ALPHA CONFERENCE
ROTTERDAM RAMPAGE vs. TEXAS CITY STORM
ACCURATE
--The Rotterdam Rampage roll into the playoffs winning their last 12 games. Texas City comes into the game on a three game losing streak. They managed to make the playoffs holding off a Sentinals team that was on their heels. I can't give Texas City much of a shot in this one.
Rotterdam WINS
DIAPER VIPERS vs. Babylonian Blitzkrieg
NOT ACCURATE
--These teams are very evenly matched on paper. Both teams look like they could win this game. Both teams are equal level in players. They both look to be decent teams. I think the Vipers offense may be too much for the Blitzkrieg to handle and will do just enough to win this game.
Vipers WIN
WHISKEY RIVER WRANGLERS vs. CHERNOBYL CHUDS
ACCURATE
--The Whiskey River team held the number one spot until a resurgent Rotterdam team took them down and started on their winning streak. The CHUDS made the playoffs on a bit of a down note losing their last two games. The CHUDS are equal to the Wranglers on a couple of levels, but they fall way behind in some key areas as well.
Whiskey River WINS
NIZHNY NOVGOROD BULLDOGS vs. MINSK FIRE
ACCURATE
--Minsk has made great strides since last season and the Bulldogs have kept on tracking like they normally do. They are good week in and week out and they can be in any game. Although I think Minsk is just over matched in this game.
Bulldogs WIN
ZETA CONFERENCE
BARCELONA CHUPACABRAS vs. CRETE MINOTAURS
ACCURATE
--Barcelona ended the regular season on a high note winning their final regular season game in route to an undefeated season the only undefeated team in the league. Crete rolls into this game winning their final game to just keep out the Stalkers from the playoffs. Crete is heavily outmatched in this game, but Barcelona has had an issue with winning in the playoffs. I think they can reverse this trend starting with this game.
Barcelona WINS
ATHENS GODS vs. SOPRON STARS
ACCURATE
--Athens comes into this game on a six game winning streak while Sopron limps in losing their last game. Athens is known for winning in their underdog role, however here they are the favored team. Sopron has not yet proven they can win the big game. They lost to the top teams throughout the regular season and were unable to pull an upset. Sopron wins when they are supposed to win. Athens can pull out a win at any time with great game plans.
Athens WINS
BOSTON PIGGERS vs. JUSTICE LEAGUE
NOT ACCURATE
--Boston comes into the playoffs on a disappointing final loss to Barcelona. They were 15-0 headed into that game and a few turnovers really cost them. They need to be prepared though because Justice League is one of those teams that may be able to pull an upset. I haven't picked an upset at all as of yet, but this game is very intriguing to me. If Justice League does their homework and Boston still has a hangover from the Barcelona game, I think Justice may be able to pull off the upset here, but I won't. The Piggers are just that good.
Boston WINS
RIVER CITY RANSOM vs. RAMMSTEIN RAMPAGE
ACCURATE
--River City comes in on an eight game winning streak with Rammstein losing the last 3. I think everyone in the league would love to see an upset here and have Rammstein close the door on the RCR team. However, I think they are far too outmatched in this game to be able to pull off the upset.
River City WINS
