A huge game for us against Albany this week.

Sure, we're in the driving seat right now, but with both games remaining vs the Crows, if they sweep us, the division will be for them. And we have a tough stretch coming up ahead, with a tough schedule and still many away games (5 out of 7 remaining games)

We absolutely have to win tomorrow, so that we can afford to lose the game later in the season.

Huge week for San Antonio. We get healthy in time for the first of two matchups with Shreveport and this is the week of make or break for the Stingers!

Huge week also for Boston. We [ib8eb5cc]have[/ib8eb5cc] to beat Atlantic City or we're going to give our playoff hopes a really serious blow.

This is a make or break week for Tulsa, if we lose we fall to 6-4, and have to play incredible to win the division for the rest of the season. If we win, we move up to 7-3, and it will be easier to hold off our opponents...Hope my team can play clean, mistake free football.
