Jeremy Piper : Windsor Gamblers

They are 4th in the league average yards per rush. They are 4th in the league rushing touchdowns with 13. They are 3rd in the league rushing yards per game. They average 154.1!

They’ve given up only 30 sacks in 13 games while collecting 503 pancakes.Christopher Allen taunts the Totems after Pharaohs victory.Christopher Allen did not hold back when asked about the Pharaohs after their game. Christopher Allen - WR known for brutal honesty, said after Memphis beat Seattle that the Totems's did not seem prepared at all, and that he was frankly embarrased on their behalf. Them be fighting words to many a Totems fan, let alone the players.

Darren Francis : Toronto North
I love what they are doing in Toronto coaching-wise. Head coach Jacob Snell is a major reason they will win this game. He is doing some really smart things on offense. It might be a high scoring game.
Reapers racking up yards!The offense of the Reapers is stomping a mudhole in everybody this year, posting 3901 total yards and 311 points thus far in 9 games. Quarterback Bill Sears - QB and receiver Nelson Turner - WR have tag-teamed to the tune of 924 yards this season, while Running Back Vincent Lewis - RB has run for 513.

American Conference US: Memphis Pharaohs with 11 votes (Runner up: New Orleans Reapers with 7 votes)Game of the Week: New Orleans Reapers at Memphis PharaohsOur Expert Predictions:
Jeremy Piper : Memphis Pharaohs
I see them winning this week, and it will be good for them to break their losing streak.
Mary Moore : New Orleans Reapers
I love what they are doing in New Orleans coaching-wise. Head coach John Painter is a major reason they will win this game. He makes great offensive adjustments. He is has a really good understanding of what works on defense. He is really good at analyzing and preparing for opponents.
Jim Nox : Memphis Pharaohs
Do not throw statistics at me! The Pharaohs win because they are the better team. It might be a high scoring game.
Darren Francis : New Orleans Reapers
This may be where we see their true colors.

Larry Moore: Ulysses Rupp - CB
He is faster than his tape shows. No need to worry about his speed. Consistently makes good decisions on the field. This guy is available. This guy fills a need. They have to take him. It makes so much sense.
Jim Nox: Ulysses Rupp - CB
Not a speedster per se, but enough to play man. He is faster than he is given credit for. If you look at his tape again, you can see he reacts quickly on the field. Plug a hole in the roster with a great player. That is really what they need to do. This pick does it.
Pick 2: Toronto North
Larry Moore: Marvin Moore - LB
Known among his teammates as a bit of a goofball, but never in a bad way. The kind that keeps spirits high even when a season goes south. Coaches like his technique when tackling. Coaches like his strength. I do too. It will benefit him greatly on the field. Quickly discerns the field, and where to go to to make a play. A player that fits their needs. The promise of a future star. This will be great for the franchise.
Jim Nox: Marvin Moore - LB
Known for helping out teammates, if they hit a rough patch, whether it is on the field or in their personal lives. Wraps up the ballcarrier on tackles. Strong enough to flatten smaller blockers. And strong enough to not be flattened by the bigger ones. He was one of the smarter kids in college. He can do what they want. He will deliver results early. He fits a need. End of story.
Pick 3: Nova Scotia Vikings
Larry Moore: Kenneth White - WR
Every team would benefit from his leadership. Will hold onto the ball if he gets his hands on it. If you miss the tackle, you will not catch this 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.
Jim Nox: Kenneth White - WR
The kind of leadership he shows makes coaches salivate. His college tape shows him catching the ball well. Big plays is what you get with this kid. That speed will make for incredible highlights. This guy is available. This guy fills a need. They have to take him. It makes so much sense.
Pick 4: Houston RoughRiders
Larry Moore: Dennis Gaines - CB

Great balance. Runs good routes, and that is really something coaches are looking for in kids. He addresses a need for them.
Jim Nox: Marvin Waugh - WR
His good natured behavior, even toward opponents have earned him some criticism, but also an awful lot of respect. He has good hands. You better not put a linebacker on this guy. Or a safety, for that matter. He is faster than his tape shows. Great balance. Runs good routes, and that is really something coaches are looking for in kids. Rock solid player is just what they need. A great fit here, both in terms of need and quality.
Pick 6: BCFC Bears
Larry Moore: Steve Markley - WR
This kid breeds synergy, teams play better when he is on the field. Catches the ball well, even while moving. He has more than enough speed to challenge defenders. Reacts instinctively to developments on the field. 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.
Jim Nox: Steve Markley - WR
'Team player', this is the correct term for him. He makes everyone around him better. Will occasionally impress you by coming down with throws others would not catch. He has more than enough speed to challenge defenders. Reacts instinctively to developments on the field. Do not be afraid to draft a position of need here. This kid is well worthy of a pick this early. Perfect situation for him, and great fit for the team.
Pick 7: Windsor Gamblers
Larry Moore: Anthony Payne - LB
Here you have a kid who puts in the work to succeed. Will never become a speed rush specialist, but has sufficient speed to become a prototype Defensive End. Knowledgeable of the game. Might not be what fans want, but there is a reason people are getting paid to make these decisions. This is a rock solid pick, and he fits what they are looking for. Fans will come around quickly once they see him play.
Jim Nox: Joseph Medlin - LB
Knows what it takes to achieve success at any level. Respected for his good behavior on the field. This is a kid who really contributes to the team spirit and the social cohesiveness on the team.

Pick 8: Memphis Pharaohs
Larry Moore: Booker Merritt - T
Known among his teammates as a hard worker. He is fundamentally a good kid. You rarely see him commit stupid penalties. This is a kid who really contributes to the team spirit and the social cohesiveness on the team. Do not underestimate the strength this kid brings to the table. Well schooled in the game, and it shows on the field. I do not think there is a team that would not love to have him on their roster. Solid talent here. Just make the pick.
Jim Nox: James Kelly - CB
Raised to know the value of hard work. Sportsmanship, love of the sport and respect, is what you get with him. This is a kid who really contributes to the team spirit and the social cohesiveness on the team. No need to overthink this, get the best guy available.

Here is a kid who no one doubts will put in the work. He is fundamentally a good kid. You rarely see him commit stupid penalties. The guy has gets along with everyone. Definitely good strength for a Defensive End. Will shed blocks and occasionally bull rush smaller opponents. He is going to get so many sacks, just from his speed alone. Elite speed coming of the edge is what you are paying for with this young man. They need playmakers at this position. This is what they are getting here. Solid pick.
Jim Nox: Anthony Payne - LB
Due to his work ethic, this kid is very coachable. Not exactly a speed rusher, but has plenty of speed for the position. If you watch the tape again, you can see he plays with nice instincts. With this kid, this is a need pick they will not regret.
Pick 10: Toronto North
Larry Moore: Michael Medley - SS
A leader on the field and in the locker room. Liked by coaches and teammates. They need playmakers at this position. This is what they are getting here. Solid pick.
