Wood Elves beat demoralised ShameGobbos, NJ blames dice for losing to Skaven, Moose has his laptop targeted by a sniper and can't make the match, Brave Harts denied win by a match-drawing werewolf turn 16 TD.

I'm going for purely form-based predictions here...
Wood Elves win 3-1
Dark Elves vs Skaven draw 1-1 (both teams average scoring exactly 1 TD a match)
Orkly Ducklingz beat Boomstick 1-0
Amazon Fabels draw 1-1

Fun fact: at the half way point of the current season we have already had as many draws (7) as the whole of last season's league. Only 1 of this season's 7 did not feature Bad For Thine Elf or Brave Harts :)

Wasn't season 6 low in draws compared to 5? I'd look it up but I wouldn't want to take the pleasure from anyone else :)

No, it also had 7 draws. RTBBL history does show around 20% draws (ie 7-8 per 38 game season). We are having a weird season in that regard now (well 2 teams in particular).

At the other end of things you have the Wanderers & Cheeseosophers - 27 and 24 games respectively, but only 1 draw each...

I'll update last week's results soon but my form-based approach paid dividends last week, getting 3 out of 4 correct :)

This weekend we have....
The Mighty Undercheesers vs. Hambridge Archers.... both teams searching for their first win of the season
Everglade Wanderers vs. A Fistful of Boomstick.... or a battle of the only teams not to draw a match this season. The Wanderers have in fact only drawn 1 match ever.
Bad For Thy Elf vs. Fables! ... a win for the Dark Elves could see them in contention for a podium spot
The Orkly Ducklingz vs The Team Who Draw.... another mid-table match up featuring the 2 most violent teams in the league.

Incidentally the Amazons have only lost 1 of their last 11... a more positive way of looking at it rather than 5 consecutive draws.

The Mighty Undercheesers vs. Hambridge Archers - I'm going out on a limb and calling for a 1-0 win for the Archers
Everglade Wanderers vs. A Fistful of Boomstick - 17-0 to the boring Wood Elves
Bad For Thy Elf vs. Fables! - 2-1 to the Dark Elves
The Orkly Ducklingz vs The Brave Hearts - 1-1 Draw

Russian UnderShamers cruelly beat the plucky Archers.
Everglade Wanderers send the crowd to sleep in the only dull 27-0 game ever played.
Feebles! pull out a draw as NJ blames nuffle.
Ducklings win the war of attrition, outbash the Zon's and lose 1-0.

The Mighty Undercheesers vs. Hambridge Archers - My blitzers have no tackle. 1-1
Everglade Wanderers vs. A Fistful of Boomstick - The undead have no tackle? 4-0 to the Elves
Bad For Thy Elf vs. Fables! - Brand new werewolves. 2-1 to the Elves
The Orkly Ducklingz vs The Brave Hearts - Massive violence. Sweet. 1-1 Draw
