Game of the Week: North Florida Renegades at New York Defiant

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : North Florida Renegades
For this game, my intuition is that Renegades got to love fielding an offense with Caryn Becker - QB. He will be critical this week, and is likely to be dominant.

Mary Moore : North Florida Renegades
Looking at how the teams match up, you would be a fool not to think that Henry Lucas - DE will be a key figure in this game. Do not sleep on this guy's ability. Can't lose.

Jim Nox : New York Defiant
I find it hard to bet against coach Darren Everett. He always has them well prepared. Expect a great game.

Darren Francis : North Florida Renegades
This is a very good defense. They are 3rd in points allowed, averaging only 13.3. They are 4th in pass defense. They only give up 209.3 per game. They are 3rd in run defense. Giving up only 72 yards per game. They are 2nd in the league in tackles for loss. The referees will have their work cut out for them. This will be very competitive and intense.

Game of the Week: Montreal Royal at Colorado Crushers

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Colorado Crushers
This week, the Crushers will will need to come together as a team to win. Players like Tryggr Lang - FS and Rodolfo Paulson - SS who have great team playing skills and understand what everyone needs to to will be pivotal for this. There will be some very good football to watch here.

Mary Moore : Montreal Royal
I think having a leader like Sammy Myrick - LB is the kind of thing that will help the Royal win this game. This will be a great game to watch.

Jim Nox : Colorado Crushers
Do not sleep on this offense.

Darren Francis : Colorado Crushers
Looking at the two rosters, I suspect that the offense will struggle to counter Michael Burrows - CB. Watch out for him.

Coaching Carousel Predictions.

The offseason is upon us and that means teams are shaking up their coaching staffs. This means that we get to take our annual look at coordinators who could make the leap to become head coaches, and the teams who are likely to poach them.

The prime candidates identified by our experts are:
Laurence Conway - Offensive Coordinator - Austin Blues
Alexandra Brandt - Defensive Coordinator - Austin Blues
Tilda Wexler - Defensive Coordinator - Easton Bald Eagles
Reese Carrow - Offensive Coordinator - Easton Bald Eagles
Buck "Buckler" Simmons - Offensive Coordinator - Richmond Flames
Belinda Young - Defensive Coordinator - California Demons
Antonio Bananes - Offensive Coordinator - Colorado Crushers
Sierra Holden - Defensive Coordinator - Grand Rapids Dragons
Katherine Hines - Defensive Coordinator - Baltimore Ponies
Nicholas Reynard - Offensive Coordinator - Baltimore Ponies

To Adam Nelson - RB, the past is the past.

Adam Nelson is a great story, having worked his way out of a troubled youth. To many, Nelson is becoming a posterboy for the league's ability to help talented young men rehabilitate themselves through sports.

Ted Goercke - LB under criminal investigation!

It looks like the off field troubles of Ted Goercke have finally caught up with him. Local news reports that a criminal investigation has been launched looking into previous criminal misconduct of Goercke. The league has reiterated that standard policy is to await results from the criminal investigation before deciding on any punishment.

The Waves have yet to comment on the situation.
