Who’s Rising, Who’s Falling? – Rankings & Game Predictions

As we get closer to the midway point of the season, teams are beginning to separate themselves in the standings. Some have dominated on both sides of the ball, proving they’re legitimate contenders, while others are still searching for consistency. This week’s Power Rankings highlight the teams that are surging, the players making the biggest impact, and the squads that need to turn things around fast.

At the top, Crashout Boyz continue to hold strong, but Gooners remain undefeated and are making a serious case for the #1 spot. Meanwhile, Pasta Arrabiat, Big TDs, and Les Mangeux de Beignes have all proven they are serious threats with playmakers stepping up week after week.

On the flip side, some teams are in danger of falling too far behind. The Winless Group is still searching for their first victory, while others must make key adjustments if they want to stay in contention.

Power Rankings

1️⃣ Crashout Boyz (4-1-0) 🔥
📊 Record: 4-1-0 | PF: 126 | PA: 50 | PD: +76
The Crashout Boyz take the top spot with an impressive start to the season. Their defense has been outstanding, allowing just 50 points in five games. Wide receivers Nicolas Jody and Samuel Woody have been key playmakers, constantly delivering big performances.

  • Nicolas Jody has been a nightmare for opposing defenses, racking up 19 receptions for 227 yards and 7 touchdowns, averaging 11.9 yards per catch.
  • Samuel Woody isn’t far behind, with 12 receptions for 124 yards and 5 touchdowns, averaging 10.3 yards per catch.

With these two dominating the receiving game, the Crashout Boyz are proving to be one of the most well-rounded teams in the league. If they keep this pace, they’ll be hard to take down from the top spot.

2️⃣ Gooners (4-0-0) ⏫
📊 Record: 4-0-0 | PF: 123 | PA: 74 | PD: +49
The Gooners are off to a perfect start, and a big reason for that is the steady play of quarterback Noah Lieblein. He has been exceptionally safe with the football, throwing for 543 yards and 16 touchdowns while only throwing 1 interception in 94 pass attempts.

  • Lieblein boasts a 62.8% completion rate, keeping the offense efficient and moving the chains.
  • His 113.6 passer rating is among the best in the league, showing how in control he has been.

The Gooners’ offense is thriving under his leadership, and if he continues to play mistake-free football, they could make a serious case for the #1 ranking very soon.

3️⃣ Pasta Arrabiat (4-1-0) ⏫
📊 Record: 4-1-0 | PF: 111 | PA: 84 | PD: +27

Pasta Arrabiat has been a well-balanced squad, delivering strong performances on both offense and defense. One of the biggest contributors to their success has been Joe Morgese, who has emerged as a go-to target in the receiving game.

  • Morgese has been highly productive, hauling in 30 receptions for 290 yards and 8 touchdowns.
  • Averaging 9.7 yards per catch, he has been a reliable option for moving the chains and finishing drives in the end zone.

4️⃣ Big TDs (4-1-0) ⏫
📊 Record: 4-1-0 | PF: 157 | PA: 111 | PD: +46

Big TDs have been one of the most explosive offenses this season, putting up 157 points in five games. A major part of their success has been the dominance of Thomas Coulombe, especially in the red zone.

  • Coulombe has been a touchdown machine, recording 9 touchdowns on 17 receptions, proving to be nearly unstoppable near the goal line.
  • With 160 receiving yards and an average of 9.4 yards per catch, he’s been a consistent playmaker who delivers when it matters most.

If Coulombe continues to be this dominant inside the 20, Big TDs will remain a nightmare matchup for opposing defenses. Their high-scoring offense makes them a real threat as the season progresses. 🚀

5️⃣ Les Mangeux de Beignes (3-1-1) ⏫
📊 Record: 3-1-1 | PF: 173 | PA: 79 | PD: +94

Les Mangeux de Beignes have been lighting up the scoreboard, leading the league with 173 points in five games. But while their offense has been elite, their defense has also been making a statement—thanks to the absolute dominance of Clément Rompré.

  • Rompré has been a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks, already racking up 15 sacks in just five games.
  • His relentless pass rush has completely disrupted opposing offenses, making him a serious contender for Defensive Player of the Year.

With Rompré leading the charge on defense and their high-powered offense keeping them ahead, Les Mangeux de Beignes are shaping up to be a well-rounded powerhouse. If they keep this up, they’ll be a top contender come playoff time. 🚀

6️⃣ Dragon Magique (3-1-1) ⬆️
📊 Record: 3-1-1 | PF: 149 | PA: 96 | PD: +53

Dragon Magique has been one of the most exciting teams this season, thanks in large part to the dominant play of quarterback Émile Bolullo.

  • Bolullo has been lighting up defenses, throwing for a league-leading 810 yards and 23 touchdowns in just five games.
  • His 10.4 yards per attempt showcases his ability to stretch the field and make big plays.

However, while his aggressive style has led to huge numbers, he’ll need to be a bit safer with the football, as his 56.9% completion rate and 7 interceptions show there’s room for improvement in efficiency. If he can limit turnovers while maintaining his explosive playmaking, Dragon Magique will be a serious title contender. 🚀

7️⃣ Ducks (3-0-0) ⏫
📊 Record: 3-0-0 | PF: 99 | PA: 48 | PD: +51

The Ducks remain undefeated, and a huge reason for their success has been the elite play of quarterback Antoine Chabot.

  • Chabot has been incredibly efficient, throwing for 574 yards and 12 touchdowns while maintaining an impressive 69.2% completion rate.
  • He’s also one of the most accurate deep passers in the league, averaging 12.8 yards per attempt with a stellar 123.3 passer rating.

With only 2 interceptions in 65 pass attempts, Chabot has been both aggressive and safe with the football, a rare combination that makes the Ducks a dangerous team. If he continues this level of play, they’ll be a tough squad to beat moving forward. 🚀

8️⃣ Demons (3-0-0) ⏫
📊 Record: 3-0-0 | PF: 102 | PA: 51 | PD: +51

The Demons have been rolling through their opponents, staying undefeated with a balanced attack on both offense and defense. Two key players have been at the heart of their success: Ben Eglencyan on offense and Ryan Casey on defense.

  • Ben Eglencyan has been a big-play machine, hauling in 12 receptions for 211 yards and 5 touchdowns, averaging a massive 17.6 yards per catch. His ability to stretch the field has made him a nightmare for defenses.
  • Ryan Casey has been a lockdown presence on defense, racking up 4 tackles, 4 interceptions, and 1 pick-six. His ability to read the game and create turnovers has helped the Demons shut down opposing offenses.

With Eglencyan making explosive plays and Casey leading the defensive effort, the Demons are looking like a serious threat to remain undefeated. If they keep this up, they could climb even higher in the rankings. 🚀

9️⃣ No Punt Intended (3-1-0) ⏫
📊 Record: 3-1-0 | PF: 113 | PA: 82 | PD: +31

No Punt Intended has been one of the most well-rounded teams this season, showing strength on both sides of the ball. Their offense has been consistent, putting up points efficiently, while their defense has stepped up when needed.

A key contributor on defense has been Karl Forgues, who has already recorded 7 sacks, providing much-needed pressure on opposing quarterbacks.

With a balanced attack and a defense that can create big plays, No Punt Intended is a team that can go far if they maintain this level of performance. 🚀

🔟 Studz (3-2-0) ⏬
📊 Record: 3-2-0 | PF: 156 | PA: 98 | PD: +58

The Studz have been one of the most well-rounded offensive teams in the league, spreading the ball effectively across multiple playmakers. Their balanced attack has kept defenses guessing, making them a tough team to stop.

  • Justin Beauséjour has been a consistent target, leading the team with 14 receptions for 143 yards and 4 touchdowns, averaging 10.2 yards per catch.
  • Alexandre Blanchette has been incredibly efficient, catching 9 of his 10 targets for 52 yards and 3 touchdowns.
  • Antoine Clément brings a deep-threat element with 93 yards and 3 touchdowns on just 7 catches, averaging 13.3 yards per reception.
  • Mathieu Limoges has been another reliable option, adding 110 yards and 3 touchdowns, averaging 12.2 yards per catch.
  • Philippe Savard has been the team’s big-play receiver, hauling in 135 yards and 2 touchdowns on just 7 receptions, with an explosive 19.3 yards per catch.

With multiple weapons in the passing game, the Studz have one of the deepest and most balanced receiving corps in the league. If they continue to spread the ball efficiently, they’ll be a serious problem for any defense they face. 🚀

1️⃣1️⃣ Mighty Ducks (2-1-0) ⏫
📊 Record: 2-1-0 | PF: 75 | PA: 57 | PD: +18

The Mighty Ducks have been off to a strong start, showing they can compete with the best teams in the league. A key part of their success has been Natan Nettel, who has emerged as a dynamic playmaker in their offense.

  • Nettel has been a big-play threat, racking up 172 yards and 4 touchdowns on just 11 receptions, averaging 15.6 yards per catch.
  • His ability to stretch the field and create scoring opportunities has made him a go-to target for the offense.

1️⃣2️⃣ Maccabees (2-1-0) ⏫
📊 Record: 2-1-0 | PF: 102 | PA: 58 | PD: +44

The Maccabees have looked strong to start the season, and a big reason for their success has been the stellar play of quarterback Shimmy Cons.

  • Cons has been highly productive, throwing for 502 yards and 12 touchdowns while maintaining a solid 66.1% completion rate.
  • His ability to push the ball downfield efficiently, averaging 12.2 yards per attempt, has kept the Maccabees’ offense firing on all cylinders.
  • With a 110.3 passer rating, he has been a steady leader, helping his team put up strong offensive numbers.

With Cons leading the charge, the Maccabees have a high-powered offense that can challenge any team. If they continue to execute at this level, they’ll be a dangerous squad moving forward.

1️⃣3️⃣ Sour Puss (2-2-0) ⏬
📊 Record: 2-2-0 | PF: 89 | PA: 71 | PD: +18

Sour Puss has had an up-and-down start to the season, but one constant has been the outstanding play of Djomax Mukuna in the receiving game.

  • Mukuna has been one of the team’s most reliable targets, hauling in 20 receptions for 272 yards and 4 touchdowns.
  • His 13.6 yards per catch shows his ability to stretch the field and make big plays when it matters most.

With Mukuna leading the charge offensively, Sour Puss has the potential to turn things around and climb higher in the rankings. If they can find consistency, they’ll be a team to watch out for.

1️⃣4️⃣ Dirty Dogs (2-2-0) ⏬
📊 Record: 2-2-0 | PF: 89 | PA: 76 | PD: +13

The Dirty Dogs have been competitive this season, and a big reason for their defensive success has been Noah Soles, who has been an absolute ballhawk in the secondary.

  • Soles has already racked up 7 interceptions in just 4 games, making him one of the most disruptive defenders in the league.
  • His ability to read the quarterback and make game-changing plays has given the Dirty Dogs a huge defensive edge in close matchups.

If Soles continues his dominance in the secondary and the offense keeps up, the Dirty Dogs will be a tough team to beat moving forward. 🚀

1️⃣5️⃣ Les Super Turbo Navets (2-2-0) ⏬
📊 Record: 2-2-0 | PF: 103 | PA: 99 | PD: +4

Les Super Turbo Navets have shown flashes of offensive brilliance, largely thanks to the strong play of quarterback Raphaël Caron.

  • Caron has been highly productive, throwing for 568 yards and 14 touchdowns, keeping the offense moving efficiently.
  • His 9.5 yards per attempt showcases his ability to push the ball downfield and create big plays.

However, while his numbers are impressive, Caron needs to work on limiting mistakes, as his 10 interceptions and 10 sacks have put the team in difficult situations at times. If he can clean up his decision-making and improve his pocket presence, Les Super Turbo Navets have the potential to climb in the rankings and become a serious threat. 🚀

1️⃣6️⃣ Chicken Littles (1-1-0) ⏬
📊 Record: 1-1-0 | PF: 27 | PA: 41 | PD: -14

We don’t have a lot of information on the Chicken Littles just yet, but from what we’ve seen so far, their offense needs to improve moving forward. With only 27 points scored in two games, they’ll need to find more consistency on that side of the ball to stay competitive.

1️⃣7️⃣ Sleeping Nobody (1-3-0) ⏬
📊 Record: 1-3-0 | PF: 53 | PA: 91 | PD: -38

Sleeping Nobody has shown athleticism and potential, but if they want to stay relevant in the playoff race, they need to improve their passing game.

Their ability to make plays is there, but inconsistency in the air attack has limited their ability to keep up with higher-scoring teams. If they can find a rhythm in the passing game and maximize their offensive production, they’ll have a chance to turn things around. 🚀

1️⃣8️⃣ Bullshigh (1-3-0) ⏬
📊 Record: 1-3-0 | PF: 68 | PA: 108 | PD: -40

Bullshigh has had a tough start to the season, but they have some key playmakers on offense who have been stepping up. Gabriel Mutombo and Olivier Guérin have both been reliable targets, keeping the passing game alive.

  • Gabriel Mutombo has been a solid presence in the receiving game, recording 17 receptions for 193 yards and 3 touchdowns, averaging 11.4 yards per catch.
  • Olivier Guérin has been a big-play threat, putting up 121 yards and 3 touchdowns on just 8 receptions, with an impressive 15.1 yards per catch.

Despite their struggles, Bullshigh has the talent to compete. If they can tighten up their defense and find more consistency on offense, they could turn things around in the coming weeks. 🚀

1️⃣9️⃣ Kicking Assets (1-3-0) ⏬
📊 Record: 1-3-0 | PF: 70 | PA: 113 | PD: -43

Kicking Assets have struggled to find their footing this season, but one bright spot has been Samuel Duguay, who has been a key contributor in the passing game.

  • Duguay has been a reliable target, hauling in 15 receptions for 223 yards and 5 touchdowns, averaging 14.9 yards per catch.
  • His ability to make plays downfield has given the offense some much-needed firepower.

If Kicking Assets can tighten up defensively and get more consistency on offense, they have the potential to climb back into contention. 🚀

2️⃣0️⃣ – 2️⃣5️⃣ | The Winless Group ⏬

This group of teams has yet to secure a win, and each of them will need to make major adjustments if they want to turn their seasons around.

📊 Les Immortels (0-6-0) | PF: 30 | PA: 221 | PD: -191

  • Hard Knocks & The Diddlers – Both teams have kept games competitive but need to find ways to finish strong and secure their first win.
  • Going out of Business – With just 12 points in two games, the offense needs to find a spark fast.
  • FLAG DEALERS – They’ve put up some points (71 in four games) but have been unable to stop opposing offenses, leading to 134 points against.
  • Momma’s Favourite & Les Immortels – Both teams have had a rough season defensively, allowing over 200 points each. They need a major defensive turnaround to become competitive.

Each of these teams is looking for their first win, and a single victory could be the momentum shift they need to salvage their season. 🚀

Matchup Previews & Predictions

Wednesday, Feb 5 – 23:00

📍 Stade Hebert [3]
🏈 The Diddlers (0-2-0) vs. Bullshigh (1-3-0)
📝 Prediction: Bullshigh

The Diddlers are still searching for their first win, and this matchup against Bullshigh presents an opportunity to get on the board. However, they’ll need to step up defensively, as they have given up 57 points in just two games.

Bullshigh, despite a 1-3 record, has had some standout performances from Gabriel Mutombo and Olivier Guérin, who have provided consistent offensive production. If Bullshigh’s defense can limit mistakes and their playmakers continue to step up, they should take this one.

Monday, Feb 10 – 21:00

📍 BeauChateau Sportplex [3]
🏈 Mighty Ducks (2-1-0) vs. Chicken Littles (1-1-0)
📝 Prediction: Mighty Ducks

The Mighty Ducks have shown flashes of dominance, led by Natan Nettel, who has been a consistent deep threat. Their balanced approach has made them a tough matchup, and with a winning record, they’ll look to keep their momentum going.

The Chicken Littles have played fewer games, so there’s still some uncertainty about their overall strength. However, their offense needs to step up, as they’ve only managed 27 points in two games. If they can’t find ways to score, the Mighty Ducks should come out on top.

Monday, Feb 10 – 21:00

📍 BeauChateau Sportplex [2]
🏈 No Punt Intended (3-1-0) vs. Going out of Business (0-2-0)
📝 Prediction: No Punt Intended

No Punt Intended has looked like one of the most well-rounded teams, combining a strong offense with solid defensive play. Karl Forgues has been a force on defense, adding to the team’s versatility.

Going out of Business, on the other hand, has had one of the toughest starts in the league, scoring only 12 points in two games. Unless they find a way to generate offense and keep the game competitive, No Punt Intended should take this one with ease.

Monday, Feb 10 – 22:00

📍 Saint-Laurent [1]
🏈 Gooners (4-0-0) vs. Dragon Magique (3-1-1)
📝 Prediction: Gooners

This is shaping up to be one of the best matchups of the week, featuring two of the strongest teams in the league. The Gooners are undefeated, led by quarterback Noah Lieblein, who has been both efficient and safe with the football, throwing for 543 yards, 16 touchdowns, and just 1 interception.

Dragon Magique will rely on Émile Bolullo, who has been dominant offensively but has struggled with turnovers. If they can protect the football and limit sacks, they have a shot at pulling off the upset. However, with the way the Gooners have been playing, they are the favorites in this one.

Wednesday, Feb 12 – 22:00

📍 Stade Hebert [2]
🏈 Kicking Assets (1-3-0) vs. Les Super Turbo Navets (2-2-0)
📝 Prediction: Les Super Turbo Navets

Les Super Turbo Navets have been a competitive team this season, showing moments of brilliance but also struggling with consistency. Quarterback Raphaël Caron has put up impressive numbers (568 yards, 14 touchdowns), but his 10 interceptions and 10 sacks have hurt them at times.

Kicking Assets have had trouble finding momentum, but Samuel Duguay has been a bright spot, with 223 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns. If they can generate enough offense to keep up, this could be a close one. However, if Caron can limit turnovers, Les Super Turbo Navets should come out on top.
