Bold prediction: "Edwards will rush for over 100 yards against Bravos"
Felix Pahl
The playoff race couldn’t be more intense right now. With the Bravos' loss to the Frankfurt Galaxy, three teams are now tied with seven wins each. The upcoming matchup between Madrid Bravos and Paris Musketeers is not only a chance for the Bravos to take a crucial step towards the playoffs with an eighth win, but also an opportunity for revenge after losing their first game against the Musketeers 13-29 earlier this season.
Nick Alfieri, host of the "ELF Live" show, is confident that Paris quarterback Zach Edwards will have another strong performance, just like in their first encounter. Alfieri believes that Edwards will be especially dangerous on the ground: "Edwards will rush for over 100 yards against the Bravos." He sees the Bravos' run defense as a weakness that the Musketeers can exploit for another victory. "Madrid’s run defense is not good, they are 14th in the league."
Edwards hard to Stop
Expert Matt Bressington emphasized how difficult it is for teams to stop Edwards' rushing ability: "People struggle with getting Zach down in the backfield anyway, even the best defensive lines in the league."
After their game against the Musketeers, the Bravos will face the Hamburg Sea Devils in the ELF’s first International Game. Meanwhile, the Musketeers will head to Frankfurt in Week 14 to take on the Galaxy, which also promises to be a high-stakes matchup.
