\nFilthy Gorgeous (7-2-0-1) at Sky Fighters (6-3-0-1)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 1:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous leads 2-1
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Two of the league’s\u00a0highest scoring teams face off\u00a0in this Weyersberg Conference matchup.\u00a0 After a mediocre 2-2 start to the season, Filthy Gorgeous has steamrolled the competition, going 5-0-0-1 in its last six games.\u00a0 The team’s offense has been on fire yet again this year, with the trio of Sunny Mehra (10), “Gentleman” James Pereira (9), and Suvin “The Guru” Malik (7)\u00a0combining for 26 of Filthy’s 39 goals.\u00a0 The Sky Fighters offense has also been potent, as the team has found the back of the net 36 times this season.\u00a0 However, unlike previous years, when the team relied heavily on Czech national Martin “Ocho Cinco” Cejka, the Fighters boast a\u00a0deeper and more balanced attack.\u00a0 Six different players on the team have scored at least four goals, but no one has scored more than six.\u00a0 With only two points separating these teams in the overall standings, both squads will be thinking about potential playoff seeding as we begin the home stretch of the season.
\nKeys To The Game:<\/strong>
\n1. Dan “D.O.” Owens has been rock solid in net for Filthy Gorgeous this season.\u00a0 He has allowed more than two goals just twice.\u00a0 However, he is yet to record a shutout.
\n2. Sky Fighters starting goalie James Stein\u00a0has listed himself as “out”\u00a0for this game with a bad case of scurvy.\u00a0 Backup Robert Kucera is expected to start in his place.\u00a0
\n3. To counteract the presence of the Sky Fighers’ teenage prodigy Sam Lassner, Filthy Gorgeous captain Monica Russo has enlisted the help of a third Pereira brother: twelve year old John “Scooter” Pereira.
\nEli\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Filthy Gorgeous.\u00a0 They’ve quietly moved into second place in the Rubens Division.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Filthy Gorgeous.\u00a0 Scooter’s speed and hard wrist shot should complement the abilities of his linemates Joe “Monster Mash” Essock and Liza Watts nicely.
\nWatchability: <\/strong>4 Workys.\u00a0 With the Sky Fighters sporting their blue jerseys as the home team, will we get to see\u00a0Filthy’s V-necks yet again?<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 1:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> First Meeting
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Although Poutine Machine goalie Minkus hasn’t been seen in some time, perhaps this game against his former team will inspire him to come out of the shadows and suit up once again.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> La Famiglia
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> La Famiglia.\u00a0 Minkus’ presence is doubtful, so\u00a0Poutine’s goaltending situation is up in the air yet again.
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 2.5 Workys<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 2:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Unicorns lead 5-0
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> The Mathematics have won three of their past four games, and put forth their best effort of the season last Sunday in a 6-2 win against Poutine Machine.\u00a0 Conversely, the Unicorns have struggled recently, with just one win in their past six games, a stretch where they have scored just 11 goals.
\nWatchability: <\/strong>3.5 Workys.\u00a0 With the exception of Week 1, all of the Unicorns’ games have been decided by one goal.<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 2:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> First Meeting
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>Cobra Kai enters the Slaughterhouse with a lot of trepidation this week, as the team has struggled all season while playing on the road.\u00a0 The Dojo has lost its last three away games, with the team’s\u00a0only\u00a0road win coming on opening day against La Famiglia.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Cobra Kai
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Cobra Kai.\u00a0 I contend that with home and away games assigned randomly, the team’s away record may<\/em> just be a statistical coincidence.
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 3 Workys<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Dark Rainbows lead 8-0
\nGame Notes: <\/strong>Both teams in this inter-conference matchup suffered tough losses last weekend.\u00a0 Mega Touch endured its worst defeat of the season, a 7-0 shellacking at the hands of the Butchers, while the Rainbows\u00a0nearly completed a comeback against Fresh Kills, but ultimately fell short 4-2.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Dark Rainbows. Now that they’ve finished celebrating their Fairy Tale Cup victory, they can get back to the business of winning games.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>Dark Rainbows
\nWatchability: <\/strong>2 Workys<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 3:00 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> First Meeting
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> <\/strong>The Tompkins Square Riots are unbeaten in their past four games (3-0-1) and have surged to a four point lead in the MacNeil Division.\u00a0 Last Sunday, after unveiling their new uniforms, the Riots exploded for a season-high seven goals against the Rehabs.\u00a0 The Riots look to continue their winning ways against LBS, Inc., which along with the Rehabs, has given up the most goals in the league.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Tompkins Square Riots.\u00a0 They may have started the season as underdogs, but a win here shouldn’t be considered an upset.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick: <\/strong>LBS, Inc.\u00a0 They’ve had a rough season, but they still have the\u00a0potential to play like\u00a0an elite team.
\nWatchability:<\/strong> 3.5 Workys<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 4:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Rehabs lead 3-2
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> These two Hackett Division rivals face off in a rematch of a thrilling Week 1 contest.\u00a0 In that game, the Rehabs took a 3-2 lead with three minutes remaining on a Tom Houston goal, only to see Garrett “Ax” Carrino of the Elves tie the score just two minutes later.\u00a0 In overtime, Lateef Nurmohamed’s second goal of the game gave the Rehabs the 4-3 victory.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Happy Little Elves…regardless of whether Rich Glanzer is in goal or not.
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Happy Little Elves
\nWatchability: <\/strong>4 Workys<\/p>\n
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 4:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> First Meeting
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Gut Rot has won three games in a row, including an overtime thriller last Sunday against the defending champion Sky Fighters.\u00a0 Disturbed by this trend, Denim Demons captain Adam “Legend Killer” Rubens has called in a secret weapon to bolster\u00a0his team’s chances for a victory.\u00a0 Former Demon Micael Holmstrom has returned from Sweden for this weekend only…of course,\u00a0since we just announced this, it isn’t really a secret anymore.
\nEli\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Denim Demons
\nDerek\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> Denim Demons.\u00a0 They were probably favored before Rubens dropped the news about Holmstrom.

\nFresh Kills (7-2-0-1) at Corlears Hookers (6-3)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins West, 5:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> Corlears Hookers lead 3-2
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> Since they are second in the league in points and in control of their division,\u00a0a less-savvy gambler might\u00a0think Fresh Kills is the easy pick here. But the (relatively) so-so goal differential means the kids in the urinal cake-blue jerseys might be a little overrated. The 90+ heat is a great equalizer in this league, and the Hookers bring 12 points of their own to the table. Attendance could be a big factor for the Hookers, but assuming they have enough bodies, they’ll get it done.
\nVegas Line:<\/strong> Fresh Kills by 2
\nJesse the Greek says:<\/strong> Hookers and take the points.

\nWhat The Puck (7-2) at Gouging Anklebiters (4-6)<\/strong>
\nLocation:<\/strong> Tompkins East, 5:30 PM
\nAll-Time Series:<\/strong> What The Puck leads 7-4
\nGame Notes:<\/strong> BTSH titles may be won in October, but now is the time of year when the true grinders get the tough wins. Sure enough, every Sunday, What The Puck is out there running around in the heat like they were real athletes or something. Maybe they’re taking to heart the weekly pap from Commissioner Adriano Bratta about drinking enough water or flossing your teeth, but whatever it is…it’s working. Third place in their own division (arguably the league’s toughest) but with the 4th best record overall, these guys come to play every week [Ed: except last week<\/em>]. The Anklebiters? Well, they’ve won 4 games, which might provide some consolation as they’re getting their pants chewed off this Sunday by the Orange.
\nVegas Line:<\/strong> WTP by 2.5
\nJesse the Greek says:<\/strong> Give the points. This one is all WTP
