I've decided to change it up a bit and go with preview style write up, plus I was seeing if this way takes less time as I'm getting busy at work again.

Stockholm Meatballs @ Paris Musketeers - With their convincing victory over the Frankfurt Heat, the Meatballs cemented their spot at the top of Zeta Conference. Paris on the other hand is a team playing for pride as well as for next season. Paris managed to beat the Aggies 21-10. Intriguing factor in this matchup is this, the Meatballs and Musketeers are 1 and 2 in rushes per game although Meatballs is no.1 by a fairly wide margin. They also average 5.8 a carry versus 4.3 for the Musketeers.
Prediction: Meatballs over the Musketeers 30-10, Meatball can stop the Paris running game but I don’t see the Musketeers stopping Mal Brown and co.
Rivals Mainboard Pimps @ Oslo Berserkers – The Pimps slapped Valencia Billy Goats around this week, 80-0. Not to be outdone, the Berserkers gave the Copenhagen Cowboys a beat down also, 80-7. That’s where all the good news ends for the Berserkers as the Pimps are superior to all position and depth wise. However Oslo has pulled off some upsets this season and seasons past and this one would be a big one if they can pull it off.
Prediction: However I don’t see it happening, Pimps over Berserkers 60-7, Pimps should dominate here.
Blind Rage @ Rotterdam Roughnecks – Both team are coming off a lost, Rotterdam losing 23-19 to Korb Destroyers and Blind Rage getting their weekly beatdown, this time by Porto Reconquistas 48-3. That’s where the similarities end as the Roughnecks have only been recently knocked off their perch up top Zeta Conference by Stockholm and Korb *smirk* and the Rage gets corn hole pretty much every week. Despite the losses, Rotterdam still have a top 4 seed wrapped up and Blind Rage looks like it has narrowly avoided relegation, the only drama here is which SA CCC team Brett112289 will join.
Prediction: Rotterdam will take out their frustration on Blind Rage, 102-3.
Korb Destroyers @ Frankfurt Heat – Korb is coming off a hard fought victory against the Rotterdam Roughnecks 23-19 and looks to secure a home playoff game with a win. Frankfurt on the other hand is probably still smarting from the steamrolling they got at the hands of the Meatballs 49-3. The Heat can still secure a home playoff game if they can beat Korb in this game so I don’t expect anyone to rest any starters here. The Heat had been outscored 138-39 in games against teams in the top 4 so far and Korb would love to continue that streak. For Frankfurt this is a chance to prove they belong among the elites and not just the best of the rest. For Korb they would rather not have their seeding decided in the final game against the Lumberjacks.
Prediction: Korb been playing well, Frankfurt hasn’t. Korb wins, 38-17
Reykjavik Aggies @ MA Trolls – The Trolls are coming off a disheartening loss to the PPP Longnecks, 28-10 while the Aggies lost their seventh straight game, 21-10 to the Musketeers. The Trolls have been nothing if not streaky this season and the Aggies seemed to have collapsed after a good start to the season. With this loss, the Trolls lose any chance at a home playoff game. With the Aggies, WEPL is just wondering what their status is and whether or not we have to worry about another gutted team in the near future.
Prediction: Trolls win easily 24-10.
PPP Longnecks @ Valencia Billy Goats – With their 28-10 victory over the MA Trolls, the Longnecks have pretty much assured themselves a spot in the playoffs. Valencia with their 80-0 loss to the Pimps has pretty much assured themselves a spot in AAA. The Longnecks have come through in the last few games with their playoff lives in the balance, winning three straight. And with only two gutted teams left on the schedule they should end the regular season on a high note and hope to carry that momentum into the playoffs where they will likely face either the Pimps or Roughnecks.
Prediction: Time to pad some stats guys, PPP wins 75-3.
Rohrheim Stampede @ Porto Reconquistas – The Stampede looks like they won’t be making the playoffs in what appears to be their last season in WEPL, losing to Multiple Scorgasm 42-10. Newcomer Porto on the other hand, managed to bolster their playoff chances with a 48-3 win over the Stampede. It’s pretty simple for Porto right now, win this game and you are in. Lose and you might fall victim to tie breakers. No pressure guys.
Prediction: I don’t think the Stampede players are all there right now from a focus standpoint, Porto should win this 27-14.
Copenhagen Cowboys @ Multiple Scorgasm – Cowboys gets annihilated again, 80-7 at the hands of Oslo. While the Scorgasms bolster their faint playoff hopes with a 42-10 win over the Stampede. For the Scorgasm, they need to win both games and have either PPP or Porto drop both of their remaining two games. Porto seems to be the more likely suspect as PPP have two gutted teams remaining. Multiple had the opportunity to control their destiny but dropping a crucial game against Porto as well as being upset by Oslo pretty much doomed their chances.
Prediction: Multiple should win this 102-0, and then hope the Stampede can come through.
