Two weeks are now into the books and I'm 27-5 (84.3%) predicting games. Let's hope I can keep up my hot hand.
GAME OF THE WEEK
Smashing Skulls vs Grodno Titans
This is a battle of teams on the rise. The Skulls were in the GotW in Week 2 and they didn't disappoint, with an overtime thriller and almost came away with an upset W. Grodno, after being smacked around in the preseason and barely losing to the Crows to start off the season, came away with a big W in week 2. While Grodno is a team really on the rise and a team that I like a lot, I think the Skulls are just a bit stronger at this point, so they will get the nod.
Skulls
Sevastopol Wolverines vs Monty Pythons
What's this?!?! Surely there can't be two GotW, could there? Well this week, there definitely is. Week 3 puts two powerhouses in Zeta up against each other, and this one is a cannot miss as it will be a defensive showdown. The Wolverines come in riding high with their two game winning streak, in which they had a thriller win in week 1 and completely dominated a quality team in week 2. The Pythons come in with just as good, if not better two game winning streak resume as they won a nail biter week 1 and doing whatever they pleased against another strong team in week 2. This one will be a low scoring thriller and I'm almost too torn to pick a winner in this one.
