Retro Previews
9am Hunters vs Interceptors
Hunters are 2-0 after getting an epic last minute win to beat the Botz last week. They are steady on defense and methodical on offense. They want to play with high IQ. The Interceptors lost taking a big risk going for 2 and the win instead of trying to tie the game and go into OT with the reigning champs Imaan. They are super talented as they showed by barely falling to a great team while not having their starting qb in Faizan available. Adam knows how to put a team together (maybe too well) We think they have what it takes to give the Hunters their first Retro loss in a close one.

9am Niners vs Botz
A classic battle that always provides a fun game. The Botz have lost two one score games while Moody and his team made their debut last getting BTA from ZQ and the Phantoms. They did not seem to have their full team there so we will see the impact that has here and who shows up. The Botz always play this one close and we think that stays the same and their season of heartbreak continues.
Niners 28 Botz 21
10am Warriors vs MPS
This will be a fun one where longtime friends Farooq and Ricky square off. Warriors are 2-0 both in close games yet the offense doesn’t seem quite as crisp as it was a year ago. Their defense is improved and that has helped to get them to this start. MPS in their one game played so far looked great on offense putting up points but struggled on defense. This one may be a battle of attrition depending how many players show up for each team. Ezra to us had the edge over Rick at qb and while MPS has depth with guys like Arjun and Evin we don’t see any of those guys stopping Greg.
Warriors 33 MPS 20
10am Phantoms vs Mean Machine
Phantoms laid the smack down last week using their speed to their advantage to take down the Niners. Mean Machine meanwhile after a promising week one got brought down back to reality with a tough loss. Mean machine has some athletes who might be able to give the Phantoms a problem but ZQs weapons in Nico and Samad are gonna be too much for Rahat and Jay to overcome.
Phantoms 27 Mean Machine 14
11am Imaan vs Mamas Boys
Mamas boys started out awesome with a resounding win over the Mean Machine boys. They are full of athletes trying to convert from basketball to football, so far so good. Safwan made all the throws he had to win the game. Imaan is a different animal altogether though. The defending champs will use the lack of football experience against them and your chemistry they have built to run away with this one.
Imaan 38 Mamas Boys 21
11am Ballers vs Pluto
The who’s gonna show up game. The Hanif boys have had quite the tardiness issue and Shak is like the Loch Ness monster, there are reports of him every now and again but you can never pin him down. If they show up Plutos offense is great and will be tough to hold down. The defense of the Ballers was missing week one and we don’t know if it will improve. If all the players are there Pluto is tough to stop this could be a fun shootout.
