Might as well get a thread rolling for this huge game. Both teams will be 7-0 and the winner will likely be the #1 seed in zeta.

So what are your predictions?

Osaka looks like the winner, that is if they don't screw the settings up again.

Ive played Osaka so many times before and the out come is always not good. New Castle is a great team but I have to go with the OSAKA.

The Seals have played both this year. I see the game as a tossup really. I think the Minotaurs are a bit more balanced than Osaka on Offense, I think Osaka has a bit better Defense. If the Minotaurs stay away from turnovers and the defense does what they need to do, I think the Minos will win. But....just will be a close game. Turnovers will be costly.

Say what?

Osaka Buckeyes 260yds passing per game, 291yds rushing per game

Newcastle Minotaurs 399yds passing per game, 184yds rushing per game

Might as well add the defensive numbers also:

Osaka Buckeyes 205yds passing allowed per game, 37 yards rushing allowed per game

Newcastle Minotaurs 267yards passing allowed per game , 91 yards rushing allowed per game

I didn't base it on stats....I based my assessment on my scouting the offense for both teams during game preparation. It was harder to get a handle on what the Mino's were going to do on offense. Their personnel for rushing/passing are more balanced than the Buckeye's IMO. I knew pretty much what the Buckeye's were going to try to do based on personnel/previous games game planning. I wasn't sure of the Mino's....I only had 1 game to base it on, so it was mostly on personnel versus game plan.

I've got to go with the Osaka Buckeyes

I'm looking forward to the huge game at the end of the season between Osaka and the Gold Coast Marauders.
