Phoenix Eagles vs. Molokai Lavastorm
The eagles aren't completely out of the playoff race but they need to win every game to keep the dream alive. The Molokai are just waiting until next season and have reason to be optimistic for sure. Phoenix by 38
So Cal BDC vs. Bikini Island Atomic Surfers
So Cal is riding high after their dismantling of my Michelin Men last week. BIAS is throwing it's collective hands up and that will spell trouble against BDC. Blood is in the water and the boys from So Cal are an alpha predator (no pun intended). BDC by 77
Taylor Bulldogs vs. Fiji Ventures
Taylor is waiting for season 14 and they too have a good shot to come back stronger than ever if they choose to do so. Fiji has had a rough go of it and this week will be no different. Bulldogs by 35
Tasmania Tigers vs. Telstar Rebels
Telstar cannot lose another game, imo, and have a good shot at the postseason. This is a welcome W. Rebels by a full pot
Christchurch Fighting Maori vs. Gold Coast Michelin Men
GCMM has fallen apart over the last few games. The Michelin Men have dropped two league games in a row and a tourney game against a team I would have thought we could compete with. The Tire Guys may be out thinking themselves and that is a bad thing to do this time of the season. On top of the recent woes, GCMM will be facing what many consider the top team in OPL. With some great wins and close losses to great teams around the Pro circuit and WL, the Maori have established themselves as the team to beat in OPLA most certainly. With that said, they have had a few weaknesses exposed and only time will tell if the coordinators at Gold Coast will be able to get anything done. I expect Christchurch to roll but GCMM is hard at work. Maori by 21
Liechtenstein Lycans vs. Eastern European Alliance
The Lycans are on the cusp of securing a post season bid but they are going to have to keep winning to fend off the wolves behind them. EEA is a very good team and can easily steal this game and put some real pressure on the boys from Liechtenstein. I expect the Lycans to win this one in a tough battle. LL by 13
Guam Chamoros Rising Sun Devils vs. USB Rough Riders
Guam put a damper on any hopes of a home playoff game with their loss last week but I know they are still hungry to prove they are a top team and will be working hard to prepare for a scrappy USB team. If the Rough Riders can get a few breaks early they may have a shot here but I expect the Sun Devils to pull away late and win decisively. Guam by 17
Gold Coast Vipers vs. (N.M.I) Pagan Fire Eaters
GCV should be able to keep their winning ways going against N.M.I. but the Pagan Fire Eaters still seem to be hard at work improving and could be the surprise team in the postseason. The Vipers seem too strong today but keep an out for this game replaying in the playoffs. Gold Coast by 24
