For this game, it is likely that the offense will struggle to counter James Lumpkin - LB. Watch out for him.

Infighting plagues the Bears.

Reports out of BCFC suggest that Bobby Leone - C is getting on the nerves of his team mates. One anonymous player on the team said: 'Apparently, he thinks we should be grateful to play with him, and he keeps getting in people's faces. yelling and such. It is tiresom to be honest'. James Lumpkin - LB alledgedly tried to punch Bobby Leone - C during training, claiming that Leone had punched him first. The incident is said to have shaken up the Bears locker room.'.

Game of the Week: Toronto North at BCFC Bears

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Toronto North
I am looking forward to watching this showdown.

Mary Moore : BCFC Bears
There will be a lot to dissect after this game.

Jim Nox : Toronto North
Looking at the teams, most people think that Monty Allison - QB will be a factor. He has been shining bright on the North offense this season. Love watching him.

Darren Francis : BCFC Bears
You just have to look at their offense. They are 2nd in the league passing touchdowns with 16. They are 4th in the league passing yards per game. They average 319.5! They are 2nd in the league in sacks allowed. They are maulers, 3rd in the league in pancakes. They are 1st in the league average yards per rush. They are 5th in the league rushing touchdowns with 3. They are 2nd in the league rushing yards per game. They average 153.8! They are 2nd in the league points scored per game. They average 39! It may even be a blow out.

James Lumpkin vs James Harden.

According to rumours out of the Bears locker room James Lumpkin - LB has been on collision course with many of the other Bears players recently. This is fractioning the locker room, and has unfuriated the front office. Coaches came running onto the turf earlier this week in training when James Harden - RB alledgedly shoved James Lumpkin - LB to the ground. This led James Lumpkin - LB to embark on an explicit-laden tirade. Eventually, Lumpkin had to be taken into the locker room by the coaches.'.

Jim Nox : Windsor Gamblers
They won their last game, they will win this game. Replace the batteries in your remote. You do not want to miss this game.

Darren Francis : BCFC Bears

A double digit win.

Jim Nox : Windsor Gamblers
You just have to look at their offense.

Moore and Nox Mock Draft

Pick 1: Memphis Pharaohs
Larry Moore: Tyson Dorsey - CB
Good closing speed. Can run with most players. Makes him very versatile. He is sharp, and that makes him very coachable. They will be happy to get him, they could use an upgrade at the position, and he certainly fits the bill. A franchise caliber player. Just what they have been looking for.
