Week 2 Preview

Last week I was 5-1 on my predictions. Time to see if it was just a fluke:

Rednecks (0-1) @ Mighty Midtowne Mimes (1-0)

Rednecks open with a decent defensive effort from Chandler Jones, singlehandedly eclipsing the defensive total from my team last week. The Mimes didn't score a bunch, but the defense is tough. I think Mimes score more this week and handle my team easily.

Prediction:  Mimes blank Rednecks

Mimes 20 – Rednecks 0

 

N.Y. Hamburglers (0-1) @ Bill's Team (1-0)

Both these teams scored 63 total points last week, so that appears to make them pretty evenly matched.  I’m not exactly sure how to call this one, but looking at the match ups, I’ll take my changes on the Ryan/Charles combo, despite the iffy 4 point opening from Edelman.

Prediction:  Both team even their records to 1-1 in a low scoring affair.

Hamburglers 17 – Bill 12

 

Massaponnax Maniacs (0-1) @ Capo Di Tutti Capi (1-0)

I think the Maniacs will improve on their 11 point showing on defense from last week. Will it be enough to counter Brees and Forte? I’m not betting on it.

Prediction:  Capo goes to 2-0.

Capo 33 – Maniacs 22

 

Medicine Hat Bronies (1-0) @ Dynasty (1-0)

This game is the only one this week that pits two undefeated teams against each other. The Dynasty squad threw up huge offensive numbers last week, while the Bronies were mostly fortunate to be playing a team that posted no defensive. I think Dynasty has another good offensive showing.

Prediction:  Dynasty edges out Bronies.

Dynasty 46 – Bronies 35

 

Drow (1-0) @ Malleus Maleficarum (0-1)

Malleus got off to a rough start last night, with Brady posting a meager 10 points.  That isn't going to get it done against a really tough Drow squad. Got a feeling this game could result in one of the more lopsided losses of Haydn’s FLoF career.

Prediction:  Drow smokes the Hammer at home.

Drow 55 – Malleus 18

 

Iron City Lagers (0-1) @ Old No. 7 (0-1)

Both teams lost last week, despite pretty good point totals from each. This one is another tough one to call: on the one hand, Foster worries me for the Lagers, while on the other side, I’m not crazy about Jason’s match ups this week, save Manning. I think I’m going to call this for the Lagers in a close one.

Prediction:  Lagers get into the win column.

Lagers 34 – No. 7 27
