Week 2 Predictions
Usual disclaimer: this is my opinion only. If you don’t like it, I still love you.
Welcome to cheesy power ballad week. Break out the puffs.
Naga
Game Of The Week
Sainte Foy Cyclones (1-0) v Hong Kong Hustlers (1-0)
Time to jockey for position early on in Naga in what will be a long and grueling season. You know both teams would like a Home Sweet Home http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBiETZFOrFc game but it’s going to be a tough hill to climb and the loser is already in a tough position for the top 4 given the competition. Both teams looks good week 1 as HKH dominated and SFC picked up a close but quality win. I see that HKH outside running game as hard to stop for SFC. HKH 38, SFC 28
Other Games
The Outlaw Hustlers (1-0) v Dayton Raiders (0-1)
TOH picked up a win right out of the gates while Dayton has yet to score a point thus far. But Wait http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrPJgnOXjy8 that doesn’t tell the whole story considering the opponents played, so this should actually be a pretty good game. That said, I do think TOH has a little more to offer on the field this season. TOH 24, Dayton 10
Semarang Red Bulls (1-0) v Victoria Teabaggers (1-0)
This could easily have been GoTW as well, but we had Semarang there last week. VT took a bit of a step forward last season and they look to have taken another step this season. Still, I’m not sure that’s High Enough http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_uh8XjgLTE&ob=av2el for the likes of a Semarang team that quite frankly looks WL quality to me. Semarang 49, VT 20
Krungthep Garudas (1-0) v Portland Dirty Penguins (0-1)
Despite the likely outcome, this is still a pretty special game in that it’s the oldest current rivalry in SEA. PDP hasn’t been on the winning end in quite some time, but with the number of common agents it’s always fun. I’m afraid PDP will be Two Steps Behind http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv829hUuYAM in this game as well. Krungthep 52, PDP 24
Woody Island Wolverines (1-0) v Dayton Blackhawks (0-1)
The “other” Dayton is also scoreless thus far this season and it doesn’t get any easier this week with a nasty WW team on tap. This could be a House of Pain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1ntsBXdK88&ob=av2el once again for Dayton but their young dots will come around later in the season. WW 52, Dayton 0
Palembang Drunken Monks (1-0) v Tibet Drunk Monks (0-1)
Ah, the battle of inebriated clergy. I’m guessing they’ll be drinking for different reasons by the time this one is done, but hey, Every Rose Has Its Thorn http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2r2nDhTzO4&ob=av3nl and so it goes. A bit of a mismatch here. PDM 65, Tibet 7
Orlando Praying Mantis (1-0) v Benton Harbor Havoc (0-1)
OPM got off to a nice start for the season while Benton ran into a nasty OOC game. OPM certainly outlevels BHH and you know they’d think it would be Heaven http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrSdXtFJG20&ob=av2el to be 2-0. I don’t think it will be easy but they should be able to get it done. OPM 31, BHH 24
Golden Hill Bones (0-1) v Royal Blue Drunken Smurfs of Funkalicious Labbat (0-1)
It’s definitely a rebuilding season for the Smurfs they as they try to let those young dots percolate to perfection, while GHB is thinking of a possible playoff run. This should help GHB’s cause as most of the Smurf dots are too young for primtime, including those Sweet Child ‘O Mine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w7OgIMMRc4&ob=av3nl GHB 45, Smurfs 17
lolgaruda
Game of the Week
Buffalo Rampage (1-0) v Phu Khao Bow Chicka Brown Cows (0-1)
Nice opening schedule for the Cows with PDM then Buffalo. At least they get toughened up early in the season. Buffalo looked great in their first game despite not typically being known as a regular season team, but I Remember Youhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivFYVAntpw0 making me look bad every time I pick against you. Buffalo 35, Cows 34
Other Games
New York Empire (1-0) v Wu Dang Kung Fu Academy (0-1)
Much like the Cows, Wu has a very tough opening schedule with Semarang last week and now a very good NYE team. If Wu gets blown out again it could mean they are still a season away from really competing. They obviously don’t want that to happen so they Don’t Stop Believin’ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NQIPVqLMUg&ob=av3nm NYE 34, Wu 27
Krakow Kryptonite (1-0) v Mandanum CPU (0-1)
Krakow was a bit on the young side last season and now they’d like to fight for a home game if they can. Playing a CPU team sure helps in that quest. Don’t Cry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRIbf6JqkNc&ob=av2el just because you suck CPU guys. Krakow 220, CPU 0
Halifax Harpoons (1-0) v Praha Velvet Revolution (0-1)
This game is interesting from the standpoint of starting to find out if either team might be involved in the lower tier of the lolgaruda playoff race. Neither looked particularly good week 1 but there’s Always http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BMwcO6_hyA the chance the improve throughout the season. Praha 34, Halifax 31
Buffalo Knights (1-0) v Tanzania Lumberjacks (1-0)
I always say this, but you never know what to make of the Knights. They looked impressive game 1 against GHB while Tanzania took care of business against a younger Smurf team. It’s More Than a Feeling http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSR6ZzjDZ94 that I think the Knights are just a strong team though. Buffalo 28, Tanzania 14
Mandalay King Cobras (1-0) v Boston Bears (0-1)
These teams are both looking like potential second tier playoff teams in lolgaruda. Mandalay was very impressive week 1 in taking out SEAPL stalwart PDP and Boston fought SFC very tough. This could potentially be one of the best games of the week and I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vo_0UXRY_rY Boston 33, Mandalay 30
Chaotic Crew (0-1) v Awendaw Toadfish (0-1)
Ok, so both teams looked pretty bad week 1 but here’s the chance for one of them to dust themselves off and get back up. The other one is going to still be at the Cemetery Gates http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVMvART9kb8&ob=av3el CC 27, AT 10
Atlantic Great Whites (0-1) v Island of Misfit Toys (0-1)
Ya, see my comments above about looking bad week 1 and dusting yourself off on week 2 and apply here. It’s Blackhole Sun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mbBbFH9fAg time for someone. AGW 24, IMT 10
