I'm not going to be around a computer for all of Monday, so i'm getting the predictions out early.
Brisbane Troyfins at Redcliffe Sharks
Redcliffe have a brutal early schedule and their morale may not survive into their easier second half of the season. Troyfins have to play balanced and patiently and they should win easily.

Dharma Initiative at ASRW
Dharma needs to gameplan carefully and play to their strengths against an ASRW team that showed a little weakness in the first half of their first game. ASRW i'm sure has already addressed the problem and plugged the leak. I have a feeling Dharma is going to play hard but the Wallabies are good across the board and hold off any attacks the initiative initiate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H26eRojA09Q

Tasmanian Swarm at Hamilton Falcons------Upset Special
The Swarm are coming off two games of easy pickings and come into Hamilton with the full intention of ruining yet another picnic. The Falcons come home, road weary from a tough game against Dharma. Do they have the juice left to soar above the swarm?
I think because the Swarm don't have a "Star" player, when they get behind they don't have someone they can depend on to pull them out of a hole
Falcons chew up the Swarm by 7
Lexington Armada at Budapest Brawlers
Brawlers put up a fight and slap the Armada around. Armada are sunk from here on out as the rest of Zeta get a chance to spank them into relegation.

Rockhampton Raiders at El Rancherito Mantas
Raiders get a much needed rest after taking on superior talent the first two games. All they have to do is play controlled and limit the Mantas opportunities and this game can easily go their way. It's going to be a long season for the Mantas, they need to circle the game with the Brawlers as their only hope to avoid relegation.

Fiji Flying Foxes at Guadalcanal Gunners
Fox hunting is now in session but Foxes are tricky bastards to pin down. The Gunners plan on using every trick in the book to bag that musky rodent. Foxes need to play to their strengths and not let the Gunners dictate the pace or they'll find themselves wounded, trapped and out of time
Gunners by 13
Perth Pirates at Devonport Devils
The late season surge by the Pirates hasn't translated over to this season yet. Having your first 3 games be against last season's playoff teams haven't helped. Devils just need to play calmly and consistently. The Pirates need outstanding play from both sides of the ball to have a chance.
No booty for these pirates as the Devils win by 16

Warning Joke Recycling Ahead------------------------------
WSP at Newcastle Mountain Lions
WSP needs this game in the worst way. They have 2 tough games coming and they need to enter the stretch on a high note. The lions don't look like much on paper but they play tough every single snap (especially on D). Lions should be able to exploit some holes in the Cat's defense. In the battle of cats, there can only be one!
