Week : 11. All is Hazy Ask Again Later.
Another early prediction, as I am not sure how much time I will have tomorrow.
The Top 7 remain the same. KKAR got a win against my prediction so they hold onto #5, and the GROWL also picked up a win to remain in #6. New Orleans moves up to #7, and Bratislava and WAR MACHINE move down 1 slot each to #8 and #9 respectively.
In the "Outside Looking In" Category of 10-16, I am going to keep the rankings the same. The Beasts put in a good effort against Richmond even with the loss, and I still think that Corpus Christi is ahead of Ontario. 8 Mile got a free pass last week, so they do not move up. The Blitz and Gains stay the same.
1. Honolulu Hurricane Wife Carriers
2. Austin Wineswilling Fancy Boys
3. New Jersey Battalion
4. Richmond Rebel Yell
5. Ketchikan Kamper Adventure Rentals
6. SOUTH GEORGIA GROWL
7. New Orleans Hoodoo Voodoo
8. Bratislava Lambeau Leapers
9. WAR MACHINE
10. Chicago Beasts
11. Corpus Christi Illegal Aliens
12. Ontario Ice Weasels
13. 8 Mile Assault
14. Chicago Blitz
15. Baton Rouge Buccaneers
16. Gaines Panthers
Now down to game predictions. I will order the games based on my rankings.
Game 1: Honolulu Hurricane Wife Carriers VS Chicago Beasts
The Beasts have been on a roll... a bad one. I don't see a turn around in this game. Honolulu is likely to win out from here.
Game prediction: 75 - 13 Honolulu.
Game 2: Austin Wineswilling Fancy Boys VS WAR MACHINE
The WAR MACHINE is a good team, but Austin is a GREAT team. The WAR MACHINE will get some clogs in its gears this week.
Game Prediction: 48 - 14 Austin Wineswilling Fancy Boys.
Game 3: New Jersey Battalion VS Ketchikan Kamper Adventure Rentals
KKAR pulled out an important win last week against Bratislava. That seems to place them in-between New Orleans and Bratislava, but there is a lot of GLB left to play. It may be that they are worthy of their #5 ranking, but they will have to prove it through a tough last half of the season. I don't think they will do it this week, as New Jersey is pretty entrenched in their #3 seed.
Game prediction: 28 - 17 New Jersey.
Game 4: Richmond Rebel Yell VS Chicago Blitz
Richmond has been playing up to, or down to, the level of the teams they have played for the most part. This week, even if they play down, they should get a nice sized win against the destined to be demoted Blitz.
Game prediction: 46 - 13 Richmond
Game 5: SOUTH GEORGIA GROWL VS Gaines Panthers
SOUTH GEORGIA collects another win to put them at 6-5, with 5 winnable games left on their schedule. Still they have to face KKAR and New Orleans, which should be tough games for them.
Game prediction: 255 - 0 SOUTH GEORGIA
Game 6: New Orleans Hoodoo Voodoo VS Baton Rouge Buccaneers
Baton Rouge has surprised a few teams by how tough they play for a 2-8 team. They will finish at least 3-13, to keep themselves from being demoted, but they could steal a couple on the way. New Orleans is the better team in my opinion, but they shouldn't take this game lightly, as the Buc's have some Bite. Still I think they will bet a win out of the game
Game prediction: 32 - 6 New Orleans
Game 7: Bratislava Lambeau Leapers VS Corpus Christi Illegal Aliens
With games against New Jersey, and Austin still left on their schedule, this is a Must Win game for Corpus Christi if they are to stay above .500 and have a shot at the playoffs. If they don't win this game, they would have to win out, and I don't see that happening. Unfortunately for them, I don't see them winning this game either.
Game prediction: 36 - 24 Bratislava
Game 8: 8 Mile Assault VS Ontario Ice Weasels
With 7 losses, and The GROWL, Richmond, and Honolulu, left on their schedule, Ontario is effectively out of the playoff race. 8 Mile on the other hand has an outside chance if they can pick up 4 or more wins out of their last 6 games, all of which will be tough. Both these team's bread and butter is the running game, but 8 Mile's looks to be the more explosive of the two. I think that will be enough to pull out the win.
Game prediction: 34 - 24 8 Mile.
As always, take this with a grain of salt. Salt makes everything taste better. Just about any meat tastes better with salt. This weeks lick of the salt is just such a meat. Steak. that's right Steak. If your a Veggi, put some on your Tofu if you don't believe me.
Little known fact: "Salt" is one of the 4 "Tastes" sweetness, bitterness, sourness and saltiness. There is a supposed 5th taste; Umami, which is still up for debate.
Thus ends today's salt lesson.
Hope this was fun for you!
