Game of the Week Toronto Thunder @ Ottawa Cumberland Number 1 vs Number 2 in an undefeated showdown with the number 1 overall seed in the Wettges and a first round bye at stake. Who could ask for more in a game of the week. Not only are these teams both undefeated they also historically play each other very tough. Both teams have solid defences with outstanding middle linebackers. The Thunder are led on D by MLB Hussein Hazime and the Panthers are led by MLB Ron Omara. The contrast will be on offence where Cumberland runs a CIS style spread offence and the Thunder a more traditional 2 RB attack with a TE in most formations. I think the difference in this match up is on special teams. The defences are so good that both teams are going to struggle to score. The Thunder have an edge in that they have explosive punt returners. This was the difference in their victory over Myers and it will be the difference in their victory this week. Major Newman is averaging over 20 yards a punt return. This is ridiculous! Last year the Thunder had doubters and this year they remain. Shhhh. Thunder win a close game and throw down the gauntlet that they are going for back to back titles Thunder 18 Cumberland 16 OFFENSE WEEK 8
