You know me, doncha?
Like I said on Page 1, when I saw the Paladins had a CPU opponent for the playoffs, I decided not to take chances. I gave our DC the game off, but for our offense I used the Scout tool on the CPU team, picked out the plays that had been doing EXTRA well against them all season long, and spammed those plays. Took me 10 minutes tops to have the peace of mind that we weren't going to be one of "those" teams.
I mean, what else was I gonna do with those 10 minutes? I've never lost to a CPU team either, or even come close, but I'd rather not take the chance, y'know?

Yo dawg, it's still pretty fucking retarded to go from winning a game in a 34-0 shutout, to losing by 27.
A 61-point swing is pretty extreme. But it's not that far off from reality. Last season in college football, Nebraska and Wisconsin played twice... Wisconsin lost the first game by 3 but won the second game by 39, a 42-point swing. In the NFL last season, San Francisco went from beating Seattle by 7 in October to losing to Seattle by 29 in December, a 36-point swing. And Seattle started 2012 with a 4-point loss to Arizona, then beat them by 58 in December, a 62-point swing, though to be fair Russell Wilson was probably playing a lot better in December than in September.
Those are the only such examples I could find from last season, aside from a couple of other late-season NFL blowouts in meaningless games which wouldn't be fair to include. So, a big swing like that isn't common. But the point is... it's not impossible either. Sometimes, one team just gets hot and the other team just gets cold on the same day, and a wild score swing can be the result.
