Malfatron Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) questions going into this week: Is Freiburg Venom that good or are the Poppers that bad? Orcas line got wrecked. Offensive Line: Ryan Ramczyk [1 GS]: 1 pancake, 0 sacks allowed, 2 stuffs allowed. Richie Incognito [1 GS]: 1 pancake, 0 sacks allowed, 4 stuffs allowed. Maurkice Pouncey [1 GS]: 1 pancake, 0 sacks allowed, 1 stuff allowed. Quinton Spain [1 GS]: 0 pancakes, 1 sack allowed, 2 stuffs allowed. Mitchell Schwartz [1 GS]: 1 pancake, 1 sack allowed, 2 stuffs allowed. unfortunately, we may not find out next week. The Venom play the Miami Sharks, statistically the 3rd worst team. The Venom are likely gonna be the top team in Malfs PR for another straight week. Similarly, the poppers play the Direwolves, the 4th ranked team. The rich will get richer this week and the poor will get poorer. but some of the other games should be closer. lets check it out Edited March 27, 2021 by Malfatron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malfatron Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) (correction from above. the sharks are actually the 3rd worst team statistically, not 2nd worst) #1 Freiburg Venom @ #18 Miami Sharks should be a squash match, but lets see whether that 11 stuff defensive performance keeps going #4 Reykjavík Direwolves @ #20 Antarctica Penguin Poppers Even more of a squash match. Big Ben is done. MALF LOCK OF THE WEEK #6 Little Rock Uni Royals @ #11 Scranton Papermakers Scranton stole a win that they got outperformed in. The are the only team with a winning record thats in the bottom half of the rankings. Big chance to prove themselves here against the formidable, but beatable Royals (who jumped out to a big lead last game but almost blew it) #8 Norway Knights @ #9 Anchorage Moose This game could go any way. A very early playoff implication type game. You gotta think that Rio and Direwolves are making it from the Red. The other 3 teams are going to hand them 6 wins. That leaves 5 pretty good teams to beat each other up in the Blue division. No room for error in the best division (top to bottom) in football. No doormats here. #12 Lancaster Fighting Amish @ #16 Hanoi Viet Kongs This is a very interesting game. Both teams have had issues. The Amish in settling for field goals, and the Kongs with turnovers. Baker vs Winston: The epic battle. really could go either way here, but the loser is 0-2 in the Red conference. Both teams should trade malf for Carr to be competitive this year. #19 Rocket City Trash Pandas @ #17 South Africa Woolly Mammoths The TNF game this week. what a trash game. nobody cares about this one so lets move on (nah, just kidding you guys are great ) #10 Indianapolis Predators @ #2 Egypt Starfalls played very well in a loss last week, and can mantain their spot in the top ten with a win over Rammys squad. The Preds need to take it to the next level though. A similar effort isnt going to cut it against one of the leading S21 chip contenders. #15 Pittsburgh Punishers @ #14 Chicago Fire A game against two similaly matched teams. I bet this ones gonna be close until the very end, and someone is gonna get their heart broken #5 Rio de Janeiro Pirates @ #7 Tacoma Thunder This is the game of the week for me. Mahomes vs Aaron Rodgers. Both teams have their eyes on there repsective divisions, and this game could factor into playoff tiebreakers. # 3 Richmond Flying Squirrels @ #13 Phoenix Rattlers An early tough schedule for the Rattlers. The Knights and now the Flying Squirrels, who has significantly transformed their team into a contender. Dont count the Rattlers out of this one. They are one of the better teams that lost week 1. But that defense.....woof. The Flying Squirrells could have a field day on them, and can Cousins keep up the pace?

Everyone has a shot to win. 4 top 10 teams, but none in the top 5. Yellow: 2.91 (1,2,10,19,20) Currently have the top 2 teams in the league and the worst 2. and then theres the enigmatic Predator team. Red: (-3.8) (4,5,12,16,17) A top heavy division with the D-Wolves and Pirates looking to battle Green: (-39.71) (3,11,13,15,18) Looking to be the Flying squirells division here. If he takes out the rattlers, this could be even more apparent. Edited March 27, 2021 by Malfatron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he takes out the rattlers, this could be even more apparent. Bad first week for the green division, but I still think it's a pretty strong group of teams. Scranton on paper looks loaded. Miami will be a threat with Russ. Don't count out Phoenix with a little RNG luck, although they are 4th most talented IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
