Darren Francis : BCFC Bears
You heard it here first.

The Herd win. I see no reason to think otherwise. The referees will have their work cut out for them. This will be very competitive and intense.

When you consider the two rosters, common sense predicts that there is one thing you have to mention. There is this LB named Joseph Conners. I expect everyone will be watching him, and he will shine. This will be a great game to watch.

Their offense will step up this game. They are 5th in the league pass completion percentage. They are 5th in the league passing touchdowns with 18. They are 2nd in the league in sacks allowed.

Jeremy Piper : Seattle Totems
For this game, certainly, you have to think that the key for the offense is to contain Alonso Churchill - CB. I do not think they will succeed and he will blow the game wide open.

Do not believe it if anyone tells you the RoughRiders are overhyped. They are who we thought they were.

They will win again this week. They might even blow them out.

Jim Nox : Houston RoughRiders
