TRIVIA BYTES SUPER SEVEN - Week 8
TB Sports Staff leaving tomorrow morning for a vacation ... apologies for the abbreviated preview ... but something is better than nothing.
FILLING IN THE BLANKS
:arrow: #7 - Newark (4-3) at Columbia (2-4)
:arrow: #6 - Oakland (5-2) at Vancouver (2-5)
Games important to the favorites, but are lackluster otherwise.
---------------------------------------------------------------
STILL ALIVE & KICKING, BUT FOR HOW LONG
:arrow: #5 - California (3-3) at Anchorage (4-2) . California, three in a row and stoking the fire ... Anchorage, on the other hand, seems to be losing steam on the field, most significantly due to injuries.
:arrow: #4 - Iowa City (3-3) at Portland (6-0) . Iowa City rode the wave vs. Anchorage last week ... but is there a potential wipeout vs. Portland this week?
----------------------------------------------------------------
THE TALES OF TWO CITIES (Two great matchups)
:arrow: #3 - Tulsa (5-2) at Lawrence (5-2) . We wish we had more time to write about this game and the two that follow. All teams are very good teams and most llikely will see themselves in the playoff picture. In this game, both teams lead their divisions and both can ill afford to lose ground in their respective divisions. Ever hear the saying " this is where the rubber meets the road" ? Well watch this game and you will know what it means.
:arrow: #2- Hartford (6-1) at Houston (7-0) .This game has all the credentials to be the headliner of the week, but yes there is a game a tad better. But this game provides a lot of star power. Houston, coming off an impressive win over Norfolk and ending the Vipers winning streak has branded the Renegades as the team to watch. Hartford, has other ideas and is anxious to earn a much deserved respect. Don't be fooled, they have the fire power to trip up any team, including the viper slayers.
-------------------------------------------------------
THE GAME OF THE WEEK
:!: #1 - Madison (4-2) at Pittsburgh (5-1) . A divisional matchup of humongous proportions. This NC NORTH has a three headed monster - Lansing and these two teams. So, every game in this division is vitally important and head-to-head games double up the bet.
Pittsburgh excels on the defensive side of the ball and and has struggled offensively. Madison has been the exact opposite as they sport a potent offense but posess a very suspect defense. It is hard to predict which of these units will prevail. There are all kind of permutations including Pitt's O potentially looking like world beaters against the porous Madison defense or Madison's offense becoming the straw that eventually breaks the Pitt defense. You have to watch to find out.
