1. #11 Portland Ronin vs #1 Maine Snails - http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/41/26

These teams have played 2 very close Scrims so far this season so this could possibly turn out to be a pretty good game. Since we haven't gotten a #1 vs #2 match-up so far this season, I'm gonna continue pulling for everyone who plays Maine in hopes of closing in on that #1 spot. On paper, Maine has the advantage on both sides of the ball but I'm going to go with the upset.

Prediction: Ronin 10-7

2. #9 Minnesota Reapers vs #2 Doinitin Djibouti - http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/156/59

The Reapers give up a lot of points and they are going up against one of the best defenses out there so far. If this goes anything like the previous scrims so far this season this one won't be close.

Prediction: DD wins 21-3

3. #7 Zorin World Order vs #3 Sunday Funday - http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/36/95

Over the last 4 games, SF has put up 146 points while only giving up only 41. ZWO doesn't have an amazing offense or defense so I don't see them keeping this one close.

Prediction: SF wins big 38-7

4. #8 Rocky Mountain Reapers vs #4 Hub City Hustlers - http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/7/205

The Reapers are imo a top 5 team, but got very unlucky in drawing DD in back to back ladder games. The Reapers have the better offense and defense, but they must slow down the running game of Hub City to win this one.

Prediction: Reapers win 28-14

5. #13 A Good Day to Die vs #5 Hawaii Bulls - http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/161/74

This one could be pretty entertaining as AGDTD has talked some trash about the Bulls in a few threads this season. This is probably a good thing for the Bulls since there trash talk usually back fires and they lose soon after. AGDTD has the better offense outscoring the Bulls so far 295-204 and have taken 2 out of the 3 scrims they have played so far this year.

Prediction: AGDTD wins 17-14

6. #14 Engage with Zorp! vs #6 Points at Dick - http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/125/37

Zorp! has had some of the worst luck so far this year and will most likely miss the playoffs while finishing as a top 15 team in GLB2. These 2 offenses have put up the same amount of points this year(195), but PaD fields a much better defense only giving up 52 points. Zorp! put together the longest winning streak in the game to date with 48 straight wins and I look for them to take this one as well.

Prediction: Zorp! wins 14-10

7. #18 Tampa Bay Belligerent Drunks vs #10 Annapolis Freedom - http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/107/25

The Drunks only big win this season is over #41 South Otto Suppressors. On paper the Freedom should run away with this one.

Prediction: Freedom wins 21-10

I don't think Zorp can finish that high and still miss the playoffs - at least at the time the playoffs start. A couple more ladder games after the season would help. But if Zorp goes 3-0 to finish the season, they're in the playoffs. If they go 2-1 and Funday goes 3-0, Funday and Zorp make the playoffs. Zorp (or Funday) would have to take a "bad" loss to miss playoffs from here - STP and Benitos are good but they're outside the top 50 right now in elo rank. Then again, Gamma.

Zorin is in the same situation. They're super high rank but their league performance is meh. I'm sitting at 10-1 in league play, with a playoff spot clinched, but way lower due to the ladder scheduling/games.

Meh Zorin has a 1-game lead in the WC race, and is currently in 2nd place in their division and will finish there. Zorp is actually last in their division right now.

I guess he'd feel like he kissed his sister, except the sister is really just him wearing a dress.
