Well we've finally made it to the playoffs. Congrats to everyone who managed to make it and good luck to everyone.
First round matchups:
Alpha:
1) Greenwood Alley Cat vs 8) West Country Wyverns
2) Manchester Mob vs 7) Dublin Saints
3) Eurotrash Bat Farm vs 6) Steel City War Machine
4) Armagh Rally vs 5) Bonn Dynamo
Zeta:
1) MA Trolls vs 8) Berlin Ballers
2) Arhus Features vs 7) Aarhus Stingers
3) Adriana Lima Beans vs 6) Inverness Highlanders
4) London Hitmen vs 5) Birmingham Cardinals
I don't know much about the Alpha conference so I'll abstain from making predictions regarding them, but I do think Armagh v. Bonn will be a great game.
As far as Zeta, I think all the favorites will win, but Adriana v. Inverness will be close.
We (the Ballers) get the lucky task of facing the Trolls in round 1. As a team we were struggling with energy about halfway through the season and decided to use the Trolls as our game to rest a lot of guys and get healthy again. Predictably, they whitewashed us 56-7. But hey, we were the only team to score a TD on them in their last 7 games so that's something we got going for us I guess.
As a team we struggled pretty badly on offense most of the year, and unless we can trade for someone like Lex Arthur before this game I don't think we'll be able to keep up. But we'll still give it our best shot. Our running game has potential to be good every once in a while.
Our defense has been healthy for the first time in a while. Magnus has been at 90+ energy for the first time since the beginning of the season the last 3 games, and he's been back to his normal self. I can't promise our entire team will show up, but he definitely will. Hoping for a Magnus pick-6 7-0 win, but expecting something more like a 28-10 loss
