Week 6 Preview: Better Late Than Never!

Cincinnati (5-2) vs. Anglia (4-3)

This is the only matchup this week that pits the top two teams in a division against each other. Cincinnati hopes that Kenny Watson gets most of the Bengals carries. The Dark Knights need a positive contribution from Earnest Graham from here on out.

Chicago (5-2) vs. Halifax (3-4)

Halifax's offense, featuring Tom Brady, Adrian Peterson, and Larry Fitzgerald, should again be a high-scoring force. Chicago sends a none-too-scary RB tandem of Jason Wright and Lendale White into battle, though Wright has a good matchup.

Austin (4-3) vs. California (2-5)

Austin rides in high after a sweep in Week 5 against two very good teams but is decimated by the bye. If Joe Jurevicius can't play, the Predators will be forced to start Jesse Chatman. California's Drew Brees has to break out sooner or later.

Fairfax (4-3) vs. Lower Saxony (3-4)

This should be an exciting one. Fairfax's Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook are back and face an easy Jets defense. Lower Saxony's chances might rest on the health of Rudi Johnson and/or a big game from the Patriot defense.

New Mexico (4-3) vs. Carson City (1-6)

Losing six of the first seven has caused the Bandits to make some wholesale changes to the team. The Carson City offense features Kyle Eckel, Kenneth Darby, Ben Obomanu, Chris Henry, and Ted Ginn Jr. Think someone's playing for 2008? Or 2011?

Boston (4-3) vs. Glasgow (3-4)

Boston's Peyton Manning is on a bye, leaving him vulnerable. Kellen Clemens might get some action against Philly so he should be the starter for the Inferno. The Inferno will be down a WR too, leaving Glasgow as the favorite this week.

Bertrand (3-4) vs. Greenville (2-5)

The only Week 6 game featuring two teams with losing records, this one could actually be one of the high-scoring contests this week. Both defenses should pile up points, but Bertrand's Carson Palmer gives the team a big edge.

Washington (6-1) vs. Utica (3-4)

Washington should get several big games this week from Matt Hasselbeck, Bobby Engram, Chad Johnson and, of course LaDanian Tomlinson. We know Utica's Tony Romo can score, but the rest of the Devils might have a problem keeping up with the league's best team.
