Game of the Week: Nova Scotia Sharks at Seattle Totems

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Seattle Totems
Can't lose.

Mary Moore : Nova Scotia Sharks
Certainly, this defense will have a good game. They are 3rd in sacks with 57. They are 1st in points allowed, averaging only 17.8. They are 2nd in pass defense. They only give up 206.2 per game. They are 2nd in run defense. Giving up only 100.6 yards per game. They are 2nd in interceptions with 10. They are 4th in the league pass average yards per rush. They are 2nd in forced fumbles.

Jim Nox : Nova Scotia Sharks
I love what they are doing in Nova Scotia coaching-wise. Head coach Shawn Reynolds is a major reason they will win this game. He is a great offensive mind. He is one of the best defensive minds.

Darren Francis : Seattle Totems
For this game, you would be a fool not to think Lawrence Slattery - DE is a key cog in the defensive machinery of the Totems. Should be interesting to see him going against a quality opponent. I am really on the fence for this one, but I stand my prediction.

Eugene McCain taunts the North after Gamblers victory.

Eugene McCain was pretty blunt in his postgame interview after the Gamblers's win. 'I think we were clearly the better team. You know, the North talk a big game, but then this game gave context to that.

Who is the better LB? Reapers' Randy Bowling weighs in

LB Randy Bowling sparked up a friendly rivalry with Rene Steiner in an interview with local news. Randy Bowling brings up Rene Steiner every chance he gets, it seems. 'Is he faster than me? nah. Look at the tape, once the pads come on he slows down. Sure, he is good and he may even be as good as me some day.' The Reapers LB said. Certainly such words will set the internet forums on fire, and it will be interesting to see if Rene Steiner takes the bait and responds.

Week 14: RB Jerome Jones (HRR) wins Offensive Player of the Week

Week 14's Offensive Player of the Week is Running Back Jerome Jones. His 18 att, 108 yds, 1 TD, 3 rec, 82 yds, 2 TD performance stood out in the 49 to 14 victory for the Houston RoughRiders.

Our Expert Predictions:

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

This offense is likely to step up this week. They are 5th in the league pass completion percentage. They are 4th 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 1st in the league rushing touchdowns with 21. They are 1st in the league rushing yards per game. They average 162.3! They are 4th in the league points scored per game. They average 23.5! This is going to be a very viewer friendly game.

Jim Nox : BCFC Bears
They win big.

Darren Francis : BCFC Bears
I do not think their defense gets enough credit. They are 4th in sacks with 41. They are 2nd in points allowed, averaging only 19.9. They are 4th in pass defense. They only give up 223.8 per game. They are 2nd in run defense. Giving up only 103.2 yards per game. They are 5th in the league in tackles for loss. They are 1st in the league pass average yards per rush. They are 5th in forced fumbles. Believe me.

Reapers' Eric Polk has an opinion on who is the best T

T Eric Polk sparked up a friendly rivalry with Joseph Dozier in an interview with local news. Eric Polk brings up Joseph Dozier every chance he gets, it seems. 'Is he faster than me? nah. Look at the tape, once the pads come on he slows down. Sure, he is good and he may even be as good as me some day.' The Reapers T said. Certainly such words will set the internet forums on fire, and it will be interesting to see if Joseph Dozier takes the bait and responds.

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

The honor comes after Hoyt's 27 att, 105 yds, 1 TD performance against the Houston RoughRiders. Hoyt from Drake was selected in round 1, 7 years ago.

They are 2nd in run defense. Giving up only 100.7 yards per game. They are 5th in the league in tackles for loss. They are 1st in the league pass average yards per rush. They are 4th in forced fumbles.

Mary Moore : BCFC Bears
In the context of this game, it is likely that the defense will struggle to contain Alfonzo Lake - G. Expect him to show up in a big way. Expect a great game.

Jim Nox : Houston RoughRiders
Their win streak will not be broken in this game.

Darren Francis : Houston RoughRiders
Head coach Justin Harris does a great job getting them prepared every week. This week will be no different. He makes great offensive adjustments. He is running an explosive defense. He is preparation and gameplanning is great. This is going to be a very viewer friendly game.

Grigsby report

Sharks have confirmed that they have made James Grigsby - QB available for federal investigators. Surely, this in not the kind of story the Sharks want to have to deal with. 'We want to focus on football. Having to deal with all the stories coming out about Sharks takes away from that', said an anonymous source in the front office.

Infighting plagues the North.

Rumours out of Toronto indicate that William Queen - WR 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 tiresome to be honest'. Apparently, William Queen - WR threw his helmet at Adam Lawrence - LB after an argument in the locker room. The incident followed a recent streak of bickering and arguments between the two. Nevertheless, with things having now escalated, the challange now is whether the coaching staff can clamp down and get them on the same page.

Week 12: WR Jacob Wooley (NO) wins Offensive Player of the Week

Jacob Wooley of the New Orleans Reapers receives the offensive player of the week honors for his 6 rec, 117 yds, 2 TD effort. The former Round 1 selection is racking up the receiving yards, bringing his season total to 855 yards on the season.

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Toronto North
The North are a much better team than everyone thinks Easy prediction.

Mary Moore : Toronto North
They are well coached. I am sure head coach Lawrence Schaefer has them prepared for this game. Offensively he is a great and innovative thinker. He is doing some clever things with his defense.

This is a high powered offense. They are 2nd in the league pass completion percentage. They are 4th in the league passing touchdowns with 16. They are 3rd in the league passing yards per game. They average 242.8! They are 5th in the league in sacks allowed. They are maulers, 2nd in the league in pancakes. They are 3rd in the league rushing touchdowns with 17.

Darren Francis : Houston RoughRiders
The RoughRiders 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 Joseph Parker - DT and Dean Johnson - G to see the importance. Team players like that helps you win games. They greatly outscore them here.

Bales blasts Michael Wyant - WR in wake of Totems loss.

Patrick Bales was furious with his team in an interview after the Totems lost. He called out the effort on both offense and defense. 'These guys, they do not seem hungry. We have to get on the same page. Are we doing this or not?', he complained. 'Man, I think a bunch of guys let us down. I could point the finger at many.' the 35 year old P said. Later in the interview he seemed to indicate that Michael Wyant - WR was one of the players he had in mind.

Jim Nox : Nova Scotia Sharks
For this game, it seems to me that Roger Byers - CB can take over a game. There is a reason they are paying him that much money. Can't lose.

Darren Francis : Nova Scotia Sharks
This is a very good defense. They are 2nd in sacks with 40. They are 3rd in points allowed, averaging only 19.7. They are 3rd in pass defense. They only give up 207 per game.

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : New Orleans Reapers
In this game, everything points to that the key is whether they can contain Emil Medrano - QB. If not, he will destroy them.

I do not think their offense gets enough credit. They are 3rd in the league pass completion percentage. They are 4th in the league passing touchdowns with 11. They are 3rd in the league passing yards per game. They average 244.8! They are maulers, 3rd in the league in pancakes.

Team gelling matters in games like this. And when I look at the Reapers and the players they have who excel at organizing their teammates, players such as Edward Martinez - CB, James Chun - DE and David Spain - RB, I think the Reapers get the win.

Darren Francis : New Orleans Reapers
I have a lot of respect for head coach John Painter. He is doing great things in New Orleans. He makes great offensive adjustments. He is doing some clever things with his defense.

Toronto North defense dominates!

The North' defense is stonewalling opponents this season. In 8 games they’ve allowed only 2267 total yards and 147 points. Rene Steiner - LB is the boss of the defense with 53 take downs on the year. Could the D be back in Toronto?

Adam Lawrence lashes out in wake of loss.

Adam Lawrence was angry with his teammates after the loss. He said that the entire team needed to step up. However, he also singled out some teammates. 'We lost and somebody is to blame. If you look at the game, you will see some players just are not delivering.' said the North LB. Asked to clarify, Lawrence suggested Mac Satterfield - T 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', Lawrence concluded.

Mclean not down after Pharaohs close loss.

George Mclean was frank and upbeat about the game against Totems in an interview after the game. George Mclean - SS was upbeat in his assessment after the Seattle lost a close game to the Mclean. 'We learned a lot. We showed a lot. There is reason for optimism. We are very close, and we keep building every week. Do not switch channels, we will be with you shortly.', Seattle said smiling confidently.

Totems T Charles Monk compared himself to Eric Polk of the Reapers in a postgame interview. 'haha, and then these clowns on the internet think Eric Polk is even comparable to me.

Game of the Week: Toronto North at New Orleans Reapers

Mary Moore : Toronto North
Of course the North win. Have you been living under a rock?

Jim Nox : New Orleans Reapers
In this game, a good bet is that Richard Withers - LB needs to show up, but if he does the Reapers defense is very stingy.

Darren Francis : Toronto North
Of course the North win! With team players like Robert Thompson - DT and Ralph Goodrich - WR who make everyone around them better, how could they not?

They are 2nd in interceptions with 3. They are 3rd in the league in tackles for loss. They are 3rd in the league pass average yards per rush. This may be one for the ages.
