Ohio at Birmingham

Disappointing game against Mexico but the Aztecs are unbeaten. Ohio lost a bad game to Raleigh late on and now face a tough Fire side at home. Birmingham s hould get this win and Ohio have to find ways to bounce back.

Birmingham by 7

Montreal at New York

Montreal are fading fast with 3 straight defeats and now face a big tiebreaker against New York which could be important in the playoffs. New York are an explosive side on offense and could give the Machine some problems. Danny Wuerffel has to roll back the years and come away with a huge win here, the Machine have to get back on track.

New York by 3

Raleigh-Durham at Mexico

The Skyhawks missed Curtis Alexander this week and he may miss this important game. Mexico are 8-0 and Raleigh have claws back to 4-4 but now face their toughest challenge yet.

Mexico by 7

Orlando at Sacramento

Orlando have got right back in the playoff race lately and need to continue winning, Sacramento play well at home as shown by last weeks surprise win over Rhein. Can they do it two weeks in a row ? Thunder HB Dee Brown has been on fire lately and is a huge reason why Orlando are winning.

Orlando by 7

Berlin at San Antonio

Another team back in the playoff race are the Riders who would move to 4-5 with a win here and have some good tiebreakers in their division (two wins over Montreal). Berlin have played well recently with two straight wins but the Riders have looked good recently and should get a win here.

San Antonio by 3

Barcelona at Rhein

Just when it seemed Barcelona might get their first win they stunk it up against Austria. Rhein also had a poor game on the road in Sacramento but need to bounce back with a win here to keep their playoff dreams alive.

Rhein by 10

Paris at Frankfurt

Two teams with disappointing years, its shocking that Frankfurt are 2-6 but they have lost many close games. Paris just cant get their offense on track and QB Brad Banks isnt really the answer. Frankfurt to get an easy win as they are at home and to bounce back.

Frankfurt by 10

Austria at London

This classic rivalry is a huge game for both sides. London need a win badly to keep up in the playoff race and face several tough games away in the next few weeks . Austria could stop Londons playoff hopes with a big win here but havent played well on the road this year. Should be a great one though.

London by 3

Amsterdam at Scotland

Amsterdam are 8-0 but face a huge challenge from 7-1 Scotland. The Admirals have been methodical this year and have won many close games, Scotland have looked good with a 6 game winning streak but who will lose here ? Amsterdam are undefeated but we give this one to Scotland as they are at home and a win here would pole vault them into the top seed in the EFC
