The match up everyone is looking forward to. #1 vs #2. Ski vs Surf. Denver vs. San Diego. This weeks lone match up, should be one of the best of the year. Both teams come into this game looking good. San Diego seems to be more in form due to their dismantling of Sacramento a week ago. However, don’t count Denver out just because of their close win 2 weeks ago against San Francisco. San Francisco is an improving team, who could be capable of challenging for the third spot in the league.

This game should be similar to the first game between these two. With Denver trying to play the field position game to keep the ball out of the hands of the San Diego backs. The two forward packs should once again be the featured portion of this match up and Denver has one of the best in this league. If San Diego can open this game up, watch out. Denver has some good backs, but San Diego has the best backfield in the league.
