Game of the Week: Denver Mountaineers at Kansas City Cowboys

Our Expert Predictions:

Jeremy Piper : Kansas City Cowboys
I really like their defense. They are 2nd in points allowed, averaging only 4.3. They are 3rd in pass defense. They only give up 97.3 per game. They are 2nd in run defense. Giving up only 61.3 yards per game.

Mary Moore : Denver Mountaineers
For this game, the scouts tell me that George Van Beek - CB will show why he is considered among the better CB's in the league. He will have a great day and be critical in this game. Boy, oh boy am I looking forward to this.

Jim Nox : Kansas City Cowboys
Looking at the teams, you would be a fool not to think Doug Williams - DT will be dominant here. The young DT is going to destroy the offense. Really this could go either way, but you will never get me to admit it.

Darren Francis : Kansas City Cowboys
I think having a team players like Moe Cabral - G is the kind of thing that will help the Cowboys win this game.

Franks sees the bright side of Americans loss.

Coaching Carousel Predictions.

The offseason is upon us and that means teams are shaking up their coaching staffs. This means that we get to take our annual look at coordinators who could make the leap to become head coaches, and the teams who are likely to poach them.

The prime candidates identified by our experts are:
Marion Parker - Offensive Coordinator - Houston Drillers
Scott Johnson - Defensive Coordinator - New York Titans
Mario Mercer - Offensive Coordinator - Kansas City Cowboys
Tim Petit - Defensive Coordinator - Los Angeles Tigers
Reuben Jordan - Defensive Coordinator - Buffalo Red Jackets
Scott Jones - Offensive Coordinator - Cleveland Finches
William Rinehart - Offensive Coordinator - Chicago Wildcats
Richard Hillman - Offensive Coordinator - Dallas Stallions

As always, we are prone to wild speculations, so we asked our in-house experts to do a little matchmaking between candidates and teams. Here is what they came up with:

Mary Moore:
Reuben Jordan leaves the Red Jackets to become the head coach for the Los Angeles Tigers.

Darren Francis:
I think the Tigers lose Tim Petit and I see him heading to San Diego Admirals.

Jim Nox:
The Wildcats cannot hold on to William Rinehart. I would like to see him coach the Los Angeles Tigers.

Jeremy Piper:
Mario Mercer is certainly on the move. That means Cowboys will need a new coordinator. As for where Mercer ends up? Well, I think Los Angeles Tigers is a good bet.
