Live from the sun-kissed beaches of the Seychelles, today's game will feature two teams who chose different routes to the championship game.
Richmond took the path less traveled, and won three road games on their way to the Elephant Conference title. This year's Pride Of The Pachyderms marched through Casablanca, Tunis and Mogadishu on their way to the title game. They can thank their stingy defense for getting them there.
If there were doubts before the playoffs that Seychelles would host the title game, the Sea Wolves weren't listening. They ran rampant through the Lion bracket, with a thirty point romp through the first round being their closest game. On paper, they would seem the odds on favorites to win the title, but we don't play on paper; we play on computer monitors.
I like a close game here, one that will be decided late. While I feel that a Richmond victory would hardly be an upset, I would set the line at Seychelles -7. I've never been one to bet with my head, so I'm calling the upset in the title game. Four in a row on the road will lead Richmond to the gold trophy.

Good luck to all the participants, and congratulations on your conference titles.
