Week 12 Preview

New York at Orlando

Must win game for New York who have lost some tough games in overtime. They lost DeMario Brown last week, the same week DE Demoine Adams returned from his 7 week injury. Orlando made major changes last week, things cant get any worse for them after their 0-10 start, they lost again but played better football, Kliff Kingsbury needs to prove he can be the starter but the team did seem to miss Tony Romo who could have got them the win.

New York by 7

Birmingham at Ohio

The Fire have clawed their way back into the playoff race but its a must win game here against Ohio. The Glory lost a tough game to Montreal and will probably have to be content with the AFC East crown instead of the top seed. Birmingham dont play well away and Ohio despite the loss last week played well and are a good football team all round.

Ohio by 7

Amsterdam at Raleigh-Durham

Tough away game for Amsterdam who havent looked that good the last two weeks. Amsterdam did rebound to beat Paris but the Musketeers are 0-10. Raleigh had a great win last week against New York and their rushing game is on fire at the moment and WR Robert Baker is playing very well. Amsterdam need a win here to keep the pressure on London but it could come down to the final week of the season when the Admirals play London. Tough one to call, Raleigh to win but it'll be a close one.

Raleigh by 3

Sacramento at San Antonio

With San Antonio are 4-1 at home and Sacramento 1-3 on the road the Riders look to have the advantage. However they are banged up and down to their 3rd string HB who was a FA just last week. Sacramento have won 6 of their last 7 games making them one of the hottest teams in the league. After a 0-4 start the Surge really do believe they are on their way to the playoffs. This game could be tough though.

San Antonio by 3

Montreal at Mexico

Another tough AFC game for Montreal who appear to have one of the toughest schedules this season. Mexico have bounced back after a 0-4 streak to win their last two games and want a great game for their fans at home where they are 6-0. Can they complete an undefeated home record ? A win for Mexico puts them one game behind Montreal with the tiebreaker with 3 games left, could be interesting. Montreal look one of the top teams in the AFC but Mexico are 6-0 at home.

Mexico by 7

Frankfurt at Rhein

Rhein have played well in recent weeks, their young stars are giving their fans a lot of hope for the future. Frankfurt have lost some tough games but are in a tailspin and have lost 4 straight games, theyve only got one losing season in their history but if they win their final 3 games a 7-7 record would only be their second non-winning record ever. GM Marco Lambert knows changes have to be made so he'll be looking closely at these last 3 games before a major overhaul at the end of the year. Rhein could get a surprise win here.

Rhein by 3

Scotland at Berlin

This game might have looked very easy weeks ago but Berlin are on a roll with two straight wins and a win here gives them the last playoff spot with 2 weeks to play as they would be tied with Scotland and have the tiebreaker. Scotland the defending champs have had a tough season and this away game in Berlin could be tricky. Berlin are only 3-2 at home but with the home fans going crazy in this game the Thunder have a real chance to surprise everyone and move to 6-6 with a playoff spot looming.

Berlin by 3

Paris at London

Despite their first loss of the season the Monarchs could bounce back here against 0-11 Paris. London could virtually wrap up the EFC West crown if they win this game but Austria are still chasing. DE Mark Word has 0 tackles and 0 sacks in his last two games and has to rebound as he has disappeared. Paris faced 9-1 Amsterdam last week and now its 10-1 London this week, you have to feel sorry for them !

London by 14

Barcelona at Austria

Austria may have a problem, QB Curt Anes who was having a brilliant year leading the league in touchdowns could miss two games. Backup Matt Mauck looked poor last week but did lead a late win thanks to some London turnovers. Barcelona with a loss to Berlin are out of the playoff race but want to play spoiler. Could be tricky but Austria are 5-0 at home and should get another win here. A win virtually guarantees them a playoff spot.
