FELONS vs. ROYALE W/CHEESE

Felons are1-3 vs. Royale w/Cheese

The Felons have only beat Eddie Royale once, with that game a "must win" last season in week 10.  The Felons had to win to keep playoff hopes alive, and put together a 155-115.5 at home last season.    The game puts the Blue Ribbon League's all-time highest scoring coaches against each, and in a division game to boot.

FLUFFERNUTTER vs. MANTI

Fluff are 1-1 vs. Manti

These two teams have split there 2 games.  Manti took the matchup in Season 1 by 10 points, but the Fluff regrouped last season in a road victory by 15 over the Manti.  Both teams are looking to get back to the playoffs after missing them last season.

FREEMASONS vs. HURRICANES

Freemasons are 2-0 vs. Hurricanes

The Freemasons destroyed the Hurricanes in a home game last season...by 70 points (136-76).  In season 1, the Hurricanes lost by 20 points to the Masons.  Both of these teams have made the playoffs previously, and hope to make their second trip in year 3.

COUNSELOR vs. KITTENS

Counselor are 1-0 vs. Kittens

Coounselor took the win in Season 1 by 19 pts, in the only previous meeting of these two teams.  The Kittens are one of only 2 teams with a losing record versus The Counselor (the other being the Manti).  Both of these teams are 0-2 in Season 3, so someone HAS to get a victory...a rare feat for 2 of the losingest coaches in league history.

SOUP CAN vs. RIGGINS

Soup Can are 1-0 vs. Riggins

The Soup can need a win, and are happy to be playing a Riggins team that they beat in their only meeting.  The Soup Can won by 29 points in season 1.  Both of these squads made the playoffs last year.  Week 3 marks the 3rd week in a row for the Soup Can to play a 2009 playoff team (Masons, Cheese, Riggins), and it doesn't get much easier as the Soup play the other two playoff teams from 2009 in the next 2 weeks (Felons, Pretty Boys).  Yes, you read the correct.  The Soup Can open Season 3 playing all 5 of the other playoff teams from last season.

K-911s vs. PRETTY BOYS

K-911s are 0-3 vs. Pretty Boys

The Pretty Boys have owned the K-911s, winning all 3 games by an average of 42.6 points.  The closest the K-911s have come was in the last matchup, dropping a game on the road to the Pretty Boys by 28.  The Pretty Boys have never lost in week 3.
