The end is near! Will someone give us a playoff outlook? I forgot who did it for us last season, but it was very enjoyable reading.

GAME OF THE WEEK - ZETA
Vilnius(13-0) vs. Belarus(12-1)
This should be a knock-down, drag-out fight as Belarus has to do battle with Vilnius and Morgantown in back-to-back games. Vilnius' #1 pass attack and #2 rush attack goes against Belarus' #1 pass defense and #2 rush defense. This game will probably come down to TO's and ST's. Vilnius averages 10yds/KR and 6yds/PR more than Belarus and has 9 ST TD's compared to 0 for Belarus. Vilnius also holds the DTD edge 7-4 over Belarus.
Belarus 27
Vilnius 30
On a side note, Tallinn should be rooting for Vilnius. Since Tallinn holds the tie-breaker over Belarus, if Vilnius beats Belarus, Belarus beats Morgantown, and Morgantown then loses to Chernobyl, Tallinn can slide into the #2 seed.

Playoff Outlook - Zeta
Vilnius(13-0) - The only tough game Vilnius has left is this week against Belarus. Even with a loss, Vilnius would finish 15-1 and have at least the #2 seed, but they should win and finish 16-0 with the #1 seed
Belarus(12-1) - Belarus still has to play Vilnius and Morgantown. Depending on how they do will determine which seed they get(#1 - #4). They will probably lose to Vilnius and win the Morgantown game in OT, finish 14-2 and take the #3 seed.
Morgantown(12-1) - Still has tough games against Belarus and Chernobyl with the potential to finish #2-4(Vilnius owns the tie-breaker over them). The simulator says they drop both of them, finish 13-3 with the #4 seed.
Tallinn(11-2) - Tallinn has no "tough" games left and owns the tie-breaker over Belarus. The Tigers should finish 14-2 and steal the #2 seed.
WhatsaMatta U(9-4) - The Zeta 2nd tier consists of the Fighting Elk, Maribor, and Jefferson City with WhatsaMatta U owning the tie-breakers over the other 2. The only tough game they have left is against Business Time. They should finish 11-5 and get the #5 seed.
Maribor(9-4) - The Tri-force still has tough games against Tallinn and Krakow. The simulator has them dropping both of those games and finishing 10-6 with the #6 seed.
Jefferson City(8-5) - The Bucks have tough games against Morgantown and Chester remaining. They should be able to split those game, finish 10-6 but Maribor owns the tie-breaker so they get the #7 seed.
#8 Seed - Currently Chester(6-7), British(5-8), and Booty Bay(5-8) are fighting for the #8 seed and the right to get their ass kicked by the #1 seed. Chester has the inside track with a 1 win edge, the tie-breaker over Booty Bay, and 2 of their remaining 3 games against weak opponents. British owns the tie-breaker over Chester, but needs to either beat a tough Serbia team or hope for either Mombasa or Spandau to upset Chester.
Vilnius(13-0) - The only tough game Vilnius has left is this week against Belarus. Even with a loss, Vilnius would finish 15-1 and have at least the #2 seed, but they should win and finish 16-0 with the #1 seed

Not really. The simulator actually favors all of those happening.

so it looks like BDM has got a very important decision to make huh? Do they use their temp boosts against us or do they wait and use them against the Biscuits? What a quandary

I've seen no evidence to support this.
