MARQUEE MATCHUP: Royale W/Cheese VS. Ochocinco's Roommates

Realignment happened over the offseason.  The new Columbia City Division was added, and no one was happier to move into this new division than the Eddie Royale W/Cheese.  The Cheese had tried unsuccessfully to win the Queen Anne Division both years of its existence.  Coach Cameron Robertson is the only coach to make the Playoffs in all 3 years of the leagues existence, but has yet to hang a Division Winner banner.

Ochocinco with French Futbol Player Daniel Gomez

Coach Dan Gomez of Ochocinco's Roommates takes over the reigns of the Artist Formerly Known as the Ballard Kittens.  Gomez coached last season in the Blue Ribbon Developmental League: The Michelob Ultra League.  Gomez coached the Chad Johnson's New Names to a record of 1-1, just missing out on the playoffs by 3 games.

These two coaches know each other well, and will both be hoping to steal the week 1 victory.  Losing this game will make it difficult to keep pace in the division with the defending champion Purple Hurricanes.  The Hurricanes start the 2011 season against The Counselor.

The Cheese/Roommates matchup is your classic Offense versus Defense clash.  The Cheese feature top PBR league QB Aaron Rodgers and also the WR tandem of Andre Johnson and Brandon Lloyd (the top WR in the PBR last year for the Hurricanes).  The Roommates counter with athletic defensive studs Jerod Mayo, Mario Williams, Eric Berry, and the return of Elvis Dumervil.

Blog prediction: This one is a tough one to call.  But, being both teams feature a player in their team name, we will make the call on Ochocinco vs. Eddie Royal.  Neither team employs their namesake, but Ochocinco is still a bigger threat than Eddie Royal.  Therefore, we pick The Roommates to win 85-19.  (Get it?  Like the numbers of each receiver!)
