AAA SCHEDULE WEEK 1 GAMES (SATURDAY APRIL 5) Stealth @ Gladiators
Stealth 35 Gladiators 10- Traveling to Montana is never easy on a team but the Stealth just have too many weapons. Rumor has it that Vincent isn't playing this week and the Stealth with have to ride the backs of Wissler and Thomas. Additionally, the Stealth will put up points not only offensively but defensively. Turnovers will kill Great Falls and surely the Stealth defense will cause a couple of those.
Stampede @ Loco Express
Stampede 28 Loco Express 3- After being out of the league for a year it will take the Stampede a solid quarter or so to get back into the swing of things. But there's value in veterans and Logan has plenty of those. This one could get ugly.
Sting @ Mudd Ducks
Sting 24 Mudd Ducks 10 The Sting are the better team here but the Mudd Ducks have made some offseason efforts to revamp their team. Rumor has it they picked up a quarterback out of the Utah Valley league named Flake. He'll be an improvement but it won't be enough. Mudd Ducks get beat here but show some potential.
Revolution @ Rebels
Rebels 28 Revolution 24 This is hands down the game of the week in my book. And in my opinion it's really going to come to down to the ability of Peterson to get rid of the ball quickly and avoid the pressure that comes relentlessly from the Rebels. If Peterson takes what the defense gives him and plays well I could easily see this game going the other way.
If someone wants to add insight into the Idaho games that'd be great. I've only been in the AAA a few years and haven't had much interaction with those squads.

I agree with the outcome of the games, scores might slightly be different but in the end are irrelevant in the W/L column. I do give the slight edge to the Rebels in the GOTW. An Opening home game in Dixie is primed for them. But do not sleep on my REV brothers, they will not lay down in this game and will bring it til the final whistle. As you stated, it could slide in favor of the REV at any moment.

Shock lose a tuff game vers alcohol at hoops party
Wow...more like chump...this was a waste of key strokes...what makes you think the stealth won't win without Vincent...last time I check, the stealth beat great falls 50+ to 0 with only 16 players and a the oldest QB...they traveled in two vans and more than half the team slept in the vans when it was snowing...
Pickem is not to be taken serious, we have already established that. "Don't feed the trolls"
NoFriendlyQuiet going to work towards that as well soon I predict. Already got the Stealth unborn digested.
Stealth @ Gladiators- I know it was two years ago, but yes, the Stealth took around 17 to GF and smacked the taste out of thier mouths (as did EVERY team that played them that year). This year will be no different and until proven otherwise, Great Falls Gladiators are irrelevant to the RMFL AAA division. Even if GF doubles Sam Thomas he will still go for 200+ and 3 TDs. Stealth will drive 9 hours and stroll out of there with a 49-6 win.
Stampede @ Express- THE EXPRESS ARE NOT WEEKEND WARRIORS! They are a minor league football team dammit! Long drive for what is still a new team, whether they were in the league before or not they have roster turnover and a LONG trip ahead of them. Travel is the biggest difference in this game because if it was in Logan my pick would just flip flop, Express win their first RMFL game 16-12.
Sting @ MuddDucks- Sting have seen a AAA team in their preseason game with the REV, now they get back to playing their AA level opponents and couldn't be happier. The Ducks have a lot of new faces and a new QB that told people from the Utah County 9 man league that he was leaving to play for a professional team. Well.... he is on the Ducks so he was almost right other than he was completely wrong. Ducks defense was solid up front with a TERRIBLE secondary, Sting offense is able to run with no sort of pass game, something has to give here. I just can't trust the Ducks to get it done without Rozy and Mason Dutton at the LB spots and the Sting will make enough plays to get the win. Sting win 13-7
*GOTW*
REV @ Rebels- Hands down the best game the league has to offer this week and it isn't even a debatable sunject. Historically CP17 has struggled in Utah's Dixie, I dont expect that to change. I heard a RUMOR that Etuati isn't going to be at this game, I know for a fact that Lang is not going to be there.... If that rumor is true that is two of Chuck's biggest targets gone and both are solid outlets that make plays after the catch. Defensively the REV will be missing Castillo at CB, not to detrimental to the team because I'm not sure Misi at QB scares anyone in the passing game. Well... Until he scrambles and takes off then it get scary. Rebels have a lot of new faces on both sides and will keep up their solid performance on and pff the field. If REV contain Tupe and the run game they will win. But..... I think Dixie escapes with the W due to some CP INTs and anough plays off the legs of Tupe and Tapuosi. Rebels win 28-24.
Good luck to all the teams playing this week and as always... stay healthy and have fun. Much love all!

Utah Shock
P.S.- The Utah Shock are UNDEFEATED against alcohol and parties. Thanks to all those around the league attending my wedding and all the love shown for me and my family, it is much appreciated.
