Alpha take on Zeta for conference bragging rights - who has the edge?
Knossos Minotaurs vs Wales Whales
Meaningful clash for two top tier teams - Knossos want to secure homefield, Wales are playing for Zeta pride.
Prediction: Knosso 21-17
Montcuq Beserker Trolls vs Spaniard Quebrantaguesos
Another huge clash between top tier teams, as arguably the best team in Zeta take on the offensive powerhouse that is the Trolls.
Prediction: Montcuq 27-21
Vice City Crack Whores vs Hjorring Rhinos
with the #1 seed wrapped up, will Vice City take it easy on one of Zeta's cellar dwellars? Not likely!
Prediction: Vice City 38-3
Yorkshire Knights vs St Michael Blicas
Yet another game in which the Blicas enter as underdogs, Yorkshire should favour this matchup with nothing to play for - even if Dorset and Black Watch lose, unless they score 100+ points more than Dorset, they cannot increase their seeding.
Prediction: Yorkshire 27-3
Seville Naranjas vs Glasgow Manglers
Another top Alpha team takes on a lowly ranked Zeta team who have shown that they do have fighting spirit the last few games. Don't expect an upset, but its not impossible.
Prediction: Seville 44-3
Dorset Stampede vs Antwerp Jokers
With Dorset all but guaranteed at least the #6 seeding, Antwerp visit the Alpha team needing a victory and a Lyon loss to progress further. Dorset are buoyant after a win over Knossos last game, can Antwerp laugh past Dorset to the playoffs?
Prediction: Dorset 17-14
Black Watch vs Turin Blue Jays
The Turin Blue Jays seem doomed to relegation as Black Watch meet them in the final regular season game. Expect stud HB Tony Dorsett to rack up some serious yardage, and secure his top 3 spot in rushing yards.
Prediction: Black Watch 55-3
Fareham Demons vs Yorkshire Rippers
This should be a good game, as Alpha's #8 meet Zeta's #7 - possibly an acid test of depth of quality in each conference. Expect this to be a close game, with the turnover battle deciding the victor.
Prediction: 20-13 Yorkshire
Hamburg Likedeeler vs Berlin Thunder
With both team out of the playoffs, the teams play for conference bragging rights. Hamburg are a tough cookie, but the Thunder are not a team that just rolls over.
Prediction: Berlin 24-17
Rennes Corsairs vs Copenhagen Armadillos
The Armadillos meet an Alpha team that narrowly missed the playoffs, and took Montcuq to the brink last game. Rennes look to be a step ahead of Copenhagen, and are favourites to take this game for Alpha.
Prediction: Rennes 27-12
Barcelona Razorbacks vs Munchen The Fearless Lion
Munchen have been contenders on a consistent basis for Zeta, and meet a Razorbacks side oozing unfulfilled potential. Unfortunately, this comes too late for Barca to discover form.
Prediction: Munchen 30-9
Messina Blazers vs FF-FD Satellite
The Satellites need to win to avoid relegation and face a Messina side that could have caused an upset against Yorkshire last game. The Blazers want to end the season with a victory, and that should be within their grasp here.
Prediction: Messina 21-13
London Royal vs Bergen Black Bears
The Black Bears look to go on a rampage here, meeting an Alpha team that has been struggling like a wounded animal for the bulk of the season. The Royals are however, coming off a rare victory, and will hope that they can pull off the huge upset.
Prediction: Bergen 41-9
Vatican City Popes vs Lyon Loups *LFU*
The Wolves (?) of Lyon are stalking the Popes, and the Loups need the win to guarantee the playoffs.
Prediction: Lyon 59-3
Dublin Destroyers vs Bath Killer Bees
Someone better have an adrenaline shot on standby, because the Destroyers are about to get stung
Prediction: Bath 52-7
Flying Monkeeh Armarda vs Stirling Crusaders
'Judy' needs a win to avoid relegation, and go to Scotland to face a Stirling team on a mission. Expect the Flying Monkeeh's to turn up, but an upset here is less likely than Elvis turning up alive and well living in the Florida Keys.
Prediction: Stirling 76-3
Alpha: 9
Zeta: 7
