Thanks for doing this!
Would love to prove you wrong here but SST is everything you say.
No excuses from Shoreline we will be ready.
If we get clubbed again it will just be because we faced a better team.

Good luck everyone.

Thanks
Jim


I'm set for you.

CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS:

Western Conference

#2 Deadwood Undertakers at #1 Sic Semper Tyrannis
Undertakers used a mini-helmet and got beat by 40 (43-3) in the regular season game.
SST comes in with their longest winning streak having surpassed their previous long of 48 (currently 49 - good job, impressive!!!). As much as I'd like to pump up the Undertakers and give them a good speech no one has come close to knocking the mantle free from SST and I don't see that changing this week. SST will jump out early and not have to look back. The scary thing about that regular season meeting was the Undertakers held SST to five FG's - if those turn into TD's it will get real ugly early. I will throw out a BIG if - "if" Deadwood can establish a ground game early, keep that SST O off the field, and put points up they could make it interesting.

Make no mistake - not trying to put the Undertakers down as they've had one fine season and have a fine team. It's more of how SST has been dominate over similar EL and APV's.

SST 45 Undertakers 6
-------------------------------

Eastern Conference

#3 Foy Destroyers at. #1 Porto Alegre Smuggler Academy
PASM used a PAD in week six and got the 24-14 win.
I wouldn't call Foy beating 'Cuse an upset even though a lower seed. Same reason I wouldn't call Foy beating Porto an upset. However, I'll not go that route as I would like to see some more out of the Destroyer offense and it hasn't been there all too often in the big games - yeah yeah, D wins championships and Foy's D has been stellar. I just think Porto can bring the same kind of D and will put up a few more points with their balanced attack - just enough to get a big play or two that will mean the difference in the outcome. Put them women and children to bed as this one ought to be a barn burner.

PASA 17 Foy 15

Good luck to all four remaining teams on Thursday.

Thanks for the write ups, MK22. It is exciting to see other people's view points.

It would surprise me if a repeat of our regular season match occurs again. Deadwood are a solid team and played most of the season coming out of a hole with a chemistry hit. I hope whoever watches the play by play in the PASA/Foy match takes an aspirin before watching. I agree with the prediction of a close one.

Foy, Cuse, Porto were neck and neck all season. Hoping Porto scrapes by again.

and... Go Deadwood!

Wow, I didn't even know DW had a rushing QB. Sweet little game plan.

Good to see both my CC predictions be completely off - anyone want me to do their taxes?

Deadwood Undertakers (17-2 - West #2 Seed) at Foy Destroyers (17-2 - East #3 Seed):

The smoke has almost cleared as Semi Pro Casual Elite #1 has nearly completed season 33. The lone Championship game remains and it will pit the Deadwood Undertakers against the Foy Destroyers. Thought I would throw something together to at least say I did the entire playoffs for the season. Now, it only my team had the same motivation!!!!
=======================================================
ROAD TO THE TITLE

Undertakers - Had a very difficult road to travel with games against Blatz Beer, YPT, and against SIC (who had a 49 game win streak going and were the defending champions from Elite last season (DW lost to the title game last season to SST)). No game they played was easy but one thing I notice is this team has just gotten better and better with each playoff game: round 2 they beat a very good YPT team by 27 and in the CC they bounce back from a 40 point regular season loss to win by 13. That's not luck or lolregular season - that's a team playing better.

Destroyers - I don't think many would argue the three amigos were Syracuse, Porto, and Foy with any of the three having a legit shot to be playing in the title. Foy was able to beat both in route to their championship game appearance. However, a tough first round game (26-17) over the WORLD LEAGUE gave them a shot to continue their playoff march. Second round saw a flat out war against the Bulldogs and a 9-6 W. The CC had a lot of hype but the Destroys laid the wood to Porto 47-6. Having to travel to both Syracuse and Porto certainly toughened up the Destroyers who now final get a home game.
=======================================================
WHO'S GOT THE EDGE - I won't be jumping into the regular season to pull stats as there are just too many blowout games so I'll be only looking at the three previous playoff games.

PPG: Undertakers 26.7 and Foy 27.3.
Points Allowed: Undertakers 8 and Foy 9.7

QB Play: Undertakes (see Hidden Jem)

Running Backs: Destroyers (pretty even stat wise but Foy's OL is playing better).

Passing Game: Destroyers

Defending the Run: Undertakers (just more missed tackles 43-29 for Foy which could lead to some issues against Destroyers)

Defending the Pass: Undertakers (pretty even - I literally flipped a coin - a dime)

Special Teams (returns): Even (no return TD's by either and better average on KR for Undertakers and on punts by Destroyers). A play made by either unit could pay some big dividends in the outcome.

Special Teams (kicking): Destroyers - neither K has missed but Foy's kicker is 2-2 on 50+ and that could be huge.

Special Teams (punting): Even

Hidden Jem: Undertaker QB Speedy McNeedy - This rushing QB was the difference maker in upsetting SST as he rushed for 390 yards and two TD's. If Foy can't slow him down the Undertakers will roll. It doesn't look like the dot is boosted unless he didn't boost those first three prior to S28's start.
=======================================================
Winner will be: Either team can win this game but I'll be sticking with the Western bias and take the Undertakers. I liked what they pulled out in the CC game and suspect in their final game they will pull out all the stops to get the gold. Foy is battled tested this post season so they will not go quietly into the night. I suspect there will be more FG's than TD's and if that unfolds throughout I'd go with Foy (this way I really can't be wrong).

Undertakers 16 Destroyers 15

Good luck to both teams.
