WEEK 1 MATCHUPS

WEEK 1 MATCHUPS

Compton Burger Kings @ Carson City Bunnies

This will be a close battle between two rivals. On paper it appears the Bunnies would have the edge on offense with Peyton Manning, Michael Turner and Andre Johnson leading the way. On defense it appears the teams are closely matched up with the Burger Kings getting a slight edge. The X Factor will be in the swing positions for both teams. Felix Jones is coming off an injury from last year and will be sharing carries with Marion Barber who is still the starter. The Burger Kings need LenDale White to continue his 15 touchdown performance last year with his limited carries. Another question mark is the Burger Kings defensive line. This could come down to the wire giving the Bunnies the edge with home field advantage.

Bunnies win by 5


San Diego Heat @ Las Vegas Nuggets

Both teams have loaded up their rosters with new players and are ready to do battle in Las Vegas. Donovan McNabb and Larry Fitzgerald lead the way for the Las Vegas Nuggets offense, which appears to be evenly matched with the Heats offense. Kurt Warner and DeAngelo Williams lead the way for the Heat’s offense. Both teams have question marks at some key areas on offense. The Nuggets are depending on Willie Parker to return from injury and the Heat are depending on Hines Ward to handle the #1 Wide Receiver spot on an offense that isn’t known for passing. The team that gets the edge on defense will win the game.

Heat win by 2


Mount Savage Sasquatch @ Portland Predators

This game could also be a close matchup with the Maurice Jones Drews injury. If Jones-Drew bounces back strong than the Sasquatch will get the win. The Sasquatch also has a strong defense. The Portland Predators have done a nice job building an expansion franchise, but are no match for the Sasquatch. Aaron Rodgers is probably the most underrated QB in the league, however Drew Brees is the best. The X Factor will probably be Maurice Jones-Drew. If Maurice Jones-Drew cannot bounce back from his injury then the Predators could have a chance. The Sasquatch may have a slight edge on defense so the Predators need Jones-Drew to have a bad day.

Sasquatch win by 5


Jacksonville Meth Addicts @ Birmingham Baconators

Two new FFLA Franchise Owners will face off on opening day in Birmingham. The Baconators have some major concerns at Quarterback and Wide Receiver, but he’s got Adrian Peterson who is the best and most dependable running back in the league. He’s also got a solid Swing Position Running back with Marion Barber. The Meth Addicts have the senior citizen quarterback Brett Farve with Ronnie Brown and Stephen Jackson for his running backs. The Meth Addicts have a big advantage at wide receiver with Terrell Owens. The X Factor will be if the Meth Addicts defense can keep up with the Baconators defense which could be the best in the league. Also, Brett Favre could hurt the Meth Addicts with his tendency for throwing interceptions.

Baconators win by 4


Champaign Toast @ Boston Beavers

This will be a down to the wire game. The Beavers have a solid team on offense with Matt Forte who in my opinion could be the best running back in 2009. He arguable has the best wide receiver with Randy Moss. The Toast beat him in Quarterback and defense, but has a big hole at the running back and swing positions. The X Factor could be Clinton Portis at the swing position for the Beavers. The Beavers need Clinton Portis to even the playing field. If Clinton Portis has a bad day, the Toast defense will shut him down.

Toast win by 3
