-The Danes let West Wales get much tooo close. If they play like this they won't be keeping their perfect record for long.
-Turin has not had a game decided by any more than 15 points. They normally pull out the wins against tough teams, and thats why they're so high. They rely more on gameplan than anything, as they don't have the best talent.
-Aberdeen is an interesting team. They beat Turin by a point, who beat Bonn by two points.. But Bonn beat em by 80+.
-Perkis needs some D. They score a good amount of points a game with a pretty good offense, but they let up 3x that amount.
-Lyon surprised with their shutout of Ice and Fire. It's hard to judge that one.. Should they get a lot of credit because they were a playoff team last year? Or none because they had a strong record advantage.
-Normandy survived a shootout with.. Madrid. You gotta be tougher than that if you wanna make the playoffs! Good game though.
-Stockholm took control of Zeta with a solid win over the Pimps.
-Berlin also helped their cause with a win over a good Antwerp team.
-Cardiff did better than I thought they would against Korb..

What To Watch Out For
The Zeta playoff hunt. Looks to be a lot more competitive than alpha at this point, with many more teams that look capable of a playoff spot with 13 or 14 compared to Alphas 10.

Zeta Predictions
By: Coreyls18
Overall: 19-13
Last Week: A PERFECT 8-0
Matchup: Stockholm Meatballs vs. London Hitmen
Prediction: Meatballs - The Hitmen looked sluggish last game vs the Knights and they need a turnaround, only thing is they have to go against Stockholm...wait til next week. Balls win.
Matchup: Inverness Highlanders vs. Cardiff Bluebirds
Prediction: Bluebirds - This was the toughest game for me to call...and im still on the fence about it...But im going to give the slight edge to Cardiff. Not really sure why or what to say but thats my pick and im sticking with it.
Matchup: Antwerp Annihilators vs. Korb Destroyers
Prediction: Destroyers - Antwerp/Rippers merge seems to not be panning out yet, guess thats what happens when you merge two losing squads together! BURN! haha, ive always had a crush on Korb and i pick them here to takes Antwerps losing skid to 3 games.
Matchup: Edinburgh Black Knights vs. Paris Musketeers
Prediction: Musketeers - Its hard for me to go against the Musketeers here. I like the way the Knights have been playing while only giving up 12 points combined the past two games. However i think Paris will double that and win a closer than you think game.
Matchup: A Team of Ice and Fire vs. Normandy Invasion
Prediction: Invasion - I keep wanting to pick ATOIAF, but i just cant do it. They def need to turn things around and will get a step closer in the right direction with this one, but it will be in a losing effort.
Matchup: Grass Root Divots vs. Berlin Ballers
Prediction: Ballers - After a 2-2 start, they have looked good in recent games including upsetting the Annihilators...They will run their streak to three with this one.
Matchup: Rivals Mainboard Pimps vs. Lyon Dynasty
Prediction: Pimps - The 7-8 matchup here. The bottom line here is that i dont think that the Dynasty offense can score more points. They must have a big game defensively if they plan on winning this one.
Matchup: Madrid Raging Bulls vs. Black Forest Mercenaries
Prediction: Mercenaries - This game is coming at a perfect time for the Mercs, this will help them continue to fine tune their offense and be a big threat down the stretch.
