LIVESTREAM Germany PPV: Ravensburg Razorbacks @ Potsdam Royals, Aug. 16, 16:00 CET (4 pm, 10 am ET)

| American Football | 08/16/2025

The Potsdam Royals (8-1) host the Ravensburg Razorbacks (5-3) in a pivotal GFL South Division showdown, with Potsdam aiming to tighten their title race and Ravensburg seeking to cement their divisional lead during their final Color Rush home game and Blue Light Day in Potsdam.

Razorbacks’ resilience meets royal test
After a shaky 1-2 start, Ravensburg has won five of their last six games, including a dramatic 34-30 comeback against the Allgäu Comets last week. Trailing by three scores in the fourth quarter, quarterback Broghean McGovern (#17) capitalized on opponent miscues (three interceptions) to seal the win. McGovern’s dual-threat prowess, supported by receivers Anthony Harris (#1), Tim Müller (#87), and Aidan Enneking (#19), alongside running back Lennies McFerren (#11), fuels an offense averaging 28.4 points. Defensively, imports Helio Barros Lima (Portugal) and Ben Rashid (USA) anchor a unit leading the GFL in interceptions.

Royals’ defensive dominance and offensive rhythm
Potsdam, reigning German champions, boast the league’s second-stingiest defense (18.2 points allowed per game) and have honed their offense during a two-week break. Their ability to exploit Ravensburg’s vulnerability to no-huddle schemes—a Royals specialty—could prove decisive. Potsdam’s squad also benefits from returning injured players, adding depth for this critical matchup.

Stakes and strategies

  • Ravensburg: A win solidifies their South Division lead, but their 1-3 record against playoff-bound teams (excluding Allgäu) raises questions about contender legitimacy.
  • Potsdam: Victory keeps pace with Dresden Monarchs (9-0) ahead of their Week 14 showdown, crucial for securing home-field advantage in the playoffs.

Crystal ball or coin flip?
While experts favor Potsdam, Ravensburg’s grit and late-game poise make them dangerous. The Royals’ defense must contain McGovern’s improvisation, while their offense needs to sustain drives against a ball-hawking secondary. For Ravensburg, limiting turnovers and stifling Potsdam’s tempo are keys to an upset.
