Raleigh-Durham at Ohio

Both teams had great wins in Week 1, whoever wins here will get a quick start to this season at 2-0.  Raleigh had an amazing game against Montreal last week with Aaron Rodgers completing 27 of 27 !  Ohio looked very strong defensively last week against Orlando but will find it harder this week, Ohio get the nod as theyre at home.

Ohio by 3

Scotland at Birmingham

Tough game for both teams, Birmingham lost a close game last week and now face a tough Claymores side.  Could be very evenly matched but just like the game above, Birmingham get the nod slightly as theyre at home.

Birmingham by 1

Sacramento at Mexico

The loss of Adamson hurts the team but Jake Delhomme was the starter last year and played well on the whole.  Both teams need to get a win here, Sacramento moving to 2-0 will really help their confidence, Mexico have to get an early win as too often they start off slowly.  Again a very close call.

Mexico by 3

Orlando at Montreal

You know Machine GM David Harwood will be angry as anything at his defense, expect some changes and for Montreal to take out their anger in their home opener against Orlando.  Orlando had a terrible Week 1, their offensive line opened up no holes for the rushing attack and Tony Romo was killed behind that line.  Assistant GM Josh Roberts takes over this week as Volker Sorge is away, he has a lot of work on his hands.

Montreal by 14

London at Frankfurt

Good first start for London as rookie QB Drew Henson played very well in a loss to Amsterdam.  Frankfurt looked very explosive and Rohan Davey didnt have to throw much as they scored early against Paris and held on.  Frankfurt get the nod as its their home opener where historically they are excellent.

Frankfurt by 7

Rhein at Amsterdam

Rhein badly need a win here or at 0-2 will find it difficult to bounce back.  Amsterdam have their season opener and already looked very good in Week 1 with a solid performance against London.  They should find it harder against Rhein but Amsterdam are on a mission this year.

Amsterdam by 7

San Antonio at Berlin

Hard to judge Berlin in Week 1, they were terrible but surely they arent that bad ?  They did face the FWL Bowl champions in their home opener however and should play much better here, doesnt get any easier though, now they face the FWL Bowl runners up.

San Antonion by 7

Barcelona at Paris

Barcelona were unlucky not to win in Week 1, being with the team a few days hurt HB Jamal Robertson who should bounce back this week.  Paris looked great offensively but still need some help on defense, a close game.

Paris by 3

New York at Austria

Great matchup on paper for the evening game.  Both teams are 1-0 and New York thought they should have faced Austria last year in the FWL Bowl.  Austria will be starting a new QB this week, possibly BJ Symons as FWL Bowl MVP Curt Anes was injured and will be out a few weeks.  New York could take advantage of this but still travel to Austria where the DarkKnights play so well

New York at Austria

Austria by 3

erhm....

we are talking about a backup-QB who has his first ever start against the projected AFC-winner? I am looking forward to the game BUT if ADK really has the skills to win this game we might be unstoppable.

But i DEFENITELY doubt both.....

Well that REALLY puts the pressure on!

It's untried QB and great GM against rookie GM and great QB, I wonder which has most influence over the result? Looking forward to the game but still learning so really don't know what to expect!

Mario in past seasons you have started your backup QB, even signed a FA QB who then immediately started and won for you so i dont think it would be a huge shock if you did win.

As we know home advantage is huge in the league, yes Symons is starting (he did very well for London) but theres still the rest of your team who are playing very well.
