2005 Arena Season Week 3 Review, Week 4 Preview

Week 4 Preview

Game of the Week:

Philadelphia at New Orleans

There was a temptation to select the Austin at Grand Rapids game if only to see which team would win. But I selected two teams that were expansion teams last year. New Orleans tied for the best record last year while Philly had some growing pains. This game will be a test of where the two franchises are in their sophomore seasons. Both are 2-1 entering the game.

Other Games:

Orlando at Dallas

Orlando seeks to extend its unbeaten record. Dallas hopes to avenge a lackluster effort against Columbus. Orlando should go 4-0 on the road.

Chicago at Columbus

Chicago plays its second straight road game (and three of its first four on the road). Columbus almost surprised Dallas in Dallas. Can Columbus put together an effort at home to get in the win column?

Nashville at New York

New York seeks to get back on track after losing to Las Vegas. Nashville looking to establish respect.

Austin at Grand Rapids

Someone has to win this game. I think. I'll have to see if any games have ended in a tie.

San Jose at Los Angeles

When one looked at the schedule before the season, one would have thought the game would feature a leader of the Western Division. Who would have thought that LA would be leading the division? Can the Avengers establish themselves at home against the S'Cats? San Jose can ill afford to lose this game.

Georgia at Las Vegas

Don't look, but Georgia is in the thick of the Southern race. Las Vegas is a co-leader in the Western race. Who would have thought?

Colorado at Arizona

Colorado needs to rebound from its heart-breaking loss to the Rush. Arizona, minus Bonner at QB, should be the tonic the Crush needs.

Bye: Tampa Bay
