Miami at Las Vegas (-4) - Possibly the most exciting matchup this week pits the dynastic Las Vegas Rounders against TV's sweetheart Miami Talons.
There is a chance that DEs Anagnostis and Brock could cover for the thin secondary if they are able to break past two of the league's best offensive tackles. I'd say that those are the key matchups this week-- Brock and Anagnostis vs Shaw and Cloude.
Injuries are a part of the game, unfortunately, and for the moment it looks like MIA has the upper hand. QB Hughes' sprained knee could be in for a bad time if LVS wins in the trenches but it's far better than what the Rounders' secondary has to deal with. This is one of the better chances I've seen for a team to unseat the king and I think Miami has the ingredients to make it happen. The Talons clutch up against the defending champs: 33-27.
I don't think it will even be that close. As I stated earlier this season, it's not in the cards for us according to the FOF tells I saw earlier this season. My entire secondary got wiped out at the end of the season and that opens the door for Miami and my one-and-done prediction.
Brock and Anagnostis will need to do their thing, but it will be the Brock/Anagnostis vs Dunn/Besbeas/Farley matchup to keep an eye on. Shaw and Cloude can waste their talents on Breedlove and Lieberman. Brock's 4.57 speed and pass coverage skill may be on display at LB once again this week.
I don't see us advancing but we're pulling out all the stops to backfill the $46m we have in street clothes on the sideline this week.
