First of all, congrats to all teams making the POs. It's been one exciting regular season for all teams. To make the POs more fun, I took some minutes to do some PO write-ups
Alpha
Brazilian Dirty Sanchez#1 vs. South Otto Fragile Porcelain Mice#8
Well, let's be honest. South Otto had great WL regular seasons with #1 - #3 seeds always as the price, but suffered crushing 1st-Round exits season after season. Well, now you have the opposite. This time SOFPM is the #8 seed and the underdog moving into this matchup, they have nothing to lose and probably the advantage of GN focusing more on Indy than BDS. Expect some serious gameplanning from South Otto, BUT still...they never scored more than 1+ TDs in their last WL PO appearances. Expect greatness with 2+TDs in WL POs by SOFPM, but still BDS by 10
Rush Hour #4 vs. Polk High#5
Let me start with this. I love aaasahi, but I hate RUN-Only teams
. This one will be an intruiging game with snakes handling the O and having a guru DC in Creek. The team that makes the most points out of their minutes will win this game. RH is famous for having the ToP advantage in every game they play. If Polk makes the most out of 25 minutes of ToP and scores as many points as possible, they win by 7.Else it will be an equal and awesome matchup between two unique teams. Rush Hour by 3
Odessa Mojo#2 vs. Burnside Bandits#7
Odessa is on a mission with the most talented squad in zeta facing Burnside. Anything can happen in the POs and Burnside proved that they deserve the place in the POs... But Odessa's D scheme and top 5 Offense will be too much for Burnside. PO Experience will be the main factor here: Advantage Odessa. Odessa by 10
Orlando Prime Timers#3 vs. Port Chester University Demonik Whooping Cranes #6
Avoid TOs and control the clock. Well, RyanCane and his power-Run scheme will dictate this one. Main focus for Port will be to contain JMPs beasty run duo from scoring TDs and moving the chains. If they can get Orlando into pass-mode, Port will have a shot at winning this game. Orlando has the clear advantage here. Orlando by 10
Zeta
Honolulu Hurricane Wife Carriers #1 vs. Massive Dynamic #8
Creek's Mojo will be too much for Massive Dynamic, as a proven Power House in WL with one of the better passing offenses lead by scramblingQBs in recent past, HHWC usually gets the fast lead and lets the D do the rest. But never underestimate a #8 seed, especially with WL 1st Round POs tending to big upsets. Still HHWC by 14 Points
Sunday Funday#4 vs. Indianapolis Gurupies#5 -----------Game of the 1st PO Round
What better game to start the PO round and what tough task to go for a 3-Peat for the Gurupies, facing Bhall with his so called "best remaining shot" to win a WL title. Lead by the motto "Sunday Funday RUNDAY", the O reflects the perfect balance between using pHB runs and passing teams to death. The team that stops the run will have the best chance to win this one. Gurupies won't likely have a chance to reach the number of titles HHWC won with the uncertain future of GLB, but they could be the first team to 3-peat. That's why I think the focus from Gurupie Nation will be delivering a 3rd consecutive title and complete the big 3-PEAT. Will be decided by 3 points, even with the lopsided W by Sunday in the reg.season. Indy by 3
The Dogs of War#2 vs. Miami Red Hawks#7
Great story-line for this one. DoW is a proven winner in the WL and especially with Disa leading the bunch, they are a contender every season in WL. Miami on the other hand made barely the playoffs, pulling of a big W against Texas to get them the 7# seed. Disa is one of the reasons for Miami's WL success as my mentor in Miami's magical 1st WL run in S31. It will be a hard fought game with Nachos most likely be the factor. No prediction here.
Texas Militia#3 vs. Queen City Bobcats#6
Upset alert here. If you think QCB are just lucky to be in the POs think again. Everyone who can turn things around from reg.season to POs like they did in the 1st Round last season, is a serious threat to any team. Facing Texas Militia with AC in charge will be a tough one for them, this game will be decided by the better D performance. Expect a low-scoring game by both teams with some blitzes dialed up from the Texas D to penetrate QCBs passing game. The team with more passing TDs wins this one, and there won't be many in this one. QCB by 2
