Matchup Preview:

-Columbia’s two losses came from the Baltimore Bayhawks and the Virginia Beach Sharks. The Sasquatches defeated the Sharks in week 4.
-Jaquizz Rodgers (Columbia RB) is projected not to score any points in this weeks match up.
– Although neither team is facing any injuries (Rodgers questionable), four of Columbia’s players will be on their bye weeks for this match up
