Hot Take Friday: New Conference Kings and 50 touchdowns

Devan Burrell will score his sixth return TD of the season 

Devan Burrell has been a menace on special teams this season. The Special Teams Player of the Year frontrunner has five return touchdowns to his name so far and he is looking to add a sixth against the Munich Ravens. Munich had their fair share of problems on special teams against Willie Patterson last week and Burrell might be able to take advantage of that as well.

Raiders beat the Surge to take the lead in the Central Conference

Saturday’s game against the Stuttgart Surge will be a do-or-die situation for the Raiders. With a win by four or more points, the Austrians would take command in the Central Conference dethroning the Surge. On the flipside, a loss to the conference rival would most likely mean elimination for the 2022 semi-finalists. I believe that Kevin Herron’s team will be able to surprise many fans and will beat the Surge thanks to a strong performance by quarterback Joe Dolincheck. 

Jadrian Clark will reach the 50 passing touchdown threshold this week

Jadrian Clark has been nothing short of unstoppable this season. Entering Week 13, the Rhein Fire quarterback has 45 passing touchdowns to his name already and will be looking to make it 50. While the Helvetic Guards defense is arguably one of the best in the league, their offense has let them down time and time again, leading to them being out on the field for most of the game and not getting any rest. This exhaustion combined with a thin depth chart will lead to plenty of late-game scores for Clark and Rhein Fire, making him the first-ever QB to reach the 50 TD threshold.
