1. African Fever v. 8. Quiçama Park Rangers
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=5285&team2=5287
Runner-up champions from the past 2 seasons coming out of AA#3 these 2 teams havea long history. The Rangers have had a tough first season in AAA, but they do have the #1 passing offense in the league. That said the Fever have been the class of the league and I don't see the rangers changing that.
- Fever Win 40-21

2. Tanzania Lumberjacks v. 7. Pretoria Predators
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=2813&team2=5372
Tanzania has gutted out a lot of close games to pull off the #2 seed having only lost two games all season. Unfortunately for them 1 of those losses is to the Predators only a couple weeks back. The Predators have the #2 ranked rushing offense and the Jacks have the 4th ranked rushing offense. In the previous game the Jacks couldn't stop the Preds rushing FB, while their own rushing game got shot down.
- No prediction on my own game

3. Cape Town Crusaders v. 6. Angola Wave
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=5381&team2=5373
Ironically Cape town like the #2 seed lumberjacks find themselves facing a lower seed that beat them earlier in the season. Cape Town's 3 losses are to the seeds higher then themselves and Angola. Cape Town boasts the leagues 3rd best offense while Angola has middle of the roads rankings they do have one of the highest turnover ratios of any team at +45. Turnovers will probably decide this game as it did their last meeting.
- Cape Town might have been sleeping at the wheel before... but not this time. Cape Town wins 28-17

4. Uganda Headhunters v. 5. Ghana Ashanti Empire
http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=2792&team2=5289
Uganda was the favorites last season and were favored to win it all at the start of this season as well. All of Uganda's losses are to top team and usually they were close shootouts. Having just crushed the great and powerful Empire only 2 weeks ago and the fact that eric should be posting this stuff not me (he does a better job).
- Uganda win 50-21

So the 2 and 3 seeds actually lost to their opponents in the regular season. What you guys think?

as much as i would like to say that the Preds are going to come out with the upset, i just can't do it. admittedly we used the temp boosts in the last match up and we just barely pulled it out. it should be a good match up but with no temp boosts i think the favor swings towards the jacks.

lol makes me feel a bit better, but being an eagles fan.... I gotta make sure I do all I can to help a Cowboys fan loose playoff games.

If the Lion conference plays a game and no one is there to watch did the game really happen?

Predators make it into the post season. They are my pick as the "underdog team you want to avoid" at this stage as I think they are poised to pull off a few upsets in the post season.

I think you've said that in about 3 other threads this season. Just know there's about 3 teams in the Lion conference that could kick Mawrak's ass.

We had to do what we had to do to fight for a playoff spot

Up until this season we have been spoiled ... we're not use to fighting to get into the playoffs ... three straight seasons of being promoted will do that to ya & put us behind a little talent wise for this higher level.

GG Predators you guys obviously have a strong base of players, but it does feel good to get past the first round (the jacks had a bad stretch in AA) Best of luck next season to you guys!
