Biggest Gain: Pelicans +4
Biggest Lost: Air Raid -3

Thoughts:

Pretty boring Standings wise this week outside of the 3 way tie at 9 a loss by hookers and a win by any of these could set them ahead of the hookers before the long climb to Air Raid

Here is a hint for handicapping, Sieg is taking this game off so we are going to run a Rom_Fox game plan on offense. I expect we might score 10 points or so.

#1 The Salty Runback vs #20(pro) Rocky Mountain Reapers

Rematch. Salty seems to have it under control now that they have the 1 spot back, better use these game to separate from Hawaii while they can

28-24 Salty

#2 Hawaii Bulls vs #31(pro) Charlotte Panthers

Panthers have been beaten up pretty hard this season but they beat up pretty hard on Hawaii. Can Hawaii get the win when they have had issues vs some of the pro run teams?

30-22 Panthers

#3 Yorickshire Vase Breakers vs #19(pro)Legacy

Legacy is a great team part of the time and part of the time they look horrid. They are pretty up and down and they face a Vase Breakers team who is pretty good, pretty consistently. I have a feeling ugly Legacy shows up and Vase Breakers gets a much needed win to attempt to close the gap

35-28 Vase Breakers

#4 Harrisonburg Bulldogs vs #22(pro) Sons of Anarchy

Anarchy is one of the best 20s bracket teams for pro, not being able to beat an elite team but able to deal with the teams near the 20 bracket pretty well. On the other side you have the always dangerous but completely morale spiral prone Bulldogs. Should be a fun match up and I think Hburg slips by with a win.

24-21 Hburg

#5 Glasgow Rangers vs #38(pro) Hillfield Dinos

Glasgow has slowed down recently compared to the team they were at the start of the season, and they get matched up vs a team that not only beat the team that beat Glasgow but they have a pretty good record vs Journeymen

28-17 Dinos

#6 Lost Lounge vs 51(pro) Hillbilly Coondogs

Tied at 1 a piece looks like the ladder hates ties as they fight for all the marbles. Lost Lounge has been playing a lot better lately and I expect them to take the series.

28-21 Lost Lounge

#7 Air Raid vs 31(pro) Seneca Hands of Fate

Air Raid GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER! That is all.

30-24 Seneca

#8 Atlantic City Hookers vs #16 Sacramento Hornets

The nose dive has begun

30-18 Sacramento

#9 Cobra Kai vs #57(pro) OffTopica Faith

Should be a pretty easy win for Cobra Kai.

30-20 Cobra

#9 Andes Chinchillas vs #49(pro) Killer Konvicts

Should be an easy win for Andes if I dont mess up the tactics again

28-17 Andes

#9 Louisiana Screaming Pelicans vs #54(pro) Blue Ridge Moonshine Club

Round 3, FIGHT!

34-28 Pelicans

#12 Richmond Redskins vs 47(pro) Dallas Djinn

I have a feeling this will be a game richmond should win but lose because of that very fact

28-20 Dallas

#13 Savannah Stingers vs #62(pro) Montana Grizzlies

Stingers are on a roll right now andget a easy team

48-20 Stingers

#14 Berkeley Bowlers vs #23 Chicago Whodats

Flynn is inactive again

38-30 Chicago

#15 DADDY vs #27 Sandy Cheeks

DADDY has climbed back into the top 15 and this should be an easy game for them

30-18 DADDY

Yeah, I would definitely go with the Dinos in this game, we just haven't been the same since about mid-season onwards.

Pretty accurate assessment, tbh. Some of our builds capped out in the important areas about a season ago so we're trying to ride things out and do the best we can. Fortunately our returner is one player who isn't capped out and became the difference in the game. Our D also played pretty well. It was definitely a good game.

Yea you guys looked good today. Andes on the other hand has an inactive online and got counter spammed, not the best start to the day.

i thought I'd warned you I did the offense for this game because Sieg was out and we were going to score 10-14 points (13 is dead on)

legacy is a strong team, those games always seem to come down to morale and toughness and wearing us down unless we can get a lead

I'm really bad at OC but I like trying it and I did my best but alas

our defense was at least solid

we are going through a mass interest tank-fest on our team and coaching staff - not sure what's going to happen going forward

Honestly, this almost happened. We are typically not a great come-from-behind team, especially on days like today where our passing game isn't working. We were down 13-3 and another score probably would've put us away. That's when our return game picked us up (14 points from PR in the 3rd quarter...wow). Once we had the lead we were able to use the extra SP from being a league up to grind it out in the 4th.

We've faced this too. My OC from seasons 1-4 had to hang it up so I took over offense and picked up a DC. Then my DC just didn't have time to do what he needed to do so now I'm trying to do both. Fortunately I have a couple decent base offenses/defenses to pick from. I just have to pick the right base and make a few tweaks.
