Congrats to all the teams who have made it to the second round. My predicted score were off a little last week, I'm not anal-retentive enough to track every player in the league and see who boosted and who didn't, but the outcomes were accurate (7-1). The scores will get more and more accurate as we go through the playoffs and I get a better feel for how the late-season boosting affected teams.

South African Ridgebacks vs. Windhoek White Rhinos - These two teams last met in Week 8. The Ridgebacks won with a FG in OT. That was the last time that the White Rhinos lost and they go into The Kennel looking to avenge that loss. Unfortunately, the White Rhino playoff run ends there.

Ridgebacks 24........................White Rhinos 17

Buckeye Nation vs. Zambia Lions - Zambia, Zambia, Zambia, I keep hearing that Chemistry will be the death of you. This time they are right.

Nation 24............................Lions 13

Zambia Zombies vs. Zimbabwe Mighty Zulu Nation - Zambia won the last dust-up between these two 33-6. Zimbabwe hopes to catch Zambia looking past this game to the Conference finals, but the Zombies are smarter than that and crush the Mighty Zulu Nation underfoot.

Zombies 35............................Mighty Zulu Nation 12

Sahara Sandstorm vs. Charlie Don't Surf - Game of the Week - The last time Charlie lost was against Sahara in Week 3 when the Sandstorm kicked a FG with 3:19 left. Since then Charlie has improved every facet of its game to the point that it has done something that even Sahara hasn't and that is beat the Zombies. Sahara, on the other hand, who struggled last game to punch the rock into the endzone faces an even tougher Charlie D and must step up if the Sandstorm want to advance. In the defensive slugfest that ensues, it's the Sahara Special Teams that provide the spark for the win.

Sandstorm 14..........................Charlie 9

I agree with everything except the Sahara/Charlie game.

Yeah, well I think we both may be biased in regards to that game.

I think we've gotten so far, that all or none of the games should be game of the week.

Take Ridgebacks/Rhinos - both have won all games since Ridgebacks won their last game in OT.
Nation/Lions - two of the strongest teams in the conference. Look at their roster, and tell me that is not worthy of being game of the week.
Zombies/Zulu Nation - Underseeded Zulu Nation comes up against the 1st seed after a win against an opponent they lost to 4 days ago.
Sandstorm/CDS - you said it all about that one.

You can't predict these games... All the teams diserve a trophy!

How are you underdogs? Both predictors chose you guys to win. In fact, I haven't heard from anyone other than people in the Valla squad that Ridgebacks won't win. You guys are heavily favored.

I think he meant Zombies instead of Lions. This is what happens when people choose the same city for their team.

Zambia is a country. This is what happens when game designers pick geographic locations in a game populated by Americans.

We are underdogs in the way that everyone BUT the predictors have chosen the Rhinos...
After looking through the posts - then no. It's more like 50-50 maybe.

the Rhino's are the people's choice only because everyone lost to the Ridgebacks.. it is very common to root against the top dog.....probally more Giants fans in last years super bowl then ever before.
