Things are winding down. Several teams has basically clinched playoff berths (haven't done the math):

PORN is basically assured the #1 seed.
Atlanta is basically assured the Wild Card
EEA is assured the #3 seed.

Alpha is still up for grabs with legacy holding a 1/2 game lead going back into divisional round #2.

Legacy vs Bullet Club - These teams met in week 5 and Legacy was able to squeak out a 3 point win (9-6). But - Bullet has won 8 of their last 11. This one could be a battle. I'll pick Legacy by 7.


Blackwater vs Empire - Blackwater has won 5 in a row (including knocking off EEA). Empire has lost 4 of 5 which includes losses to the Mambas and Outlaws. It is hard to see Blackwater losing here unless they have some kind of major error on defense. Blackwater by 21


Porn vs Ronin - Porns offense has been struggling lately (while their D has been as sharp as ever). Ronins offense has struggled all season. Porn gets back on track here and wins by 24.


Atlanta vs Vol Nation - To find an Atlanta loss - you have to go back 15 games (there were 2 ties in there). They've worked their way up to #4 in the ladder during that run. They are red hot...and based on just the last few games we've seen - Atlanta could actually be the team to beat right now in Napoleon. Vol Nation has struggled - only managing 3 wins on the year. Atlanta wins this one by 21.

Dynasty vs EEA - Dynasty can actually play some decent run defense...but their offense has been sluggish at best. EEA will be game planning. I think EEA does enough to win here by 20.

Mambas vs Outlaws - Two teams that have struggled....two teams who have little to no playoff hope...and two teams that are still running scrims to try and figure things out. Gotta love that! I'll pick outlaws by 6

Steve has a dislike for my Poor Mambas(only bullies don't root for an underdog lol). I think we have improved greatly from when the season started. Wish I'd known then what I know now for sure. Great year of learning none the less. Maybe with a better plan, or a plan to start at all could have been better

Sounds like you're in a good position to 'reset' your team -- start over at rookie -- but be in a much better position to win out of the gates!

I don't own the team. Owner wasn't doing anything with it so I took the learning XP. I have no clue what his intentions are going forward but I'd imagine he either won't keep the team or he will want to try again himself. I'll for sure be trying to catch on as an OC somewhere. I don't know as if I've been very good on D. Still a lot to learn about builds as well. Baby steps

You nailed this one...if our defense holds up..we should be fine. If they find a hole, we could lose by 21..sigh

You called it. That 'hole' turned out to be right between the tackles as they nickel and dimed you to death.

GG PRAWNS!

You passed well and my offense could not string together a solid drive.

Mambas with the upset. GG Outlaws. Glad we got off to a hit start. Cooled off but D held your comeback effort off.

Not sure what it is about getting the lead but damn AI dust off my least wanted to use plays and spams them lol. Maybe to conservative tactics I guess.

Well you guys went pretty heavy on inside blitz. Just so happened I turned up my outside runs a little. Was a little luck and a little I was starting to worry about teams selling out to stop what little run game I had going up the middle. Either way hit a few good gains outside which really helped. I almost put in screens but was informed they don't work to well in rookie so didn't. I bet they would have worked if WRs didn't just fall down lol

I thought for sure you guys where gonna storm back in the second when my O went mostly cold and started calling random plays.
