Lion Conference:
African Fever VS. WWR:
The Fever made sure to take care of Red River last game.. but now it's time for them to step up to the plate.. good news is they already have their playoff position locked in.. bad news is that the Rhinos have only given up 3 points in the last 4 games! I'll take the Rhinos by 30 here (sorry Fever it's not that I don't like your team.. I just don't like your chances)!
Tanzania Lumberjacks VS. Red River Ruminants:
Red River is coming to the end of a roller coaster season.. they've had some tough games and a few I'm sure they wish they could have back... While the Lumberjacks just wish they could forget the whole thing.. I can already here the music playing for Tanzania.. everybody sing along.. na na nana na na nana.. hey hey hey... RRR by 35
Sahara Storm VS. Swaziland Semnikati:
This is definitely the best game in Lion this week.. both teams are locked into home playoff games... but surely there are some bragging rights on the line here!! While Sahara has taken the league by "Storm" (I know it's corny but admitted you chuckled) Swaziland has just been quietly going about their business... well the nothing to see here approach ends today.. Swaziland by 6!
D9 VS. Angola Dream:
I'm sure they're still smiling in Angola after the last win.. but I'm sure they won't be after this game.. good news Dream you'll be back next season.. bad news is you're about to get rolled by a giant appetizer! Shrimpies by 80
Tanzania Mountaineers VS. Carthaginian War Elephants:
The War Elephants roll into Mountaineer Field coming off a tough victory over the Headhunters.. and really have nothing left to gain.. it's either a 5 seed or a 6 seed for CWE who have quietly worked their way to the playoffs in their first season in APL.. 11-5 is a great first season guys!! Elephants stampede by 35
Rwanda Headhunters VS. Sahara Sand Monsters:
Alright Headhunters.. it's really simple math for you.. win and you're in.. no need to worry about crazy potential tie breakers with the Nightmares, RRR, Silverbacks.. good news is that the other Sahara is on cruise control and I'm sure their out recruiting right now for next season! Headhunters get a win by 17.. and their reward.. a date with the Rhinos in round 1
Nigeria Nightmares VS. Zambezi Silverbacks:
Both of these teams are going to be full of would've, could've, should've this offseason..The Nightmares are about to end a wicked stretch that has seen them get slapped around like a red headed step child (legal note: neither Salesman or GLB condone child abuse.. even if it is somebody else's child)! I don't even think that the Silverbacks sleep.. so there will be no Nightmare today.. Zambezi by 10
Quad Cities Quarantine VS. Johannesburg Jackals:
After 7 games these two teams had combined for 1 win.. but the Jackals had a big motivational retreat with Tony Robbins and looky looky.. they've earned a playoff spot.. take this week off and go buy some cocktail sauce for the round one playoff game that PP didn't want to see!! JJ by 80
=============================================================================
Elephant Conference:
Egyptian War Gods VS. Sons of Anubis:
Wow... that's all I can say.. Sons went from controlling their own destiny to a tail spin.. War Gods come along just in time to right the ship before it's playoff time!! SoA by 24
Somalia Warlords VS. The African Predators:
The Predators do control their own destiny.. win and you're.. hmm I don't even know right now.. but I'm sure that the Warlords would like nothing more then to play spoiler here.. and since the Predators have admitted to be able to win at any time and lose at any time.. I'll take the Warlords in the spoiler.. by 3
GRiTS VS. AFF:
Good news GRiTS.. it's time to put the bottom back on that fell out 3 games ago.. I'm sure GRiTS are still shaking their heads but AFF comes along just in time to get one more win and focus on their playoff game (yep that was intentionally singular)! GRiTS by 68
SS Huskies VS Pirgos Warlords:
Well done Warlords.. after coming into APL with all of that hype about your team.. you've shown that you are indeed for real!! This game will be like walk through practice for you.. sorry Huskies but you just weren't ready. I am sure that you'll be back in APL before long though.. Pirgos by 38
Uganda Mounties VS. Choctaw Cracker Party:
If you had told me at the start of the season that the Cracker Party would only have one win this season.. I would have called Bull Shit! And just like a lot of my other predictions I would have been wrong (no snickering Forbin).. I'd like to give them one more for the Gipper .. but just don't see it.. Mounties win 10
Carthage Clash VS. Mauritius Mountain Lions:
Barring the upset of the century.. it looks like hays and the Clash have snagged the #1 seed.. I'd like to come up with something clever but even the Lions know they're in for a beat down! Clash by 55+
*Kickin Djibouti VS. Nairobi Warthogs:
*one of two games of the week*
The Warthogs are playing as well as anybody right now.. but then again so is Kickin! The Elephant Conference has one crazy jumbled mess of teams.. with only 2 games seperating teams 1-9! This could potentially make it even worse... but I don't know that it will.. I'll take the Warthogs in a defensive battle 41-38
*Rhodesia Ratels VS. Swaziland Dachshunds:
*the other game of the week*
Wow.. both teams sit at 10-5 and both teams are on the brink of elimination from the playoffs... last game the Ratels took care of business lead by Ben Cannon completing 1/3 passes.. while in a different stadium the Dachshunds were getting rode hard a put away wet by the gay cowboy Jack Twist.. They won't have to worry about that happening again this game.. mostly because Jack Twist doesn't play for the Ratels and even if he did I don't know that they would throw the ball to him.. Ratels made a mess out of the playoffs with their win last game.. now they can go home.. Did you know that Dachshunds are actually built the way that they are to flush out badgers and other burrow-dwelling animals (like maybe nasty little rodents)! Swaziland makes the playoffs 30-17!
African Fever VS. WWR:
The Fever made sure to take care of Red River last game.. but now it's time for them to step up to the plate.. good news is they already have their playoff position locked in.. bad news is that the Rhinos have only given up 3 points in the last 4 games!
