Revised XFL predictions
By Andy Hanacek, Associate editor and XFL analyst
|
OK, so I warned you at the start of the season
that I would be changing these once I got a bead on who was good and who wasn’t. So
here it goes.East
1. Orlando Rage — How can anyone put these guys anywhere else in the standings?
2. Chicago Enforcers — If John Avery stays healthy and the ball starts bouncing
their way, I truly believe they’ll jump over Birmingham.
3. Birmingham Thunderbolts — The Bolts have James Bostic at running back, who has
shown flashes but hasn’t been consistent enough to carry the team.
4. New York/New Jersey Hitmen — Aside from Wally Richardson, this team really has
no promising weapons.
West
1. San Francisco Demons — Where did these guys come from? This team is in for a
dogfight with L.A. down to the wire.
2. Los Angeles Xtreme — Tommy Maddox is getting dangerously comfortable with
taking a pounding and throwing touchdowns in the process.
3. Las Vegas Outlaws — The defense has shown it is not infallible, and I have to
believe having a new quarterback every two weeks doesn’t help matters on offense.
4. Memphis Maniax — I guess having all those former first-round NFLers won’t
help after all.
Championship game: Orlando 34, Los Angeles 28.
