Got to keep these short. Whiskey be calling. 5 of 8 in 1st round. Uganda couldn't get much going. Cult was apparently not as good as I gave them credit for being. And the Pirates failed to live up to Tims expectations.
Lion
Axis vs TAP
Axis took the regular season matchup easily but expect a tougher go of it this time around. The defense will have their hands full containing TAPs top ranked O. Of course, the best counter to TAPs pass attack is great pressure and with 131 sacks this season the Purgatory crew know just how to disrupt a QB. Closer than last time but sticking with Axis.
Rhinos vs Whales
Sahara has had a great run this season I think they'll find their season coming to an end in this matchup unless they pull out all the tricks they know. Rhinos just look stronger overall and are coming off of a huge 1st round beatdown of RnR. Expecting a closer game than last time but I think we're going to see a double digit loss here and the favored team advancing.
Elephant
BSS vs Philly
Complete toss up here. BSS may have run the table in the regular season but Philly is a different animal in the playoffs too. Got to pick someone though. Philly in an upset after they "shocked" the world and beat the Pirates.
Benin vs ICB
Another tough one to call and since I'm short on time I'll just go with another upset in Ele. Breakers are like Philly in the way that they sneak up on you in the playoffs. Besides, it's only fitting to see another long time APL team move on in the playoffs before Bort merges every league into one giant 356,748 team Pro league with seasons that last 5347 years.
Good luck to all!
