Omaha vs. Oklahoma City
Very close game between two 13-3 teams in the west. Both field ridiculous offenses, each amassing over an unprecedented 520 yards last game. The game will probably be like a tennis match - coming down to who breaks the offense first. If no team is able to stop the other, the game will probably be decided by who has the ball last.
Omaha 44-37

I'll let the rest of you guys decide the outcome of the game in the East, but here's a newspaper clipping from the New York Times to get you going:

Brooklyn, NY - It was predictable that the Hurricanes and Bomb Squad would face each other again in the playoffs, and what better stage to do it on than the Conference Championships. In the last meeting, the Hurricanes squeaked out a victory in a fluke upset when Miami won 17-16 at Brooklyn. While Miami fought their tales off, it has been said that Brooklyn saw that game as just another guaranteed win, and kept their eyes on the trophy instead. Sources close to the Brooklyn organization have said that some of the team members 'threw the game when [they] played the Canes.' Hence it wasn't a huge surprise when the outcome was not as expected - frankly some analysts have even said that 'Miami played at 125% the entire game while Brooklyn only played at 50%.'

As for this weekend when the two teams face off again, Brooklyn will very likely come out with a huge victory. In fact, that likelihood is almost definite, as Vegas has already given Brooklyn a -9 point nod. Brooklyn has always been the best team in the league and they will demonstrate their offensive prowess against the weak Miami secondary - which by the way, gave up more than 669 yards through the air in the past two games. Star receiver Ghetto Heisman can only drool in anticipation as he prepares to to slice through the soft defense. He already has 365 yards and 6 touchdowns receiving in the two playoff games - and he doesn't even start.

So, any of the Brooklyn fans out there who may feel uneasy about this game, rest assured, there is nothing to worry about. Brooklyn, without a doubt, is the best team in the league this time around. Just look at the amount of records the team has broken on both offense and defense. And if you are still unsure, just remember these three things as to why Brooklyn will win:

1) Brooklyn threw away the game in their first match up.
2) Brooklyn has the best passing offense ever seen by GLB and will be going against a weak secondary that has repeatedly given up over 300 yards through the air.
3) When a team is destined to win the big one, well, who can defy destiny? Brooklyn is fated to be the one holding the Superbowl trophy on day 40. Heck, all their players know it - that's why they've been given GM duties so they can claim more accolades.

So just enjoy the show fans. And as a reminder, Brooklyn fans, don't party too hard when we win this one, because the Superbowl is right around the corner. As for the poor Canes fans, well, our bars serve alcohol throughout the night and into the morning.

LOL - good one ... funny ...

1) Despite what you have heard ... Brooklyn played 100%. Credit our loss to somecut8's clever defensive schemes. And the amazing Hurricane defense.

2) "Weak" secondary? I think not ... The Hurricanes hold the number 1 defense of the final four teams left. And the Canes defense (under somecut8's guidance) holds 10 sacks, 22 PDs, 5 Ffum, and 6 INT's ... 2 of which were pick 6's.

Well ... as you know ... it's any given GLB day ... so may the best team on game day win!!

Brooklyn Bomb Squad Vs. The Hurricanes - Two great teams to meet each other in the finals of the Eastern Conference, this will be more of a defensive struggle than an offensive shoot-out! I looked at the history of the two team's meetings over the past 4 seasons and have to say, even though I am a supporter of BBS, because the owner has a lot of class and sportsmanship, I will have to go with The Hurricanes.It just looks like they have BBS' number. I will say that whatever the outcome, either team will be a very good opponent for the Western Conference to face in the Championship!

Omaha Lightning vs. Oklahoma City Twisters - First, both squads have been supporters of each others organizations this past season. Back and forth, see-saw battle climbing up the ranks in the Western Conference, finishing with identical records (13-3), and a very close game, Omaha won 34-27, when the two met. The incredible run that the Twister are on in the playoffs knocking off first, the Phoenix Scorpions, then turning around and beating the "unbeaten" Death Valley Vipers(avenging one of their 3 losses). Now, they have to roll into Omaha, NE and face a team that "man-handled" the Corpus Christi Aliens, then also avenged a loss to their biggest rivals, the Bakersfield Nanananas. Now there is a collison course set for Monday, Oct. 27th @ 8pm, know as "Showdown in Omaha II, When Natural Forces Collide". Speaking with the Owner of the Lightning, Jason/Serge V, he stated that "Tail-gating is allowed, but not before 10:00am and that there will be special Lightning Shaped Beer Mugs for Dad and Commemorative Plastic Cups for the kiddies!!"

Bomb Squad vs. The Huricanes - The Huricanes 24-21. Seems we need to have a weather related league championship. I expect this will be a hard fought game, but I think the modest one has a slight advantage.

Omaha Lightning vs. Oklahoma City Twisters - Twisters 34-28. Two pretty evenly matched teams here, I think it could really go either way.

Thanx for your "honest unbiased" predictions psyborg and rjennings66!! All I could predict is a hard fought game by both our teams. And yes ... the Squad has only won 1 out 4 tries. The 'Canes are a tough team. Whoever wins will be a great representative of the Eastern Conference.

As for Oklahoma vs Omaha ... wow ... those teams are pretty even and seem to play the same way. LOL ... I just wish them both the Best of luck!!

I thought they were pretty biased...and just because we won 3/4 doesn't mean much. Remember a while back when the Colts couldn't beat the Patriots? Well, when they finally beat the Pats, they won the Superbowl. Brooklyn has beaten us so they are bound to win it all.

1) Cough...cover up...cough
2) 670 through the air (not including rushing) yards in two games is a number that cannot be overlooked. Giving up 670 in the playoffs is the path to failure. Brooklyn on the other hand has racked up 109 points, over 880 yards of passing yards in two games - and that's passing only folks.

So if I do my math correctly, Brooklyn has a 1550 passing yard advantage over us.

Honestly, Both The Canes and BBS (maybe another team or two too)will be moving up next year so it is really a moot point but, getting that trophy is very nice

There were and are going to be tons of teams sold in the East and a ton brought down here.

All I can predict is there's gonna be some storms in the finals! I'm hoping there's a Twister or two, but, regardless, it's going to rain!!!

If we are already getting torched down here, think what would happen if we move up! I need to know which teams are being sold so I can upgrade the defense.
