Games

9:00 am (0-1)Lunatics vs (0-1)LB Rams+1

These two teams last met back in Summer, where Lunatics came away with the 8-7 squeaker.Prior to that LBR won 27-0 last Winter and Lunatics won 31-0 in the prior Fall ’20. LB Rams won 13-12 in Summer Bowl ’20 etc., no strangers these two.

10:15 am (0-1)Dirty Birds vs (0-1)Show N Go+1

Both teams had a rough start in week 1, should be a much closer match-up for both teams here. Show N Go had some rust after not playing for a couple yrs. Dirty Birds are new to the JFFL.

11:30 am (1-0)Modesto Manics vs (1-0)Public Enemies+6

Modesto Maniacs had their biggest opening week win in all their seasons 20-6. Public Enemies (formerly Eagle Fang Mafia) had an impressive shutout win to open the season 12-0.This is a rematch from the Fall’s Division C Bowl in which Modesto Maniacs came away with the narrow 7-6 win. Prior to that they met twice in Summer where they split wins, so both are familiar with each other.

12:45 pm (1-0)Goon Squad vs (1-0)No Fly Zone+1

Both teams opened with impressive wins winning by a combined 62-0.These two met last in Spring where they split their 2 games with Goon Squad winning 6-0 in week 3 and No Fly Zone taking the Bowl Game 13-7.

2:00 pm (0-0-1)Sticky Bandits vs (0-1)Men Of Mayhem+1

No history here since Men of Mayhem are new to the JFFL.

3:15 pm (1-0)Jokers vs (0-0-1)Blue Ballers+9

Blue Ballers returns after a hiatus since last Spring. The veteran Jokers opened with a 26-8 win in their 27th year in this league.

 

UPSET OF THE WEEK

No point spreads in week 1 but the unexpected 62-0 combined wins by No Fly Zone & Goon Squad would be the closest to a surprise.

Crazy Game

Sticky Bandits and Blue Ballers battling to the first O.T. tie in quite a few years. Both teams scored in O.T. to preserve a tie and prevent a loss. In regular season, if neither team scores in O.T. then team to gain most yards in the O.T. is the winner.
