Predictions and Power Rankings Week 7
Predictions
It’s that time of the week again where I get to tell you who is going to walk away victorious. The last few weeks I’ve been slipping a little and now is the time to start getting them right again. Here are this week’s winners or at least how I see it.
Division 1 (2-0 LW, 10-4 Overall)
Gros Coqs vs Red Raiders
Last time these two teams met Red Raiders walked away with the win. This week it won’t happen. I feel Gros Coqs are more of a team and that is why they will win. If Red Raiders play like they did last week and not bitch at each other it will be a close game, if not expect to see a blowout.
Holy Trollers vs Henchmen NA
I don’t pick my games.
Division 2 (5-3 LW, 28-16 Overall)
Centurions vs Underdogs
Centurions win and get back on track. They are the better team and their defense is fantastic and will give Underdogs lots of problems.
D#Nasty vs Les Boys 2.0
This will be a close game, but with all the games that D#Nasty has been in that were close, they will pull it off. They have more experience to lean on and that will be the difference.
OG Panthers vs Old School
Roster wise, I think OG Panthers have the better roster and it comes down to how Charles plays. I just don’t think that OG Panthers will be able to keep Dahic away from getting a few picks and taking over this game by himself.
Joey’s Haters vs Bitter Boys
Joey’s Haters have the better roster and should be able to win even with Max not there. The matchup that I would keep an eye on is Haney vs Kevin as both guys have size, speed and can make tons of plays happen. Who will have more big plays and who plays QB for the Haters will determine the winner in this one.
Petits Phoques vs Nice TDs
This could be a finals preview. I have to go with Petit Phoques since I see them having the better roster from top to bottom. I also can see Kris getting a little frustrated with their defense and he hasn’t been playing great the last few weeks because of a certain little injury.
Deep Threats vs Honor Game
There is too much talent on this team for them not to win. The only way they lose this game is if they can’t keep it together and start bitching at one another.
Petits Phoques vs Bitter Boys
I have them beating Nice TDs so how can I see them losing this game? They have the more dynamic playmakers and will keep the undefeated season going.
Division 3 (2-1 LW, 15-7 Overall)
Raccoons vs Iron Wolves
After the beating Iron Wolves took last week, I can’t see them losing again this week. I would expect to see a full roster from them as they start to gear up for the playoffs.
Sriracha All Stars vs Ninja Turtles
Even after the week that Sriracha had last week and the great performance from their QB anyone who thinks I would pick them over Ninja Turtles needs to go to the doctors and have their heads examined. Ninja Turtles are the better team and it’s not even close.
Mustard Tigers vs Ninja Turtles
Both teams are solid teams and they might meet in the finals. I just see Ninja Turtles being able to turn it on and take over the game whenever they want. They have too many guys that can make big plays at any point.
Mustard Tigers vs Panaches
With all the experience this team has, they can’t lose this one. The only thing that might hold them back a little is the fact that it is their second game of the day and they are a little bit older and might wear down in the heat.
Division 4 (4-0 LW, 18-8 Overall)
Airborne vs Citadins
All anyone talks about is how Serge Pilon is on the team and how he is too good for the division. Yes, all that might be true, but even if he wasn’t there they would still win this game. Carol-Ann is a fabulous QB who doesn’t make a lot of mistakes, Jasmine is a stud receiver leading the division in catches and TDs and is also number two in yards and Simon is the best rusher in the division. So enough of, “oh, Serge is on the team it’s not fair”. (ed’s note: it sounds like you think the whole team shouldn’t be in the division, isn’t that more unfair?)
Flamboyant Flamingos vs Thunder Buddies
This is a rematch from last week. Thunder Buddies will win again, but by a bigger margin. I hope some of the Flamboyant Flamingos have fun camping this week while the rest of the team is out there having fun playing football.
Kill Bills vs Sofa King Good
They have the better team and their guys will show up. I’m not sure who Yann will be throwing to this week, but I doubt I know any of them. Sofa King Good will win, but not by as much as last week.
Sofa King Good vs Les Beautes
They are the better team or at least have the better QB. This is again a rematch from last week and if Les Beautes have any respect for themselves they won’t lose by the same amount as they did last week or I at least hope they won’t.
Power Rankings
This week lots of things happened and I had to make a few changes to my ranking as you can see below. Before I did my rankings, I figured that it was going to be very simple and I’d only make a change of two, but then I really looked at it and was like “fudge it”, so here are my rankings after 7 weeks of playing.
Division 1
#1) Gros Coqs
#2) Outlaws
#3) No one earned this spot (ed’s note: damn, ice cold)
Division 2
#1) Petits Phoques
#2) Joey’s Haters
#3) Nice TDs
Division 3
#1) Ninja Turtles
#2) Mustard Tigers
#3) Iron Wolves (close to being cut off the list) (ed’s note: that’s fair)
Division 4
#1) Citadins
#2) Sofa King Good
#3) No one earned this spot this week
There were loads of mismatches this week to go along with a bunch of blowouts. Yes, some of those games did affect my rankings. As you can see a few spots were not earned and are up for grabs. The Trollers threw up another duck and got bumped. I would have kicked both Nice TDs and Joey’s Haters off the list, but no one is even close to them in the standings. Iron Wolves showed me nothing and were close to getting kicked off, but they have been missing guys for a few games so they got a pass this week. The only ranking people should be caring about at this point are where they sit in the standings. With two weeks left there are still tons of games left to be played.
