Momentum meets opportunity.
The Renegades finally got into the win column last week, and now they’ll try to prove it wasn’t a one-off. Standing in their way is a Phantoms team riding high after knocking off Paterson U in one of Week 4’s biggest results.
Lexington has been strong at home, and another win would push them above .500 and deeper into the contender conversation.
Watch for: Whether Lexington can ride its momentum or if the Renegades can turn one win into a run.

This is the headline matchup of Week 5.
The Animals remain the league’s last unbeaten team at 4–0 and have looked dominant on both sides of the ball. Now they host a Paterson U squad that has already proven it can compete with anyone but is looking to bounce back after last week’s loss.
For Paterson U, this is a chance to reassert itself against the league’s hottest team. For Silk City, it’s another opportunity to keep the perfect season alive.
Watch for: Whether Paterson U can slow down the Animals’ explosive offense led by David Tender or if Silk City keeps rolling.
