I'd say the winner could be the favorite in the Zeta playoffs, (Cleethorpes Dock Wallopers might have something to say about it) but I wouldn't put my money on it as a certainty. I've seen so many favorites go down in flames, and I think there are hidden strings of sim code that helps that happen, I wouldn't be bold enough to say it with confidence.
With that out of the way I think this will be a good game. It's a pretty even matchup, so it boils down to gameplanning and to which way the sim bounces. Whoever wins could just as likely lose a second game if it were played the same day.
So get your popcorn ready...
