The opening week to the 2018 season saw the defending champions continue their winning ways. The Big Splendas came out in full force and pounced on the Rampage. A team that struggled to get in the Red Zone all game. However Jon Blackwood had a strong defensive game for the Rampage while Russ Noseworthy proved again why he is still one of best players in the league.

The Hitmen also continued their strong play by defeating the Honey Badgers. Once again it was an aggressive and dynamic rushing attack that kept the Badgers offense at check for most of the game.

A little sluggish and slow the Badgers also missed some key players that could have made this game a lot closer.
