Warrior General Games

The time is here. Let the season 6 zeta playoff predictions begin. I will do my best swift impersonation, which will totally suck, but here I go.




#8. Devonport Devils
vs.
#1. Wellington Assassins

Can anybody knock these cats off? Only Apia got close(selfless promotion), but somebody must be able to, right? Devonport will need an act of God, and unfortunately God will not be on the Devils side in this one. Devonport will need to find a way to better their running game, and utilize their passing attack in an efficient manner if they have any chance of pulling a "NY Giants" upset. Wellington just needs to not screw up, and it's hard to imagine that happening with what they have done over the season. Pinpoint precision should get the assassins through this one 42-17.



#5. Perth Pirates
vs.
#4. Sydney Sea Wasps

This game was a shootout during the regular season, and I don't expect anything less. Running backs might as well stay home and count their money for this one. I think Sydney is pissed about the regular season loss, but am picking the Pirates in an upset here. That is of course if the Pirates fully scout an interesting D that Sydney runs. If they don't account for the angles Sydney's defense takes, their entire gameplan could backfire. The Pirates tell Sydney to bug off. 49-45.



#7. Newcastle Mountain Lions
vs.
#2. Newcastle Dream

Whoever loses should change their name. There can only be one Newcastle. The Dream are fresh off another great season, are fully deep in a "Belichick" situation, and they wonder if they can finally capture a league trophy. The Mountain Lions on the otherhand are a far better team than their record indicates. The Lions should know what is coming, and the Dream aren't going to back down from it. Choo Choo.....will anyone stop this train that has rushed for over 7,000 yards. Unfortunately, I think not. The Dream run their way to another victory. 38-17



#5.DECATUR STALEYS
vs.
#3. Olden Swillers

It's the Bears vs. the Oilers. Maybe? Who knows. But it sounds good. As I flashback to the 1992 Monday Night Football game between these two squads, things painfully become familiar. The Bears don't have a QB, Ditka's blood pressure is through the roof, and this isn't 1985. On the otherhand, Warren Moon is licking his chops waiting to unload his run and gun offense. It's an ugly game for the Bears, as Houston forces 3 turnovers. Houston takes the lead and never looks back in this one. 24-7



EDIT



I almost forgot my annual playoffs music.

Thanks for stepping up and doing these STP.

Excellent writeup!

Thanks for the writeup STP.

One small correction tho. Perth took Wellington to Overtime, so you guys weren't the only ones to come close to beating them. However, you are absolutely right that it will take alot of things happening right (one might say a miracle) for us to pull off an upset of Wellington.

Oops. Sorry about that. I got caught up in trying to follow in swifts greatness that I missed a few details.

Best of luck to everyone by the way.

BTW, that writeup for the staleys/swillers game has the score and stats out of the actual monday night game.

Just hoping Swillers are Houston. I am from Texas and did live in Houston for 10 years, so I will claim Houston.

Well done Pink.

And good luck everyone!

1vs8:
I like devonport to keep this one close, give me the points and I would take the bet, devils are a real nasty game planning team when they put in the time and I really don't think wellington is that much better than the rest of the field, if the devils get a few breaks they could pull this one off.
Wellington 33-Devils 27

2vs7:
Dream runs the ball, Lions dont gameplan well, Dream runs mid 25 and right 50 and wins in a blow out, 34-17.

3vs6:
Staleys have a shot but Olden is too much imo, they can pass and they can run and are good on special teams, I like the Decatur squad but think they are a little out of their league in this one. Olden 33-17

4vs5:
Tough game to call, the Wasps are probably the one team I did not want to play in the 1st round as I respect their gameplanners and their ability to put points on the board, whoever wins will deserve it, Pirates 23-20 only cause I am a pirate.

Redskin cries babies die.

Good luck everyone. (Only not too much luck to Sydney. )

Wasps get a chance to sting the Assassins!!!

Good game Staleys.

Good game Newcastle.
