What matchups are the Marquee matchups?

I'm too lazy to troll every team's schedule and compare them against the standings so I'll wait till the matchups are listed but I do know that the Bugeaters vs Maneaters matchup is critical. Can Tsavo hold on to take the #2 seed or do they hand the Zombies, a team they've beaten, the #2 seed in the Elephant?

Bugeaters (13-2) play host to Tsavo (13-2) These teams actually met in a scrimmage game after the playoffs last season with the Bugeaters coming out on top 26-9. Scrimmage games don't mean much though and who know's what the game settings were. I'm not sure what the other matchups are, but I can't imagine there is another matchup better than this one, at least from a record stand point.

The Bugeaters are guaranteed the #2 seed and could be the #1 seed with a win and a Rwanda loss. Rwanda is playing 6-9 Ghana, so we are pretty sure that we'll be the #2 seed.

The Maneaters need a win or a Zombies loss to assure themselves the #2 seed. They are tied with the Zombies who are facing the Outlaws (9-6) who are a tougher team than their record shows.

In a nutshell, Tsavo is playing for the #2 seed and Botswana is playing for nothing other than pride.

Good luck Tsavo!! Hopefully that scrimmage game was no fluke.

Btw, I see Elephant as easily being able to win at least 9 or 10 of these.

I think Lion came out on top last season, anyone know what the official was? I was thinking Lion 10-6 or 9-7.

I was thinking it was 10-6.....but not 100% for sure.

This week matchup pits us up and Zambia Zombies....a formidible foe indeed....and yes, thanks for the Props to the Outlaws, Majech!

I have to say my guys are feeling their backs up against the wall and are coming out fighting like mad dogs! I am skeptikal of a victory, but with our guys hungry for a playoff berth, leaving Cape town in our wake today, anything is possible!

The Zombies are the biggest Bugeater fans out there! Nothing says, "Go Bugeaters" like the chance to host another playoff game

Here are my predictions. I don't base this on much, just kind of looking at the games.

Winners
USAORG-too many farm teams for the Monkeez to compete with
Bugeaters-Game of the week, could go either way.
Zombies-The Zombies have more ponies at this point.
Sharks-They can't lose 3 in a row can they?
Coyotes-The Dream are good but one-dimensional.
Gorillas-Playing for their playoff lives, they'll make their case.
Hippos-I'll take 9-6 over 6-9.
Bombshells-Sun City has been fading down the stretch.
Mirage-Mambas new owner gets "welcomed" to APL.
Knights-No STD for the pride of Lion.
Ridgebacks-The will right the ship.
Werewolves-Been playing very well lately.
Bite-Could go either way, but the Bite have has some big wins.
HUSKERS-To hell with the "horn", Snipers are sent out of APL with another loss.
Hurricanes-Finally get to play a team with a worse record.
Khat-Finis their season against a favorable opponent.

Hmm, looks like I have the series at 8-8. See you in the PLAYOFFS BABY!!!!
