Paterson U has been one of the league’s most consistent teams through the first three weeks, and they come into Week 4 undefeated at 3-0.
Now comes a real test: going on the road to Lexington. The Phantoms have already proven they’re tough at home and won’t make it easy for the league’s last unbeaten teams. A win here keeps Paterson U perfect and strengthens their case as one of the top contenders early in the season.
For Lexington, it’s an opportunity to hand Paterson U their first loss and shake up the standings.
Watch for: Big 3 on 1 returns. Teams have the ability to flip the game with a single drive.
Silk City Animals (3-0) vs Trenton BIC (2-1)

Two of the league’s most recognizable teams meet in a matchup that always carries weight.
The Animals have been one of the most explosive teams, undefeated early in the season, while Trenton BIC, the defending 2025 A7FL Champions, continue to play with the expectations that come with a title.
Whenever these teams meet the margin for error shrinks.
Watch for: Execution in key moments. These teams know each other well, and the difference often comes down to one or two plays.

Two undefeated teams collide in one of the biggest matchups of Week 4.
The Insomniacs have looked like the team to beat in Las Vegas so far, efficient, explosive, and confident. They enter as the early favorite in the division, but the Stealth have quietly handled their business and come in undefeated as well.
Something has to give. A win for the Insomniacs strengthens their grip on the Vegas race. A win for the Stealth flips the narrative on its’ head and opens the division wide.
Watch for: Whether the Insomniacs’ high-powered offense can break through a Stealth team that hasn’t tasted defeat yet.
