| Beach Raiders vs Assassins: So the BRaiders want some love. They earned it this week. They played well against a talented Vikings team. The BeachRaiders love the run game. They will continue to pound it with Brett Burnham who is averaging 8 yards per carry. Assassins have had a rough stretch getting smoked by Gunz and Steelers and a tough loss to Oilers hurts. Assassins are very limited on offense and are lacking serious playmakers. And on d have given up over 100 pts in six games. BB and the BeachRaiders will run the football and control the game. I expect a lower scoring game but the BR's will pull this out. BR 18 to 6.
Keys to game for the BRaiders: Control the game on both sides of the ball. Do not force the ball down the field. Stick to what you do well...run the football.
Keys to game for the Assassins: BR's love the toss run play. Have your outside backers contain Brett. Do not fall for play action. Lyndell can only run deep. Contain the run game and sustain drives on offense.
Knights vs Whalers: This one will not be pretty. Knights struggled on offense against the Franchise but even struggling they still put up 21 points. Whalers have a tough defense and a fewof their guys can get to the QB (Milledge, Acevedo, etc.) but the Knights oline is one of the best in the league. Too many weapons on the knights for the whalers to contain them all. Whalers offense is non existent and your going against a Knight team that only gives up 11 pts a game. Knights 35 to 0.
Keys to the game for the Knights: Dont force the ball in. Take what the whalers give you and be patient. Get rid of ball as they will get to Bard eventually.
Keys to the game for the Whalers: Get to Bard and force him to make mistakes. Their weapons will make plays but stay positive and keep pushing.
Oilers vs Young Gunz: This is interesting matchup. Gunz finally came with the whole unit and stomped the whalers. Oilers are coming off a win against the Assassins and a bye last week. When Roberts has his weapons - sanchez elfren and elliott they are very tough. With these weapons he threw for over 230 yards and 4 tds last week. Mark Moore had a monster game last week with 168 yards passing and 108 yards rushing with 3 combined tds. However mark wants to run he has not completed more than 6 passes in a game all year. Oilers have a stingy defense with Ortiz and Lo heading the attack. Lo has 4 int's on the yr along with 12 flag pulls. Oilers will keep this closer than YGunz want but it wont be enough to top the national champs. YG 21 to 12.
Keys to the game for the YG: Make Mark throw the football. Wide rush him and force him to get rid of it quickly. He likes to buy time than take shots down field.
Keys to the game for the Oilers: Give Mark some time to find holes in the YG's porous secondary. Get pressure on Roberts and make him utilize his quick pass game. Contain sanchez, without pito sanchez is his go to the majority of the time.
Steelers vs Cowboys (Game of the Week): After losing their first two games the Cowboys have seemed to find themselves. 4 straight wins and a big one against the YG's. However, the Steelers are also hot after a tough loss to the Bulldogs a few weeks back. Rocket has flipped the script on teams and just buys time in the pocket to pass the ball. He has passed for close to 500 yards in 2 his last two games with 6 passing tds. The steelers are tough in the middle with izzy and marcos who have combined for 38 flags 2 sacks 1 int and a defensive td. Rosario is coming off a great week where he threw for close to 200 yds against Chief and the YGun defense. Cowboys you will have to prove to me that the YGun game was not a fluke. Steelers 27 to 12.
Keys to the game for the Steelers: Rocket keep doing your thing. Teams will always worry about your running ability giving you alot of one on one coverage down the field. Dont force into coverage and take what the Cowboys give you.
Keys to the game for the Cowboys: Tough day ahead for you guys. Stay on the steelers wr's as rocket will buy time and find them if left open. Areas of the steelers secondary is suspect. Protect Rosario so he can have some time to find the holes.
Spartans vs Franchise: Franchise has had soem tough losses this yr and with the latest to the knights you have to wonder when it will take its toll. Spartans are now 2 - 4 and this pack of wolves is looking more like a pack of indoor kittens. Spartans can score alot of points with Spence and Kurt and Dawud at his disposal. However, when will they make a defensive stop when they need it? Calovito has made the franchise a much tougher out and with his creative play calling and a weak defense for the spartans I expect this to be another high scoring affair. Calovito has thrown for a combined 400 yrds in 2 games and 3 tds with no int's. However, Spence and his 1400 passings yards and his weapons Kurt and Dawud who have a combined 55 catches, 1100 yds, and 15 tds will not be contained by the franchise defense. Spartans 35 to 20.
Keys to the game for the Spartans: Get to calovito and make him throw when he doesnt want to. Dont underestimate his running ability either. Watch for trick plays (pop passes, bubble and go's, etc.)
Keys to the game for the Franchise: Build off the defensive effort you put forth against the Knights. You have to get to Spence. He stays in the pocket...get pressure up the middle. Watch the quick game to Dawud and Kurt. Very fast

| Kazaam your a genius when it comes to this.
Assassins: Your a young team you play hard but when you can't lose confidence when a team scores a TD keep that drive going even if players on defense have to help offense or vise versa.
Whalers: Plain and simple you have to find some answer on offense. If Doug Nelson(I refuse to call him Ocho) is your go to guy he has to start CATCHING the ball to many dropped passes especially in winning situation somebody on this team has got to step it up offensively and your QBs like running the ball put them at RB keep doing your thing on Defense that's the heart of your team.
Oilers: Veteran team that's respected when your losing the fingers start pointing and the arguing amongst each starts rolling. You been playing this game to long you should how that effects a team. Eric Bottomly has got to be more of a factor on offense and the LBs has got to look for more than just the run.
Steelers: Real quick #66 said that he felt they weren't mentioned in the Top 5 for best O-lines and there's 1 answer to that... SHOW US. Steelers have always been a team that was big on O-Linemen show this league why you feel your a TOP 5 O-Line
Cowboys: Gor let me give you a comparison: NFL 2010 Dallas Cowboys were playing horrible with Romo he got hurt Kitna stepped in and wins were produced. CFFL 2011 Cowboys go 0-2 Gor stepped in at QB and what happens? WINS ARE PRODUCED even beat the Young Gunz(site visits).. Gor on another post you mentioned you were only playing QB until your other one ccame back if you stepped in and fixed what was broken why go back to what broke it in the beginning?
Spartans: Explosive on offense Maddog running all over the place, Dawud making plays all over the field Kurt a.k.a Megatron causing problems in every secondary, Jon Green makes plays when you need them and Cash is becoming a go to guy the question here like Kazaam said is the defense. I like your D-Line but like every other team you need a DT and wyteboi is not it he's a good DE might even be in the Top 10 this season but he can't plug the middle and it was proven the Bulldogs game you have got to let Sean and wyteboi do what they do at DE your confusing me with the league with only rushing 2 guys. Then you have the secondary what ever scheme your coming up with cange it fast. Cash your doing your thing on Offense but your going to play safety then play safety I don't see that ability in you you said your Revis of the league if this is true the play corner fix these problems you fix your defense
