Hey guys, sorry for the short write up last week. But it's week 12, and the playoff picture is starting to get a little clearer. Teams are pushing for or falling from the playoff picture. Here is your Playoff Race edition of this weeks predictions!!!
Game Of The Week
Amsterdam Arctic Blast (9-2) @ Grim Reapers (9-2)
Big game this week as these two teams look to stay in the race for the second seed. Right now it's just a cluster at the top with 4 teams all battling for that 2 seed. Grim got back on the right track last week after beating Warsaw, while Amsterdam got a warm up game last week.
In a game that is going down to the wire, Amsterdam sneaks away with a 28-27 win.
Transylvania Bloodsuckers (9-2) @ Warsaw Knuckleheads (8-3
Both teams suffered heartbreaking losses last week, and are looking to right the ship. Warsaw is on the heels of a 3 game skid and are trying to get things going, as they look to get a home playoff game. Tranny is looking to stay as the two seed and keep their chances at having a pair of home playoff games alive. This week is the leagues top passing attack against the leagues top rushing game. In a scoring bonanza, Tranny is going home with a 41-38.
Oklahoma Outlaws (5-6) @ Belfast Mafia (11-0)
Belfast has all but locked up homefield advantage throughout the playoffs after last weeks victory over Tranylvania. Oklahoma's playoff chances aren't looking too good, especially since they face 4 of the top 5 teams in the conference their last 5 games, and the losses the last two weeks to Dublin and Vatra Dornei might have doomed them to sitting home. They are really going to have to step it up these couple games to have a chance.
After this week, their chances will be worse, because Belfast is going to win, 38-17.
London Brawling Tommies (7-4) @ Vatra Dornei Wraiths (4-7)
Vatra is pretty much going to have to win out to have any chance at the playoffs. London on the other had is sitting good right now, but they do have a very tough schedule ahead, still having to face Belfast, Warsaw, and Dublin. Vatra is hurting, but they are through the tough part of the schedule and looking to battle back.
In a "Rick Roll-Never Gonna Give You Up" Upset Special, Vatra Dornei wins, 21-17.
Crimson and Cream Sooner Machine (0-11) @ Basin City Blues (6-5)
Basin City is still right in the thick of things looking for a playoff spot, while CCSM is pretty much just playing for pride, as they have zero chance of making the playoffs. CCSM isn't going to stop the losing streak this week, and BCB wins, 52-7.
St. Louis Storm (6-5) @ Ithaca Space Munkees (2-9)
Ithaca basically has no shot at making the playoffs, and the Storm is still in the hunt. Ithaca is still looking to wreck someones day as they still play the Storm, Blues, and Antwerp from Zeta. The storm doesn't have it easy, still with Belfast and Dublin left to play.
In this one, St. Louis gets one game closer, winning 34-20.
Kilkenny Cannibals (5-6) @ Dublin Drunken Monkeys (6-5)
Dublin is probably the team with the most control over it's playoff chances, as the rest of their schedule is filled with their fellow playoff contenders, while Kilkenny has a very tough schedule, and is really going to have to upset some people to have a chance at the playoffs.
Dublin starts their push for the playoffs with a 28-17 win.
Clydesdale Colts (1-10) @ Wrexham Maelor Brionnfhionn (0-11)
Two teams that have no chance at the playoffs, are playing for pride this week, as Wrexham is still searching for that first win of the season. Clydesdale is looking for win #2 in what has been a disappointing season for them in their first year in the League.
Wrexham is going to get their first win of the season this week, and win 26-21.
