| Hey No Name relax i usually put these out on Friday!!!!!! take your Angry face and shove it up your A%%
With what's looking like a wash out Memorial Day Weekend weather could play a significant factor in the games Sunday.
Due to time constraints some of these will be shorter than I would like but i will spend more time on the BIG GAMES:
Ducks/Wolves -
a few weeks ago this game was going to be the battle of the basement but the Ducks have turned things around and are fighting like hell to get in the playoffs. the Wolves have shown improvement in the last few weeks but this one is going to the Ducks. To much talent to contend with for the wolves.
Ducks 18 - Wolves 6
Hawks/Patriots -
Both teams are in desperate need of a win if either want to have any shot at the playoffs. The Pats are looking to bounce back from the upset loss last week against Havoc and the Hawks need to find an offense and find it fast. I expect this to be a defensive battle. Just think the woeful offense of the Hawks hurts them again and Pats get a much needed W.
Pats 12 - Hawks 6
Bulldogs/Havoc -
For the first time in a while the Dogs arent in a game of the week and until last week probably thought this game was going to be more like a Varsity/JV scrimmage but Havoc showed up last week and got a big W. UNFORTUNATELY for Havoc they arent playing the Pats again this week. Bulldogs in a rout.
Bulldogs 28 - Havoc 0
Second String/Dolphins -
Dolphins have really struggled of late and i feel they are going to benefit from S.S. having to play the Steelers right before this game. Dolphins need to take advantage of that and really put the pressure on S.S. right away. S.S. is not a very deep team or very physical, and having to play 2 games Sunday and the 1st one against a physical team like the steelers makes me put this game on....
***UPSET ALERT***
Dolphins 18 - Second String 12
HitSquad/Assassins -
It wasnt easy not making this a game of the week. I expect this one to be good. you have HitSquad coming off what some would say might be their best win in a long time (maybe ever). We all know what the HitSquad def brings every game but last week the offense came alive lets hope that carries over to this week because for them to win it will have to. Assassins come in trying to hold on to a playoff spot. They have a chance to control their own destiny with a win this sunday. They lose and they put their backs against the wall. Look for Troy to have his team ready to go.
Assassins 13 - Hitsquad 12 (this was a really tough pick)
GAMES OF THE WEEK
Steelers/Second String -
When the top 2 teams in the league (while by standings) meet is has to be a GAME OF THE WEEK. The same way i believe that the Dolphins will benefit from S.S. playing this game before their game, the same idea might hold true for S.S. here with the Steelers playing a big one before this game. The one thing I keep going back to when im thinking about this game is one thing. PHYSICALITY. in my mind its lopsided in the direction of the Steelers. I really think that S.S. will have a tough time dealing with the physical nature of the Steelers. If the Dline can get to Gelsomino early and often it could make for a long day. BUT if Gelsomino gets time i think he can pick apart the Steeler secondary.
KEY MATCHUPS:
Steeler Dline vs S.S. Oline
Rocket vs S.S. Defense
Shields vs J. Gelsomino
Steelers 21 - Second String 12
Bears/Steelers -
Not sure if any of you heard but there is a game on Sunday between the Bears and the Steelers. Just want to make everyone knew that. This game has more hype than any recent regular season game in a while. And why not? you have the lone undefeated team in the Steelers and the team that is playing the best football as of right now in Da Bears. I going out on a limb here and going to say that this game will probably have the most trash talk of any game ever going on. There will be some real physical play. This will be the most Physical game of the year hands down. The REFS will have to get this game under control immediately and NOT allow what happened in the Bulldogs/Steelers game to happen here. Make the call stick by it and if you're not sure take the other refs aside and talk about it. This game comes down one thing Rocket vs Ish, whomever plays the better game will get his team the win. Look for the Steelers Dline to really try and rough up Ish. Ish needs to keep his cool and just play Football. If the Steelers can get inside Ish's head it will not bode well for the Bears. Side note: Shields i hope you are well rested because you have your hands full Sunday First Hall then Gelsomino, GOOD LUCK.
KEY MATCHUPS:
Rocket vs Ish
Rocket vs Bears Defense
Bears Oline vs Steelers Dline
Steelers vs Ish's head
***UPSET ALERT***
BEARS 13 - STEELERS 12
Good luck to all the teams and everyone have a SAFE holiday weekend
