Warrior General Games

So no-one's been doing these so far this season, so here we go:

GOTW1
The Evil Empire @ Lyon Winemakers
Two undefeated teams, though I think Lyon have had the tougher schedule and as such have shown most potential. This is the first real test for the Empire since winning the AAA #2 league last season, and I think their inexperience will show through here. This will be a doozy to watch though!
Prediction: Lyon by 7.
Actual: Empire by 3 in OT - looks like I picked the wrong game for OT, but a fantastic win for the Empire, stamping their intentions on this league.

GOTW2
Belfast Commandos @ Bath Killer Bees
A former WL team and the undefeated team last season both sitting at 1-1!?! The Bees haven't shown the invincibility of last season and this could be the best time to play them with the chemistry hit. If Belfast can get their misfiring offense working, they'll pick up the win.
Prediction: Belfast by 3 (possibly in OT).
Actual: Bath by 4 - despite 2 INTs, Bath made things work in the air then their defense really came good in the last 2 mins. Belfast are finding things tough on their return.

Amsterdam Affliction @ Warsaw Wolves
A slight surprise that Warsaw lost to the Parrots, whilst Amsterdam have looked very strong opening the season. They'll stay undefeated, whilst the Wolves will continue their shaky form from the end of last season.
Prediction: Amsterdam by 14.
Actual: Amsterdam by 2 - Warsaw just left it too late to complete a big comeback after a scoreless 1st half. Big performance by Jason T Witten today.

Rome Titans @ Hamburg Parrots
No offense to the Titans, but they appear to be one of the weaker teams in this conference and I don't expect the Parrots to have too many problems here. Hopefully Rome will come out of this start far stronger, but this is a tough baptism to the Pro League.
Prediction: Hamburg by 24
Actual: Hamburh by 34 - great game in the air for the Parrots, but they need to make sure they don't go back to their cage too early...crazy last quarter!

Bjelasnica Red Star @ Parts Unknown
Parts are another team who look like they may struggle this season, especially after the first couple of games (lets hope they don't repeat the win against LTS this time round!). Red Star seem to be settling into the Pro League well, and should pick up another win here.
Prediction: Bjelasnica by 21
Actual: Bjelasnica by 93 - dominant and faultless by Red Star...they will be a difficult team to beat this season.

Dresden Dragons @ Plainview Bulldogs
Plainview struggled last season, and don't look like they are improved enough to do much better this time round. Dresden have had a mixed start to the season but should pick up a pretty easy win here to get them to 2-1.
Prediction: Dresden by 45
Actual: Dresden by 61 - they had to wait until the 4th quarter to pile the points on, but a comfortable win in the end.

Team Perkis @ Stockholm Meatballs
It's 10 seasons for the Meatballs in the WE Pro League, and for that alone I want them to have this win! However Perkis will be a difficult team to beat having dropped down from the WL this season, and I don't see Stockholm having the firepower to make the upset here.
Prediction: Perkis by 35.
Actual: Perkis by 55 - another dominant display...Stockholm just couldn't get anything going and were overwhelmed in the trenches.

D-Town Bushwalkers @ La Tourette Syndrome
We'll be trying to keep our 100% record going against a strong Bushwalkers team.
Actual: LTS by 41 - despite our turnovers, the constant pressure on your offense was the telling difference today.

OVERALL PREDICTION RECORD: 5-2

THANKS robin boy

paging randy4ever...................pretty please.

I have to say I think you are wrong on the points for the Warsaw/Amsterdam game. Thanks for the review though.

By Edit:
to explain cause that looks bad.

This will be won by less then 2 TDs whoever wins.

No need for the explanation...always good to get another opinion - makes me think you've got a surprise planned for Amsterdam now

At this stage of the season it's pretty difficult to predict the scores...really I put them there to show the games I think will be close against those (sorry Plainview) that might not be!

You would do the world a great service by defeating the cursed Affliction

QFT

OP edited with post-game analysis.

lol I wanted to say less then 1 TD, but I don't trust the sim that much.

Last season was 4 points, this one 2. These teams just match up well against each other.
