Going into Week 4 action, something's gotta give. While the Untouchables, Big Dogs and Golden Beavers remain undefeated, at the other end of the spectrum are the Jokers, Bandits, Bruzers and Team Green who are winless. However, three match-ups this weekend should change the status of three of those teams:
Untouchables (4-0) vs Big Dogs (3-0)
The Untouchables come into this game averaging 50 pts a game while giving up a paltry 6 points a game to sit a top the standings. But they have been anything but Untouchable against the three time defending champion Big Dogs. The Untouchables have never beaten the Big Dogs and know that they need to overcome that roadblock to their championship aspirations. Statistics don't matter one iota - until you beat the Big Dogs you have no shot at being top dog.
Bandits (0-3) vs Jokers (0-4)
To say both teams have not played up to their potential is an understatement, but both teams have been plagued by short benches so far this year. The Bandits have hung in against both the Beavers and Agents, losing by 5 and 4 points respectfully. The Jokers are still trying to find their rhythm on offence and are eagerly awaiting the return of Jeff Verstraten off the disabled list. One of these teams will get a much needed win and some momentum going into second half of season.
Bruzers (0-3) vs Team Green (0-3)
Again - the theme for both these teams struggles has been a lack of bodies, which means players playing both ways and that means trouble in the second half of games. Bruzers will have to buckle down on defense to keep the younger Team Green at bay and hopefully both will have some subs to make for a competitive game that will see one team get their first win of the season.
