Mary Moore : Detroit Demons
When you think of the players that will be on the field, it seems obvious that Mario Bartholomew - CB has to potential to carry the Demons defense. It may come down to the wire though.

Jim Nox : Hartford
I really think their offense will make the difference. They are 4th in the league in sacks allowed. They are maulers, 2nd in the league in pancakes. They are 2nd in the league in passes of more than 20 yards. They are 4th in the league rushing touchdowns with 13.

Darren Francis : Hartford
Replace the batteries in your remote. You do not want to miss this game.

Lyon in trouble again?

Rumors on social media are swirling that Jack Lyon - T may be under investigation again. With the off field issues of Jack Lyon - T boiling up again one has to wonder how long of a leash he has with the Gladiators.

Paul Wagoner takes aim at the Gladiators.

Paul Wagoner pointed fingers when asked about the loss to Gladiators. 'I think we were the best team on the field. You know, the Gladiators can point to the result all they want, but they did not deserve to win this.

Lyon report

A person familiar with the Gladiators says that they are increasingly worries about the off field red flags of Jack Lyon - T. Jack Lyon - T is at it again, it seems.

The have really strong team play. You look at a player like Alfonzo Heinz - C and what he does for a team. He makes everyone around him better.

Infighting plagues the Demons.

Sources in Demons locker room reveal that Raymond Torrence - RB continues to get attention for all the wrong reasons. There has been numerous under the radar conflicts during training.

Darren Francis : Innsbruck-Vienna
I just really like the way they coach in Innsbruck-Vienna. Head coach Jared Rodriguez is doing great things.

Big boys shows the way in Chicago.

The big men from are rag dolling defenses this year. They’ve given up only 1 sacks in 6 games while collecting 197 pancakes.

Having to deal with all the stories coming out about takes away from that', said an anonymous source in the front office.

I see them winning again this week.

Darren Francis : Innsbruck-Vienna
In the context of this game, it is likely that Steven O'Connor - DE is a guy who will carry the game. I think he will do so this week as well. But it will be a close game.

Defense dominates in Athens.

The Odyssey D-Line is ransacking opponents so far this season with a total of 8 sacks, 1 forced fumbles and 49 tackles in 5 games.

Game of the Week: Chicago at Rome Gladiators

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Chicago
Head coach Dennis Turner does a great job getting them prepared every week. This week will be no different. This will be a very entertaining game.

Mary Moore : Chicago
When you consider the two rosters, I think that John Lucas - DT is a guy to keep an eye on. He is putting up a solid season. He will run wild in this game unless the offense gameplans for him. Expect a great game.

Jim Nox : Chicago
I am really on the fence for this one, but I stand my prediction.

Darren Francis : Chicago
The leadership on this team is great. Having a guy like Richard Ackerman - QB on the field and in the locker room is exactly what you need to win games like this. The way they win this game will tell a lot about what they are as a team.

Is Gamboa a bad influence?

A person familiar with the Demons says that David Gamboa - G is angry about being monitored by coaches. Gamboa claims he is being singled out, and that coaches are looking for an excuse to get rid of him. Sources in the building say Gamboa has been vocal about what he sees as unfair persecution and have divided the locker room on the issue.

Wagoner not pulling punches after the Gladiators won.

They will get another win this week. This may be one for the ages.

Looking at the teams, the received view holds that Lanny Rhoads is the best FS that will see the field. He will have a great day and be critical in this game. Get your popcorn ready.

I really like their defense. They are 2nd in sacks with 7. They are 3rd in points allowed, averaging only 26.7. They are 5th in pass defense. They only give up 244 per game. They are 4th in run defense. Giving up only 125.7 yards per game. They are 4th in the league in tackles for loss. They are 1st in forced fumbles.

Darren Francis : Perth
Looking at the teams, there is no way around that Valentin Halstead - T will shine for the offense. They rely on him, and he will deliver.

Mary Moore : Chicago
Head coach Dennis Turner puts them over the top in this game. This will really be a statement win.

The have really strong team play. You look at a player like Alfonzo Heinz - C and what he does for a team. He makes everyone around him better. This may be a pivotal game for their season.

Darren Francis : Chicago
You got to like this defense. This will either be wildly entertaining or a dull grind. I see no middle between the two.
