Sorry I missed the last ones, gotta love DTDing.
Western Conference
St. John's Salty Dogs (5-0) vs. Montreal Rulers (3-2) ***West Game of the Week***
The Dogs beat Jeb's by 47 points which is an impressive win, and Montreal lost to Jeb's by 28 points. They both beat Providence, but the Dogs by a larger margin. St. John's doesn't seem to have been challenged yet, but if they plan as well as they did in the Jeb's matchup, they should fair well. Montreal played well against North Drift though, so could be pretty close. Low leveled as they are, St. John's tandem of Gilchrist, and Thruya with 25 combined TDs should continue their dominating pounding of the West. Watch for Montreal's Gesser to add to his totals, as long as he keeps it away from CB Mr. Kleen, he could add to his impressive 12:1 TD:INT ratio. Keep an eye on St. John's DEs Tom Gardner, and Brian "R.a.k." Orakpo who are 2nd and 4th in MVP voting and are 1st and 2nd in the LEAGUE in sacks with 13 and 12 respectively.
Jebediah's Oblong Ball Club (3-2) vs. Windsor Flying Walruses (2-3)
Jeb's has had a tough schedule so far, beating North Bay, Providence, and Montreal, and losing to Puvi (ai issues), and St. John's (undefeated). Windsor had 2 easy wins to start the season, and has lost 3 straight to Queensland, North Bay, and Providence. Windsor has lost to two teams that the Ball Club beat, that alone tells me this one's in Jeb's favor. Windsor's got some talented CBs on roster, but Jebediah's passing attack will be too much for them to stop, as the dominating duo of Dee Breezy and Mello Yello continues their push for MVP
Queensland Exiles (4-1) vs. Widow Makers (4-1)
Widow Makers pulled off an impressive week 3 upset of Nebraska in a 34 point victory. Their lone loss is to the East's perennial playoff Niagara Maulers in an 11 point loss. The former WL Exiles also are undefeated in the West to this point with close games against Montreal, and TB Wolverines, and their only loss to the highly ranked Hub City Hustlers. Each of Queensland's tough matchups have been close, and could have gone either way. Widow Makers have yet to win a close matchup. I'm choosing the more experienced team to win this one. Widow's line better be ready for the Queensland blitz, because if LB Sacka Sparks (11 sacks) gets in the backfield then Widow QB Shannon Lee might be in trouble.
Providence Radicals (2-3) vs. Thunder Bay Wolverines (3-2)
Thunder Bay's only wins are against some low rated teams, but played close in their losses to proven Queensland and North Bay. Providence has played 5 tough teams with losses to St. John's, Jebediah, and Montreal, and wins over the Wookies and Walruses. Radicals seem to fair well against the dubbya teams, and TB hasn't won a close one, so I think PR could pull out another win here. Providence is going to be careful with the ball, though, and keep it away from Wolverines LB Mr. Selatcia who has 8 forced fumbles, and 7 sacks.
Nebraska Maniac Gorillas (3-2)vs. Nunavut Matters (1-4)
Nebraska has beaten three teams with a combined 1-14 record, and has losses to teams who are combined 8-2. Nunavut has had close losses to St. John's, Cobden, and Widow, but their lone win was against the 0-5 Donkeys. Hmm.. that's interesting:
Nebraska 69, Donkeys 35
Nunavut 69, Donkeys 7
Nebraska's hurting right now, and needs this win, but using the Drunken Donkeys game as the standard, I'm choosing Nunavut led by FS Tee Aitchsee, but I expect Nebraska's I Throw Rocks at the Cops add to his yardage, and HB Van Buren to put up a few more TDs.
Claremont Cocks (2-3) vs. Houston Vikings (4-1)
To this point, Houston has beaten the three lowest ranked teams in the West, and Nebraska. Claremont lost to Winsor FW, Thunder BW, and Widow M. The builds clearly favor the Cocks: Houston has 54 players avg lvl 68 with a 973.87 value. Claremont has 52 players avg lvl 67 with a 1014.23 value. Should be a close game, since chemistry swings in Houston's favor, but this one goes to Claremont. Watch for Michael Diamond X to get another 100+ yard game here and be the first in the West to break 1,000 yards.
Kansas City Rams (0-5) vs. Prince Rupert Drunken Donkey (0-5)
This basement battle will probably have some implication on end of season demotions, which makes it super important even though both teams currently are winless. Both teams have lost to Houston, KC lost 146-23, and PRDD lost 96-7. Donkey's got 76 chem, lvl 65 avg, and 942.81 value. Rams have 100 chem, lvl 70 avg, and 1,019.71 value. Rams should be favore in terms of team, however their ENTIRE team is inacitve since as far back as July 31st. I don't think that will matter much, I'm not sure the 0-5 donkeys have taken the time to gameplan anyways, so that probably won't matter. Watch for leading MVP candidate TE Rum Jum to improve on his already impressive stats, he's 2nd in yards (747), and tied for 2nd in TDs (8).
North Bay Drift (2-3) vs. Windsor Wildcats (1-4)
North Bay's three losses were by 21, 17, and 13 points to some highly regarded clubs: Bloodweiser, Jebediah, and Montreal. Windsor's lone win was against the winless KC Rams by just 14 points. This one shouldn't be close. Keep an eye on North Bay's receivers Tony Hanz and Todd Monk to break some big plays like T.O. and Ocho Cinco, and CB Todd Lightning to further his dominance of Western Special Teams.
Eastern Conference
Village Dogs (5-0) vs. Hudson Bay Horrors (4-1) ***East Game of the Week***
These two teams have 3 common opponents: Hub City Huslers, Leaders Gaulois, and Doug Flutie. Village won all three 34-14, 122-14, and 60-7 Hudson lost to Hub, 30-67, and won the others 125-6, and 69-48. The Hub City and Flutie scores show me that Village has been prepared for every game this season, and Hudson may be a bit more inconsistent. The results against Hub lead me to believe Village will still be undefeated after tomorrow. Village's top ranked defense will have their hands full with perennial MVP candidate The Slick Pink Taint who has 32 rushes for 312 yards 5 TDs, and 34 receptions for 630 yards 5 TDs, but run stuffing DEs Leopard and Blake Nall will be on the hunt to add to their combined 9 forced fumbles. Hudson's WR Ulysses S Grant wants to add to his receiving totals, too, with 3 TDs in each of his last two games, and 13 total on the season, but Village's SS Gary Beaver has 3 INTs this season, and is the master of the deep zone.
Bloodweiser Bugle All Stars (5-0) vs. Sacramento Vikings (3-2)
Sacramento got crushed by Puvi, and shut out by Niagara in consecutive games before facing the CPUburgers. Bloodweiser's only losses were close games with three world league teams. Watch for Bloodweiser to continue their dominance of the ground game. They have the top 2 HBs Yitzhaki and Duelist... 6 of the top 16 guards in the conference: Witchslayer (3), Crozier (6), Hellslicer (8), Blogrot (10) , Steamroller (12), Man. (16)... and the #4 Center in Wardell Walker. If Sacramento's MVP candidate DE THUMPER DOUG can add to his 9 sacks in this game I'll be impressed.
Kashyyyk Wookies (3-2) vs. The Bastard Sons of Doug Flutie (1-4)
Kashyyyk's win over Cobden was impressive, but both teams have had tough losses. The Wookies lost to Providence by 11, and Hub City by 29. The Bastards lost to Wolverines by 28, Hub City by 72, Hudson by 21, and Village by 53. Since Wookies played Hub City pretty close, I'd say they're the favorites for this one, but Doug Flutie could turn some heads in a close game, especially HB Marion "The Barbarian" Barber III who already has 100 rushes this season.Kashyyk's QB Ty T. Spyrhal has thrown just 3 INTs this season, but he had better watch out for CB Hell O. Newman who's picked off 5 already.
Niagara Maulers (3-2) vs. Danzig Raytheon (1-4)
Niagara is coming off an ugly loss to Cobden, but proved their worth with a 20 point win over Prince Edward Island, and a shutout of Sacramento. Danzig's had a tough start to the season. They had to play the still undefeated Western leader St. John's, and has convincing losses to Village (-80), Kashyyk (-52), and Puvinituq (-67). Danzig's Serious Lee is #10 in conference, and hopes to garner more attention in this game as he hopes to improve on his 727 yards and 7 TDs, but Niagara's QB Quincy Gunn wants to add to his 14 passing TDs, too, and he's got WR Williard Rens anxious to add to his 23 receptions this season.
Puvirnituq Musketeers (5-0) vs. Leaders Gaulois (0-5)
Undefeated versus winless, this one shouldn't be close. Leaders lost to three other playoff candidates by more than 100 points, so I see no reason this one should be any different. Watch for Puvi's #2 ranked SS Redneck Nation to add to his 5 fumbles, and QB Big Bad Joe to add to his TD count.
Space Dockers (1-4) vs. Hub City Hustlers (4-1)
Space's lone win was a 21 point victory over Leaders, and the Hustlers' lone loss was a 20 pointer to Village. This one shouldn't be close. Watch for MVP candidate M]atthew [S]tafford to surpass Medecine Hat's Chris Leak this week, and become the first to 2,000 yards.
Medicine Hat Witch Doctors (1-4) vs. Prince Edward Island Mi'kmaqs (2-3)
Prince Island's only wins are in blowouts over the winless Rams and CPUburgers. Medicine's lone win is also against Paradise. The difference is Prince Edward has 2 close losses to Puvirnituq and Niagara, and MHWD hasn't been close in any of their games. Medicine Hat's QB Leak has the most yards in the league, but his 5 TDs and 14 INTs is gonna look even worse as Prince Edward's DEs Sorrow and Cheetah will have pressure on him all game long. They're also going to need a solid performance from HB Frank Wang to stay in this game, but keep an eye on PEIM's LB Stinson who has 6 forced fumbles so far, and the MVP candidate Bo Dasious who has 17 receptions for 602 yards, and 8 TDs!!!
Paradise Cheeseburgers (0-5) vs. Cobden Muskrats (3-2)
The CPUburgers aren't gonna steal the win this week, should be a 100 point vicotry for Muskrats, and their HB tandem Motion (conference #5) and Gus (conference #7) should continue their push for recognition.
