Luxembourg Lightning Bolts (16-0) vs Reading Armed Centaurs (8-8)
First meeting: a 57-3 win for Luxembourg in week 2.

A long time has passed since these games, however Reading belongs more in the "out of playoffs" Zeta lump than "in the playoffs" group. They've only scored 47 combined points, going 0-7 against the top 7 teams who were able to remain far more competitive against eachother.

I'm no good at predicting actual scores like our buddy Rich, but I'll call a massive blowout for Luxembourg

----

Red River Ruminats (14-2) vs Flint Hobo (10-6)
First meeting: 91-7 for RRR in week 7

Flint managed to beat London the other week, but RRR hardly flintched this season, demolishing anybody except the top 4 in the conference. Flint does have talent, but I don't expect too much resistance here. This may not be a massive blowout, but if Flint comes anywhere near making this competitive, I'll be totally shocked.

Whitechapel Rippers (14-2) vs Glasgow Cats (10-6)
First meeting: 38-10 for Whitechapel in week 5

In what turned out to determine the 3/4 seeding, Whitechappels OT victory over Wildfire actually ends up giving them, in my opinion, a much scarier first round opponent. Glasgow may have let up against Luxembourg, but I'm not buying it - these guys compete and compete hard. I think the Rippers will put their minds to it, and simply have talent on their side to pull this win off. A double digit victory, I'll say, but neither team can sleep on this game.

October Wildfire (13-3) vs London Olympians (11-5)
First meeting: 84-34 for Wildfire in week 4

It wont be this close again, I'm sure of that. London has been vulnerable - they crushed Glasgow in an early week 3 meeting, but other than that hasn't shown up much this season against the big guys. They'll have the potential to put points on the board, and stop Wildfire drives in their tracks, but can they do either consistently enough to win? This is my own team, so I wont say anything except I think we're a favorite as well.



Zeta seems pretty tiered - the top 4 are poised to meet in the second round, where I think seeds can go out the window. However at this point, the seeds do mean something - the ONLY upset from below in the entire playoffs has been Flint > London, and outside of that game, the bottom 4 has rarely been able to come close to the top 4.

I have a feeling we'll see a combined score line of over 100 points this week, however I have seen some pretty crazy shit in the playoffs in the last 8 seasons, so who knows, hopefully somebody shocks us (and hopefully it isn't London!!!)

thanks for that..... its a shame im wanting your team to suffer an upset.

if we gameplan properly we stand a chance.... our owner has been very busy with offgame issues this year and our OC has also had a busy time with exams etc..... we really need to throw our heads in for this one to give us a chance of doing what our talent demands

It was closer to 85% But I blew some of them bigtime. PrOctowned's computer ones were fun too. This has just been a fun bunch of people to play with.

I'm rootin for ya lol though I'm not running away from another meeting with WF, I just always love the underdogs.

I also like Flint. They'll be tough to stop next year if they can keep it all together. Doubt they'll get passed RRR.

Dunder has intrigued me in alpha... but that's probly cuz he's the only participant on the forums lol. but I expect Lux and DMPC to square off in the championships.

I like the enthusiasm knowname, but the reality of the playoffs is that any team has a shot at beating any other. We are probably a lock for the 1st round game, but after that. We are all pretty much even money.

Go bolts!
