Lancers have had a great second half of the season. They beat the team that is now ranked higher than them, and are coming off a momentum building win over the Guardians. The Lancers are not a team to take lightly, as is evident by how close the game was against the Oilers AT the Oilers. The Vipers are not a team to take lightly either though. They actually beat Uintah at home. Since the Vipers have the home field advantage, and the Lancers have only won 1 road game, which wasn't really much of a road game, like 20 minutes away, I think the Vipers take this one, and hope to get a lot of momentum, to get back up to Belgrade and win again.
Vipers 28 Lancers 14
Warriors @ Mustangs
MUSTANGS ARE THE MOST DOMINANT TEAM EVER!!!!!!!!!!! MUSTANGS WIN 100,000,000 - 0
Okay now that I got the bias out of my system, time for a real prediction. To Be honest, I know nothing about the Warriors except that they don't get along with the Vipers, and everyone says they have an awesome defense. So if that is true, then it will be a close defensive struggle of a game. The Mustangs also have a really strong defense. I think the main factor will be travel. Because both teams are going to rely on their defenses to win the game, travel is the one negative factor that is fighting against the Warriors. I think the Mustangs get in their groove a little earlier than the Warriors and take the close victory.
It seems obvious that both the home teams will win here. Records aside, I'm not sure if either the Lancers or the Warriors are in the same class as the Vipers and Mustangs. Maybe next week we can hope for some shake ups, but RD 1 in AA seems pretty easy to predict. Don't get me wrong I'd love to see some one get upset at home this week, but it would just about shock me if it happened.
After playing both the Lancers and the Vipers, I firmly believe that Idaho can pull of a W if they travel well. We rolled into Davis with 22 guys and pulled out the 20 - 19 come from behind win....... The Vipers are strong at home though, and had plenty of depth on the sideline when we were there, would love to be in SLC to see this one. Best of luck to everyone playing, may Heavenly Father keep all of ya safe in your travels and injury free during your battles. Look forward to the rematch with either the Lancers or Vipers on the 21st. Am gonna be sitting in Washington Grizzly stadium checking out the Blaze vs Stealth game since I am here........
