SAFL PREDICTIONS – Week 7 – Continued…..

Bandits vs Cobra Kai

The battle of the TITANS! OK that was mean….What we do know is that neither team has a win and both teams sorely need one. Cobra needs one to prove to themselves and to the league that they are the real deal and that putting the team together was the right move. The Bandits need it to prove that they are still relevant in the SAFL. The Commish has always done a good job for the last few years putting in competitive teams but this year has felt realllllllllly different. Has the commish in some way lost the will to live? Or is it a real rebuilding year for them? This game will tell a lot about where the Bandits are and where they are heading. We’ve seen glimpses of success the last few weeks but low turnout is starting to rear its ugly head towards the Bandits. Guys like Obaid, Nabeel and Frank have been keys but we need to see more consistency , same thing with Jason at the helm. We’ve seen some good defense played by Zobi but he still needs a little more discipline beforewe give him the OK. We hope to see them with a full squad and put up a memorable performance against Cobra who has been aching, clawing and digging for a win. Cobras’ biggest advantage is the fresh, innocent leadership of Fabio. We haven’t seen a new player that we actually liked in a longgggg time but Fabio fits the bill. Great leader who plays QB and carries the team on his back. Along with Anthony by his side these two are making waves in the league. We like the core group of this team, Fabio, Anthony, Kevin, Brian, and JP and we think that if they all show up on time they will be kicking their way to a win this week….

Final Word:

Like we said both teams need a win and the only way neither tam can take a loss is a tie. But we don’t see a tie this week we see No Mercy being applied on this one. Cobra is too well lead and too much pride to let this one slip away from them. Bandits we love you but we don’t see a win this week, not ready for one. Cobra is ready to take it to the next step….

Gators vs Savages

OK so here’s the real battle of the TITANS Game. Gators and Savages have been looking to play each other ever since week 1. Gators have been on a winning streak ever since losing a nail biter against the Browns in week 1. They are the one team in the Top 4 that have been getting better and better and that is due to adding the right people at the right time to the right spots. They picked up Sardar who had an immediate impact and made them that much better. The have Richie who has been quietly stacking up his numbers each week and honestly should be considered in the MVP race. They have Tommy who has become a little bit of an enforcer for the Gators. Ramy has done a phenomenal job of putting this team together piece by piece and it is a credit to him to see a team that was created just 1 season ago to be in the position that they are in today. Gators can pull it off but they need EVERYONE to show and show early. Savages are not a team you want to show up late against because they will make you pay early on. Speaking of Savages. This team is probably the surprise team of the year. They have definitely made the most improvements and greatest strides compared to other teams this year. We don’t think anyone expected them to be this good but hey WHY NOT YOU??? We always knew they had the potential but this year they really broke through on that. We like everything about them from QB play to even the fun moments when Irfan drops TDs! (We love yo, Irfan ;)) What we are saying is that they seem like they are having a blast every time they are on and even off the field. We think this attitude and behavior has been some of the realest reasons on why they are continuing to excel. The camaraderie is at an apex they play for each other. To win chips you have to be one unit and these guys are definitely feeling that aspect. Anwar has done an incredible job putting this team together and taking advantage of every single mistake another team makes. Wins are wins doesn’t matter how you get them. Right now savages are clicking on all cylinders, Hash, Joey, PJ, Asheesh, Lutalo are all All-Stars in our eyes and we expect them to continue to lead this team to victories….

Final Word:

As much as we like the Gators and everything that Ramy has done we can’t bet against an undefeated at this current juncture in time. Savages have proven that they can hang with the big boys with 2 signature wins against the Browns and AK. We can’t remember a team that has done that in one season beating both those heavyweights. There’s something to say about that. Doesn’t come easy, happens once in a blue moon. Gators are the only other Top 4 team they haven’t seen this year so it’s a hugggggeeeeee game for the Savages. If Savages win there’s a good shot that they will end up being #1 going into the playoffs. They want and need that. Is it their year????
