**Match of the Week**
Richmond Insane Asylum (5-1) vs The CuddleMuffins (4-2)
Both these teams are coming off fairly low scoring wins. Perhaps both teams OC and DC for both teams were trying tactics changes in lieu of the upcoming match up. This game will probably come down to who can stop the run and force their opponent to throw the ball.Both these teams are looking for their first win against a human run team. My guess is the team that scores 28 points or more in this contest will win. The edge goes to RIA for how well they played against Durutti Column. RIA 28-21 CM
Durutti Column (6-0) vs Believe the Hype (3-3)
DC scored 70 points last week in a 70-28 beat down of the Casino Dogs. DC dominated the line of scrimmage and only attempted 11 passes all game in route to almost 700 yards of offense. BTH is on a two game win streak and the defense has been playing nasty notching 9 sacks last game alone. For BTH to have any shot in this one the D will have to step up big again against one of the best offenses in the league. DC is just to powerful in this one and wins but BTH keeps it closer than most expect. DC 35-17 BTH
Army Ants (0-6) vs Notre Dame Fighting Irish (6-0)
In the last three contest AA gave up 66.3 points on defense on average per contest. The offense is awful and the defense has mailed it in. Enter NDFI The #1 team in the Alpha Conference, and a well oiled machine on both offense and defense. NDFI's Kieran Aguirre currently sits atop the MVP race for the Alpha Conference. He won't lose any ground this week score multiple TD's and rushing for a 100 plus yards. NDFI 70-0 AA
Texas Rattlesnakes (2-4) vs Casino Dogs (1-5)
These two team will be battling in each of their respective conferences to make the playoffs and secure the 4th seed. Both teams are on extended losing streaks, 3 games for TR and 5 games for CD. CD put up a respectable 28 points against one of only two undefeated teams left in the league last week, but the TR has better play makers. Look for Kolton Creech (QB), and Randy Clifford (WR) to lead TR to a narrow victory over an inspired CD team. TR 21-14 CD
American 5150 Badboys (2-4) vs Toledo Tsunami (0-6)
This battle is almost a coin flip. Both these teams played well last week. ABB lost 14-7 to CuddleMuffins, while TT lost 21-7 to the (5-1) Richmond Insane Asylum. Both offenses moved the ball, and the defenses were solid. To me the difference in this game will come down to field position and converting on 3rd downs. I'm looking for TT to win their first game in a close contest. TT 21-10 ABB
Wu-Tang Killa Bees (2-4) vs Indiana Thunderstorm (5-1)
WTKB did manage to score 24 points against one of two undefeated teams last week. The real problem is that WTKB also allowed over 500 yards rushing in their match last week an avg of over 20yds a carry. Enter IT the #1 team in the league rushing the ball. This is a recipe for disaster. Look for IT to Dominate from start to finish. IT 49-0 WTKB
