Halfway point of the season. I'll even do some predicting of final records, although they'll probably be way off
1(2) - Bandar Lampung Pigskin Pirates (7-1) - If the Pirates want it, the #1 seed is theres. They have a playoff spot pretty much locked up(I see at minimum 5 wins) already.
Prediction: 14-2
2(1) - Singapore Marauders (7-1) - They are still very much in the race for the top seed, but have a harder path to take. They pretty much need to win out for the top seed, but should have a playoff spot locked up at this point.
Prediction: 14-2
3(4) - Krungthep Garudas (7-1) - They have only lost to Singapore, and are firing on all cylinders after whipping Pa Dong. They hold there own fate at this point in regards to the top seed.
Prediction: 13-3
4(7) - Manila Hitmen (6-2) - Huge win over ESL beating them in all phases of the game. They enter a tough second half, and still can grab the top spot.
Prediction: 11-5
5(3) - East St Louis Tire Fires (6-2) - Terrible loss to Manila followed by an odd to say the least game vs Okinawa. This team doesn't look like the Tar Fars of old, but still is good enough to steal the top spot if given a chance.
Prediction: 12-4
6(5) - Kamakura Katanas (5-3) - They've only lost to teams above them, and have really taken it to everyone else they've faced. This team can still claim a home playoff game, and is one you can never count out.
Prediction: 11-5
7(6) - Pa Dong Dragons (5-3) - After starting hot, the Dragons have really cooled off going 1-2 the past 3 weeks. The Garudas really took it to them, and the always dangerous Bulldogs are fighting to stay in the playoff hunt. They can beat anyone at anytime, but also just disappear at times.
Prediction: 10-6
8(10) - Guangzhou United Fight Club (5-3) - At 5-3, they belong here, for now. I'm still far from sold, but no one below them has done anything to deserve a spot in the playoffs as of now.
Prediction: 7-9
9(9) - Duluth Bulldogs (4-4) - I could be wrong, but I don't feel these guys are quiet there yet. They are close, and could even get over the hump this season, although I think they will make a bigger impact next season.
Prediction: 9-7
10(11) - P-Funk Allstars (3-5) - Big win vs the Idols kept there hopes alive, but the Katanas all but shut the door. They now need to beat either Bandar or Singapore to stay alive.
Prediction: 6-10
11(8) - Lost City Idols (3-5) - Needing to go 7-1 to finish isn't impossible, but highly improbable. Will be interesting to see how the Idols respond.
Prediction: 8-8
12(12) - Quahog Drunken Clams (2-6) - Very rough season for the Clams, playoff chances are just about gone without an immediate change.
Prediction: 4-12
13(13) - Portland Dirty Penguins (2-6) - Tough second season doesn't look to get any easier. They should finish with a few more wins, but I see at best 3 wins in the second half.
Prediction: 4-12
14(14) - Okinawa Leathernecks (1-7) - Big game vs Jungle Raiders in what could be a battle to stay in the Pro's.
Prediction: 3-13
15(15) - Pattaya Jungle Raiders (1-7) - Big game vs Leathernecks in what could be a battle to stay in the Pro's.
Prediction: 2-14
16(16) - Chaiyaphum Gothic (0-8) - All is not lost yet. There are stil a couple winnable games later in the season.
Prediction: 0-16

BTW, none of our returners have less than 50 carrying and yet we've had 8 fumbles on returns in 10 games.
