Week 6 Preview

Last week I was 1 of 6. Can’t do much worse, right?

N.Y. Hamburglers (3-2) @ Rednecks (2-3)

The Rednecks open with 22 points from last night’s game, with Cutler posting a pretty good score. I think my squad can hang offensively with the Luck/Charles combo, but the Hamburglers bring a much better defense to the party and it will show this week.

Prediction:  Rednecks go down at home.

Hamburglers 33 – Rednecks 24

 

Bill's Team (3-2) @ Mighty Midtowne Mimes (1-4)

Brandon Marshall got Bill off to a good start and the Mimes got nothing from Tillman. Got a feeling this game is going to be more of a defensive struggle, as both teams are at the bottom for overall offensive output, and nothing from the match-ups this weekend lead me to believe that trend will end.

Prediction:  Bill moves to 4 wins.

Bill 21 – Mimes 16

Old No. 7 (2-3) @ Medicine Hat Bronies (2-3)

Although this is a battle of 2-3 teams, they are near the top of the league in terms of power and are pretty closely matched. That being said, No. 7 is finally starting to show life after a tough start and I think that will continue. And that applies even if Manning gets pulled in the 3^rd quarter from boredom.  

Prediction: Old No. 7 moves to .500.

Old No. 7 30 – Bronies 27

 

Malleus Maleficarum (1-4) @ Massaponnax Maniacs (2-3)

Neither team did anything of particular note in last night’s contest. This is a funny game to call. On the one hand, I like new-comer Brees for Malleus, but not much else. On the other hand, I think Lynch could win this all by himself for the Maniacs, but to date, their defense has been non-existent. In the end though, I think the defense will get it done for Malleus, but barely.

Prediction:  Malleus notch win #2.

Malleus 20 – Maniacs 18

 

Capo Di Tutti Capi (2-3) @ Drow (5-0)

Assuming that Capo start ex-Malleus players Brady and Rice, I think Capo could make it interesting for undefeated Drow. I think both team could score and score a bunch this weekend. However, the Drow are supporting the best defense in the league. That should be enough to down Capo, who is near the bottom in said department.

Prediction:  Drow remains undefeated.

Drow 44 – Capo 28

 

Dynasty (4-1) @ Iron City Lagers (3-2)

Tim Jennings was a one-man-wrecking crew for the Lagers last night, posting an impressive 28 points. Manning got the ball rolling for Dynasty with a paltry 5 point effort. The Dynasty squad was going to need all the help they could get knocking off a strong Lagers team. They won’t get it.

Prediction:  Lagers abuse Dynasty.

Lagers 38 – Dynasty 10
