Written by: Daniel Cortés Martínez Mayas vs Fundidores | lfa.mx MAYAS vs FUNDIDORES @ Estadio Tec, Monterrey | Sunday, 9th April, 2017 | 14:00pm The Mayas (5-1) have to pay a visit to tough Monterrey before they focus their energies in the conference championship of their playoff bracket. The Fundidores (2-4) will host a major challenge to their own postseason aspirations and forcibly need to take away the win to control their own destiny. If the Saltillo Dinos fall to the Raptors and the Fundidores win, they will get into the desired playoffs. On the other hand, if the Fundidores tumble against Mayas, and Dinos loose too, we will have to take into consideration the league's tie-breakers to get to know the last guest to the postseason. The Mayas are an extremely disciplined and well-coached team that will took their powerful defense and their high-flying offense to the Estadio Tec in order to wrap up their wonderful season with another win. The Fundidores are looking to

Written by: Daniel Cortés Martínez Condors vs Eagles | lfa.mx CONDORS vs EAGLES @ Palillo Stadium, México City | Sunday, 9th April 2017 | 11:00am The last ticket to the 2017 LFA's playoffs in the Suerox division is up for grabs. The Eagles (3-3) and the Condors (2-4) are in position to slay their opponent and get on the fast track to face the Mayas in the conference championship. Each team face an enormous task because they both come from painful losses at the hands of two of the best teams in the league (Raptors and Mayas respectively). In their previous games, the Eagles and Condors looked lost at times and overwhelmed by the opponents defenses.  The Eagles flubs at offense were their main problem when they faced the Raptors last week. They gave away too many balls in consecutive series and found a hard time to establish chemistry within their backfield and the receivers corps. QB Joaquín Juárez (No. 16) mentioned in the press conference, after the Raptors game, t

That is exactly what happened, as they beat in illustrious form a diminished Eagles team that looked lost and overwhelmed almost the entire match. Raptors stand alone at the top of the Under Armour division and got their deserved ticket to post-season. Meanwhile, the Eagles are set to face a win-or-die match against the Condors next week. The Eagles opened the hostilities with their offense trying to establish some kind of rhythm only to punt away the ball after a couple of first downs. The first points came on the side of the Raptors, which sustained a long series that were defined by two consecutive amazing diving catches (see the image above) courtesy of RB Dan Ávila, N. 3, for 40 yards and RB Alan Alcalá, N. 32. However, Eagles&

Actually, this was a different game in comparison with their previous meeting, as the Condors fought well during three quarters. Still, a furious and aggressive defensive spectacle, and an impeccable execution in the red-zone got the Mayas shredding apart a fast declining Condors team. The Mayas opened the scoreboard after a 10-play series  –  5 runs, 5 passes  –  culminating with a TD by Edgar Arroyo, N. 33, on a retarded run to the left in which Arroyo showed great speed reaching the end-zone without being touched by any Condor player. The extra point was missed, so the "Blue Empire" had to conform with 6 points. However, the Condors didn't take long time to answer

It is the most attractive game of Week 6 and we close the activities with this tasty dish. The Eagles are trying to catch the Mayas in the division, in order to not be left behind in the playoff race. The Raptors hold a tight grip of the first place of their group, and are willing to put everything at stake so they can stay at the same position when Sunday gets to an end. Here is what you need to know for the coming game: - The Raptors have to be prepared for either Raúl Mateos, N. 16, or Joaquín Juárez, N. 18, to start at the Eagles' QB position.

Condors vs Mayas | lfa.mx MAYAS vs CONDORS @ Palillo Stadium, México City | Sunday, 2nd April 2017 | 11:00 a.m. In their first meeting of this season, the Mayas took care of the Condors with the largest score differential of the year by beating them 64-16. On that day, the offensive side of the Condors was a mess and the Mayas' defense took advantage of every opportunity they gave them, situation that got reflected in the scoreboard. Here's what to look for in the rematch: - After the bully beatdown, the Condors went on to grant their first loss to the previously undefeated Eagles, a fact that shows that they made the right adjustments, in order to defeat one of the toughest teams in the league. Condors defeated Fundidores with a 2-point game, only to fall the next week by the hands of Saltillo Dinos. Both things show an inconsistent team that gets a hard time to get into rhythm. This time, the Condors have to come well prepared to face probably one of the
