Well, since I get to sit out as a relatively neutral party this time around, I'll take a shot at this. Only calling the playoff games for the moment.

Rapid City vs. Anchorage:
Anchorage put up quite the fight to get to the playoffs, and should be respected for it. This season, though, I think its one and done and some consolation prize money to go home with. Rapid City with a fairly convincing win.

Caprica vs. Western Division Bye Week Vikings:
I think that Caprica will find, having played so hard to get to be at home this week, that they really like it there, and once the bye week is done, will decide to just stay home and rest up for next season.

Lima vs. Chicago:
I haven't picked against Chicago much this season, but I think the Lemurs have something to prove this week, and no one is going to stop them. At least not here. Some really hyper lemurs will be just a bit too much for the Maroons to handle.

DVDTalk vs. Midwest:
I just don't see the Otters being ready to be done yet. They'll hold serve at home and get ready to make the trip to Lima for what will likely be one of the toughest games of the playoffs.

New Brunswick vs. Salem: After losing three winnable games in a row and failing to clinch a game at home, Salem is going to make it 4 losses in a row and start getting ready for next season. N.B. by 30+.

Akron vs. Vice City: Akron couldn't handle Vice City's potent passing attack last time they played, leading to one of Vice City's more convincing wins over a contender. I don't see anything having drastically changed, so the snakes will slither on for a showdown with N.B. mid-week.

N.Y. Strikers vs. Gulf State Demons: The Demons, more than most teams, hovered on the brink of playoff elimination for a while, and held on to their spot. I think that's going to have to be gold at the end of the rainbow enough for them this season. I think NY moves on by 14-17 points.

Miami Makos vs. Atlanta Wolves: One of the toughest calls in the division, and quite possibly thew game of the night. It could go either way, but ultimately, the Makos proved to be just a fin above this season, and I think they prove it here. Miami by a last second field goal.

Great write up! I'm not expecting much more than a good game, but I sure would like to win a playoff game some year!

I only see three games with any real upset potential, and it's hard to call a 4/5 game an upset if the 5-seed wins.

The Front-Running Vikings should beat Caprica which is the easy one.

I think the Wolves may just unseat the Makos as I like their offensive line. I like the Mambas over the Browns by a hair for the same reason.

I appreciate the votes of confidence and all but don't put the horse in front of the carriage. This is the same team that beat the brakes off us 33-6 the first time we met. They're the favorites for a reason

I'm going to bet that some of your guys have boosted since.

Good to know someone sees how close this Miami/ATL matchup will be.

We definetly have our work cut out for us. The Strikers have been a solid team for 2 seasons now, and we will have to play error free to have a shot. We had 7 turn overs when we played them the 1st game of the season and we know how that turned out... not toooo good.

GS is a completely different team now, though. They had to wheel off 7 of their last 8 just to make the playoffs!

I agree. It's going to be a close one. We're definitely not looking past them.

Appreciate that, we have made some progress since then.

Atlanta mostly boosted early to make a playoff run this season, and it worked out well for them. But a full season has a way of evening things up some too, as does experience playing a team previously.

I called the Mambas but missed on the Atlanta Wolves. Caprica played the Vikings tough. That's some game film we'll have to watch. Nice game Alaska Wolves. You guys are definitely improving.
