Game of the Week: Memphis Pharaohs at Nova Scotia Vikings

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Nova Scotia Vikings
When you think of the players that will be on the field, it seems obvious that Ruben Paz - CB has to potential to carry the Vikings defense. Can't lose.

Mary Moore : Memphis Pharaohs
The Pharaohs have really strong team play. You look at a player like Rick Mcwhorter - C and what he does for a team. He makes everyone around him better.

Jim Nox : Nova Scotia Vikings
This is a high powered offense. They are 4th in the league pass completion percentage. They are 4th in the league passing touchdowns with 19. They are 2nd in the league passing yards per game. They average 296.2! They are maulers, 2nd in the league in pancakes. They are 5th in the league rushing touchdowns with 9. They are 4th in the league points scored per game. They average 27.5! Lots of points scored.

Darren Francis : Nova Scotia Vikings
In the context of this game, it is likely that Steven Sousa - CB will shine for the Vikings defense. They rely on him, and he will deliver.

Top receiver trio?

The Reapers trio of Peter Magee - WR, Mark Smith - WR and Franklyn Yates - WR are currently the leading trio of offensive skill players catching the ball in the league, with 2679 receiving yards between the three.

Who is the best LB? Vikings' Michael Mcvay or RoughRiders' Christopher Odom?

'We see a lot of players thinking they are the best at their position', said the Vikings LB Michael Mcvay. He continued. 'I prefer to look at individual players, and ask myself: Am I better than him?'. Michael Mcvay brings up Christopher Odom every chance he gets, it seems. 'Is he faster than me? nah. Look at the tape, once the pads come on he slows down. Sure, he is good and he may even be as good as me some day.' The Vikings LB said. Certainly such words will set the internet forums on fire, and it will be interesting to see if Christopher Odom takes the bait and responds.

Week 11: RB Paul Hay (MEM) wins Offensive Player of the Week

The honor comes after Hay's 23 att, 131 yds, 3 TD performance against the Toronto North. Hay from UCLA was selected in round 2, 7 years ago.

Hay now has 945 Rushing Yards and 7 Touchdowns for the season.

Lucio Wilber defends the Houston RoughRiders.

Coaches will be happy to see the RoughRiders' locker room stand up for themselves. In particular, Lucio Wilber was vocal in response to the recent loss to Memphis Pharaohs. Lucio Wilber - LB laughed off the comments of Ricky Rodriguez - DE after the loss to Pharaohs. Said the LB: 'That guy will say anything to get attention, everyone just ignores him'.

Darren Francis : BCFC Bears
Team play. Playing as a unit. You cannot discount the difference it makes. I am thinking of a guy like Manuel Gibbs - RB. Playing as a team is what gets them the win. This will either be wildly entertaining or a dull grind. I see no middle between the two.

RoughRiders lost. RoughRiders casts blame.

Moore and Nox Mock Draft

Pick 1: Seattle Totems
Larry Moore: Michael Thompson - CB
With speed like his, he is set up to be one of the best at his position. He can do what they want. He will deliver results early. He fits a need. End of story.

Jim Nox: Michael Thompson - CB
Almost no one can outrun this young man. You can put him in man coverage against anyone. You need him, just get him already.

Pick 2: Houston RoughRiders
Larry Moore: Steven Clark - CB
Good closing speed. Can run with most players. Makes him very versatile. On tape you clearly see that he is a good tackler. Pretty clever. The stars align for them to get him here. Just what they need. Blue-chip player with great upside. Hard to botch this pick.

Jim Nox: Steven Clark - CB
He is faster than his tape shows. No need to worry about his speed. A great tackler. Consistent. He is a smart kid, and it shows when he plays. He fills a hole at the position. Blue-chip player. Will fit right in and start right away. Love it.

Pick 3: Windsor Gamblers
Larry Moore: Lee Rinaldi - TE
Knows what it takes to achieve success at any level. This is the kind of kid you want to promote the game. Well behaved, loves the game, and respectful. Here you have a guy, who really benefits the atmosphere in the building. Everyone wants to be around him. Just throw the ball in his direction, he will come down with it. Speed is the name of the game, even at Tight End. This guy will make plays! Fans, coaches, and teammates alike will be ecstatic to get him on the team. He fits what they need, he is such a great talent. Everything lines up.

Jim Nox: Lee Rinaldi - TE
This kid is not afraid to work hard. This is the kind of kid you want to promote the game. Well behaved, loves the game, and respectful. This is a kid who really contributes to the team spirit and the social cohesiveness on the team. Great hands already. That is really what drives his value up. He is faster than most Tight Ends, and even some wide receivers. Are there other guys worth picking here? Sure, but none of them fit this well with what they need, and he is a solid talent.

Pick 4: Toronto North
Larry Moore: Ray Thomas - C
Here you have a guy, who really benefits the atmosphere in the building. Everyone wants to be around him. This guy is built like a tank. Driving up his value is his ability to block on run plays. Teams need kids who can hold their own against fully grown men. His pass blocking skills is something teams like about him. People always say you should not prioritize needs over quality. That is not an issue here, they get to have their cake and eat it too.

Jim Nox: Ray Thomas - C
Known for helping out teammates, if they hit a rough patch, whether it is on the field or in their personal lives. This is a young man who will bench press a Defensive Tackle, and not a small one! Driving up his value is his ability to block on run plays. Teams need kids who can hold their own against fully grown men. Pass blocking against professional players makes for a difficult transition from college. But the tape indicates he will do well in that regard. Rock solid player is just what they need. A great fit here, both in terms of need and quality.

Pick 5: New Orleans Reapers
Larry Moore: Wilson Gagnon - QB
He has good throwing mechanics. The ball leaves his hand with good speed. Solid talent that fits their needs. Really that is all there is to it. Perfect situation. Take the money and run.

Jim Nox: Foster Alvarez - WR
He is fundamentally a good kid. You rarely see him commit stupid penalties. Liked by coaches and teammates. Fine catching ability, often comes down with the ball even when pressured. Is fast enough to command real attention from cornerbacks. Pretty bright kid. Fans might not be on board with what can be framed as a need pick. But trust me once they see this kid play, they will be more than happy.

Pick 6: BCFC Bears
Larry Moore: Frankie Stubbs - T
Rarely do a player this young bench pres this much. This kind of physical foundation given him an incredible ceiling. He pass blocks really well. Educated well. Shows good understanding of the game. Fans, coaches, and teammates alike will be ecstatic to get him on the team. He fits what they need, he is such a great talent. Everything lines up.

Jim Nox: Timothy Ralston - T
What you get with this kid, is a guy who understands that this is a team sport. This kid is already a pretty good blocker in the running game. He will only get better as he refines his technique. He shows good instincts of where to turn defenders when pass blocking. Consistently makes good decisions on the field. Blue-chip player. Exactly what they look for. Add a young talent to a roster thin at the position, a great fit.

Pick 7: Nova Scotia Vikings
Larry Moore: Vincent Fort - QB
Trusts his own accuracy, and is rarely disappointed. Has a cannon for an arm. Nothing to think about here. Pick up the kid, bring him into the building, put him om the field.

Jim Nox: Frankie Stubbs - T
He will have a legit shot at winning bets arm wrestling the veterans. The kind of strength this kid has earns a lot of respect in a locker room. He has shown in college he can hold his own in pass blocking. He keeps good leverage and will only get better once the coaches get their hands on him. Clever young man as wellWhen the available talent fits what you need, there is reason to celebrate. They are getting a great talent who will serve them for many years.

Pick 8: Memphis Pharaohs
Larry Moore: Timothy Ralston - T
Football is a team sport, and he knows it. Scouts love his understanding for opening running lanes in the running game. His pass blocking skills are definitely adding to his value. He will need to hold his own against fully grown men, and teams believe he can do that. Takes in instructions well. He will get a great chance to earn the starting job. He fits what they are looking for. He is a solid player. Cannot go wrong here.

Jim Nox: Armando Nichols - T
Raised to know the value of hard work. He is fundamentally a good kid. You rarely see him commit stupid penalties. Driving up his value is his ability to block on run plays. Teams need kids who can hold their own against fully grown men. His pass blocking skills is something teams like about him. He is alert and makes smart decisions to developments in the play. Are there other guys worth picking here? Sure, but none of them fit this well with what they need, and he is a solid talent.

Pick 9: Seattle Totems
Larry Moore: Foster Alvarez - WR
His good natured behavior, even toward opponents have earned him some criticism, but also an awful lot of respect. Here you have a guy, who really benefits the atmosphere in the building. Everyone wants to be around him. His college tape shows him catching the ball well. This kid will use his speed to create separation on most plays. Defenses will need to keep tabs on him. Reacts with good instincts. Solid talent that fits their needs. Really that is all there is to it. Perfect situation. Take the money and run.

Jim Nox: Robert Martinez - SS
Comes down from his safety position at blazing speed on blitzes. Runs well in coverage, even when required to run with faster receivers. A great tackler. Consistent. Fill a need, get a quality player, everyone wins! He will fit right in with the pros.

Pick 10: Houston RoughRiders
Larry Moore: Nicholas Kessler - DT
Has never been known for his speed. But he is pretty fast, and definitely fast enough to harass Quarterbacks up the middle. They need him now. Well yesterday actually. They will love him tomorrow. They will revere him by the end of his career.
