Week 11 Predictions
Usual disclaimer: this is my opinion only. If you don’t like it, I still love you.
Taking a short break from video games, we’re moving to music video week. Some of the best music videos ever.
Naga
Game Of The Week
Palembang Drunken Monks (10-0) v Victoria Teabaggers (9-1)
VT has been playing some great dotball this season and now they run up against the current first place team, the Monks. Call me crazy but this one could be a real Thriller http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOnqjkJTMaA to watch. It’s not the ideal way to pick a game, but the Monks have fared a bit better against common opponents thus far. Monks 35, VT 24
Other Games
Semarang Red Bulls (9-1) v Dayton Blackhawks (0-10)
Dayton just can’t catch a break. They are playing better every week but now they run up against juggernaut Semarang. It’s like getting hit with a Sledgehammer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1tTN-b5KHg tbh. Even though I still think Dayton wins some games this season, this isn’t one of them. Semarang 65, Dayton 6
Krungthep Garudas (8-2) v Dayton Raiders (0-10)
Fresh off of their undressing of EEPL, Krungthep gets a bit easier game against a struggling Raiders team. For Dayton it feels a little bit like that cold November Rain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SbUC-UaAxE I’m sure. Krungthep 120, Dayton 0
Woody Island Wolverines (7-3) v Tibetan Drunk Monks (1-9)
TDM probably needs 1 more win to stay in SEA next season, but this is not an ideal spot to get it. Thus far SEA has been a Land of Confusion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvZkKK7KZ_o for TDM, but they probably just need a little more seasoning for next time. WW 45, TDM 17
Hong Kong Hustlers (6-4) v The Outlaw Hustlers (5-5)
Time for the battle of the Hustlers and which team gets the title of “real” Hustlers for the season. HKH has lost two straight, but you can expect them to unleash the HB attack, definitely their Weapon of Choice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQ7z57qrZU8 HKH 38, TOH 20
Sainte Foy Cyclones (6-4) v Royal Blue Drunken Smurfs of Funkalicious Labatt (4-6)
SFC had a disappointing loss to VT last time out, but they’re relatively safe to make the playoffs at this point. The Blue would like to make an unexpected late playoff run, but they’d need an upset here. This One http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LOT_7psWnc win would actually give the Smurfs a good shot. SFC 28, Smurfs 20
Golden Hill Bones (4-6) v Orlando Praying Mantis (4-6)
This game is big in that the loser is likely not going to make the playoffs, given their remaining schedules and those around them. One team will show up and stay alive and the other will have the Freedom http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diYAc7gB-0A of not having to worry the rest of the season. GHB 30, OPM 20
Benton Harbor Havoc (5-5) v Portland Dirty Penguins (3-7)
This is another game that’s bigger than you might think. BHH is on the cusp of grabbing a playoff spot, but PDP has been playing much better as of late and they’re not quite dead yet. You know BHH would love to keep their cushion and write Ashes to Ashes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMThz7eQ6K0 to PDP’s season. PDP 23, BHH 20

lolgaruda
Game of the Week
Krakow Kryptonite (8-2) v Wu Dang Kung Fu Academy (8-2)
A big-time game in lolgaruda as the winner will likely be getting at least one playoff home game, while the loser likely starts the playoffs on the road. You know everybody’s going to be Kung Fu Fighting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwuCJznewFw in this one. Imo, it’s a coin toss. Wu 30, KK 24
Other Games
Phu Khao Bow Chicka Brown Cows (8-2) v Buffalo Knights (5-5)
After a bitter loss for the Cows, it’s on to a tough Buffalo team that is fighting for it’s playoff life, but playing better recently. Will Buffalo keep Livin’ on the Edge http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nqcL0mjMjw or will they give themselves a little cushion? Cows 34, Buffalo 20
Boston Bears (8-2) v Buffalo Rampage (8-2)
Boston starts one of the toughest schedule stretches in SEA this season with Buffalo. They’ll need to win a good chunk of those to stay in the home playoff picture. If they can Beat It http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym0hZG-zNOk they’ll only come out stronger. Buffalo meanwhile has already been through most of the lolgaruda fire and has come out battle tested. Buffalo 34, Boston 27
Mandalay King Cobras (6-4) v Praha Velvet Revolution (0-10)
MKC is having a great run this season and is an almost certain playoff team at this point. Who knows, they might even pull an upset when they get there. For PVR, it’s been more of a Black Hole Sun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mbBbFH9fAg kinda season. MKC 67, PVR 6
Halifax Harpoons (5-5) v Awendaw Toadfish (1-9)
Halifax is sitting just outside the playoff picture right now, but they’re far from dead at this point. If they go big on the games they should, they’ll finish 8-8, which might get them into the big dance, or at least Closer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTFwQP86BRs Halifax 45, Awendaw 17
Tanzania Lumberjacks (4-6) v Chaotic Crew (4-6)
Both of these teams have entered emergency mode now. The loser is almost definitely not going to make the playoffs, so this is basically an elimination game. I think TL is probably the more Vogue http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuJQSAiODqI pick to win this one, but you never know. TL 31, CC 24
Atlantic Great Whites (3-7) v CPU
AGW is on life support and needs to go on a serious run to have a shot at the playoffs. This layup should help. Time to Smack My Bitch Up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StAbpvntNkA AGW 220, CPU 0
New York Empire (9-1) v Island of Misift Toys (1-9)
The mirror image record game of the week. NYE would really love to hold onto that number 1 seed. As much as IMT would love to Sabotage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5rRZdiu1UE that thought, they probably don’t have it in them to do so. NYE 52, IMT 14
