Next Week Preview

Orange bloods
A pair of 6-4 squads will go at it as Orange bloods battle Vandals next week in a mid-season showdown. Orange bloods will certainly miss the production of Derrick Henry, who has a bye in Week 11. Vandals won't have Ryan Tannehill, the New York Giants defense, or Sterling Shepard. Over the past two weeks, Orange bloods have scored 147.63 points per game, while Vandals have averaged only 116.38 per contest.
Blue Falcons
Looking ahead to Week 11, 11th-place Blue Falcons (3-7) will try to get back in the win column against 10th-place Enforcers (4-6). Blue Falcons may need to shuffle the deck some with Mason Crosby out on bye in Week 11. Enforcers won't have Darius Slayton or Jamaal Williams.
