Great 1st Round by all teams, only 3 more to go till the title and some amazing games with so many twists to come.

Brazilian Dirty Sanchez#1 vs. Polk High#5
Wow, what better way to reflect Polk Highs first game with this old piece of history lol

Well, it was indeed 25 minutes of possession but who knew that this team put a 50+ burger on Rush Hour, anytime you win this big against a talented and probably the best rushing team in GLB history, you are a legit contender for a title. It’s not a cake-walk in this playoff bracket, but with the tandem of snakes22-hcreek, things can be accomplished easily. But in their way is #1 seed, the Gurupie Nations beauties on profile and on paper, the Brazilian Dirty Sanchez
. The motivation to have two coalition teams playing for the WL title as they did in the Pro Tourney will be big, but focusing on HHWC AND POLK at the same time will be too much to handle. It will be a great match-up and I expect Polk to win the close one. Polk by 3
Odessa Mojo#2 vs. Orlando Prime Timers#3
Hmm, let’s see, both have top ranked rushing Os? Check
Both have blockers at the WR position to seal the edge? Check
Both teams have won WL titles or have experience being in the finals? Check
This match-up is the best one in this round as it has so many twists and turns, both teams want the title badly, both teams played great regular seasons and are always contenders for the title. The more desperate team will win this matchup and my prediction is, the winner of this game will represent alpha for the WL title. With some seasons left for this game, this one is a game you have to see, but it can end up in a low scoring affair if both teams are able to stop the run. This game will be decided by the better D performance and the team with the more rushing yards wins this one. This game is a toss-up and tough to predict. My gut feeling? Odessa by 7, late TD in the 4th Qrt.
Zeta
Honolulu Hurricane Wife Carriers #1 vs. Indianapolis Gurupies#5
Well, this game could be the WL title finale tbh. Winner out of this one will have the best shot of representing Zeta. Let's get the facts. HHWC cruised through an easy first round victory against MD. We all know what great passing game HHWC has been delivering the last decade of GLB seasons, but when they are able to run the ball like crazy, boy o boy. Passing game, led by their kind of scrambling QB who extends plays and avoids pressure, relies on juke/fake WRs and TEs to get open and make the big plays will be a tough matchup for the secondary of Gurupies. But if you think you've seen all from the Gurupies, they'll prove you wrong time after time. They convincingly stopped Sunday's Run game and contained their top RB to a shocking 1.8 per carry
. They know their stuff and they will be prepared going into this matchup. Tough to predict this one, it will be decided in the 4th Qrt. The difference from their last PO match 3 seasons ago: there won't be the best scramblingQB named Reggie Ball in this one Indy by 3 Points
Texas Militia#3 vs. Miami Red Hawks#7
Well, well, well. This one will be an interesting game, indeed. This time the Red Hawks have to travel to Texas and face ACs D in front of the fat home-crowd eating their lovely nachos. Coming from a surprising 33-14 against DoW, the Hawks confidence is sky-high (thanks to couple VAs) and tries to repeat their Cinderella-Run from s30 when they reached the conference championship. But in their way is Texas Militia and last season’s WL runner-up, who would love to get a shot at the Gurupies in the next round. It’s going to be a great game to watch and expect it to be a high-scoring affair by both teams, probably in the 20+:20+ range.
AC, wishing your team best of luck for the game tomorrow. And I still owe you to give me the last game to keep Earth Historicals out of the playoffs.Take care bud
. No prediction here.
