The Baboons cling to their narrow division lead with a nice revenge-win over the visiting Minotaurs. Still, only a few weeks to go in the season and this division is very much up for grabs.

Erik vs Matt

NPL Title Belt Match!

Matt just snagged the NPL Title Belt from Adam last week, and their first defense is against the formidable division rival in the Erik Eruption. But, as formidable as they may be, the Eruption are running into the hottest team in the NPL. Matt extends that winning streak to seven games and keeps the NPL Title Belt!

Samuel vs Vince

The Vapulaters are coming off a big win over LeScoot last week and look to keep the good times rolling. They host the Sackbuts, winners of four straight, and this one lived up to the billing. The division rivals traded blows all the way through overtime, and when the dust settled, Vince stood victorious.

Brent vs Jerry

Jerry, fresh off the confidence-boosting win over the Javelineers, carry their momentum into a huge match-up against their rival and divisional powerhouse, the Brent BB Cannons. Everything went right on offense, for both teams, and the defenses left the game considering career changes after this one combined for nearly 140 points!

Ricky vs Cari

If the Bous want to shock the NPL world, they’ll need to do better than their performance here. The Rock Lobsters completely shut down the Bous offense, allowing only a field goal. But staying true to their slapstick nature, Ricky gave up the ultra rare one point safety on a badly botched PAT snap.

Adam vs Brandon

The Micropolitans stole the Bomb’s NPL Title Belt and their thunder in Week 9, and the Braggadocios double them up here to add to their recent woes. That’s two L’s in a row for the defending champ, and Brandon moves to one game back of the division lead.

LeScoot vs Bette

The Blue Tits blew it last time they faced the LeScavengers, but they came into this game with a plan: replace all of their mouth guards with harmonicas. It was a dental disaster, but the cacophony of noise was enough to disorient the visiting team.

Rachel vs Kelly

With both teams deadlocked at 6-3 coming into this Week 10 match-up, the Wrecking Balls were looking motivated to take home an impressive road victory. The Zeros, victims of an elaborate prank, had been convinced that this was their bye week, so all of Rachel’s planning was for naught.

Ethan vs Miranda

One of these days, Miranda is actually going to play Ethan in a straight up match and show the Evil Entities how the Martians play football. For this season, though, that’s two free wins gifted to their division rival to bring their season series to a close.

Andrew vs Travis

A scheduling quirk for the Auspex Division has Andrew visiting Travis this week, then hosting Travis next week. This was a competitive game all through regulation, but the Androids absolutely demolished the hosts 37-0 in the bonus period!

The Juggernauts haven’t received the same media coverage as years past, and have quietly been one of the hottest teams in the NPL. This victory over the visiting Cannibals marks their fifth victory in the past six weeks, with their lone loss as an OT heartbreaker.
