Its a battle of 1 vs 2 in each conference
Western Conference
#2 Paris Smexies @ #1 Mount Holly - Paris ranks #1 in the overall standings while Mount Holly took the conference with a 23-6 victory during the season. The game was tied at halftime 6-6 but Paris had too many mistakes to overcome. The key to victory as in all victories for Mount Holly is the ROLB. The LB duo combined for the 8 sacks, 4 hurries and 4 FFs. If Paris can control those 2, by staying out of Single Back and Shotgun 3 WR formations they have a good shot. Most of Mount Holly's big plays on D come when teams are in those formations on O. Paris had success early on in the first match, they just had too many turnovers and mistakes on O to overcome. This should be a good battle, Paris has the more explosive O and Mount Holly the stifling D. Paris finds a way to get it done 27-24.
Eastern Conference
#2 Asylum Maulers @ #1 Tulsa Storm - Another battle of #1 vs #2. Tulsa dominated the conference going 16-0, but the closest game they played was against the Asylum. Rushing in that game was tough for both teams and Tulsa's turnovers played a role in the Asylums success. If the Asylum are going to put up a fight here they need to stretch the field with the passing game, the 3.3 yards per pass in the first game will not get it done. The Asylum need to get TDs instead of FGs and get those key turnovers again. If they can do that this one will be close. If Tulsa limits the turnovers they should prevail. Tulsa takes this one 34-20 and heads to the Championship game.
Good luck to all teams, hopefully the games are exciting for the rest of us to watch.
