The Xtreme are coming off a win vs the Diggers, who have had a pretty good year this year. They are hoping to use that momentum to take them all the way to Great Falls this week. I just don't see them getting a ton of guys out, on a long road trip to play a game with a team they've lost to twice already.
The Gladiators have beat the Xtreme twice this year already, fairly handily. I don't think they will struggle too much this week to get to the 'ship next week.
Xtreme 10 - 26 Gladiators (average scores from their previous two games)
Now on to the **GOTW**
Anarchy @ Cobras
The Anarchy are a tough, physical team, that is looking to take the momentum they've built all season to carry them to the SLC area, and beat an undefeated Cobras team. The big question is: will they travel? I think they will. They might not have all their guys there, but the Anarchy are pretty good about bringing the right players to the games. I mean they had a MUCH longer drive during the season to Great Falls, and lost by a point in the last seconds to the #1 team in the league... We'll see, but I think the Anarchy are hungry for their first championship!
The Cobras have had a great season. Going undefeated is no easy task, even if you only played the bottom 4 teams in the league plus the Stampede (#7). I'm worried that the Cobras are really in for their first competitive game all season, and might not know how to handle it. Are they really as good as their record shows? Are they head and shoulders above everyone else along with the Gladiators? OR are they a middle-of-the-pack team that just got a super easy schedule? Well, this week will tell us.
Is it bad that I want to go for the upset???
Anarchy 21 - 20 Cobras
See y'all at Weber State next week!!

The Gladiators have a good team as well as does the Xtreme. The major difference between them is penalties. The Gladiators don't seem to commit many, but the Xtreme is quite the opposite. If the Xtreme can play a game without penalties, or just a slight few, they stand a good chance of a win. It's extremely difficult to beat an opposing team when you're helping them out with penalty yardage. Free 1st downs lead to TDs.
