Week 10 Preview

San Antonio at Orlando

These two teams have bounced right back in the playoffs with some great wins lately, whoever loses here will find it tough to make it though. Both teams are 4-5 and whoever wins will earn an important tiebreaker. Both teams are on a 2 game winning streak but Orlando are the favourites as they are at home, both teams have played some great football lately, the Riders look to be the better team on paper but will find it tough away.

Orlando by 3

Mexico at Birmingham

Another huge clash here, if Mexico win this then they can practically guarantee themselves the top seed in the AFC. However Birmingham are two games behind and will want to win this one at home in front of their fans . Both teams have great defenses and this should be a very special game, one of the games of the week for sure. We go with the Fire as they are at home but it should be very close.

Birmingham by 3

Ohio at New York

ANOTHER huge game in the AFC. Ohio have lost two straight games, with their upset win over Montreal the Knights stand a great chance of making the playoffs but need to win this important tiebreaker. If they do they move to 6-4 and a game clear of any wildcard team. New York are playing very well on offense at the moment, Ohio are stuttering behind John Navarre and need to bounce back.

New York by 3

Raleigh-Durham at Montreal

Yep you've guessed it, another huge AFC clash. Both these teams are 4-5 and whoever loses this will practically be out of the playoff race. Montreal have lost a record 4 straight games under GM David Harwood. Raleigh will probably welcome back HB Curtis Alexander back after injury but its always tough to win in Montreal but this year the Machine are just 2-2 at home. Should be a great clash, we give this to the home team.

Montreal by 3

Austria at Amsterdam

After two losses Austria have bounced back with two wins and are looking in control of their race to the playoffs, they would love to upset Amsterdam who are 9-0 and are looking to go to 10-0 for the first time in franchise history. Amsterdam are just running like clockwork at the moment and will want to heavily defeat Austria who upset them in the playoffs two years ago.

Amsterdam by 10

Sacramento at Frankfurt

The only EFC/AFC clash is between these two lowly teams, Frankfurt have a poor record but have played well this year and are ranked in the top 10 on offense and defense but are somehow 3-6. Look for Frankfurt to win big here and somehow have some late momentum for a late playoff push.

Frankfurt by 14

Rhein at Berlin

Tricky game for Rhein, they are on their way at the moment to the playoffs but Berlin who are 0-5 on the road are 2-2 at home and can cause upsets. Last week Berlin played poorly but at home with HB Avon Cobourne they stand a chance. Rhein need to win this to stay ahead of London in the playoff race, could be close.

Rhein by 3

London at Scotland

Londons defeat last week by Austria practically sealed their fate, they still have a chance for the playoffs but despite lots of changes on offense their passing game has been dire all year, newcomer Christopher Liess seemed to make it even worse last week. Scotland suffered a tough loss to Amsterdam but will want to seal the EFC West title and need a big win here to stay ahead of Austira. These games are often close but despite London badly needing the win we cant see past Scotland here.

Scotland by 7

Barcelona at Paris

This is the Dragons best chance at a win, they are 0-23 their last 23 games and need to get their first win badly ! Paris suffered a terrible defeat last week to Frankfurt and their season has been a nightmare. Paris want a win here badly and dont want to become the team to lose to Barcelona but this could be close, we say Barcelona get their first win.
