RAGE OVER DRILLERS - Actually a close call, but I have to give it to O'boro here. (Pikeville's team has far too many community college players) STING OVER BLUE RACERS - Bonafide Game of the Week...but I'm givin' it to the champs. PATRIOTS OVER THUNDER - More points will be scored than fans in the stands that game.

This is what I typed on the CIFL fan forum:
Drillers @ Rage - This should be a good game. The Drillers in their UIFL years were always solid teams that flew COMPLETELY under the radar. Their defenses were usually OK (by UIFL standards), which indicates they could get involved in a few rather low-scoring CIFL games. Owensboro wasn't terribly impressive against an admittedly good semipro Nashville team, but they're at home. The Drillers haven't ever played at what amounts to an ice-rink sized facility (e.g. more claustrophobic), and they've never played a game using "indoor" rules (opposed to the UIFL's arena-style). This should give Owensboro the advantage enough to win a low-scoring game, 37-28.
Blue Racers @ Sting - An early potential title game to kick the season off; with it being only a 10-game slate, this is a big game for both teams. Saginaw has won three titles in their time playing indoor football, so they'll reload no matter what they might lose. McKenna mostly solves the Tommy Jones departure for the Sting. Marion has never won a title, but they've been pretty close of late, and have a very good defense. This should be a fun game, but Saginaw should win at home, even with the change at QB, 45-35.
Thunder @ Patriots - Port Huron is no threat to win the CIFL title, but they're an organized team whose players (a number of them, anyways) played on the same team last year. Detroit seems an unorganized squad, and experience especially trumps indoors...especially when the Patriots have a better roster. Detroit must keep this game reasonably close for ANYONE to think they'll win a game in 2013, but I don't see it. Patriots 58-27.

Owensboro's trouncing of the Drillers solidifies my feelings that Saginaw, Marion, Dayton, and Erie are the top 4 teams, then the Kentucky teams fill up the middle, and the bottom is occupied by PH, Det, and Kane.

The Rage have a shot to make the "big 4" a "big 5," but they'll be fighting with Marion and Dayton, not Erie and Saginaw.

Looks like 41 - 28 is the correct final score.
