Title: Week 3 Preview Post by: Paul-London on August 21, 2006, 05:25:41 AM Paris at Orlando
Exciting games for both teams this week, both teams were unlucky to lose but showed a lot of potential. Paris played very well but just couldnt close the game, Orlando had their starting HB injured but overall played much better. Should be a very close game, Paris can play very well but will be away. Orlando by 3 Ohio at Sacramento Important game for both teams, Jake Delhomme needs to shake off the rust and put in a good show. The Surge were great at home in Week 1 but poor away, lucky for them they are at home in this game. Ohio had a poor Week 2 after such a good start in Week 1, should be another close game with the home team getting the nod. Sacramento by 3 Raleigh-Durham at Mexico Are the Skyhawks for real ? They have beaten two good AFC teams but now travel away to Mexico who had one of the best wins in Week 2. Mexico seem strong at home but Raleigh look good all round, should be a very close game but we give Mexico a slight advantage because they are at home. Mexico by 1 Birmingham at Montreal Two playoff teams meet both at 1-1 and both desperate for the win, Montreal pulled off a late win at home against Orlando and have to play better against the Fire. Birmingham struggled to run the ball last week and have to get some yards on the ground to win here. Montreal by 3 New York at San Antonio Tough start for the year for NY, they played the FWL Bowl champs last week and were thrashed and now travel away to San Antonio the FWL Bowl runners up. NY played very poorly last week and have to play better against a tough Riders squad. San Antonio by 7 Austria at Rhein Rhein have talent but havent shown much of it this season, Austria have started the season very strongly and were brilliant last week at home thrashing NY. Rhein will play better as they are at home but so far Austria seem unstoppable. Austria by 10 Frankfurt at Berlin Berlin have to change their offense, they are playing terribly and the rushing attack is non-existant and Nate Hybl is a sitting duck. Frankfurt should come away with an easy win here as Berlins fans are crying for changes to their team, defensively they are good but offensively they are terrible. Frankfurt by 14 Amsterdam at Barcelona Tricky game for the Admirals, Barcelona had an exciting win last week and played very well offensively, the Admirals defense should limit the Draogns offense but there is always a surprise every week. Amsterdam by 7 London at Scotland London have had a tough start this season, 0-2 but with two close losses to playoff teams. They are much improved but travel away to hated rivals Scotland who at 2-0 have started well and should be even better at home in front of a sellout crowd. London shocked Scotland away last year and often in the rivalry this seems to happen. Scotland by 7 Title: Re: Week 3 Preview Post by: Mario ADK on August 25, 2006, 06:36:36 AM Here are my forcasts:
