Warrior General Games

Three Quarters of the season are over and while the playoff position at the top is relativly locked the bottom of Zeta is anything but, wild volatility in the standings keeps going on that may continue right up to the end of the year.

Number of total points included for the bottom three in the event(quite possible) of a three way tie.

In a Class of their own

1. New Jersey Crocodiles(12-0)
The Crocs didnt need any Cardiac Action this week dismanaling the Bocs and chugging forward towards a perfect season the light is green and certainly there can be no doubt about them as the #1 seed in Zeta.
Who's left: Athens, Chuck, Bulls, Admirals
Projected: 15-0

2. Roman Legion(11-1)
Still playing the playoff grinch defeating the most desperate of hopefulls by their usual lopsided count. If not for the last 50 seconds against the Crocs early in the season these guys would be the #1 seed and you can bet their hungry for a re-match that for now seems weeks away. In the meantime they can continue to take it out on teams with everything to lose.
Who's Left: Vikings, Hague, Mamertini, Darkwolves
Projected Record: 14-1

3. Walterfootball.com Draftniks(10-2)
Almost completed the 200 point challenge against Athens missing it by 5. Same kind of ho-hum schedule here at the end, not going to move into the 2 seed and in no danger of slipping down - just opportunities to dash the hopes of some playoff hopefulls.
Who's Next: Chuck, Bulls, Vikings, Mauraders
Projected: 13-2

As Dangerous as anyone

4. Warsaw Wolves(9-3)
Took care of business against the Manlets in a game in which the Manlets never threatened. Have made a deadline deal for a stud QB(done at rollover) to start the rest of the way, completing their re-organization following a mid-season shuffle. Now an easy game against a slow-build team to tune him up for a battle against the Hollywood Knights.
Who's Next: Sidewinders, Hollywood, C-Knights, Chiefs
Projected Record: 12-3

5. Hollywood Knights(8-4)
Hollywood still controls their own destiny after they rout their fellow Knights by 70 but they must win out in order to re-gain homefield advantage. Even a victory against the Wolves in two games means nothing if they lost to either the Bocs or the team that just took out the Admirals Barcelona.
Who's left: Tigers, Wolves, Bocs, Barcelona
PROJECTED RECORD: 10-5

Looking like Locks

6. Hague Pirates(7-5)
Once these guys looked like also rands struggling for the 8th seed but it looks like they are peaking at just the right time. This is a team in a first round matchup you do not want to play come with your B game against these guys and they will do just enough to hurt you. They are still not flashy or glitzy but they do play very solid football and bring it every game.
Who's Left: C-Knights, Legion, Tigers, Don's
Projected: 9-6

7. Misc Manlets(7-5)
Got beat by the Wolves in a game that was never really close and probably end up as the 6th seed but now have no chance to move up and with the streaking Pirates making noise have little margin of error. Of course the 7th seed may actually be better than the 6th financially as splitting revenue with the super wealthy Legion.
Who's Next: Bocs, Athens, Chuck, Asylum
Projected: 9-6

Battling for 8th:

8. Iberian Bocs (6-6) {480}
Got blown out by the Crocs and now face an almost must win against the Manlets, the Manlets are one team the Bocs actually match up well against but then again the Bocs can be almost as good as anyone and almost as bad as anyone in the span of a few short games. If its Dr. Jeykly this week they are in the Drivers seat, Mr. Hide and it might as well be driving Mrs. Daisy and the Bocs home from the post-season.
Left to play: Manlets, Sidewinders, Hollywood, Playboys
EXPECTED RECORD: 8-7

9. Vienne Vikings(6-6) {450}
Remain just on the outside looking in but do own the tie-breaker against the Bocs which could come into play big time but they will need help from the Manlets this week and Hollywood again in a couple. Of course they need to take care of business against the suddenly opportunistic Mamertini and the Lumberjacks.
Who's Next: Legion, Mamertini, Draftniks, Lumberjacks
Projected: 7-8

11. Chuck Norris(7-5) {436}
Yikes Yikes Yikes - lost the one game they most certainly could not afford to and now face two juggernaughts followed by the Manlets who they may have to play while in the midst of a four game skid, certainly not something they wanted to do. They may have nightmares tonight as Milano HB "Welcome to the Show" may have shown them the door as it relates to their post-season chances.
Next Three: Draftniks, Crocs, Manlets, Royals
PROJECTED RECORD: 7-8





NOTE ON THE PREDICTIONS I DO NOT USE THE LEAGUE PROJECTOR, so this is my prediction purely on observation - leaves it more open to being interesting anyway.

GAME OF THE WEEK: Iberian Bocs vs. Misc Manlets
This is a must win for the Bocs they need to cheat borrow, beg and steal to find enough offense to get this one done. The Manlets secondary has proved a little vulnerable this season I think the Bocs score just and I mean just enough to make the end of season strectch exciting.
Bocs 23 Manlets 21

The Bocs - Manlets appears the only truly competative game this week while I could get shocked by one of these other matchups I wont hold my breath.

Crocs 184 Athens 0
Legion 54 Vikings 13
Walter 87 Chuck 14
Warsaw 124 Sidewinders 0
Hollywood 64 Tigers 12
Hague 30 C-Knights 0
Bulls 19 Mamertini 17

Great write-up as always

54:13 ill hand out free beer if we get near that score.

great write up

Thanks for giving us a chance, I do agree that we have seemed kind of Jekyll and Mr Hide at certain times during the season, but we aim to be in the battle for the playoffs until the last game against Cologne, which will be a tough one.

For sure the game against Manlets is a Win or Die for us.
