New York Warriors vs Richmond Retros

As the Retros are still winless, i think that the Warriors, who are coming off a surprising upset last week to the Rampage, will take this one with no questions asked.

Alcatraz Island Jailbreakers vs. Colonial Zoners

I try to pick as many upsets as i can every week. There really is not many reasons for the jailbreakers to lose, i just think that after looking at the rosters, there is no question as to who the better team is. i think the only way the zoners will lose this one is if they cannot break the barrior that low moral has set 4 them. Meaning if they have alot of tunrovers.

Miami Sharks vs. Boston Massacre

I gotta take my own team this week. We just lost to the nighthawks and are starting to question if our so called "come-back Defense" can really turn itself around from last season and play, what the Massacres players hope, as one of the beter in the league. The Sharks lost to Dallas, and the Massacre Beat Dallas. That is really the only advantage i see to the Massacre. this is going to be a surprisingly close match i think

Baltimore Knights vs. TCC's Wax-Bustin Warriors

This would have been game of the week if these team had winning records, because i think this was one of the harder games to choose. I can see both of these teams winning as both have glaring weaknesses that the other can easily exploit. I think that the few low level players on Baltimore will make or break the game for them. But as for now, i am going for TCC to win this 1.

Louisville Nighthawks vs. Syracuse Souls

As with the Warriors game, not a very hard decision. As the #2 ranked team goes up against the #10 ranked Syracuse Souls. the Nighthawks proved themselves last week against the Massacre's top ranked Offense in the league. After holding them to 1 yrd a carry on the ground, and the worst passing game since the Monkeys, i think the Nighthawks will do what they did to Boston and pummel the Souls sensless.

Hartford Musician vs. New York Hope

As much as i admire the Hartford for their valient effort to climb out of bottom of the league, i don't think it is going to happen this week. I think the Hopes Superior passing game will continue its rampage and burn the Musician's instruments to tiny piles of ash. But don't worry Hartford! you can always still clap and sing!

Cleveland Firebirds vs. Eleven Wise Monkeys

Not much to be said as an undefeated team goes up against a 2-4 team on a 3 game losing streak. I expect that streak to become 4 more so than i expect the sun will come up tomorrow.


GAME OF THE WEEK

Bristol Bullets vs. Dallas Rampage

As these two 4-2 teams go head to head in week 7, we will finnally see if the Bullets reall have what it takes to make it big this season. Since everyone is pretty much going to lose to the monkeys, Bristol really hasn't faced any tough teams that they have a chance to beat. If they lose this game i can see them dropping pretty far in many power rankings. But if they win i think you will see respect start to grow and Dallas's win against the Warriors won't mean much anymore. I think that Dallas has the upperhand however and will win this one handily.

Bullets win 20-6. Now maybe we can get a little respect.

Bristol got handed the game. Look at the average starting field position.

Starting position isn't a flip of the coin, it's a part of the game. So I guess what you're saying is that our Special Teams did a stellar job and gave us the opportunity to score 6 times, of course we only scored 4 times as our kicker missed to FG attempts.

Your special teams............ well i'll leave it there shall I??

Starting position is pretty much what defines the first quarter. Since no1 is tired enough to be subbed b4 that. Starters usaully play more unless you specifically have your Adv stamina set to something wierd. In this way, starters get more experience leveling up faster. Since starters define the firts quarter, and the first quarter can usually define the game, its kind of a no brainer that starters have a huge impact on the game. the only way a team can win with lower level or "worse" starters is if:

1. They have superior coaching and tactics settings
2. INCREDIBLE depth vs. a team with hardly any depth at all
3. the "weaker" team has strong points that exploit the "stronger" teams weaknesses (ie: an amazing QB vs a team with lvl 12 CBs. So even if the team with the amazing QB might stink, they might be able to rip you apart because of a single weakness.
4. and lastly, my personal faborite ---------> LUCK

So, bassically the team with the better starters is favored to win roughly 8-10 (estimation?)

I don't think Bristol outcoached Dallas, and i don't think they have much more depth. I can't find nay glaring weaknesses with Dallas's Defense or Offense. Sure, Bristol had a slight amount of luck, but most of their sucess was due to a superior matchup in starters. Even a slight mismatch, ex. level 15 C vs a level 18 NT, could make a huge difference in the game. I think that in a rematch Dallas would win, because the Bullets have not yet proven themselves to me. But as its only week 7, there is time.

As for this:

well, you finnally proved yourselves to me and then you just got shot down by a team predicted by many to, lets face it, SUCK. Obviously they proved they don't by beating you guys. I think you will still make the playoffs. but your going to have to fight for it more than expected.
