I'll post them here for this week, primarily because we have no stats that I can use to compare in matchups. As a result, I am going with gut feelings and hunches as well as roster evaluations to help me make my picks.

Portland Aftershocks vs. Atlanta Dirtybirds
In last year's matchup, Atlanta beat Portland 25-24 thanks to a 4th quarter field goal. The Aftershocks will look to win with their dominating rushing attack, featuring Pro Bowl running backs Speedy Burner and Byron Hammond. Atlanta, meanwhile, is hoping their passing game, with Pro Bowlers Remy Martin and Swift Justus, will put them on top.
Prediction: Atlanta 24, Portland 21

Minnesota Lumberjacks vs. Gotham City Punishers
Last year, Minnesota beat the Punishers 24-7 with help from a revitalized offense. The Punishers hope that their new and improved offense, with a new OC and new players, including a starting RT brought down from the USA Pro League, can help them make the leap to a top tier team. Minnesota, with three Pro Bowlers on offense in James King, Ardell Leadbetter, and Adam Schumacher, will look to impose their will on the Gotham City defense.
Prediction: Minnesota 21, Gotham City 20

Louisiana Ragin Cajuns vs. Riverside Revolution
In the game last year, Louisiana blew out the Revolution, winning 31-0 to help push them into the playoffs. The Revolution come back with a revitalized roster, infused with fresh level 16 players all belonging to the owner. The Cajuns feature a roster with 5 Pro Bowlers, including receivers Jerry Brown Rice and Mr. Go Get It, and cornerback Dweezil Jackson.
Prediction: Louisiana 24, Riverside 17

Fort Worth Red Raiders vs. Montana Carnage
Montana won the game last year, beating the Red Raiders 17-9. That was before Fort Worth infused their roster with talent from the Queen City Carp. The much improved Red Raiders look to ride their passing attack to victory, while Montana's Pro Bowl Cornerbacks Darrel Smith and David Della Rocco hope to put a stop to those plans.
Prediction: Fort Worth 28, Montana 20

Dallas Longhorns vs. Mid-Pac Warriors
In their game last year, Dallas could have named their score, as they trounced Mid-Pac 66-0. Mid-Pac will have their hands full with a strong Longhorn rushing offense, featuring Pro Bowlers up front in Astro Glide and Tommy Tree. The Warriors will have to rely on their defense to step up bigtime, as well as their offense to score points to stay in this game.
Prediction: Dallas 31, Mid-Pac 10

Seattle Fish n Chips vs. Houston Wave
Seattle got the better of Houston last year, winning their matchup 31-0. Their lineup of self-owned players features a strong passing attack, led by Pro Bowler Toni Romo. Houston will need their defense to step up bigtime, while their offense must come to life. Hopefully their special teams, with Pro Bowl Returner Iron Man 2 in 2010, can give their offense something to look forward to and keep this game close.
Prediction: Seattle 28, Houston 6

Memphis Blues vs. Coruscant Death Stars
These two teams have never met, as Memphis was relegated from A-league. The Blues are hoping to rally behind a strong offensive line, while the Death Stars will use their solid defense, featuring Pro Bowlers in Aayla Secura, Admiral Akbar, Will Campbell, Smokie McBudz, and Dan Gerringer to keep the Blues from posing a serious threat.
Prediction: Coruscant 24, Memphis 13

St. Paul Shockers vs. San Francisco Hawks
These two teams met in the season finale last season, with the Shockers pulling off a 27-7 upset. Look for the Hawks to use their strong pass defense to gain the advantage in this one, while St. Paul hopes their offense can come through much like they did to end the season with a surprise victory.
Prediction: St. Paul 14, San Francisco 10

Come on...it's not that much of a foregone conclusion that we're going to spank Miami. At least put up a prediction.

Hey Sully they were the Waterloo Bolts when I took them over and sent those players to the Red Raiders and if I didn't need the money i'd still have a few of them.

And we won't even go into the fact they then put us in the same league , thank goodness we didn't get the same conference too , that would have sucked big time.
