CHAMPIONSHIP RACE
One game separates the Rhein Fire (4-2) and the World Bowl champion Berlin Thunder (3-3) in the standings. Not only are the Thunder hoping to stretch their winning streak to four games, but they know that a victory by more than four points would give them a head-to-head tiebreaker edge over the team that will host this year's championship game. The Thunder have won three straight games after a 24-17 victory against Barcelona last week after opening the season with three losses. The Fire's four-game winning streak came to a halt with a 17-7 loss at Scotland.
The Frankfurt Galaxy is 5-1 for the first time in franchise history, while F.C. Barcelona are 1-5 for their first time. The Galaxy are looking to record their first winning season in three years and qualify for their fifth World Bowl appearance.
