Ottawa Otters 17.9.111 defeated Houston Bombers 15.8.98
(Real: 1660 vs 1469)
Ottawa get themselves slightly back on track, while Houston keep digging themselves deeper into a Harley Reid-shaped hole - but they'll face stiff competition from fellow garbo team Anaheim for it.

Chicago Sharks 14.14.98 lost to Colorado Avalanche 16.11.107
(Real: 1476 vs 1607)
Another very poor loss for Chicago, who are in all sorts in spite of their great list and proven scoring ability. Colorado are still in the finals race, but will need to name a team one of these days.

New Brooklyn Hawks 18.12.120 defeated Anaheim Ducks 13.13.91
(Real: 1803 vs 1370)
The Hawks continue to gather steam (and percentage) as they push for a long-overdue finals birth, as Anaheim firm for another spoon.

Wisconsin Cockerels 17.12.114 lost to Las Vegas Sinners 20.13.133
(Real: 1714 vs 2001)
Wisconsin chose a great week to have off, because they always would've been up against it to challenge a ripper Vegas performance, without even having HGA to help. Definitely looking like every chance for these two to have a third GF in a row, but teams like Carolina and Quito will have their say in that.

San Francisco 16.11.107 lost to Quito Quetzals 20.9.129
(Real: 1606 vs 1938)
As with previous, safe to save the good efforts when you're in with a sniff - as Quito firm as a flag fancy.

Carolina Panthers 19.9.123 lost to Boston Terriers 20.13.133
(Real: 1838 vs 1992)
And there goes our other undefeated team! Carolina were solid, much better than Wisconsin, but were soundly beaten by a Boston side much improved from their early season woes with a trio of 150+ scores. Playing themselves into premiership contention?
