Game of the Week: Philadelphia Liberty at Colorado Yeti

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Philadelphia Liberty
This is a very good offense. They are 3rd in the league pass completion percentage. They are maulers, 3rd in the league in pancakes. They are 3rd in the league average yards per rush. They are 2nd in the league rushing yards per game. They average 143.5! They are 2nd in the league points scored per game. They average 34.5! I expect some incredible plays in this game.

Mary Moore : Colorado Yeti
They will get another win this week.

Jim Nox : Philadelphia Liberty
For this game, my best guess is that Ryan Negs - QB drives defenses crazy. A double digit win.

Darren Francis : Colorado Yeti
For this match up, I would argue that NationalSimulation FootballLeague - CB is the guy to watch, this man is pivotal to the Yeti defense. A single digit win.

Winning pleases everyone.

Yeti fans are excited this week after their team beat the brakes off the Wraiths. Jeffrey Diaz said of his team, ‘We did what we were supposed to, and got what we came for.’

Adam Spencer calls out Secondline Head Coach Forbes after loss.

Adam Spencer was angry about the game against Grant Forbes. Moreover, he denied that the players were at fault. Adam Spencer - TE was clearly upset in the Secondline loss. 'We learned a lot.

I am not sure what Grant Forbes saw in his preparation, but he has to do a better job at Head Coach', the TE said.

They are 4th in the league rushing touchdowns with 6. They are 3rd in the league rushing yards per game. They average 131.3! They are 3rd in the league points scored per game. They average 33!

In this game, I predict that AJ Lucas - LB will shine for the Hawks defense.

Mary Moore : Baltimore Hawks
But it will be a close game.

Jim Nox : Chicago Butchers
It might be a high scoring game.

Darren Francis : Chicago Butchers
Head coach Richard Jensen does a great job getting them prepared every week. This week will be no different. He is has a really good understanding of what works on defense. But it will be much closer than many think..

Sailfish lost. Sailfish casts blame.

Harsh words after the Hawks - Sailfish game from Jackson Kingston (C). The Sailfish WR called out the Sailfish' players, suggesting some of his teammates were phoning it in. 'Man, I think a bunch of guys let us down. I could point the finger at many.' the 23 year old WR said.

Mary Moore : Honolulu Hahalua
Do not sleep on this offense. A double digit win.

Jim Nox : Honolulu Hahalua
The difference in this game will be their defense. They will rack up a lot of points.

Darren Francis : Austin Copperheads
For this game, certainly, you have to think that Zoe Watts - RB is the guy to watch, this man is pivotal to the Copperheads offense.

Howitzer optimistic despite Silverbacks loss.

Sam Howitzer was not pessimistic in an interview after the Silverbacks lost to the Hahalua. Sam Howitzer - QB was upbeat in his assessment after the Honolulu lost a close game to the Howitzer.

Game of the Week: Colorado Yeti at Sarasota Sailfish

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Colorado Yeti
There are so many factors to consider when making predictions. This one was easy though.

Mary Moore : Sarasota Sailfish
I do not think people realize how good this offense is.

Jim Nox : Sarasota Sailfish
When you think of the players that will be on the field, certainly Sailfish have got to love fielding Demon Jaxson - DE on their defense. This man will be critical this week, and will give the offense plenty of trouble. Just win baby.

Darren Francis : Colorado Yeti
In this game, I predict that Manhattan Project (C) - C is a guy who will determine the result of the game. He supersharges their offense.

QB I I (BAL) goes #1 overall!

NEW YORK -- The Baltimore Hawks drafted I I #1 overall in the 2047 draft. The 6' 1" QB fits the team's needs perfectly. Said Hawks general manager: "It's up to us to develop him and get good players around him."

"The great thing about the game of football is, it's a team game," I said on a conference call. "I'm just going to be one piece of the puzzle."

Moore and Nox Mock Draft

Pick 1: Baltimore Hawks
Larry Moore: Samuel Coleman - WR
His college coaches talk highly of his work ethic. He has good hands. He has more than enough speed to challenge defenders. Pretty clever. When the available talent fits what you need, there is reason to celebrate. They are getting a great talent who will serve them for many years.

Jim Nox: Samuel Coleman - WR
Due to his work ethic, this kid is very coachable. Coaches concur that his hands are more than adequate for the pro level. His speed compliments his game, and will be a nice asset to the offense. Good instincts. He fills a need for them. Great pick here.

Pick 2: Orange County Otters
Larry Moore: Harlan Sutton - G
This kid puts in the work. He is fundamentally a good kid. You rarely see him commit stupid penalties. This kid loves the weight room, and has developed nice strength for being this early in his career. Execution in the running game is something coaches have noticed about him. He blocks pretty well. He can hold his own in the passing game. Will improve once he finetunes his technique, but he is already pretty good. Blue-chip player. Exactly what they look for. Add a young talent to a roster thin at the position, a great fit.

Jim Nox: Harlan Sutton - G
Knows what it takes to achieve success at any level. He is driven by the love of the sport. Strong enough to play with the pros. This kid is already a pretty good blocker in the running game. He will only get better as he refines his technique. He can hold his own in the passing game. Will improve once he finetunes his technique, but he is already pretty good. Fill the need with a quality player. Best case scenario here.

Pick 3: New Orleans Secondline
Larry Moore: Jeremy Culbertson - SS
Due to his work ethic, this kid is very coachable. If you ask around, everyone will tell you, this kid is all about the team. Respected for his good behavior on the field. He will struggle to cover faster receivers, but that is not the role he will get with them. Pretty bright kid. Are there other guys worth picking here? Sure, but none of them fit this well with what they need, and he is a solid talent.

Jim Nox: Jeremy Culbertson - SS
Due to his work ethic, this kid is very coachable. I want this kid on my team. He understands his role on the field, and how it fits in with what everyone else is doing. This is the kind of kid you want to promote the game. Well behaved, loves the game, and respectful. He has enough speed that you can ask him to do a lot of different things. He is sharp, and that makes him very coachable. Fill a need, get a quality player, everyone wins! He will fit right in with the pros.

Pick 4: San Jose SaberCats
Larry Moore: Richard Stine - DE
This kid is not afraid to work hard. Liked by coaches and teammates. His strength is a good platform for him, surely a reason teams like him this high. Consistently takes down ball carrier when he gets to him. Plays with great insticts. Do not be afraid to draft a position of need here. This kid is well worthy of a pick this early. Perfect situation for him, and great fit for the team.

Jim Nox: Andrew Davis - DE
People watching his tape often do not notice his speed. It is not something that jumps out at you, but he is pretty fast. Pretty clever. Fits the bill, great quality pick, and fills a soft spot on the roster. They should have no qualms here, run to the podium and get your man.

Pick 5: Philadelphia Liberty
Larry Moore: Sid Burris - G
If you look at his tape again, you can see he reacts quickly on the field. The stars align for them to get him here. Just what they need. Blue-chip player with great upside. Hard to botch this pick.

Jim Nox: Oscar Humphrey - G
Respected for his good behavior on the field. Nice blocking skills on run plays. He will contribute to the running game. Coaches love how coachable he is. They will be happy to get him, they could use an upgrade at the position, and he certainly fits the bill. A franchise caliber player. Just what they have been looking for.

Pick 6: Yellowknife Wraiths
Larry Moore: Rick Sherman - WR
A real leader! The ultimate team player. Respected for his good behavior on the field. Is fast enough to command real attention from cornerbacks. Can change direction fluidly. They almost have to make this pick. You do not want to look back in five years and see this kid on another team knowing he could have been yours.

Jim Nox: Rick Sherman - WR
Teammates look to him for leadership, and he consistently delivers. He plays well with others. He understands there is a reason for each assignment on every play. He is driven by the love of the sport. Pretty good straight line speed. Can run the deeper routes in the pros. Elusive. can work over the middle. can work in the slot. Great balance. Fits the bill, great quality pick, and fills a soft spot on the roster. They should have no qualms here, run to the podium and get your man.

Pick 7: New York Silverbacks
Larry Moore: Delbert Parsons - C
Known among his teammates as a hard worker. Respected for his good behavior on the field. Makes smart decisions. Fans might not be on board with what can be framed as a need pick. But trust me once they see this kid play, they will be more than happy.

Jim Nox: Delbert Parsons - C
Known among his teammates as a hard worker. This is the kind of kid you want to promote the game. Well behaved, loves the game, and respectful. Plays with intelligence. They gotta be happy to get this guy. Such a talent and he fits their needs. I would imagine the war room is celebrating when they make this pick.

Pick 8: Berlin Fire Salamanders
Larry Moore: Jason Vieira - T
This guy is built like a tank. This is a guy who is already a pretty good blocker in the run game. Takes in instructions well. This pick will be a boon for the organization.

Jim Nox: Lonnie Bailey - RB
His speed is not the first thing you notice, but he has more than enough. Do not tackle this guy high, he will run right over you. He is alert and makes smart decisions to developments in the play. Hard to go wrong with this pick.

Pick 9: Arizona Outlaws
Larry Moore: Andrew Davis - DE
Nice speed for a Defensive End. Enough to keep contain and get sacks. Good understanding of the game, and what is required of each position. He fills a need for them. They will be happy to get him.

Jim Nox: Richard Stine - DE
Knows what it takes to achieve success at any level. The guy has gets along with everyone. The muscles on this kid allows him to shed blocks and keep contain. Consistently takes down ball carrier when he gets his hands on him. Smart player. Good understanding of how plays develop, and where to be. Blue-chip player. Exactly what they look for. Add a young talent to a roster thin at the position, a great fit.

Pick 10: Sarasota Sailfish
Larry Moore: Edward Grimes - SS
This is the kind of kid you want to promote the game. Well behaved, loves the game, and respectful. Do not fret. You need him, fans love him. Surefire pick.

Jim Nox: Eric Russ - DT
Here you have a kid who puts in the work to succeed. Well liked in the locker room. Sufficiently strong to bull rush. Not the strongest, but strong enough to stay on his feet against inside runs. No point in getting to the ball carrier if you cannot take him down. This kid tackles well. That is something teams are looking at. He fills a need for them. They will be happy to get him.
