Week 14 is a huge week for both conferences and will really help put the final touches on the playoff scene...or maybe not. lol

Western conference

There are only two teams left on Troy's schedule that has any chance of beating them. One of those opponents is up to bat next. The Chicago Hurricanes have been on a huge roll riding in to Troy on a 7 game winning streak. It's a pretty simple equation. Troy wins and they are the #1 seed, Chicago wins and Minnesota is still alive for the 1 seed. Chicago still has an outside shot at a home playoff game but they need some help.

The Purple People Eaters are big Chicago fans this week.

Metro Manila plays host to the Ninja Gaidens. This is another cut and dry situation. MMA wins, they are a lock for a home field game. Ninja wins and they help their chances of making the playoffs, if they lose their season is pretty much finished. Barcelona going CPU after they played Ninja really screwed up the Western playoffs, tbh.

Eastern conference

Springfield travels to Night Lights in what could very well be the game of the season. Quite simple, whoever wins this game is the 1 seed. Night Lights plays a CPU and Bay City after this and Springfield plays South Pole and a CPU afterwards. In other words, Night Lights can do no worse than a 2 seed if they lose but Springfield could drop to the 3 seed with a loss to NL and North Pole.

Iowa City tries to put the Springfield game behind them as they travel to Bay City. Bay City has a chance to make a statement with this game after losing handily to Springfield earlier this season and losing a close one to NorCal. On paper the winner of this game will have a home playoff game and the loser will play on the road. In reality, Bay City faces Night Lights and South Pole after this and I don't honestly think they can win out as opposed to IC who plays two CPUs after this game.

Predictions

As much as I have been tempted to pick an upset, I really think Troy will scrape by Chicago. I'm picking Troy by 7. Troy wins by 7. Looks like Chicago is for real.

I think MMA kills Ninja's playoff hopes (which is unfortunate since I would rather see them in the playoffs than Barcelona). MMA by 21. MMA by 51. yikes

I know Bay City has already boosted some players but I still don't have confidence that they are a contender in the East. Iowa City takes it by 14. Iowa stomps BC by 31

Sorry about botching up your prediction last week but we're going to try to nail this one for this coming week.

The way GLB is, if you can make a prediction within 30 points you've done well. lol

I don't know Dub. I think now's the time for guys to beat us now that teams are catching up to our level. We'll see though, it should be a close game, at least fun to watch unlike 100 point blowouts.

Not yet man, you guys are still a couple of levels ahead of teams (i.e. MMA Stars).
Maybe in the playoffs we will have a shot at you guys.

A couple of Bay City players have boosted, but most of them haven't.. Maybe you meant Iowa City? I'll be a little surprised if Bay City wins, we're more worried about trying to win in the playoffs. The seeding doesn't really matter since money is re-set after the season, and I've never been able to notice a home field advantage.

I'm going to try something weird on defense for today's game. I hope it works.

I hope the SPs I'm holding onto don't bite us in the ass.
