Game of the Week: Nova Scotia Vikings at BCFC Bears

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Nova Scotia Vikings
They will win again this week.

Mary Moore : Nova Scotia Vikings
This week, the Vikings will will need to come together as a team to win. Players like Roberto Demers - SS and David Cushman - T who have great team playing skills and understand what everyone needs to to will be pivotal for this.

Jim Nox : BCFC Bears
This will be a tough game and that is where leaders such as William Greenfield - RB and Jeffery Christianson - DT will shine and help them get the win. This will really be a statement win.

Darren Francis : Nova Scotia Vikings
Look for their offense to dominate. They are 2nd in the league pass completion percentage. They are 3rd in the league passing touchdowns with 8. They are 3rd in the league passing yards per game. They average 273.6! They are 4th in the league average yards per rush. They are 3rd in the league rushing touchdowns with 9. They are 3rd in the league points scored per game. They average 28.6!

Big boys shows the way in Toronto.

The O-Line from North are smashing people with their line surge this year. They’ve given up only 9 sacks in 5 games while collecting 195 pancakes.

Criticism of Head Coach Billy Vandiver after North-RoughRiders game!

Christopher Odom pointed the finger at his coaches in analyzing the RoughRiders loss. 'We have to step up, all of us' he said, and continued: 'But they, the coaches, have to get us ready and have the right gameplan. Well, we were not ready and we had the wrong gameplan'. 'Sure, we lost, but we were playing well. I think this is a testament to our character and preparation' said the RoughRiders LB. He added: 'The North are a good team, but I we played our hearts out and kept grinding. We learned a lot from this game, and it will help us in the future'.

Game of the Week: BCFC Bears at Memphis Pharaohs

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Memphis Pharaohs
Surely, the Pharaohs win. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise.

Mary Moore : Memphis Pharaohs
Looking at the teams, most people agree that Ashley Ostrander - DE is bound to have an impact. The offense will have to gameplan for him if they want to stand even the slightest chance. They might even blow them out.

Jim Nox : BCFC Bears
I do not think you get very far against their defense. They are 1st in sacks with 14. They are 3rd in points allowed, averaging only 16.2. They are 1st in pass defense. They only give up 199.2 per game. They are 1st in interceptions with 3. They are 5th in the league in tackles for loss. They are 1st in the league pass average yards per rush. They are 1st in forced fumbles.

Darren Francis : Memphis Pharaohs
In this game, popular opinion is that the Pharaohs will need to rely on Raymond Cunningham - WR for their offense. This is no reason to worry, he is great. If they lose this one, I will never hear the end of it.

Adams report

The North' front office has announced that they have had inquiries from the league disciplinary committee regarding Ernest Adams - G. Ernest Adams - G is at it again, it seems. Clearly, after 13 seasons in the league, Ernest Adams - G simply cannot separate himself from his earlier lifestyle and friends. Whether this turns out to be a disciplinary issue or not, Adams needs to be on the straight and narrow if he wants to stay employed in this league.

Coach Showdown with Simon Sly (Season 2053 Week 5)

You know what time it is. It is time for your weekly coach comparison with Simon Sly. I will spare you the meandering and cut to the chase.

JAMES ANDREW, HEAD COACH, MEMPHIS PHARAOHS
The Pharaohs currently sit at 4-0.

James Andrew preaches flexibility on both offense and defense, focusing on what the situation demands. His attitude is relaxed, and he is good at making everyone around him feel comfortable and promotes a friendly and unceremonial atmosphere in the organisation.

Andrew outperforms Painter in assessing player ability.
Andrew is much more charismatic than Painter.
Andrew maintains significantly more discipline than Painter.
Andrew is not as rigid as Painter.
Andrew prepares for opponents way more than Painter.


JOHN PAINTER, HEAD COACH, NEW ORLEANS REAPERS
The Reapers currently sit at 1-3.

Painter is better suited to lead a team than Andrew.

Game of the Week: BCFC Bears at Toronto North

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Toronto North
It may even be a blow out.

Mary Moore : BCFC Bears

They are 2nd in run defense. Giving up only 57.7 yards per game. They are 4th in interceptions with 1. They are 5th in forced fumbles. I am really on the fence for this one, but I stand my prediction.

Darren Francis : BCFC Bears
For this game, you would be a fool not to see that Timothy Parrott - T is hard to gameplan for. Look for him to dominate.

Week 3: SS Ashley Broome (BCFC) wins Defensive Player of the Week

SS Ashley Broome of the BCFC Bears has earned the Defensive Player of the Week award. Broome finished with 6 Tck, 1 Sck, 1 FF.

The difference in this game will be their defense. It may even be a blow out.

Looking at the two rosters, I think that William Greenfield will be dominant here. The young RB is going to cause headaches for any defense. This week is no difference. This will be an action-packed affair.

Mary Moore : New Orleans Reapers

Moore and Nox Mock Draft

Pick 1: Houston RoughRiders
Larry Moore: Zachary Ratcliff - DT
He closes so fast once he gets penetration. Offenses better make sure to keep tabs on him. Well schooled in tackling. Good fundamentals. His college teammates all point to how smart he is.
