C = Clinched Playoff Spot
E = Eliminated From Playoffs

Game of the week – PGW vs. Vancouver

So the playoff picture is set with some positioning still left to be determined. It looks as though the following will be our first round matchups (barring any upsets this week):

#1 Triple B’s vs. #8 Canada Dragons
#2 Unsavory Gentlemen vs. #7 North Bay Drift
#3 Genosha X-Men vs. #6 Vancouver
#4 Alberta Irukandji vs. #5 Prince George Warriors

IF Canada is able to upset the PGW there would be a shakeup that would change the playoff picture to something like this:

#1 Triple B’s vs. #8 North Bay Drift
#2 Unsavory Gentlemen vs. #7 Canada Dragons
#3 Genosha X-Men vs. #6 Vancouver Vikings
#4 Alberta Irukandji vs. #5 Prince George Warriors

It should be interesting to say the least!

#1/C Triple B's 13th Cadre 15-0-0 W15

Previous #1
High #1
Low –N/A

They have little chance at losing this game, especially after the way the UG played Alberta last week. This game could get out of hand but I think quzur makes some adjustments from the UG game and keeps it respectable. Prediction – Triple B’s by 35.

#2/C Unsavory Gentlemen 14-1-0 W6

Previous #2
High #2
Low #2

Apparently had a fire lit under their ass. The game plan vs. Alberta was flawless and potential league MVP Bob Boobsrfun was completely shut down. This was a statement game by the UG that they are back to working for wins instead of sliding through. This week they face the FMMP in a throw away game for both clubs. Even with a loss the UG have the head to head win over Genosha. This game could be closer than expected but the UG should still win handily. Prediction – UG by 49.

#3/C Genosha X-men 13-2-0 W9

Previous #3
High #3
Low#3

Crushed the Drift by 30, beating my prediction by two points, Vegas is happy. This week they face the Lion’s…I mean Thrashers in a game that should require no game planning for a 80+ point win. Prediction – Genosha by 84.

#4/C Alberta Irukandji 12-3-0 L1

Previous #4
High #4
Low #6

Were dismantled on all sides of the ball by the UG and goes limping into the final game vs. the Triple B’s. Don’t think for an instant that the entire league wouldn’t like to see a big L in the B’s column. Unfortunately when you go to college and pretend to be a high school player you will definitely dominate. Prediction – B’s by 35.

#5/C Prince George Warriors 11-4-0 W3

Previous #5
High #4
Low #6

Played in one of the better games of the season this past week as they barely slipped past the Vikings. This week they square off vs. the Canada Dragons in a game that should be just as exciting. I still put my faith behind Demarcus Zippo, one of the top 5 quarterbacks in A5. Prediction – PGW by 17.

#6 North Bay Drift 8-7-0 L1

Previous #6
High #6
Low #13

Played an excellent game vs. Genosha but did not have the firepower to hang with them. The Drift have no chance at losing this weeks game vs. Chilliwacked and with the win will secure their playoff spot as they have the HTH win vs. Rancho. Prediction – Drift by 63.

#7 Canada Dragons 9-6-0 W1

Previous #8
High #7
Low #9

Dominated F Hockey in a game I expected to be much closer, and to be honest, a L for Canada. They wrapped up a playoff spot with the win and now look toward an improved playoff position with a W vs. PGW. Don’t expect it to happen this week as PGW will prove too much for the Dragons. Prediciton – PGW by 17.

Previous #8
High #7
Low #9


#8 Vancouver Vikings 9-6-0 L5

Previous #7
High #4
Low #9

After losing 6 of their last 7 games the Vikings have a cupcake for their final game. Unless the gods of GLB want to screw them royally, they should easily win this game and secure a playoff spot. A loss, believe it or not, could bring in a 4 way tie if Rancho defeats Manitoba. Yeah its fun to analyze but it definitely won’t happen. Prediction – Vancouver by 77.

#9 Rancho Penasquitos Thunderbolts 8-7-0 W1

Previous #9
High #7
Low #9

Rancho would need a miracle of epic proportions to ever make the playoffs. The early season 7 point loss to the Drift cost them a playoff spot this season. They face off against a Manitoba team who is looking to break even on the season. This will be one of the better games of the week to watch but it serves little purpose. Prediction – Rancho by 17.

#10/E Fort McMurray Mounted Police 5-10-0 L1

Previous #10
High #10
Low #13

Played a heartbreaker vs. Rancho and showed some of the hootspa I expected early on. This week they face off against the UG in a pride game that gives them a chance to go out with a bang. Unfortunately that bang will be the UG putting a few more rounds in their lifeless bodies. Prediction – UG by 49.

#11/E Manitoba Lions 7-8-0 L1

Previous #12
High #4
Low #12

The Lions pounced the helpless Carebears, honestly though, who hasn’t. They move up one position based on the fact that the Demos could not get the job done vs. Canada. This is another team playing in a pride (no pun intended) game as they head to Rancho. It could be a good game but I think they Thunderbolts are more prepared at the moment. Prediction – Rancho by 17.

#12/E Fhockey.com Demos 5-10-0 L1

Previous #11
High #11
Low #13

I expected the Demos to pull off the upset vs. Canada but it wasn’t in the cards. This week they play Ste. Marie in a game that should be as exciting as watching paint dry. Prediction – Demos by 84.

#13/E Saskatchewan Thrashers 4-11-0 W1

Previous #13
High #10
Low #13

The best of the worst, the Thrashers have the unlucky draw of facing the X-Men in their final game of the season. It won’t be pretty but it honestly matters little. Prediction – X-Men by 77.

#14/E Sault Ste. Marie Harbingers 2-13-0 L3

Previous #14
High #14
Low #14

The most consistant team in A5, they have safeguarded the #14 slot since day 1. They will be pummeled by the Demos this week. Prediction – Demos by 84.

#15/E Chilliwack Care Bears CPU 1-14-0 L11

Previous #15
High #15
Low #16

CPU, nuff said.

#16 the queen's angels 0-15-0 L23

Previous #16
High #15
Low #16

Would be more effective as CPU, nuff said.

I wonder who will get caught in the any given Sunday feature that seems to rear it's ugly head at playoff time? Never fails one high seeded team will lose to a much lower seeded team as Bort has some kind of any given sunday script in the sims.

Wish Druez was still here so we could have some more comedy and a few lows blows but it is still great. Appreciate it!

Man, what a great read! Always look forward to the predictions.

Thanks for doing these. One thing I want to mention is that you referred to me as the offensive coordinator of Alberta and I relinquished that posiiton earlier in the season. Uchiha91 is the new offensive coordinator and I say he's done a good job going 9-2 since he's taken over. He will definitely have the offense ready to go.

Uchiha91 is your offensive coordinator? Really? I now know what you are going to do. You are going to run the ball. http://www.mangashare.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8920 Uchiha are masters in the Art of Run.

Not so sure about the rankings kicking ass. He's always wrong on his Dragon game calls. I hope he's picking them to lose again.
