Game of the Week: Washington Guardians at Tampa Bay Cannons

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Tampa Bay Cannons
Looking at the teams, it seems obvious that they will not be able to keep Abel Swearingen - DT down for an entire game. Eventually he will come out of the blue and make a big play. They get their win and this game will be just another day at the office.

Mary Moore : Washington Guardians
The difference in this game will be their defense. They are 1st in sacks with 53. They are 3rd in points allowed, averaging only 23.9. They are 2nd in pass defense. They only give up 251.6 per game. They are 2nd in interceptions with 14. They are 4th in the league pass average yards per rush. They are 5th in forced fumbles.

Jim Nox : Tampa Bay Cannons
Leaders like William Pauley - DE and Ronald Bowie - RB who are vocal in the locker room and on the field is the kind of thing that pulls the Cannons through in games like this.

Darren Francis : Washington Guardians
They will break their losing streak with a W this week.

Game of the Week: Tampa Bay Cannons at New Orleans Rebels

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Tampa Bay Cannons
They might even blow them out.

Mary Moore : Tampa Bay Cannons
Head coach Steven Perez runs a tight ship in Tampa Bay. I feel certain he has prepared an excellent gameplan.

Jim Nox : New Orleans Rebels
When you consider the two rosters, a good bet is that the key for the offense is to contain Zachary Rector - DT. I do not think they will succeed and he will blow the game wide open. This will be a very up and down affair.

Darren Francis : New Orleans Rebels
You got to like this defense. They are 5th in sacks with 25. They are 4th in points allowed, averaging only 25.3. They are 5th in pass defense. They only give up 265 per game. They are 1st in interceptions with 16. They are 5th in the league in tackles for loss. They are 3rd in forced fumbles. They will put up a lot of points.

Team play. Playing as a unit. You cannot discount the difference it makes. I am thinking of a guy like Delbert Sanches - WR. Playing as a team is what gets them the win.

Mary Moore : San Francisco Mustangs
Of course the Mustangs win. Have you been living under a rock?

Jim Nox : San Francisco Mustangs
Head coach Robert Forsyth runs a tight ship in San Francisco. I feel certain he has prepared an excellent gameplan. They greatly outscore them here.

Darren Francis : San Francisco Mustangs
For this match up, I think that Mustangs got to love fielding an offense with Harold Mcgowan - T. He will be critical this week, and is likely to be dominant. I am looking forward to watching this showdown.

DE Wright absolutely dominated in the Cannons 20-5 game with the Washington Guardians. He finished with 6 Tck, 1 Sck, 1 FF, 2 FR.

Game of the Week: Atlanta at New Orleans Rebels

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : New Orleans Rebels
People tend to underestimate their offense. They are 1st in the league pass completion percentage. They are 4th in the league passing touchdowns with 21. They are 5th in the league passing yards per game. They average 251.3! They are maulers, 2nd in the league in pancakes. They are 5th in the league rushing touchdowns with 11. Really this could go either way, but you will never get me to admit it.

Mary Moore : New Orleans Rebels
In the context of this game, it seems a given that Zachary Rector - DT is a guy who will carry the game. I think he will do so this week as well. A tough choice. I think it will be a close game.

Jim Nox : Atlanta
For this match up, I cannot help but think that Troy Hutcheson - WR will be a key player to watch. He always delivers a highlight reel. This will be an action-packed affair.

Darren Francis : New Orleans Rebels
The Rebels are the real deal.

Douglas Silva calls out Legion C Wilkins after loss.

Douglas Silva pointed the finger at his fellow Legion players after they lost. 'We have to step up, all of us.' he said. 'But some guys are not stepping up and we end up losing. They need to get their head in the game', he continued. 'We lost and somebody is to blame. If you look at the game, you will see some players just are not delivering.' said the Legion G. Asked to clarify, Silva suggested John Wilkins - C needs to perform better, but underscored that there was plenty of blame to go around.

They are 3rd in run defense. Giving up only 84.1 yards per game. They are 5th in interceptions with 8. They are 3rd in the league in tackles for loss. They are 5th in the league pass average yards per rush. They are 1st in forced fumbles. A close win.

Jim Nox : Atlanta
We are doing a sweepstakes at the network, and I look forward to raking in the winnings for this bet. I am looking forward to watching this showdown.

Darren Francis : Atlanta
Looking at the two rosters, you would be a fool not to think The rely on Charles Ventura - RB on their offense. This is no reason to worry, he is great.

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Washington Guardians
Looking at the two rosters, it is likely that you have to mention this LB named Stevie Renfro. He is getting paid a lot. The reason he is getting paid a lot is that he is really good. Do I need to say more?

Mary Moore : Washington Guardians
You just have to look at their offense. They are 2nd 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 14. They are 2nd in the league points scored per game. They average 30.8!

Jim Nox : Washington Guardians
Do not throw statistics at me! The Guardians win because they are the better team.

Darren Francis : Washington Guardians
They are well coached. I am sure head coach Isreal Lundy has them prepared for this game. He is running an explosive defense.

Tampa Bay Cannons defense dominates!

The Cannons' defense is beating the brakes off people this season. In 8 games they’ve allowed only 2462 total yards and 177 points. Jonathan Posey - LB is the heart of the defense with 60 tackles on the year. Could the D be back in Tampa Bay?

Game of the Week: Los Angeles Legion at Washington Guardians

Our Expert Predictions:

This will be a tough game and that is where playing as a team comes in. They will need to rely on people such as Roy Padilla - QB and Johnathan Welker - WR who are great at coordinating and making sure everyone is doing the right thing on the field.

Mary Moore : Los Angeles Legion
I really think their offense will make the difference. They are 5th in the league pass completion percentage. They are 3rd in the league passing touchdowns with 16. They are 5th in the league in sacks allowed. They are maulers, 4th in the league in pancakes. They are 3rd in the league average yards per rush. They are 5th in the league rushing touchdowns with 7.

Mary Moore : Atlanta
For this match up, I think a good bet is that Sanford Drury - QB will be a key figure in this game. The offense relies on him.
