Only 3 undefeated Teams remain after 3 Weeks into the season. The german teams Munich, Frankfurt and Stuttgart are looking hot, new Franchise Nordic Storm gets third win in franchise history.

#1 Vienna Vikings

–

Vienna wins against the defending Champion Rhein Fire and takes Revenge for the loss in last year`s final. With a strong defense and important points on the offense, they stay the strongest team in this league right now for me.

#2 Stuttgart Surge

↑ 3

Stuttgart bounces back from a disappointing performance in Week 2 against Paris. The defense, once again, performs against Hamburg in Week 3. The offense around Reilly Hennessey puts 40 points on the board before halftime. They now face a tough challenge against the undefeated Munich Ravens.

#3 Nordic Storm

↑1

The danish Franchise has made it clear that they should not be underestimated. Another W in Week 3 against the disappointing Berlin Thunder keeps them at 3-0 and also brings them their first home- win in franchise history. Now, on top of the North Division, they head into a Bye Week.

#4 Rhein Fire

↓2

Rhein Fire has yet to live up to their previous victorious seasons. A tough loss against Vienna in Week 3 showed us multiple take-aways: a missing run game against a strong Vikings defense, a strong defense that kept Vienna to 12 points and a struggling pass offense, with which new QB Chad Jeffries can`t be happy.

#5 Munich Ravens

↑1

Despite their Bye Week Munich is climbing due to weak performances of the other teams in the top half of this League. The Ravens head to Stuttgart, maybe their toughest matchup in the regular season.

#6 Frankfurt Galaxy

↑1

After the third quarter of Week 3, Frankfurt would`ve been at least at #4 for me. But this team just fell apart and let Paris score a whooping 24 points in the fourth. Such poor spirit keeps them at #6 this Week, but their second W this year shows promise.

#8 Paris Musketeers

↓5

Paris showed comeback qaulities and team spirit in the fourth quarter against Frankfurt and yes, it was a close one in the end but what happened before? 7 days back, I had Paris at #3 and this week, they let Frankfurt score 19 points on them in the first half, while their own offense scored none? A lot of potential that shouldn`t be wasted on a 1-2 record.

#8 Tirol Raiders

↑2

I`m starting to actually buy that Tirol´s Week 1 against Munich was just a bad day against a good team. Tirol bounced back in Week 2 against weak Mercenaries and absolutely demolished the Centurions this Week with a 68 to nothing win. Two easy opponents to play so no overreaction at this point.

#9 Madrid Bravos

↓1

Madrid`s record (2-1) looks better than their games. A close game in Week 1 against Cologne and too many allowed points against Helvetic this Week doesn`t show too much promise from Spain. On the other hand, they did bounce back from a rather close game against strong Galaxy in Week 2.

#10 Prague Lions

↑2

Prague climbs two spots here after taking care of business against the weakest link in their Division. The Lions show their offensive talent, especially their #11 Zouzelka shows class with 22.3 average yards per catch and another 66 yards and 2 TDs as a runner.

#11 Hamburg Sea Devils

–

Nope, that was definitely not it. After a promising Win in Week 2 against Prague, which brought the injury of their QB1 and the signing of Tagovailoa, the Sea Devils had no chance against my #2 pick Stuttgart Surge in Week 3. Tagovailoa had a difficult game in his debut for Hamburg and the ELF. With enough progress they can move up here, I don`t see it yet.

#12 Panthers Wroclaw

↓2

After their Bye Week the polish host Prague. It should be an intersting matchup with two teams that will definetly fight each other for the second spot in the East Division. Panthers Quarterback DJ Irons put on quite a show in Week 2, I`m excited to watch him play again.

#13 Berlin Thunder

–

Berlin is just not there this year. Their second loss in their third game is due to a lack of offensive thread and a lack of answers to aggressive offenses, like the one they faced in Week 3 against the Nordic Storm. Biggest area to work on: running game.

#14 Helvetic Mercenaries

–

After two heavy losses in Week 1 and 2, Helvetic was able to put up a fight in Madrid. The offense can apparently score and put pressure on the opposing team but defensively it is just not enough. Tirol wasable to record an average of 8.8 yards per play in Week 3, which is just too much. I can see little to none improvement to last year`s Mercenaries, which is unfortunate.

#15 Fehervar Enthroners

–

Fehervar`s running game looks bad. It still looks better than their passing game or their defenisive game which describes the situation perfectly. The Enthroners will host Madrid in Week 4, another tough game coming up.

#16 Cologne Centurios

–

Cologne is probably the most disappointing team coming out of the offseason. Their second loss in their second game was even worse than the one in Week 1 and shows that neither the team nor the coaching staff found answers to their problems during the Bye Week.

Preview to week 4

Paris traveling to Rhein Fire will definetly be an intersting matchup to watch but the most exciting game in this Week 4 will take place in Stuttgart, when the Surge take on the Ravens.

(go to Preview: https://munichravenshuddle.com/spielvorschau/spielvorschau-2/)

The Division East duell between Prague and Wroclaw will decide a lot in that Division and Tirol can prove against Vienna that the last two opponents were not just easy teams to play against.
