Eastern Conference Top 4

1.) Kingston Dark Knights

Record: 12-0

Key Wins: Lethbridge Fighters (29-24), Lincoln Lucky (37-17), New Brunswick Bombers (82-51)

Key Loses: None

Last 4 Games:
Sackville Blitz (12-0) - Win - 2 more days and it is finished! IMO the KDK win by at least 2 TDs. I can't wait to hit the forum after this game
Toronto Storm (9-3) - Win - The Storm beat kapones team who put up 51 on KDK, but I don't see them getting close
KK (7-5) - Win - KK is known for some big upsets....but not here. The win streaks continues....35 and counting!
Northern Lights (3-9) - Win - I see a 255-0 win here...Knudlen gets the day off as the off is in cruise control

My Thoughts:
Jan. 26th will determine it all in the East! KDK puts GLB's 5th longest win streak to the test vs the mighty Sackville Blitz. Since giving up a season high 51 points to Kapones team KDK has pitched 3 straight shutouts!!! As good as the Blitz are I don't see them winning this game. KDK make it over their toughest hurdle and march all the way to the Championship Game!



2.) Sackville Blitz

Record: 12-0

Key Wins: Lincoln Lucky (45-27), New Brunswick Bombers (83-10)

Key Loses: None

Last 4 Games:
Kingston Dark Knights (12-0) - Loss - This game will decide the #1 seed in the East. As you can tell from the Forums the Blitz really, really don't like the Dark Knights. Jan. 26.....where will you be?
British Columbia Fighting Bettas (0-12) - Win - Blitz rebound with a stat padding game
Kitchener Krushers (0-12) - Win - Back-2-Back stat padding games....hope their ready a Storm is coming next game!
Toronto Storm (9-3) - Win - The Storm proved they are a top 4 team by taking care of Kapone, but the Blitz are a totally different animal.

My Thoughts:
The Blitz are 12-0 and IMO still the clear #2 team in the East. We have all been waiting for Jan. 26 to see who is the clear #1 team. Despite me picking KDK to win the head-2-head match-up I still think the Blitz are a fearsome team. I know I sure as hell would not want to face them in a Championship Game! I am very excited to see the final game match up vs The Storm. These guys have been playing well and could give Sackville a scare.



3.) Toronto Storm

Record: 9-3

Key Wins: New Brunswick Bombers (62-34), WMD Ballers (33-20), Lincoln Lucky (30-27), KK (40-37)

Key Loses: S.W.O. Swamp Donkeys (27-30), Westlake Rams (17-34)

Last 4 Games:
Sacramento Terror (3-9) - Win - Nice warm up game before the KDK game
Kingston Dark Knights (12-0) - Loss - Good Luck!
British Columbia Fighting Bettas (0-12) - Win - Stat padder
Sackville Blitz (12-0) - Loss - I can see this one being an upset. This will be a fun one to watch!

My Thoughts:
The Storm make my Top 4 list after a very impressive win over the Bombers. Ignite has his team rolling, but he still has to play the top 2 teams in the league. Can you play the role of the NY Giants and take down the Pats? I don't think so, but that doesn't mean I don't think this team good. The Blitz game has me screaming upset, but I can't call it yet.



4.) WMD Ballers

Record: 7-5

Key Wins: Lincoln Lucky (26-19), KK (31-24)

Key Loses: Kingston Dark Knights (7-73), Sackville Blitz (10-58), New Brunswick Bombers (24-27), Toronto Storm (20-33)

Last 4 Games:
Sackville Waterfowl (1-11) - Win - Stat padding game, must win game up next!
Westlake Rams (8-4) - Win - Westlake has the better record, but I see WMD winning this thriller
Grand Banks Bluenoses (6-6) - Win - Should be a win vs a solid team that just hasn't played well this year
St. John's Pistons (4-8) - Win - Another easy win heading into the playoffs.

My Thoughts:
At first glance these guys don't look that impressive. They only have 2 key wins and have 4 losses vs better teams. I see these guys clicking right now and winning out. IMO they have the easiest remaining schedule. The only team I see tripping them up is Westlake. I think WMD wins that one and finishes the year 11-5. I would hate to play them if I am a higher seed (except KDK). I thought the same about Lincoln last rankings so I could be wrong again, the East is crazy right now!




Notes:
- the 3-8 seeds are all very close. I think almost all will finish 11-5 and we will see a lot of Tie Breakers come into affect. You boys better be scoring some points.
- The Bombers drop out of my Top 4 after 2 straight losses. Here is what I posted in my last ranking...
The Bombers have a good team, but they have played nobody this season except Dark Knights and gave up 81 pts to them! i can see at least 2 more losses this season for the Bombers. The rest of their schedule is pretty much vs playoff teams, time will tell where they stand!




This is just my opinion and for fun, so enjoy!

Great write up! WMD is a tough team, they came on strong last year at the end too. You could make an argument for New Brunswick, KK, Westlake or Lincoln Lucky at that #4 spot. But WMD has the 5 game win streak and are always over-achievers. If Kapone can solve his defensive ailments he could reclaim it. Maybe he's going to have to run some cover 2 and cover 3 zones just to slow the other team down and stop the big play.

yea, I had a very hard time picking the #3 & #4 team in the East. Storm, Bombers, Rams, KK, Ballers, Lucky are all right there. They all have been beating up on each other. Those 2 spots will probally rotate teams in and out until the end of the season. I think WMD is getting hot and have the easiest schedule left. We will see, the Lucky and Rams games will be good to watch.
