New Season, and has a lot changed? Well O-lineman have been allowed to switch and we’ve seen the first big free agency, so it’ll be curious to see what happens. please keep in mind, I missed a few weeks so this is picking up from like week 10 of last season
Power rankings indicate that if two teams face off with all things neutral, the higher team should win, does that happen? It’s why we play the game.
1. Arizona Outlaws Δ0
Not bold statement, the Outlaws are still the team to beat. Bold statement, they are worse than they were last season. They lost Lee and Carter and got Garden. I like Josh Garden, he’s one of the best receivers the NSFL has ever seen, but it’s a bit of a head scratcher too. They have Evans, Zheng and Chess, one of them is going to either cycle at TE or lose their job as starting WR. My guess is Chess. Either way, the Outlaws may be the favorites but the games may be a lot tougher for the defending champions to win this year.
2. Baltimore Hawks Δ+1
The Hawks may not have made any big splashes in Free Agency, but they’re the NSFC favorites to try and win the Ultimus for the third time in a row. Here’s what you need to know about the quiet moves the Hawks have been making: the consensus is that Kyubee cost them the Ultimus. I don’t buy it. However the combo of Kyubee-Farlane has become Blockensdale-Taylor. Look out world.
3. Orange County Otters Δ-1
The Otters have retained Mike Boss. Their defense has gotten better. Clegane and Winchester have gone from protecting the quarterback to attempting to kill the other teams’ quarterbacks. The offense has Burnsman only improving and they’re not a team to be counted out at all this year.
4. San Jose SaberCats Δ+4
The ASFC has become a three way race for the top. The team has traded for Jaylon Lee and Orosz while also maintaining their impressive wide receiver corps together. Jordan Yates has moved to running back and the committee of Diaz and Yates can be dangerous. The gang is back together and spirits are high in San Jose, this team could be a dark horse for the playoffs.
5. Philadelphia Liberty Δ0
The Liberty are in the perfect position. They are on an upswing, with new addition Kevin Cushing leading the linebackers will help bolster the defense, and Rove should add onto the final part of his season, he could be a great quarterback for the team. The problem is, aside from Cushing, the Liberty appear to be stagnant. The linemen didn’t seem to move to help bolster where the team is weakest.
6. Yellowknife Wraiths Δ-2
Rebuild has begun. The Wraiths decided they were tail spinning, and rightfully so, and decided to plan for the future. Here’s the thing, had they not traded away assets like Cushing, I think they could have been a contender, but removing key pieces of the already dreadful Yellowknife secondary means that wins are going to be hard to come by.
7. Las Vegas Legion Δ-1
Ethan Hunt was an upgrade from Berc and available, the Legion missed on the quarterback who is known to make plays happen. What’s going to be interesting to see is what the Legion defense does. The Fulton-Oakes-Carter acquisitions makes this team definitely look like the GM has given the once-dead-in-the-water-team a sense of direction and plan long term. Will it be enough? Hard to say.
8. Colorado Yet Δ-1
I still think the Yeti are the weakest link. The team will likely be higher than some of their compatriots when all is said and done, but right now the Colorado Yeti have a lot to prove this year. Mainly, that their only bright spots aren’t Wozy and Tweed.
Please send my buddy @Tech the first 1mil from this. I’ll take the rest.
