Week 10 is behind us and with it the last day of the bye weeks. There are 4 undefeated teams left in the region, 1 manager used MOTY yesterday and these are the TOP 3 surprises.

1. Copenhagen Chargers vs North Sea Jarls : 33:30
Great OT win and this is what division games bring to us, yet again
2. Vancouver Corsairs vs Michigan Weasel Traders : 34:27
Great win by the Pirates to get an inch closer to that division title.
3. -

Ask him... that could be fun to know.

...and yet only one team will be laughing next week...see you soon...Vancouver.

Some big games coming up as we hit Mid-Season...

The AC North will see a titanic clash in the battle to be crowned the Division Winners. Although we are over half way through the season these two divisional rivals have yet to meet.

Hajimari are unbeaten so far this season and top AC North. En-Route to a 9-0 start they saw off The Mavericks in a great win, whilst getting expected victories over The High Towers and Northern Storm.

The Ravens have had a tougher schedule, also beating The Mavericks in a strong showing, but finding The Mystics in the way of a perfect season, losing 36-16 against the current favorites for The Sea Devil Title.

Their last 3 previous meetings have all come in the Playoffs, with The Ravens winning all 3. Time for some payback for Damion?

Prediction : It will be tough in Romania for Hajimari - who will lose this by 10.

Constanta Sailors will put their unbeaten 9-0 start on the line against AC West Leaders The Black Knights.

Both teams are very even on paper. The Sailors have brushed teams aside this season with apparent ease, coasting past Devon Warriors, Sheffield Wednesday, and North Sea Jarls. Meanwhile newcomers Black Knights have taken full control of the AC West, their only defeat a disappointing heavy loss against Devons Warriors.

The AC West is pretty much sewn up regardless of this weeks results. The Sailors hold a 2 win lead over rivals Devons Warriors, probably need this one more than The Knights.

They have only met once before, a Season 57 40-20 SuperCup Victory for Constanta.

Prediction - Its a Constanta double as both sides win this week. Sailors by 17.

The Overpowered Minnesota Silvers travel to Canada to take on the unbeaten Vancouver Corsairs. On paper this is a mis-match, and The Corsairs should run out comfortable winners. There is a BUT on its way though...

The Silvers currently sit 7-2 in the NC West, currently ABOVE recently Elite Weasel Traders. There have been wins over Asturian Dolphins, Roxbury Rascals and Downriver Seals along the way - putting themselves in a great position with 7 to play.

Theres another BUT incoming...

They have a horrific schedule to finish the season... They must play :

Vancouver Corsairs - TWICE
Michigan Weasal Traders - TWICE
The Mavericks
Copenhagan Chargers
Sheffield Wednesday

If we could have thoughts and Prayers sent to Overpowered it would be greatly appreciated.

Prediction : Chad will be Frozen in Canada - Corsairs by 17

Northern Storm find themselves firmly in the Playoff Hunt during their first Sea Devils Season. They will play the Minnesota Unicorns who need to find victory against The Storm if they are to maintain any hope of a Playoff push.

On paper it is again a very even tie, however The Storm have already shocked one team from the NC North, a 47-41 victory over the Baltic Dogs. With the Number 3 Pass Offence in the League they head into the game as slim favorites - a victory would improve them to 7-3, firmly entrenched in the Playoff battle.

The rest of the season for Storm looks tougher. They head to USA and the number 1 ranked Mystics after their meeting with Minnesota, before a UK Matchup against Sheffield Wednesday. They also have Constanta Ravens and The Mystics once again in their final 2 games of the season.

Prediction : Important game for both side, but Storm need this to have a hope of taking 1 of 2 highly sort after Playoff Spots... Storm by 10

North Sea Jarls have had a difficult season so far in the highly competitive NC East. Theyve dropped to 3rd in a Division they dominated last season. Its not about to get any easier as the face Devons Warriors, who in turn need a win to cement their place in the playoff picture. Theyve played twice before, with The Jarls winning 35-24 in a Season 57 SuperCup tie.

The Warriors have already lost against a NC East side this season when The Copenhagan Chargers dropped possibly the biggest shock of the season with a 28-27 victory.

I dont envisage Devon making the same mistake twice

Prediction : Warriors by 10

Finally Sheffield Wednesday go up against The Copenhagen Chargers in a huge NC East tie that could have far reaching implications on where the Division Title ends up.

The Chargers have had a great season so far - with fantastic wins over Devon Warriors and North Sea Jarls. Sheffield Wednesday won the last tie between these two, but the game was tight.

The Chargers need to play The North Sea Jarls again also in arguably an even more important tie, considering its sandwiched between ties against Michigan Weasel Traders, Constanta Sailors , Minnesota Silvers and Vancouver Corsairs.

This will be tight as will the entire NC East :

Prediction : Chargers win by 3

Great write-ups Butch
Yes, the playoff clasic from S52-S56 has now upgraded to division rivarly game. It should be fun to watch. At least we will have some cool games

I forgot to mention that we beat AndyMan's Aberthaw Dolphins (74 OVR Team) 50-24 in a supercup game while we were away.

That gives me hope that we can travel to Canada and come out as the Winter Warriors.

I do see they have a 4.5 star QB, which if I have my playbook set, I can beat.

Don't count us out yet! look at our rosters compared to theirs

Defo not counting you out but that is a hell of a schedule to finish the season with.

Probably the hardest of anyone in The Sea Devils.

Northern Storm also have a tough run as do Copenhagen Chargers.

Its gonna be some fight for the playoff places

Well, the good news is that our MediaCenter is at 92%, the bad news is that our Roxbury Rascals has become BOOT.
