Rankings
Serving up nachos with a home playoff game....
#1 - Porto People Eaters (8-0) - Will the People Eaters develop a taste for wolves or will Dickbrick do enough to take down the top team in Alpha? Should be a great game.
#2 - Portland OUTRAGE (8-0) - Narrowly escaping defeat from Brooklyn the OUTRAGE will look to eek out another win vs the Nightmare that is NY.
#3 -Tigana Wolves (6-2) - With 4 teams tied at 6-2 a win would go a long way in trying to secure a home playoff game. Since most teams will likely lose to Porto a loss isnt the end of the world either.
#4 - Motor City Heavanraisers (6-2) - The explosive backfield of Ryan Briars and Rollen Thunder may prove to be too much for the Mercs.
playoff bound...
#5 - Legends of Awesomeness (6-2) - Won a great game vs Madcow, snatching victory from the claws of defeat in the waning minutes. An even bigger game vs Lux upcoming.
#6 - Lux Borg (6-2) - With one of the top defenses in Europe, Legends won't move the ball easily. Should be a low scoring hard fought game!
#7 - WUiener CultDawgz (5-3) - Losing a tough game vs HOB means they REALLY need a win here vs a Madcow team who also lost a close game. Game will be tougher than the records may suggest.
#8 - Brethren Krewe Turtle Ships (5-3) - The Krewe have a very tenuous grip at best on that 8 seed with BH, HOB, the Aftershocks and E-city fighting to get back in. A win here would be very big as E-city faces Motor City and House of Bat and Black Hand play each other.
"Playoffs? Playoffs? Did you say PLAYOFFS!?........Playoffs?!?!?"
#9 - House of Batiatus (4-4) - House of Bat really needed this win and got it. No shame in using the player appreciation promo...needed the win!
#10 - South Yorkshire Aftershocks (A.D.D.) (3-5) - Next 4 games will be HUGE. It's now or never guys.
#11 - E-city (4-4) - "Disa, Disa Disaaaa....where are you....you need to beat some teams now.....if we cannot find you oh Deee-saa, you're gonna lose another!
#12 - Black Hand (3-5) - Box score doesnt look like it was a blowout. Not sure what happened in the game. As bad as the season has been they're only 2 games out of 8th place with plenty of games vs the teams they're fighting with for a playoff seed. Playoffs definitely still a possibility.
#13 - Madcow sayz eat mor chikin (1-7) - Put up a valiant effort and was within minutes of beating LOA. At 1-7 they might need to run the table to get in. They could sneak in at 8 if they run the table, might even be able to lose 1 but they'll need to beat 3 out of 4 of games vs Portland, Tigana, Black Hand and CultDawgz.
their season was over before it ever started....
#14 - New York Nightmare (2-6) - After getting shut out on the road the Nightmare come home to play the OUTRAGE.
#15 - Black Hand Goalline Mafia (0-8) - They can't take down Brooklyn, or can they????
#16 - Brooklyn Warriors (0-8) - Tough loss vs Portland as they pulled away late. They have what should be an easy game vs Black Hand Goalline Mafia, but in order to win they must score more than their scoring average of....ZERO.
GAME OF THE WEEK!!! brought to you by Primate
Porto People Eaters vs Tigana Wolves
Both teams can put up crazy points if the D gets a little loose. The Tigana D seems pretty suspect after the Rage game, but that O is built to play keep away, although they can pass when they have to. Porto is similar, but tends to mix it up just a little more than Tigana. Porto has won a couple of close ones, and Tigana hasn't yet. So maybe they are due. I see it being crazy close without crazy scoring. Something like a 35/31 score in favor of Porto.
honorable mention
Lux Borg vs Legends of Awesomeness
Lux seems to have found an offense that is at least workable to compliment their crazy D, and if they keep it up against a tough LOA Defense, I think they may be bumping off teams all the way to a top 4 or even top 2 slot. I think they score enough to win a game where both teams are in the teens to twenties.
