Game of the Week: BCFC Bears at Seattle Totems

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : BCFC Bears
They will get back in the winning column this week.

Mary Moore : BCFC Bears
The Bears have really strong team play. You look at a player like Gary Isaac - FB and what he does for a team. He makes everyone around him better.

Jim Nox : BCFC Bears
This is a high powered offense. They are 4th in the league pass completion percentage. They are 3rd in the league in sacks allowed. They are 3rd in the league average yards per rush. They are 2nd in the league rushing touchdowns with 16. They are 1st in the league rushing yards per game. They average 157.5! Easy prediction.

I just really like the way they coach in BCFC. Head coach Ellsworth Robinson is doing great things. He is one of the best defensive minds.

Mary Moore : Nova Scotia Sharks
The Sharks are a much better team than everyone thinks This will be a great game to watch.

Jim Nox : BCFC Bears
People tend to underestimate their offense. They are 4th in the league pass completion percentage. They are 3rd in the league in sacks allowed. They are 2nd in the league average yards per rush. They are 2nd in the league rushing touchdowns with 15. They are 1st in the league rushing yards per game. They average 159.8! There are so many factors to consider when making predictions. This one was easy though.

Darren Francis : Nova Scotia Sharks
Look for their defense to dominate. They are 1st in sacks with 69. They are 1st in points allowed, averaging only 14.1. They are 1st in run defense. Giving up only 77.5 yards per game. They are 3rd in the league in tackles for loss. They are 1st in the league pass average yards per rush. They are 5th in forced fumbles.

If you look at the game, you will see some players just are not delivering.' said the RoughRiders T. Asked to clarify, Hardee suggested Antonio Bolin - RB needs to perform better, but underscored that there was plenty of blame to go around. 'Guys need to listen, we need to get grinding, you cannot just show up and expect to play or expect to win', Hardee concluded.

Week 13: RB Raymond Hoyt (BCFC) wins Offensive Player of the Week

The honor comes after Hoyt's 27 att, 151 yds, 4 TD performance against the Houston RoughRiders. Hoyt from Drake was selected in round 1, 0 years ago.

Game of the Week: Toronto North at New Orleans Reapers

Our Expert Predictions:

Looking at the teams, a good bet is that the offense will struggle to counter Stuart Lira - DT. Watch out for him.

Mary Moore : Toronto North
The North are for real! Can't lose.

Jim Nox : New Orleans Reapers
I am sure head coach Gerard Steed has something up his sleeve for this game. He is has a really good understanding of what works offensively. He is innovative with his defense. This will be watercooler talk on monday. Do not miss it.

Darren Francis : New Orleans Reapers
The Reapers really gell on the field. They play as a unit and that gets them the win this week. You only need to look at guys like Edward Martinez - CB and Jonathan Bennett - T to see the importance. Team players like that helps you win games. They might even win with three touchdowns.

Seattle Totems defense dominates!

The Totems' defense is giving people the business this season. In 12 games they’ve allowed only 3524 total yards and 256 points. James Robinson - LB is the field general of the defense with 65 tackles on the year. Could the D be back in Seattle?

Optimism after Gamblers-Pharaohs game!

Christopher Torres was not pessimistic in an interview after the Pharaohs lost to the Gamblers. Christopher Torres - CB was upbeat in his assessment after the Windsor lost a close game to the Torres. 'We learned a lot. We showed a lot. There is reason for optimism. We are very close, and we keep building every week.

Game of the Week: Nova Scotia Sharks at Houston RoughRiders

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Nova Scotia Sharks
The leadership on this team is great. Having a guy like Joe Hornsby - DE on the field and in the locker room is exactly what you need to win games like this. This should be some good football.

Mary Moore : Nova Scotia Sharks
I do not know why. I just have this hunch. A tough choice. I think it will be a close game.

Jim Nox : Nova Scotia Sharks
They are on a win streak. They will continue that streak. They will win this game. Lots of points scored.

Darren Francis : Houston RoughRiders
Looking at the teams, most people think that the offense cannot keep David Lucero - DT down for an entire game. Eventually he will come out of the blue and make a big play. It may even be a blow out.

Johnson delighted after Sharks victory.

Luis Johnson did not hold back when asked about the Sharks after their game. 'That was a pretty poor showing on their part' said the Luis Johnson - FS Sharks. Continuing with details about the Pharaohs's players missed tackles and lack of communication Johnson did not hold back. He will surely have put off several Pharaohs fans, as well as people in his own front office.

Mary Moore : BCFC Bears
I see them winning again this week. Get your popcorn ready.

Jim Nox : BCFC Bears
When they win here, people will take notice.

When you think of the players that will be on the field, a good bet is that Joseph West will be a key factor from the QB position. He will have a great day and be critical in this game. A close win.

Game of the Week: Houston RoughRiders at Seattle Totems

I think having a team players like Dennis Salas - QB is the kind of thing that will help the RoughRiders win this game. This will be a very entertaining game.

Mary Moore : Houston RoughRiders
They will win again this week.

Jim Nox : Seattle Totems
I just have this gut feeling.

Darren Francis : Seattle Totems
Looking at the two rosters, it is likely that Matthew Neely - DT is going to wreck havoc for the Totems defense. They will rack up a lot of points.

Sparks fly after North-Gamblers game!

Stuart Lira was pretty blunt in his postgame interview after the North's win. Stuart Lira - DT known for brutal honesty, said after Toronto beat Windsor that the Gamblers's did not seem prepared at all, and that he was frankly embarrased on their behalf. Them be fighting words to many a Gamblers fan, let alone the players. It will be interesting to see if anyone lashes back, or if calmer heads prevail.

Of course the Reapers win! With team players like Edward Martinez - CB and Jonathan Bennett - T who make everyone around them better, how could they not?

Mary Moore : New Orleans Reapers
Do not believe it if anyone tells you the Reapers are overhyped. They are who we thought they were. Expect a great game.

Jim Nox : Seattle Totems
It may even be a blow out.

Darren Francis : New Orleans Reapers
Head coach Gerard Steed does a great job getting them prepared every week. This week will be no different. Offensively he is a great and innovative thinker. He is running an explosive defense.

Winning pleases everyone.

Totems fans are celebrating this week after their team lit up the Pharaohs. Douglas Sharp said of his team, ‘We beat em good.’

Game of the Week: Nova Scotia Sharks at New Orleans Reapers

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Nova Scotia Sharks
Head coach Shawn Reynolds has this team running like a well oiled machine. He is doing some really smart things on offense. He is doing some clever things with his defense.

Mary Moore : New Orleans Reapers
They will rely on their offense to pull them through. They are 1st in the league passing touchdowns with 16. They are 2nd in the league passing yards per game. They average 265.4! They are 5th in the league in sacks allowed. They are 5th in the league average yards per rush. They are 2nd in the league points scored per game. They average 24.4! This will either be wildly entertaining or a dull grind. I see no middle between the two.

Jim Nox : New Orleans Reapers
When you think of the players that will be on the field, certainly Darren Lassiter - G will be a key player to watch. He always delivers a highlight reel.

Darren Francis : Nova Scotia Sharks
Of course the Sharks win! With team players like Patrick Kirk - T and Dwain Reyes - C who make everyone around them better, how could they not? This will be a great game to watch.

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Nova Scotia Sharks
Head coach Shawn Reynolds has this team running like a well oiled machine. He is has a really good understanding of what works offensively. He is doing some clever things with his defense. There will be a lot to dissect after this game.

Mary Moore : Houston RoughRiders
Of course the RoughRiders win. Have you been living under a rock? They might even win with three touchdowns.

Jim Nox : Nova Scotia Sharks
In this game, my view is that Harold Lowery - RB can take over a game. The Sharks offense is great when he shows up.

Darren Francis : Nova Scotia Sharks
Looking at how the teams match up, I cannot see how anyone would not think that the Sharks' defense goes through Joe Hornsby - DE. This man has the ability to change games.

Game of the Week: Nova Scotia Sharks at Seattle Totems

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Seattle Totems
They are well coached. I am sure head coach Douglas Sharp has them prepared for this game. He is running an explosive defense. They will put up a lot of points.

Mary Moore : Nova Scotia Sharks
Leadership. You cannot discount the difference it makes. I am thinking of a guy like Joe Hornsby - DE. He will lead the way and help them win. Believe me.

Jim Nox : Seattle Totems
This offense is likely to step up this week. They are 5th in the league passing yards per game. They average 186.2! They are 4th in the league in sacks allowed.

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : BCFC Bears
You just have to look at their offense. This will be an action-packed affair.

Looking at how the teams match up, it is likely that the key for the offense is to contain Stuart Lira - DT. I do not think they will succeed and he will blow the game wide open.

This is just what my gut tells me. I expect some incredible plays in this game.

Pick 1: Windsor Gamblers
Larry Moore: Warren Washington - DT
Not afraid to lead. I want this kid on my team. He understands his role on the field, and how it fits in with what everyone else is doing. It is no coincidence he has attracted a lot of attention. This kid can bench press offensive linemen on his way to the Quarterback. He addresses a need for them.

Jim Nox: Warren Washington - DT
Teammates look to him for leadership, and he consistently delivers. If you ask around, everyone will tell you, this kid is all about the team. This guy is hard to move. In college, he would routinely just throw blockers on the ground on his way to the Quarterback. You need him, just get him already.

Pick 2: New Orleans Reapers
Larry Moore: Oscar Demers - DT
Need a leader? He is your guy. The guy has his head on straight. Teammates love him. All he cares about is the team. He helps everyone succeed. Nice closing speed once he gets penetration.

Pick 3: Houston RoughRiders
Larry Moore: Terry Rice - LB
Would occasionally flatten offensive linemen in college. Even in the pros, opponents better not try to block him with a Tight End or Running Back. Is speedy enough to stay on the field in passing situations. This guy is available. This guy fills a need. They have to take him. It makes so much sense.

Jim Nox: Terry Rice - LB
Not the strongest, but strong enough. Can maintain his leverage and shed blocks. Is speedy enough to stay on the field in passing situations.

Jim Nox: Marvin Scott - LB
Need a leader? He is your guy. He helps everyone get in the right position, making the team run as a well oiled machine. So fast. You could drop him into coverage if you wanted.

Pick 7: Toronto North
Larry Moore: Justin Richard - T
This kid is already a pretty good blocker in the running game. He will only get better as he refines his technique. Nice instincts. Blue-chip player. Exactly what they look for. Add a young talent to a roster thin at the position, a great fit.

Larry Moore: David Lucero - DT
Here is a kid who no one doubts will put in the work. Good understanding of the game, and what is required of each position. Nothing to think about here. Pick up the kid, bring him into the building, put him om the field.

Jim Nox: David Lucero - DT
This guy understands what it means to be a pro. You do not need to tell him things twice. Very quick learner. They would be crazy not to take him here. A great fit, both in terms of what they need and the quality of player they get. This will put a smile on many faces.

Pick 10: New Orleans Reapers
Larry Moore: Richard Wyatt - G
Rarely do a player this young bench pres this much. This kind of physical foundation given him an incredible ceiling. Do not be afraid to draft a position of need here. This kid is well worthy of a pick this early. Perfect situation for him, and great fit for the team.
