New Orleans (0-0) at Los Angeles (0-0)
These two teams may be going in opposite directions in 2008. Los Angeles appears to be poised to at least challenge defending AFL champ San Jose in the Western Division, while New Orleans appears to be a team in transition and it will struggle to get out of the basement in the competitive Southern Division. The VooDoo have a QB they can count on, Steve Bellisari, but he has limited offensive weapons available and his pass protection is not good enough to give him time to see the whole field. Defensively, they have some good players, but there are no stars and you wonder where the key defensive stops will come from, especially with an offense that may struggle to put up points. The Avengers have a proven QB in Sonny Cumbie and a deep group of receivers, but they must stabilize their pass protection. They have a go-to WR in free agent acquisition Timon Marshall, who also upgrades their special teams as a kick returner. Defensively, they will be excellent up front and their pass rush will be a big problem for New Orleans. Los Angeles will build an early lead and then unleash their defensive line. The VooDoo will not be able to keep pace and the Avengers will win fairly easily.
