Week 6
Sarasota Sailfish at Orange County Otters
- Another home victory for a California team here as Norfolk Seawolves legend Suleiman Ramza continues his stellar play. The Ultimus favorites get the win here, but Sarasota doesn't make it easy on them. A late fourth quarter comeback will be just enough for the furry mammals.

QB Suleiman RamzaArizona Outlaws at Honolulu Hahalua
- Honolulu has been inconsistent, but when they're firing on all cylinders they are dangerous. I think the Outlaws simply make one too many mistakes in this one. Honolulu rides their running game to a big victory to keep pace in the conference.

RB Keʻokeʻo Kāne-MaikaʻiNew Orleans Second Line at Austin Copperheads
- This will be some good, old-fashioned trench warfare between New Orleans and Austin in this Week 6 clash. I've been high on Zoe Watts all season, so why stop now? Between playing in Austin and the sneaky-good offense from the Copperheads, I think they get it done.

RB Zoe WattsColorado Yeti at Berlin Fire Salamanders
- Road game? Potentially overlooking an expansion team? Does this have the makings of a huge upset between Colorado and Berlin? NO! I'm all over the Yeti here as they cross the pond and get the job done against the upstart Fire Salamanders.

QB Wolfie McDummyBaltimore Hawks at Chicago Butchers
- This was almost my money pick as I think this is an awful matchup for Baltimore. The Hawks have to travel to the Windy City and the Butchers are out for blood. Call your bookies and put it all on Chicago here.
by 13Player of the Game:
QB George O'DonnellYellowknife Wraiths at Philadelphia Liberty
- I love the Liberty due to their strong Norfolk alumni network, but I think the Wraiths get the road victory here. Don't disown me, @Jimi64. Hanyadi will be the difference maker here as I just don't think Philly has any answer offensively to respond.

New York Silverbacks at San Jose Sabercats
- This is not a good matchup at all for the Silverbacks. They have to travel across the country to take on the defending world champs and it could get ugly early. Look for Jamar Lackson to have an enormous day. If he's on your fantasy team, go ahead an pencil in a big week from the San Jose tailback.
