Dusseldorf Noobs vs. Hamburg Vipers
Not much to see here. I thought Dusseldorf was going to do much better this season. Shows how much I know.
Prediction: Dusseldorf
Outcome:
Mannheim Spartans vs. Athens Devils
It's a gimme game as Athens holds on to playoff hopes.
Prediction: Athens
Outcome:
Amsterdam Red Lights vs. Barcelona Assassins
It's the game for all of the marbles in Alpha. The Red Lights started the season with all kinds of bravado on the forums but dropped a game to their in-town rivals in game #7, while the Assassins took the lead position rather quietly. Now Amsterdam has the opportunity to show the league that it is them, not Barcelona, that is the best team in the conference.
It's a real even matchup between good offenses and defenses from both teams. Both teams can do it all, so it will be a battle that hinges on the skills of their gameplanners and the builds of their players.
With a Barcelona win they would unofficially clinch the #1 seed in the Alpha playoffs. An Amsterdam win would place both teams at 13-1 into a three-way tie with the Magic Dragons. If that's the case, there no head-to-head matchup tie-breaker, so whichever team leads in overall points scored for the season come out ahead.
This game could go either way, and I don't have a strong feeling for either side to win. Both sides are confident. Amsterdam has scored more points so far this season, so I'll go with that.
Prediction: Amsterdam
Outcome:
Glasgow Vultures vs. Cologne Ghosts
Glasgow can pass, but Cologne can win.
Prediction: Cologne
Outcome:
Stockholm Dynamites vs. Liverpool SEA Fusion
We'll have to see if Liverpool is any better next season.
Prediction: Stockholm
Outcome:
San Marino Falcons vs. Amsterdam Magic Dragons
Gimme, gimme, gimme...
Prediction: Amsterdam
Outcome:
Barcelona Dare devils vs. Norwich Nighthawks
How far the Nighthawks have fallen. Don't think they have much of a chance today, next game, and could possibly lose their last game as well.
Prediction: Barcelona
Outcome:
Helsinki Hitmen vs. South Beach Sea Hawks
Great game here, and the Sea Hawks would love to pull out the upset, but I don't think it happens. South Beach does have a good chance, and I won't be surprised if they win. I just have to pick one team, and for now I think the Hitmen will win.
Prediction: Helsinki
Outcome:
Blackburn Carnage vs. Sexintown Rubbers
Will the Carnage score 255+ in this game? We sure hope so.
Prediction: Blackburn
Outcome:
Birmingham Polipocs vs. Barcelona Panthers
Barcelona is CPU now... like it ever made a difference. Barcelona looks better, but I'll go out on a limb that the CPU status costs them a win.
Prediction: Birmingham
Outcome:
Atlanta 404 vs. Berlin Blitz
Good game here today in Zeta as the playoff picture solidifies. A win for Atlanta here would flip-flop them in my predicted rankings.
Prediction: Berlin
Outcome:
Stockholm Lions vs. Milan Eagles
No excitement here. Stockholm looks better, and can use the game to experiment with their gameplan for next season.
Prediction: Stockholm
Outcome:
Southampton Shadows vs. Jacksonville Jackalopes
Last gimme game before the Jacks get their shot at Blackburn.
Prediction: Jacksonville
Outcome:
Chambersburg Trojans vs. Denver Hounds
The Trojans would like a win today, and looking at the rosters I think they might have a chance. Today is the day that the Chambersburg gameplan has to be solid, or they waste a good opportunity. I think I'll try to predict an upset here.
Prediction: Chambersburg
Outcome:
Reading Armed Centaurs vs. Luxembourg Lightning Bolts
Nashville 615 is now the Luxembourg Lightning Bolts. I always wondered where Nashville was in Western Europe. Don't think the name change is going to help today, but it might help teams forget their Season 6 ineptitude during Season 7.
Prediction: Reading
Outcome:
Baden Bandits vs. Lyon Winemakers
Baden wants a win pretty badly to raise their playoff position. Lyon wants a win to show the conference they deserve 4th place.
Prediction: Lyon
