Predictions and Power Rankings Week 9
Predictions
Another week down and another last place finish for me. Since we have started doing our picks among the Media team I have either finished first or last and that’s how it is looking again this season. I will say that this week was hard for everyone and only Willie got over 50% of his picks right and I know Jon wants to edit this and say he did, but if you look above I said over 50% not 50% like he got right. This season I have tried a few different ways with my picks and none of them have worked so instead of guessing who is going to win I will be telling you exactly who will win. Here are my picks in bold like always.
Division 1
Centurions vs Iron Wolves
Even without knowing who is QBing for them this week, after beating Outlaws last week how can I pick against them.
Gros Coqs vs Trollers
Trollers are going to go out and show last week was a fluke and dominate from start to finish.
A-Team vs Outlaws
Outlaws are the team that is more composed and will stay calm and not let little things distract them.
Division 2
Nice TDs vs Spritz Gang
They have the more athletic team and as long as Kris stays calm and doesn’t lose his muffins, they should win this game.
Red Raiders vs Jagerbomb
They have more chemistry and that will play a factor in this game, less (ed’s note: fewer) mental mistakes.
Marvels vs Thunder Buddies
They are the better team with a more complete roster, plus they need to rebound after last week.
Division 3
Invictus G vs Master Chiefs
Willie will be back and that should bolster their offense with Ryan back at receiver.
Panaches vs Bines
If their complete roster shows up, then this shouldn’t be close with Bines having the better roster.
Iron Wolves vs Double Dippers
Double Dippers have the better roster and should win this game, but they haven’t played well all season, but this week they get it right and show up.
Division 4
Drama Club vs Airborne
Ryan is the best player in this game, and he will show why.
Cyclones vs Mustard Tigers
Cyclones will have a new QB and that will cause issues with them this week.
Revenants vs Bines Low Fat
Their defense will shut Marvin and his offense down with little trouble.
Phoenix vs Drama Club NA
I don’t pick my team’s games.
Pocket Rockets vs Randoms
This will be closer than most people will think and that is because Pocket Rockets are missing a bunch of players.
Bines Low Fat vs Udaho Idapimps
Udaho doesn’t really have a QB and that will be an issue this week.
Division 5
Heisenberg vs Sour Peeps
Sour Peeps are no longer a team that you can overlook, they have a few weapons and Jocelyn has gotten much better from the start of the season.
Cobra Kai vs Fighting Armadillos
Experience is the key in this game.
Les Last Calls vs The Lesniaks
I was going to go with Lesniaks, but knowing Zack isn’t playing safety, Seb will have a field day with no one being able to stop him.
Mimosa Crew vs Phoenix NA
I don’t pick my team’s games.
There you have it this week’s winners. Even if I have to cheat and get some other refs in on it this week, I will be getting every game right, watch and see.
Power Rankings
With everything that happened this past week I had to make some changes to my list. With two weeks left I thought my rankings were pretty secure where they were then this weekend happened and you will see the results of that in the following list.
Division 1
#1- Outlaws
#2- Gros Coqs
#3- Trollers
Division 2
#1- Thunder Buddies
#2- Tannantes
#3- Jagerbomb
Division 3
#1- Idaho Udapimps
#2- Iron Wolves (ed’s note: again, we’re #2, but Double Dippers “have the better roster”?)
#3- Master Chiefs
Division 4
#1- Pocket Rocket
#2- Randoms
#3- Revenants
Division 5
#1- Fighting Armadillos
#2- Sour Peeps
#3- Vultures
There you have my list for this week. I know it’s not perfect and I had to make a few hard choices, but I feel that this is a good list. With only 2 weeks left in the season your team still has time to make it up in the rankings especially if we have another week like last week.
Final Thoughts
After years of being considered an elite QB, Russel Wilson is no longer any good. After getting traded to Denver everyone thought that they were going to be real contenders and that doesn’t seem to be happening, at least not yet. Wilson seems to have gone blind once he moved there missing easy throws, that is if he even sees them.
As you all know we have 2 weeks left in the season and we were supposed to have moved back to Le Ber to finish the season and as of right now we will be playing at least this week at Arthur Therrien with the possibility of next week as well, but we will have to wait and see on that. Last week I was at both locations and can tell you that Le Ber is in way better shape than Arthur Therrien and if it was up to me, I would finish season off at Arthur Therrien and just do playoffs at Le Ber. Right now, at Arthur Therrien the best field to play on is field 3 because it has the best grass.
I know there are still 2 weeks left in the season and most teams are still fighting for a playoff spot, but let’s not forget at the end of the day we are playing a game and its only for fun. Go out, have fun, and try not to get hurt or kill someone. Thanks for reading and see you all Saturday.
