The Potsdam Royals relished a well-deserved bye week, but their dominance in the league remains unshaken. Firmly seated at the top of the standings, the Royals are the clear favorites for the GFL Bowl this season. Next week, they will host the Berlin Rebels at home.

Wide receiver Brendan Beaulieu has been his go-to target, leading the league with 8 touchdown receptions. Despite the Rebels' motivation to rebound after their derby loss to the Berlin Adler, the Royals are expected to continue their commanding performance and overpower the visiting team.
