Week 10 Preview

Hamburglers (3-4-2) @ Ramjets (3-4-2)

You'd think we were running a soccer league with the number of ties we have in this game. Neither team is playing well right now but both have flashed some success earlier in the season and the winner would be .500 and no worse then alone in second in the division 1/2 game behind CAPO or possibly alone in first 1/2 game ahead of CAPO.

4-game trends give Hamburglers a 61% chance to win

Yahoo predicts Hamburglers 23 - Ramjets 4 (minus a QB to be named later?)

Flannel (2-7) @ CAPO (4-4-1)

While Flannel can not be mathematically eliminated from the playoffs after this week, CAPO has a chance to realistically deliver the coup d' grace. A loss this week would guarantee Flannel a losing record, however a win would allow them to crawl a little back into the Right Division race. The next two weeks are Right Division games so the division title race could either be a lot clearer or a lot muddier by week 12.

4-game trends give CAPO a 85% chance to win

Yahoo predicts Flannel 26 - CAPO 16

Lagers (4-4-1) @ Bill (5-3-1)

Both teams are playing real well right now and climbing their division standings. Lagers have won 4 of their last 5 and worked their way from deep in last to 3rd place in the Left while Bill has won 3 and tied 1 over their last 4 games -- moving from a last-place tie in the division to 1/2 game behind division leading Malleus.

4-game trends give Lagers a 54% chance to win

Yahoo predicts Lagers 34 - Bill 27

Drow (6-3) @ Rednecks (4-4-1)

An interesting game. Drow have won 5 in a row but last week they got away with a marginal performance. Rednecks have lost 2 in a row for the first time all season but played well in the loss last week. Rednecks sport a pretty balanced team while Drow have leaned heavily on their offense.

4-game trends give Drow a 61% chance to win

Yahoo predicts Rednecks 21 - Drow 17

Mimes (5-4) @ Old No. 7 (4-5)

Old No. 7 was playing really well but laid an egg last week. Mimes had been playing pretty poorly, especially on offense, but the offense exploded last week. Single game anomalies or the beginning of new trends?

4-game trends give Old No. 7 a 69% chance to win

Yahoo predicts Old No. 7 26 - Mimes 20

Beavers (4-5) @ Malleus (6-3)

Beavers bring the league's top defense to challenge the most consistent and balanced team in the league. The real question in this game will be Beavers' offense. It can put up big numbers but just hasn't done so very often. Hence the 4-game losing streak. Malleus have won 5 of their last 6.

4-game trends give Malleus a 77% chance to win

Yahoo predicts Beavers 20 - Malleus 19

By the by, Yahoo had a horrible week last week going 1-5 in their predictions while I struggled to a 3-3 record. Yahoo and I are now both 17-10 in our predictions.
