Texan’s Week 16 Picks
Usual disclaimer: this is my opinion only. If you don’t like it, I still love you.
It’s cable TV week. Some of the better shows to ever appear on cable in the last decade.
Picks record this season: 113-23
Naga
Game of the Week
Portland Dirty Penguins (15-0) v Palembang Drunken Monks (15-0)
You don’t often see it work out for two undefeated teams to meet on the last day of the season. Even more rare is when they are part of the same family of teams. You might think Boomy, amo and the rest of us are Mad Men http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0qEL76eJvw for having 3 teams in our family right here in Naga. Maybe you’re right? Monks 42, PDP 35
Other Games
Victoria Teabaggers (12-3) v Benton Harbor Havoc (8-7)
VT has nothing to play for but that all important momentum while BHH has everything to play for in holding onto that 8 spot. I expect BHH to show up like Spartacus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHxn8mTpAJU in this one to try and get in and who knows what VT will do? Where’s their motivation? VT 23, BHH 20
Royal Blue Drunken Smurfs of Funkalicious Labatt (11-4) v Sainte Foy Cyclones (6-9)
What we have here is one of the hottest teams in SEA against one of the coldest. SFC has gone from playoff contender completely off the reservation fast as things have been really Breaking Bad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--z4YzxlT8o for them. The Smurfs don’t want to let up and lose their 4 hole. Smurfs 49, SFC 13
The Cult of Personalities (11-4) v Singapore Slingers (2-13)
CoP is definitely not nearly as talented as in the past couple of seasons but I wouldn’t sleep on them in the playoffs, they are still dangerous. SS, not so dangerous. It’s going to take Dexter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6_qsTCBns8 to clean up this mess when CoP is done. CoP 120, SS 3
Golden Hill Bones (10-5) v Woody Island Wolverines (10-5)
This should be a very good game and will decide who gets the 6 spot in Naga and who gets 7. We’ll see who gets tripped up in the Weeds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUZcdiflm_c on this one. I’m not sure it’s a big help to get 6 and face VT rather than PDP or the Monks, they’re all tough games. Tossup here. GHB 24, WIW 23
Bandar Lampung Pigskin Pirates (8-7) v Tibetan Drunk Monks (7-8)
This game is huge if BHH ends up losing because the winner of this game would then make the playoffs in the 8 spot. You’ll see some True Blood http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uK1D9vGJePc on the field in this one. BLPP 27, TDM 24
Wichita Black Magic (3-12) v Las Vegas Dirty Hookers (3-12)
Both teams long since eliminated, but hey they still gotta play! Try and Curb Your Enthusiasm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIepKA36SB8 here. WBM 42, LVDH 17
Semarang Red Bulls (0-15) v Hong Kong Hustlers (0-15)
We have two 15-0 teams going at it...and we have two 0-15 teams going at it. These aren’t just two normal 0-15 teams though, both will secretly gameplan with their CPU arsenals because it’s one of the great grudge series in SEA history. I expect both teams to go full Battlestar Galactica http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvYVR6XXsHA here, so tune in. Semarang 52, HKH 17

lolgaruda
Game of the Week
Buffalo Rampage (13-2) v Phu Khao Bow Chicka Brown Cows (12-3)
Another great season ending matchup for the 2 seed. Buffalo started the season slow and ever since then has been unstoppable. The Cows have been consistently good as well. I’m expecting a more violent end in this one than in the Sopranos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNrzz_acqWI finale. Buffalo 30, Cows 28
Other Games
Three Kingdom Warriors (15-0) v Bourbontown BlueCats (0-15)
Ah, while Naga brings us a clash of 15-0 titans, lolgaruda brings us 15-0 versus 0-15. lol. garuda. Anyway, it won’t be any funnier than the Daily Show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVg1CW08oHA I’m sure. TKW 240, BBC 0
Wu Dang Kung Fu Academy (12-3) v NBA Jam Extreme (8-7)
This one is pretty interesting. The Jam came in on fire and now their stock is dropping like Black Tuesday. Now that they’re walking The Wire http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srIYAbjqT-g just to make the playoffs they have to do it against a tough team. KFA has already locked up a home game but can move to 3 with a win and a Cows loss. Also, I’m sure they just want to ruin the Jam’s day. KFA 35, NBA 20
SDSU Aztecs (10-5) v Krakow Kryptonite (8-7)
SDSU is completely locked in and won’t move either up or down this week, but KK needs to win and get some help just to make the big dance. KK better get things together and get Eastbound and Down http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cn6UHgJEZEk the field. SDSU 28, KK 21
Mandalay King Cobras (9-6) v Destin Leviathans (9-6)
This one is for playoff positioning. Two good teams looking to get the best first round matchup possible. This should have more action than Rome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPO2y19tKCE as we find out who has a better shot at a first round playoff upset. MKC 27, Destin 24
Boston Bears (7-8) v Island of Misfit Toys (1-14)
Rumors of Boston’s demise were greatly exaggerated my friends. With a win and a loss by both KK and NBA, they are the ones to make the playoffs. Since both of the above teams have difficult games, that is not out of the question. That might make Boston happy enough to go out west for a while for some Californication http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ7yaQhXJAI Boston 56, IMT 14
Atlantic Great Whites (5-10) v Halifax Harpoons (3-12)
It’s been a disappointing season for both teams but hopefully they’ll hit the recruiting trails and come back stronger next season. On the plus side, they can stock up on their back episodes of Man v Food http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eko9vqZbOz0 AGW 28, HH 20
Shanghai Tigers (4-11) v Tanzania Lumberjacks (3-12)
Once again two teams that should come back stronger next time out. If Shanghai gets some D to go with that O they could jump to the playoffs next season. For this season they may be Deadwood http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfMSxf6P_AM but there’s always next time. Shanghai 42, TL 40
