Predictions and Power Rankings Week 5
Predictions
I feel that this section is becoming easier and easier as I get to know the teams a little bit better and it should. I’m still looking for that perfect week across all the divisions. I’ve been close a few times, but close won’t cut it. Either I have to get a tad better or you guys need to start falling in line. I might have to pull a Tanya Harding on you or one of your teammates to makes this happen. To make it easy for you and less painful just take the L with class and dignity and no one gets hurt.
Division 1 (2-1 LW, 8-3 Overall)
Outlaws vs Gros Coqs
This is a tough game to pick since last time Gros Coqs won and the way they have been playing it’s tough to pick against them. I just think that this time Outlaws pull it off to get revenge. Don’t worry, we get the trilogy game next week so that will decide who is the best team.
Holy Trollers vs Red Raiders NA
Don’t pick my team games
Henchmen vs Holy Trollers NA
Like above I don’t pick my team games.
Division 2 (2-4 LW, 20-10 Overall)
Old School vs Nice TDs
They are the better team and should be able to win this one. After the way Old school lost last week I can’t pick them to win.
Petits Phoques vs D#Nasty
I am picking D#Nasty to win and this is my upset pick of the week. D#Nasty has been playing well these last few weeks and I see them keeping it up this week.
Honor Game vs Bitter Boys
Honor Game is a better team that is younger, faster, and more athletic in every way. There is no doubt in my mind that with all the experience they won’t figure out a way to win especially with what could be the season on the line or at least a shot at the playoffs (ed’s note: that’s what having the season on the line means).
Centurions vs Joey’s Haters
I’m taking Centurions. They have a solid defense that can stop almost anyone. I have to assume their QB is back plus the kicker is that half of the Haters are going to be worn out by this game.
Deep Threats vs Les Boys 2.0
Deep Threats will win because of chemistry and the fact that Svetna is going to be the best player on the field.
Les Boys 2.0 vs Underdogs
Last week I picked Underdogs and they couldn’t get it done. After seeing a few games from Les Boys 2.0, I definitely see underdogs walking away with the W. Both teams are a little all over the place, but Underdogs have a QB in Leon that knows what he is doing and what it will take to win.
Underdogs vs OG Panthers
I have to go with the team with the better roster. I also think that after the Underdogs get their first win, they will be looking to pull off another win but won’t have the energy to do so.
Division 3 (2-1 LW, 11-5 Overall)
Iron Wolves vs Ninja Turtles
Ninja Turtles are the better team, player for player. They will also be looking to avenge that week 1 loss and the only blemish on their record.
Panaches vs Sriracha All Stars
I think this is the week that they pull it together and get a win. They will need their entire roster to get it done, but they will. I also feel that this is going to be a defensive game as both teams with struggle to move the ball consistently.
Raccoons vs Mustard Tigers
Both teams wear, blue but the one with the tiger will win. I just see them as a more complete team that will find a way to pull it out. Both defenses are tough to score against it will be decided by which QB plays better.
Division 4 (2-2 LW, 12-6 Overall)
Citadins vs Sofa King Good
This one won’t be close and Citadins are going to be asking for a name change after this one for their opponent to Sofa King Bad. So now that I picked against them, they have no excuse to be upset with themselves when they lose.
Kill Bills vs Flamboyant Flamingos
I wanted to pick Flamboyant Flamingos to win this week but I just can’t. I hope that Dimitri takes what I sent him and sent it to the team, because it will help and give them a chance to win. Yann will find it easy to pick the defense apart and it will make him look like a star.
Thunder Buddies vs Airborne
Thunder Buddies are the better team and should be able to win, but it will come down to who is more organized on defense and who wants it more. It will be a tight game that will be decide by who has the ball last.
Kill Bills vs Les Beautes
I just think that with Simon throwing it gives them a better chance at winning and lets Brian free to make plays.
That’s it for this week’s picks. I hope you like how I made my picks, if not guess we will have to wait until Saturday night to see who was right.
Power Rankings
The power ranking have always stirred up a little bit of conversation amongst the players and the teams. I mean you have teams that have 1 win and they feel that they are the best team out there, but that is their opinion and really mine is the only one that matters. My rankings are like this after 5 weeks.
Division 1
#1) Outlaws
#2) Gros Coqs
#3) Holy Trollers
Division 2
#1) Nice TDs
#2) Petit Phoques
#3) Joey’s Haters
Division 3
#1) Ninja Turtles
#2) Iron Wolves
#3) Mustard Tigers
Division 4
#1) Citadins
#2) Airborne
#3) Sofa King Good
Only two changes were made to my list this week and they weren’t really big changes or anything that no one saw coming. This upcoming week with the matchups we have there is a chance for a huge shake up on my list. Guess we have to wait and see how it all plays out.
