River Styx Jinx 4-4 @ Gold Coast Corsairs 8-0
The Jinx have become a questionable team of late as they've decided to try to pass the ball on recent teams and had no success. The Saints really manhandled them last week. Earlier in the season they were dominating on the ground and that's what got them out to a great start. I think they're trying to do more with their passing game than they need to. Of course, it may not matter coming into the GC as they've stood up to all comers so far. This is a game where I the Jinx don't match up well and though they've surprised me before, I don't see that happening here.
Corsairs 34 Jinx 17
Mogadishu Malice 5-3 @ Los Angeles Extreme 7-1
All the respect in the world for the Malice. They've beaten the teams they need to beat, but they've already played the conferences bottom 6 teams and things get much tougher from here on out. Expect them to fall quickly starting with an Extreme trouncing here.

Congo Death 3-5 @ Russian Tractor 6-2
Though the Tractor are looking forward to next week's big showdown as they try to knock off the undefeated Corsairs, they can't overlook the Death who have awoken and will be making a late season run at the final playoff spot. They held their own against the Corsairs and have been finding a way to score points on anyone. The Tractor will be ready to play however and handle this game.

GOTW*Eaton Beavers 6-2 @ San Dimas Saints 6-2
Truly a battle for playoff seeding. The loser can probably forget about a home playoff game whereas the winner has the inside track at one. Last season the Beavers held off a late charge by the Saints to win 16-9. Both teams have improved and especially have both balanced their offenses much more. This will be a fun one and a close one and I can't wait to see the result. Good luck Saints!
Morocco Camels 5-3 @ Chicago Wheelhouse 1-7
Really Morocco? Losing to a winless Drifters team was hard to fathom, but it happened. The Wheelhouse have only 1 win over that Drifters team. So Wheelhouse>Drifters>Camels? Anyways, don't sleep on this game as I've said before this conference is sooooo deep you can't.

African Killer Bees 5-3 @ High Plains Drifters 1-7
The Bees have hit their stride and I expect them to finish the season strong. The Drifters pulled off a huge upset last week and look to build on it. This will probably be a more typical Drifters game where they keep it close and ultimately lose.

Somalia Wildcats 2-6 @ Mozambique Thundercats 4-4
Who is the strongest Cat in the Conferfence? Well, both of these teams were pre-season top 6 and both have disappointed at least a little. This is Somalia's last chance to make a run if they still hope to make the playoffs. If not, they get ready for next season. The Thundercats have a good chance at making a late season run and ending at least 9-7 and possibly 10-6. They need this one here.
Thundercats 31 Wildcats 27
Lake M'Zumba Cannibals 0-8 @ New Jersey Blazes 1-7
Loser finds themselves in relegation land. Winner has a chance to survive. The Blazes are the better team but I'm taking the underdog.
