Another week with some really good games in store here. Short on time, so gonna focus on the big games
Lion:
Katanga Diamonds at Band of BrothersGAME OF THE WEEK
#1 against #4 in week 15. Doesn't get much better than that. BoB suffered a tough loss last week against RSW, and lost the chance to snatch #1 from Katanga with a win today. Winning this one will all but guarantee a top-4 spot for Bob. Katanga on the other hand can lock in the #1 seed with a win, and they go in to this game as big favorites with the bookmakers. A win here also means that Katanga will go 16-0 with 99.99% certainty, as their finishing game against Rhein Main is all but won already. BoB will hold on the the #4 spot even with a loss, as they hold the tie breaker against PHP, but there will be scenarios still that could put them outside top-4 if they dont win here. Important game for both squads, should be great to watch for any football fan.
Pick 'Em
Red Sea Wave at Rhein Main Magic Mushrooms
RSW won a tough fought game against BoB last week, and are holding on to the #2 seed. The Mushrooms wont pose a serious challenge, and RSW can go into the week 16 blast against CVH with a 14-1 record.
Burundi Hutu at Cape Verde Headhunters
CVH needs to win this game if they want to keep the chance of #2 alive. Winning here and beating RSW next week is what is needed, and this game doesnt look like much of a fight, more a beating. Burundi doesnt have anything left to play for, and CVH has everything.
White Nile Piranha at Warriors of Anubis
2 former A teams with very different stories. White Nile opted to keep their roster 100% the same as last season, but didnt fare too well. They are now in slow build mode, with more players leaving each day. WoA on the other hand has shown great strength, and are currently locked in at #6 spot with a 9-5 record. The 5 teams above them is the teams they have lost to, some in very close matches. No doubt about who wins today, and it wont be a small win by any means.
Freetown Palookas at Mogadishu Sharks
Freetown had their otherwise so spectacular offense shut down last week, and will be looking to get Lord Jon Snow up in gear again, and the Sharks doesnt look able to defend themselves from this onslaught. Recently gone cpu, the Sharks are the weakest team in the league alongside Trinidad and Ethiopia. Freetown gets a positive record again, and locks in the #7 seed.
Ethiopia Executioners at African Fire
AF can lock in the #8 spot with a win here, and even tho they have displayed signs of weakness this year, Ethiopia shouldn't be more than a chance to test out tactics for the play-offs.
Kilimanjaro Kamikaze at Atlantic Blue Jays
The Blue Jays has to rely on AF to blow it against Ethiopia, and at the same time win their own game to have a chance to grab the final play-off spot. A win here seems almost sure, and then all the Blue Jay fans can do is hope for the Executioners to pull the upset
Elephant:
Richmond Raiders at Trinidad Trojans
Richmond wins
Dakar Dragons at Real Men of GeniusBIG GAME
The Dakar leadership has already let it be known that they dont think they will have much chance here against a strong RMoG team. Not exactly what the fans want to hear, and even if they are underdogs, this could be a closer game than ppl expect. RMoG can lock in #2 seed with a win, while Dakar needs the win to not drop several positions in the table. Dakar will have to think out of the box and surprise RMoG here, and turn overs will have to be on their side.
RMoG wins 34-21
Cairo Cannibals at Cairo CrocodilesGAME OF THE WEEK
A local blast awaiting u´s here, as the Cannibals travel to the other side of town to face their local rivals from the Crocs, in what promises to be a superb game. Both teams are 10-4, and cant afford to loose this one. Neither can get moved out of the play-off race, but a good seed seems more important than ever this year, and a loss here will make top-4 virtually impossible. The Crocs looked to be a certain top-4 team in the beginning of the season, but they have had problems lately, and the Cannibals are by no means underdogs here. Maybe the most even match up on paper so far this season, it could go either way, and both skill, luck and determination will play a big part in this one.
Pick 'Em
Swaziland Semnikati at Lake M'Zumba Cannibals
Good match up here, altho Lake M is favorites by more than a little. Swaziland wont make the play-offs this year, but looks like a force to be reckoned with for the future. Lake M needs this win to keep up with the rest of the 10-4 teams, who totals a massive 6 teams. The Semnikati has proved that they can mess with the big teams, so Lake M has to be on their feet to get this crucial victory.
Lake M wins 46-31
EEORG Bastards at Casablanca White Houses
EEORG gets a 100% win game to play around a bit, before facing fellow 10-4 team Rwanda in the game to close the regular season next week.
Cape Town Shinobis at Rwanda Assassins
Rwanda gets a 100% win game to play around a bit, before facing fellow 10-4 team EEORG in the game to close the regular season next week.
Serengeti Wildebeest at Zimbabwe Black Rhinos
2 teams with nothing to play for. Neither will get relegated, and neither will make the play-offs. Both belong in A leagues in their current state.
Sierra Leone Head Shrinkers at Zanzibar Leopards
The Leopards have been cpu for a while, but still looks to have a chance against SL despite this fact. That says more about SL than about Zanzibar, and things have to change dramatically for the Headshrinkers if they ever want to win 2 games in a row.
