World Class Travel, Out-of-Towners finish first round undefeated.
By JPOST.COM STAFF
World Class Travel and the Out-of-Towners remained undefeated in Week 7 of the Heritage Affinity AFI league. Both teams finished the first round with 6-0 records and have a bye this week.
World Class Travel defeated Silver Hammers (2-3) 33-12 on Friday at Kraft Family Stadium in Jerusalem and the Out-of-Towners went out-of-time-slot to beat Uncle Bob's Boys (4-2) 37-24 Saturday night, also at Kraft Family Stadium.
WCT is currently the top-ranked Friday team, with the Out-of-Towners in second. World Class Travel has a whopping plus-231 point differential; its average margin of victory is 38.5 points. The Out-of-Towners have a respectable plus-129 point differential. Currently ranked third, Lobos (5-0, plus-149 point differential) will jump over the Out-of-Towners into second if they beat Mass Mutual (2-2) on Friday. Lobos has a mathematical chance of finishing the first round ranked first, but it would need to win by 83 points or more on Friday.
Cleveland Friends (5-0) also kept its perfect record intact with a narrow 14-13 win over Jump Gym (2-3).
Tov Pizza (5-0) and Fairmont Funding (4-0) are the only remaining undefeated Saturday night teams after Klein Management (4-1) edged Pizzeria Efrat (4-1) 13-12. Fairmont Funding's game against Cafe Net was postponed and it will have to play two games this week, while Tov Pizza and Klein Management will go head-tohead on Saturday night in their final firstround game.
After the first round, in which each team plays six games, the top 32 teams - 16 from Friday and 16 from Saturday - will be placed into eight divisions of four teams each. Each of these 32 teams will face the other teams in its division for a three-game second round, hoping to claim one of 16 spots in the Holyland Bowl playoff bracket.
