Week 7 Preview

GAME OF THE WEEK

Rednecks (4-1-1) @ Malleus Maleficarum (5-1)

The featured contest this week pits a pair of one loss teams vying for control of the Middle Division. Both teams will be without their normal starting QB’s, but Malleus is set to bring Carson Palmer in to save the day. It remains to be seen if Joe Flacco will be a better start than not starting anyone at all. Looking at the matchups this week, I think the offense is about even. I think this comes down to defense and Malleus has the best one in FLoF.

Prediction:  Rednecks fall on the road.

Malleus 15 – Rednecks 10

Iron City Lagers (3-3) @ Export Flannel (2-3-1)

Two middle-of-their-division teams that look to get into the back in the mix after losses last week. The Lagers feature the dangerous combo of Stafford and Johnson while Flannel doesn’t even appear they will be starting a QB or RB this week. Even shorthanded on defense, I think Tim pounds Clay’s team without much thought.

Prediction:  Flannel gets blanked at home.

Lagers 23 – Flannel 0

 

Mighty Midtowne Mimes (2-4) @ N.Y. Hamburglers (1-5)

In one of two ‘change the channel’ games this week, two teams at the bottom of their divisions have at it. I guess Josh Freeman could have a huge game and carry the day for Darrin, but it appears to me that the Hamburglers are set to make it two in a row this week, with another solid defensive outing in the cards.

Prediction: Toilet Bowl preview?

Hamburglers 20 – Mimes 10

 

Murrysville Drow (4-2) @ Capo Di Tutti Capi (3-3)

The Left Division leader travels to meet a dangerous Capo team. Aaron Rodgers has been on fire of late, but Capo counters with a strong duo of Brees and Rice. This game appears like it will be an offensive showdown, and plenty of it, especially since neither team is carrying a very solid D. It would not surprise me if the over/under on this game is over 70, with the winner scoring 40 or more points.

Prediction: Capo pulls the upset.

Capo 40 – Drow 33

 

Fightin' Bitin' Beavers (3-3) @ Roger's Ramjets (4-2)

Tim Tebow gets the call to fix the QB situation for Steve, while Roger and his record breaking offense await him. About the only matchups I like for Roger is the WR position, and even that is hobbled by a NE bye. I am not crazy about the Beaver’s matchups either, but I do think they are coming into the game with a better defense. That, in the end, will be what gets it done for the FBB.

Prediction:  Beavers make it interesting in the Left.

Beavers 28 – Ramjets 18

 

Bill's Team (2-4) @ Old No. 7 (2-4)

The other ‘change the channel’ game. For Bill, Cam Newton has been coming back to earth of late and the RB is still a concern. On Jason’s side, we got Seabass and Mike Turner, but which version of Turner will you get this week? This is actually a tough game to call. The matchup looks decent for both teams, but somehow that never seems to works out for either of them. I guess I will side with the team with home field advantage.

Prediction: Does it matter?

Bottle 26 – Bill 21
