Four Saturday games this week brough little drama with the closest game being 9 points by Birmingham. Michigan, Tampa Bay, and Chicago all won their games by double digits. While Pittsburgh kept it close against Boston on Sunday afternoon, the other games were blow outs, too.

New Jersey won their first game of the season by defeating the Showboats. Then Philadelphia got rolling again against Arizona. In the two Monday games, Los Angeles squeaked by Denver and Houston rolled Washington, scoring a season high 52 points.
