South 'Cooley-High' Rangers (5-7-1) (118) at Alpine (12-1) (3)
MATCHUP: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/34/298
WATCH GAME: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/15452

Alpine is coming off a shocker of a defeat against Detroit. Did Alpine get complacent after clinching the #1 overall seed and drop their guard? Cooley can give Alpine a game but I think Alpine takes care of business to ramp up for the playoffs. From the looks of things it's probably going to be Detroit or Ministry, either team gives them a challenge and they want to make sure they shake off the stink of that loss.

PREDICTION: Alpine 35 - South 'Cooley-High' Rangers 3

Helmand Provincial Pathan Pansies (6-7) (84) at Sacramento B-Squad (2-10-1) (169)
MATCHUP: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/293/292
WATCH GAME: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/15450

Helmand struggled this season thought they still showed plenty of promise where as it seems Sacramento needs to evaluate some things for next season. I have just gotten word that both teams are staying so this should be a game that could flourish into a rivalry. Neither team is fighting for a playoff spot, but Sacramento is fighting not to be one of the worst teams record wise. Calling an upset here.

PREDICTION: Sacramento B-Squad 21 - Helmand Provincial Pathan Pansies 20

DeepRoute Allstars (9-4) (32) at Tampa Piranhas (10-3) (23)
MATCHUP: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/294/291
WATCH GAME: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/15449

This is the prime time game for the Alpha conference. DeepRoute needs to win and win very large or simply win and hope for Detroit to lose to have any chance for the playoffs. Earlier in the season when these 2 teams met, DeepRoute got, well routed! I don't see the same happening this time around, but do still see Tampa walking away victorious.

PREDICTION: Tampa Piranhas 31 - DeepRoute Allstars 17

New York Syndicate Gangster Squad (9-4) (50) at Rhode Island Aftershocks (3-10) (181)
MATCHUP: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/357/300
WATCH GAME: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/15453

New York's division has been absolutely horrible and there is no way around it. They have not had any competition and the race decided half way through the season. Has this been a good thing knowing they didn't need to gameplan or has it made them lazy? Either way expect another win.

PREDICTION: New York Syndicate Gangster Squad 24 - Rhode Island Aftershocks 10

Canton Bulldogs (2-11) (146) at Texas Toast (2-11) (222)
MATCHUP: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/358/160
WATCH GAME: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/15454

This is going to be a battle to the death for the pride of not being the worst team in Osprey. The winner can walk away without the stigma of being the worst. The loser will claim the namesake. Is there a trophy for that? I expect someone to get toasted.

PREDICTION: Canton Bulldogs 21 - Texas Toast 17

##################### GAME OF THE WEEK #####################

Ministry of Dotball (8-5) (52) at Detroit Foreclosures (9-4) (27)
MATCHUP: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/compare_teams/297/295
WATCH GAME: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/15451

Here we go again, another season another down the wire game that will decide the fate of Detroit and Ministry in Beta. Last season Ministry won their final game to clinch the #1 seed and force Detroit out of the playoffs. This season it is Detroit in the prime position to return the favor. If Detroit wins they are in, though if they lose they would require that they do so with less than 26 point difference and DeepRoute to lose as well. Ministry has been playing very well as of late but Detroit does have the more impressive record of wins. This game should be decided late and I would expect Ministry to win, but not by enough to knock Detroit out of the playoffs.

PREDICTION: Ministry of Dotball 28 - Detroit Foreclosures 21

Hot damn I was right about winning by 7 and only 3 points off on each, but just as I pretty much thought... going to miss the playoffs due to points against. That fumble on your 1 yard line HURT the hell out of us. Nice pickup on running outside rushes, was a calculated risk on my part to prevent pass game.

But.... in the standing we are above you, not sure how that works or why? I know we have more points for than you guys.

Same here... I really pisses me off they will not just come out and state WTF the tiebreakers are, but I suspect its because they are broken to an extent and not all leagues are operating with the same logic. I have seen some weird situations where based on one set of rules it would work but then another league it doesn't.

Actually what would have been worse all together is if we tied, we both would have lost the wildcard spot.

Ending on a win after a rough season was nice. I look forward to next season with you guys.

Really disappointed we couldn't knock off Tampa. Nothing to be done there, but still a tough loss.
