Outlaws @ Liberty
The week starts off with a very intriguing matchup of two 3-1 teams. This is their first meeting of the season and should give us a very explosive showing. The two highest scoring teams in the league are squaring off in an attempt to seal 1st place in their respective conferences. Which offense will show up and compete, which defense will stiffen and hold? With the Liberty having a top 3 defense and the Outlaws having a bottom 3 the question may already be answered, but we still must play the game to find out.
Wraiths @ SaberCats
Another matchup of top 3-1 cross-divisional contenders, and another matchup of strong QB play. All world flex player Eric Kennedy looks to increase his stranglehold on the leagues reception crown. Could he break the record of 101 catches set by Paul Dimirio last season? It seems likely at this point. If the SaberCats stout front seven can successfully shut down Kennedy, the Wraiths still have Cook on the outside to threaten the game vertically.
The Sabercats are no slouches on the offensive side either, with the safest QB in the game Orosz under center, and two world breakers in Shane Weston and Mayran Jackson on the outside. Recent backfield convert Darren Smallwood has filled in admirably for the recently departed Jordan Yates with 5 touchdowns on the season.
It will be a clash of styles as the Wraiths play a wide open, explosive air raid attack, and the SaberCats play a more conservative, ball-control style of offense. Who will win? Tune in to find out.
Otters @ Hawks
It has been a disappointing start to the season for the Hawks to say the least. At 1-3 many fans are searching for answers while Hawks management is as calm as ever, vowing to find the root cause of the struggles. The offense hasn't been the issue in Hawk land, no, it is the absolutely abhorrent defense they trot out on to the field, only the Legion are worse. What once was a calling card of the Hawks, as recently as S3, has now become their Achilles heel. Answers will need to be found soon if they want their season to turn around.
Luckily, and unluckily, the Otters come into town. I say unluckily as no one wants to face Boss and the murderers row of receivers he has at his behest, however, they are also lucky in that the strength of the Hawks D are their two corners, and everyone knows that Boss' kryptonite is the pick six, so there's a chance here. The Hawks will really need that chance too as the Otters have the most impressive defense fielded this short NSFL season.
Boss or Delacour/Turner? Who will come out on top?
Yeti @ Legion
Our primetime matchup is finally here. Now this should be a very intriguing showdown of the only two winless teams left in the league. The Yeti have a surprisingly average defense to lean on, but a even worse than predicted offense slowing them down. The Yeti rely on ground and pound unlike any other team in the league but perhaps they should attempt to pass a little more often, 56 points on the season is not even close to good enough.
On the opposite side of the field and opposite side of the philosophical spectrum the Legion come in with a very competent offense, led by fan favorite Logan Noble. Their offense is just under Otters level, but their defense is absolutely horrendous. 169 points given up is far and away the worst mark in the league.
Which side will break first? Which side will break the most? Legion will probably not have enough time on the field to score a lot, but can the Yeti even move the ball on this defense? It's a close matchup and the only guarantee is that one of these two will get their first win of the season.
