Stampede (0-4) @ ANARCHY (3-1). The Anarchy are coming off a much needed bye week after beating the Idaho Mustangs at home. The game against the Mustangs really took a toll on the Anarchy. Several key players are out with injuries. The 2017 League MVP, Jarik May has not seen any real action since week 2. He has been out with an ankle injury. His replacement, Treyton Palmer is also out with an knee injury. Luckily, the Anarchy have found a really good replacement in Cutler Howell. He had 9 carries for 86 yards against the Mustangs. The Anarchy will also be without the services of All-Stars Kyle Scott, Jeb Harrison, Dakota Peterson due to injuries. The Anarchy need time to get healthy. The Stampede are now having fun. Even though the lost last week 61-0 in Idaho Falls the team sounded like they are enjoying the game. That is what this league is about. Building relationships and having fun. The Stampede need to just go out and compete. The wins will come down the road. (Anarchy 28- Stampede 6 )

​

Vipers(3-1) @ OUTLAWS (2-1)Vipers proved that they are the number team in the league last week. Even though the Cobras beat them week 1 the Vipers have continued to get better every week. The Cobras have seemed to go the opposite direction. Viper’s crew has the ability to put points on the board every week and IMO that is the difference between good teams and really good teams. Everybody can put together a solid defense but finding an offense that can put up lots of points is special. For the Outlaws this is a must win if they want a shot at tier 1 playoffs. But what it really is.. a chance to knock off the big boys. The Vipers will travel well, but the Outlaws can really turn some heads if they can get a W this week. The Herrera bros can move the ball offensively, so that gives them a chance. But do they a defense that can stop Stireman? “YOU NEED 2 GUYS ON HIM!” just FYI. I think the Outlaws fight early to keep it close but Vipers pull away late. (Vipers 35-12)

​

Monsters(1-3) @ VIGILANTES. (1-2) Monsters are having a better year statistically speaking. The played the Xtreme tough losing 24-52. Scoring 24 pts is a step in the right direction. (like I said points are hard to come by) . They are tough team. And I think they can win this week. Monsters have ran the ball with success with a variety of running backs and have had an inconsistent passing game. LB Jamar Galbreath is a league leader in tackles. The Monsters will need to travel well, run the ball and play solid defense. The Vigilantes are in free fall. They have gotten beat by 30+ at home the last two weeks. They have plenty of guys on the sideline but I think they are lacking unity. The merger of Great Falls and Helena didn’t go according to plan. I have also heard reports that Great Falls is trying to put together a team for next year. May be hard to get those guys to continue to play together. They ran the ball well against the Xtreme but couldn’t throw the ball very well. And defense continues to be a problem .RB Kevin Carter is still playing qb and QB JJ Dorsh was playing receiver. Not sure why. .. But the Vigilantes need to win out to win the conference, the Xtreme are playing good and the Vigilantes are not. I think the Monsters will split with the Vigilantes this season. But this week the Vigilantes get the win. Vigilantes 22 Monsters 13
Good Luck, Stay Healthy , travel safe.
