BBE vs Carthage: Carthage is a team that has underachieved all season. They are actually a 57 and BBE a 54, but probably has something to do with BBE playing what amounts to a HB at QB2. Carthage has only one victory against other Playoff teams, the 7th seeded Revenge. For whatever reason Carthage has not run the ball very effectively this season against other good teams. Their passing game is good but not overpowering.
It was 13-42 in regular season--I think this one will be closer but BBE will still roll.
BBE, 38-17
Algeria Vs Gunston:
For Gunston to have success they need to pressure the QB. On the year Gunston is second in conference with 73 sacks; Algeria's pass protection is 11th, having given up 33 sacks on the year. Gunston is a good running team and Algeria is only average. If Gunston can run the ball consistently on offense and get pressure on Algeria in passing game on defense they can reverse their 17-37 regular season loss. The thing is...Gunston's game plans are often lacking and don't match the talent off the players. Still, I think I can see an upset here.
Gunston 27 Algeria 24
Mummy and Revenge: Mummy really impresses me and could challenge BBE when all is said and done. They have a balanced offense and can run or pass effectively. The Revenge, on the other hand, have a good running offense but a tepid passing game. The Revenge Defense, however, boosts the most potent pass rush attack with 122 sacks. Mummy D is third in conference with 18 INTs to 13 for Revenge. Mummy returned 7 INTs for Tds. Those kind of plays can kill you, especially in Playoffs. I think the running game of Revenge will keep this one close in first half but the Mummy will wear down the Revenge in the second half and force a couple of game breaking turn overs. The Regular Season matchup of these two was close, with Mummy sneaking away with a victory at 24-10.
Mummy: 31 Revenge: 17
Toros vs Magic: These two teams have a history and have gone back and forth over the seasons. Toros have been one of the top teams this year but can they continue that into the Playoffs? Toros have a great passing game, with one of the WRs in Limas Limas Sweed, but also a great catching HB in Shock Therapy II, and a good TE in Kellen Winsalot. Spanky Bates, their QB, had a QB rating of 115 and threw for over 5,000 yards--that's impressive. Magic have a good passing game as well, but not as explosive overall as Toros. Both teams have protected their QB well. The Toros running game also is potent, and their 6.4 ypc is best in conference. Magic also have a good running game but again, not as potent as Toros. Defensively, Magic has produced more big plays. Magic have 44 sacks while Toros are near conference bottom with 23. And Magic are tied with BBE for most INTs with 23 and returned 6 for TDs. Toros also have made some big INTs with 18 and 6 for TDs. Both teams are sure tacklers, both near the bottom in missed tackles. Edge has to go to Toros due to their powerful offense, but I think the Magic game plan will produce enough big plays to offset that offensive explosiveness. In a reversal of their regular season matchup, won by Toros, 30-13...
