Week 12 Predictions
Usual disclaimer: this is my opinion only. If you don’t like it, I still love you.
Welcome to part 2 of the music video countdown.
Naga
Game Of The Week
Woody Island Wolverines (8-3) v Sainte Foy Cyclones (7-4)
Both of these teams are pretty much in the playoffs and are now playing for seeding. WW could even steal a home playoff game if they win here and later upset VT. I wouldn’t let that Sweet Child ‘O Mine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-AYAv0IoWI watch this game as it could be a real fight. With SFC’s improved D as of late and WW’s improved play over last season in general, should be a good one. WW 27, SFC 24
Other Games
Palembang Drunken Monks (11-0) v The Outlaw Hustlers (5-6)
TOH is right in the playoff mix, currently tied for the 8 spot. It will likely take a record of either 9-7 or 8-8 to get in, which gives them a small cushion. That’s good because this game probably isn’t all that winnable. Feel free to Express Yourself http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsVcUzP_O_8 if you disagree though. Monks 42, TOH 17
Semarang Red Bulls (10-1) v Golden Hill Bones (5-6)
See TOH comments above and apply them here to GHB, including the part where they are in a game that isn’t very winnable. You know GHB is Hungry Like the Wolf http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOg5VxrRTi0 to make the playoffs, but they’ll have to make up for this game in the final stretch. Semarang 45, GHB 20
Victoria Teabaggers (9-2) v Royal Blue Drunken Smurfs of Funkalicious Labatt (4-7)
Amazing, the Smurfs are not yet eliminated from playoff contention despite totally reloading with talent way too young for the Pros. That could change soon though while playing the likes of a very good VT team that is coming off a loss to the Monks. I’d be Losing My Regligion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=if-UzXIQ5vw of trying to make accurate picks if I went against VT here. VT 38, Smurfs 14
Krungthep Garudas (9-2) v Tibetan Drunk Monks (1-10)
The Krungthep reign of terror tour continues this week agaisnt TDM, a team that would just like to avoid relegation. Ya, it could get ugly. TDM will come out fighting knowing that Every Breath You Take http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMOGaugKpzs in SEA could be your last but Krungthep is just too good. Krungthep 56, TDM 6
Hong Kong Huslters (7-4) v Orlando Praying Mantis (4-7)
HKH is looking to put the final dagger in OPM’s playoff aspirations, while pretty much sewing up their own spot. Mama Said Knock You Out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vimZj8HW0Kg HKH gonna knock you out. HKH 35, OPM 20
Benton Harbor Havoc (5-6) v Dayton Blackhawks (0-11)
Despite getting brutalized by PDP last game, BHH can take sole possession of 8th place in Naga with the likely loss of their rivals if they can beat Dayton. I’ve seen though that Dayton won’t go down without a fight as they haven’t given up and are still active. Big clap for Dayton btw. You Might Think http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yf2WP6K1gQ it’s a slam dunk for BHH, but it could be close. BHH 23, Dayton 20
Portland Dirty Penguins (4-7) v Dayton Raiders (0-11)
PDP is looking more like their old selves lately after beating up a couple of pretty good teams lately. That spells likely trouble for Dayton, so it would be Virtual Insanity http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JkIs37a2JE to think they beat PDP here. PDP still very much alive for the big dance, but that last second loss to GHB could come back and haunt them in the end. PDP 56, Dayton 13

lolgaruda
Game of the Week
Boston Bears (8-3) v Krakow Krytonite (8-3)
This is a big GoTW for these two teams that are wondering how good they really are after they both suffered disappointing losses. Welcome To The Jungle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1tj2zJ2Wvg guys, this is where we separate you guys in the standings. No pressure or anything, but the loser likely falls out of the ever-so-coveted Power Poll. KK 30, Boston 27
Other Games
New York Empire (10-1) v Tanzania Lumberjacks (5-6)
NYE puts their first place record on the line against a TL squad desperate to stay relevant in the playoff picture. It’s probably going to take 9-7 to get there, so there isn’t much cushion left. You definitely don’t get your playoff Money For Nothing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAD6Obi7Cag though and at some point you have to upset one of the big boys to get in. NYE 42, TL 13
Wu Dang Kung Fu Academy (9-2) v Buffalo Knights (5-6)
Perennial lolgaruda playoff team Buffalo faces a Wu team on a wicked 9 game win streak and out for more blood. The Knights are in danger of losing the “perennial playoff” part of their description this season and would love their week 15 game against Halifax to be for the playoff marbles, or this season is just a Bittersweet Symphony http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx3m4e45bTo for them. Wu 38, Buffalo 20
Phu Khao Bow Chicka Brown Cows (9-2) v Atlantic Great Whites (4-7)
AGW is still alive in the playoff race but at some point they have to win a game they’re not supposed to win to make it in the dance. Even so, I don’t know if you should go chasing Waterfalls http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WEtxJ4-sh4 here because the Cows are a next level team. Cows 56, AGW 16
Mandalay King Cobras (7-4) v Halifax Harpoons (6-5)
This game is big for playoff positioning for both teams, but probably a bigger game overall for Halifax as they’re trying to create separation from the Knights in the standings. Beyond that even they’d love to Jump http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlq0lYB3iSM MKC in the standings. Should be one of the better games of the week. MKC 28, Halifax 24
Buffalo Rampage (9-2) v Chaotic Crew (4-7)
Pretty much CC’s last shot at staying in the playoff picture is for them to upset Buffalo in this one. That’s a tall order. Real tall. Enter Sandman http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2jfV1DzcuQ err Buffalo in this one. Buffalo 56, CC 9
Awendaw Toadfish (2-9) v Island of Misfit Toys (1-10)
A win by the Toadfish probably clinches a stay in SEA while IMT still needs another win our two themselves, although I like both of their chances to stay ahead of PVR. Don’t quote me on that though because I don’t have True Faith http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og1HAkjOuL0 in either team right now. IMT 16, Awendaw 13
Praha Velvet Revolution (0-11) v CPU
Ok, I know you don’t like when I pick you to win a game PVR, but really you got it this time. Just Fight The Power http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKyHoFaO6AA of that stupid CPU team. PVR 90, CPU 3
