Game of the Week: Nova Scotia Vikings at Seattle Totems

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Nova Scotia Vikings
This week, the Vikings will will need to come together as a team to win. Players like James Nagy - FB and John Flores - RB who have great team playing skills and understand what everyone needs to to will be pivotal for this.

Mary Moore : Seattle Totems
The amount leadership on the Totems will really help them this week. You only need to look at guys like John Tolbert - CB and Rich Johnson - T to see the importance. Leadership like that helps you win games.

Jim Nox : Nova Scotia Vikings
Looking at how the teams match up, I cannot see how anyone would not think that James Copeland will be dominant here. He is getting paid to deliver in exactly these kinds of games. The way they win this game will tell a lot about what they are as a team.

Darren Francis : Nova Scotia Vikings
I think their defense is really good. They are 4th in pass defense. They only give up 205.8 per game. They are 5th in run defense. Giving up only 131.9 yards per game. They are 3rd in interceptions with 13. They are 2nd in the league in tackles for loss. They are 4th in the league pass average yards per rush. But it will be a close game.

Sparks fly after Gamblers-Bears game!

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

Game of the Week: New Orleans Reapers at BCFC Bears

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : New Orleans Reapers

When you consider the two rosters, I see that Nathan Beckman - CB will shine for the Bears defense. I expect some incredible plays in this game.

Darren Francis : BCFC Bears
This should be obvious to anyone who looks a the teams. This will be watercooler talk on monday. Do not miss it.

This kid is well worthy of a pick this early. Perfect situation for him, and great fit for the team.

Jim Nox: Thomas Tyree - DT

His college coaches talk highly of his work ethic. In college, he routinely threw defenders off their feet when blocking them. Watch the tape, this kind is strong.

This kid is well worthy of a pick this early. Perfect situation for him, and great fit for the team.

Jim Nox: Brian Rhoades - G
Known among his teammates as a hard worker. With the amount this youngster can already benchpres, he will only ever have to focus on improving technique. If you go to his tape, you will se he run blocks very well. With this kid, this is a need pick they will not regret.

Jim Nox: Fred Pagan - T
He has the strength to throw defenders around, and not just the linebackers. In the run game he blocks well, shows tenacity and opens lanes. This will benefit the team. Shows keen understanding of the game. 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.

Coaching Carousel Predictions.

The offseason is upon us and that means teams are shaking up their coaching staffs. This means that we get to take our annual look at coordinators who could make the leap to become head coaches, and the teams who are likely to poach them.

The prime candidates identified by our experts are:
John Donovan - Defensive Coordinator - New Orleans Reapers
Raymond Means - Defensive Coordinator - Windsor Gamblers
Eugene Ayala - Offensive Coordinator - Nova Scotia Vikings
Christopher Rivera - Defensive Coordinator - Toronto North
David Rupert - Offensive Coordinator - New Orleans Reapers
Richard Morrison - Offensive Coordinator - Memphis Pharaohs
Everette Sweeney - Offensive Coordinator - Windsor Gamblers

To Rene Steiner - LB, the past is the past.

Rene Steiner is a great story, having worked his way out of a troubled youth. To many, Steiner is becoming a posterboy for the league's ability to help talented young men rehabilitate themselves through sports.

Jacob Venegas - P under criminal investigation!

It looks like the off field troubles of Jacob Venegas have finally caught up with him. Local news reports that a criminal investigation has been launched looking into previous criminal misconduct of Venegas. The league has reiterated that standard policy is to await results from the criminal investigation before deciding on any punishment.
