Western Conference
Aabenraa Pirates (11-1) vs. Cream City Crushers (10-2)
This game is the contest to see who will get the 3 seed in the west. The Pirates have a statistical advantage with average effective player level being 2 levels higher. Apparently, neither of these teams find Safeties to be important positions to have depth at....or even fill the roster slot at all. The downfall here is again going to be the single faceted offense of the Crushers. Orlando is very swift, but he can't win games alone. Defenses are too easily created that will shut him down.

Eastern Conference
Red Cloud Juggernauts (6-6) vs. Cincinnati Convicts (8-4)
This week in the East, there were 3 match ups that all have playoff implications and for some reason, this one keeps jumping out at me. I think that the Convicts are a better team overall, but the Juggernauts have the right personnel to make this match up interesting. With a win, the Juggernauts could easily work their way into the playoffs, while a loss will all but ensure they don't make a trip to the post season. I still think the Convicts will pull out the W, but it will be a great game.
