Here we go again guys.

1. Monmouth Evil Monkeys V Over the Rhine Red Dots. Monmouth starts out the Bounce back season playing one of USA PRO's new squads. The Dots get the first real shot of Stopping the Drago/Csonka combo attack. Monmouth wins 42-21

2. Minnesota Marauders V Carolina Hammer. Galks team starts off with another of the Pro Newbies. The Marauders new DE's will test out the Hammers O-line in a big way. Minnesota wins 48-17

3. Honolulu Hurricane Warriors V Chocolate City Cha Chings. Damn the New squads in the East get a screwing in the schedule, 3 of the 4 first year squads get stuck playing my top 3 in the West. A lot less WANG in the Cannes starting lineup this year, most notably at HB. Honolulu wins 51-20

4. Lincoln Navigators V ***Official FootballGuys***. The Navs are coming off a very solid first season in the Show and look improved. OFG will get the first shot at stopping Andrew Vick as Lincoln's Starting QB. Lincoln wins 37-35

5. Las Vegas Freebirds V Kentucky Mudcats The Freebirds brought in a solid recruiting class to try to help them rebound from a miserable end of season 7 collapse. 3 New starters on D should help them get on track. Vegas wins 255-0

6. Bourbon Street Bullies V Las Vegas Gamblers BSB had their usual quite offseason and but will be dangerous as ever coming into season 8. The Bullies are a challenge to anyone the face and are always right in the playoff picture. BSB wins 28-24

7. Washington Wolfpack V Las Vegas Flyin Elvis. The Wolfpack is my pick to be the best of the new squads in the East. Painmaker has built a solid squad and they will be dangerous every time out. Washington wins 32-24

8. Spicewood Longhorns V Columbus Woodys. The Longhorns start out with a Rematch of last years play off game. 18 new players on the roster has knocked the Horns Chem below 80 and that might cause some problems early on. Woodys win 31-28

9. Parma Burglars V Green bay Maulers. Parma is trying to bounce back from a disappointing first season in the PROs. With RUN HARD, Havoc and Nautilus running the show they are always a tough game, but drawing the Maulers in the opener isn't a good thing for them. GB wins 45-30

10. South Bay Spartans V Kalamazoo Coyotes. LARRY SMITH. K-Zoo Wins 31-28

11. Compton Vikings V Philadelphia Continentals. We know the Vikings are annoying and their avatars SUCK. Let's see how they do on the field. Vikings win 34-21

12. Columbus Bucks V Washington Bullets. Bucks brought in some decent talent to an already talented team. If they can put together a few things they might be dangerous. To bad they start with the defending LEAGUE champs. Bullets win 38-17

13. Richmond Rebel Yell V Cincinnati Shockers. The Turd coast offense is back. Whatever. Shockers win 48-17

14. San Diego Lightning V Detroit Demon Lions Jaxx and his diversified roster have made it to USA PRO. To bad for them they get jammed in the toughest conference in GLB and have to start playing when of the most talented teams from the other side of the league. DDL wins 48-14

15. Chicago Hedgehogs V Rhode Island Red Wolves Hedgehogs backed into to USA PRO and I think it's going to be a VERY rough year for them. They start off against a very improved Red Wolves squad. RIRW wins 28-24

16. Dallas Vaqueros V Gridiron Rage. Dallas is still up here-Thanks to the gut jobs-and it doesn't look like they got much better. They have a winnable opener though. Dallas wins 44-38

Finally, over the past couple days this forum's been a Compton wasteland.

Thanks for posting something interesting coach. Fair placement of us at the 7 seed. There are a ton of great teams in the West, we'll need to prove ourselves better as the season progresses to deserve better!

Cool projections again nice to have things to talk about, even if this season goes badly at least I no longer have to ask for scrimmages with well built and coached teams I get them all season long now. plus coach v you finally get a chance to try and beat the Lightning which I am sure after this season we will no longer be undefeated against you.

Hedgehogs beat the best team in the league during the regular season .. only to loose to the eventual champion in overtime ...


i guess you could say we backed in if thats how you look at it ...

Had the Hedgehogs beat Spicewood .... they would have won the league


I guess you are leaving them alot of room to move up .

yeah, and you got beat by a team that didn't back-in/promote up last season too (NY-CA)

Just prove yourself up here. People need to stop whining. The only thing more difficult then doing a top 16 list is doing one at the start of the season.

Sorry then - just construed it as such.

Every season, heck most weeks, there is some people griping about their place in power charts. I remember the shit storm last season when Hazy tried to do his in the East.

Great write up CV, thanks for the analysis. Expect the Lightning to shock a lot of teams.

*gag*

Seriously though... SDL by 3 against a top notch squad to open the season.

First of all, thanks CV for taking the time to do this, a good read and I hope this will continue.

Second, to Mr. Sickels - getting your panties in a twist over preseason rankings is a cliche. Let them rank you 15th - if you really are better than that, they'll be eating their words in no time.

Third, to all the people that constantly play the 'well if we would have made the championship game we would have won' game: you didn't. There is no basis for saying by making the championship game you would have automatically won. There are no guarantees in dot football.
