Montreal at Orlando

What an opener for both teams, Montreal were superb but now travel on the road.  Great first week win for Orlando and they want to keep up momentum, had a quiet day rushing the ball apart from their scrambling QB, Kingsbury in the past has been hot/cold , can he continue his fine form ?

Paris at Birmingham

Tough loss for the Fire in Week 1 but they were away, here they're at home where they are traditionally very good.  Paris had a great first game at home but now need to show theyre a true contender and play well on the road.

Sacramento at Mexico

Disappointing week 1 game by the Surge, they had more yardage than London but couldnt put the finishing touches on drives.  Mexico had a close win last week away in San Antonio and want a big win here at home.

Ohio at Raleigh-Durham

Cant believe one of these teams will be 0-2 !  Ohio were shell shocked last week by Orlando, same for Raleigh who were crushed by the Machine.  Both teams are very good but Raleigh have the advantage as theyre at home.

Barcelona at Amsterdam

Former Admirals legend van der Berg should get a great reception, fans arent too happy at the moment, 7-7 last year and 0-1 this year already. Need a good win here but the Dragons caused a huge upset last week and want to do the same here.  QB Joe Hamilton faces his former team also.

Frankfurt at Rhein

Should be a great german derby, Rhein had a heartbreaking loss last week, Frankfurt pulled out one of their best late wins ever.  Rhein get the advantage as theyre at home but it should be a great one.

San Antonio at Berlin

Berlin were lucky to win last week, as champions they didnt look impressive.  San Antonio had a disappointing first week and now have a huge game on the road in Europe.

London at Scotland

This old rivalry continues, both teams squeezed out close wins and are 1-0.  Scotland had a tough win in the mud last week but should be favourites here at home.

New York at Austria

Austria should have won in Week 1 but Pochman got the nerves and missed.  New York have a talented team but will face a tough game on the road.

Orlando shocked the bookmakers last week (largely because of all the Glory defensive players who fell down on Kingsbury's improbable TD scramble) but it's good to see that my "two-TD underdogs" prediction is being sustained by the software, which calls for Montreal 39, Orlando 25.

Surprised at that preview score (Same for the Raleigh game), normally that software has the home team as the winner or in a close loss at home 99% of the time.  Still fun to see the preview.htm file but the score predictions are often quite wrong
