Week 13 Predictions
Usual disclaimer: this is my opinion only. If you don’t like it, I still love you.
Welcome to 80s movie week.
NAGA
Game Of The Week
The Cult (11-1) v Sainte Foy Cyclones (10-2)
The Cult gets their second consecutive GoTW against the surprising upstarts from SFC and they’re hoping their home field is their Field of Dreams http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHTsQ9qePrQ SFC knows they have to come up Big http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J62jciQ1PbY in this one to have a shot at a homefield playoff game. Can that powerful Cult offense be slowed two weeks in a row? I am doubting it. Cult 45, SFC 20
Other Naga Games
Palembang Drunken Monks (11-1) v Pa Dong Dragons (7-5)
The Monks came out against the Cult like a Raging Bull http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiVOwxsa4OM but we’re more worried about the playoff rematch. Pa Dong is more worried about just making the playoffs with 3 tough games left in their final 4. They’re going to have to be a real Road Warrior http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4TdPxOXuYw to get this one done. Monks 42, Pa Dong 17
Portland Dirty Penguins (10-2) v Orlando Praying Mantis (2-10)
Ah, the dreaded mirror record matchup tends to get worse and worse as the season progresses. PDP is due for a break after surviving two Dangerous Liaisons http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbB2oBlP2uI and getting two big wins, but they end the season on a murderous three game schedule. Will some kind of Local Hero http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4WQZbGMrl4 show up and save OPM? PDP 52, OPM 9
Pudong Skyfire (9-3) v Beer Drinkers, Hell Raisers and Mom (2-10)
Pudong continues to glide and wait for the playoffs against the Drinkers this week. Will the Drinkers be too Moonstruck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtvJexR4iVg to compete or will they give Pudong a run? It’s more likely to be like Nightmare on Elm Street http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Adgp0v_mfTk for them tbh. Pudong 55, Drinkers 13
Hong Kong Hustlers (9-3) v Chi-Town Hustlers (5-7)
An all-Hustler matchup, but which will be the real deal? We’ll probably find out by who knows the Color of Money http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7gmrKAFshE and who doesn’t. This is probably CTH’s last chance to get back into the playoff race. If they lose they may as well head to Atlantic City http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsPiWrlaLAI for some off-season hustling.
Golden Hill Bones (6-6) v Woody Island Wolverines (5-7)
Strangely, this is a huge game in the scope of the playoff race. I almost can’t believe it, but now it looks like WW will be the 8 seed, possibly even 7, although if they lose this one it’s more like The Vanishing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeOVJFeP3MQ from the playoffs. GHB would like to avoid hearing the Executioner’s Song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i09B6roDf0Y I’m sure. WW 30, GHB 27
Victoria Teabaggers (5-7) v Cambodia Mountain Men (5-7)
Well, the loser of this game is pretty much eliminated from playoff contention based on tie-breakers and remaining schedule. Both of them better get serious and hope on those Chariots of Fire http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKHPm3BSba8 for the rest of the season. The one that doesn’t will find themselves Lost Boys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsv_NQFbQzo VT 35, CMM 20
Bacolod Skullcrushers (1-11) v Guam Tigers (1-11)
Welcome to the relegation bowl, as the losers will almost certainly demote. The winner has a small chance to hang on. Which team gets the Kiss of the Spider Woman http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FVd6uRrYhM ? Bacolod 17, Guam 16

lolgaruda
Game of the Week
Three Kingdom Warriors (11-1) v Phu Khao Bow Chicka Brown Cows (10-2)
TKW is the Top Gun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VN8ze3S0Uj8 in lolgaruda right now, but you know the Cows would love to see what they can do. The main thing I’m wondering is if they can avoid looking as slow as a Mannequin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33wQLawUF2k like most of TKW’s other opponents. The Cows have shown they are a very good team, but unfortunatley for them TKW is in the next category up. TKW 45, Cows 20
Other lolgaruda Games
Buffalo Rampage (11-1) v Lefkada-Singapore Seahawks (3-9)
Buffalo is just biding their time until the TKW matchup later on, although I suspect neither will want to tip their hand so late in the season. LSS has seemingly avoided relegation and that’s a good start. This game may feel more like they’re in Platoon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPi8EQzJ2Bg for LSS though. That Buffalo offense is so smooth it’s like Blue Velvet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rbb5-WZ1VSw Buffalo 75, LSS 24
Lucid D.R.E.A.M. (10-2) v New York Empire (9-3)
This has the potential to be the most entertaining game of the week. If both teams show up, it should be a great matchup, although both teams likely have already nailed down home playoff spots. Which team has The Right Stuff http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuR1p7UdI2Y to do some playoff damage? Honestly I think both teams will Die Hard http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ia4BgnjPG7w come playoff time and one might even make the conference finals. Lucid 27, NYE 24
Buffalo Knights (7-5) v Krakow Kryptonite (5-6-1)
Krakow desperately needs to win this one to stay in the playoff race while Buffalo would like not to get embarrassed again like last week. If Krakow doesn’t show up for this one they’ll be on the first Airplane! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzRJWy-3_Dc to the off-season. You know Buffalo would like to simultaneously get back on the winning track while putting The Bill Chill http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O19k-YtwXTg on Krakow’s season. Buffalo 28, Krakow 21
Wu Dang Kung Fu Academy (6-5-1) v Quad Cities Quarantine (6-6)
This is another game where they might be trying to knock each other out of the playoff race. It will be interesting to see what a rare tie does to the final standings. Which team will give the other Das Boot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmbv_jJrwVs possibly ending the other’s chances? They’re both hoping their coordinators turn into Rain Man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKC3W0awjm0 for this one. Wu 20, QCQ 17
Boston Bears (5-7) v New People’s Army (0-12)
Boston gets a much needed by week in their race for the playoffs. They have two tough games remaining and will need to win one of them to get in. They better cut through the Sex, Lies and Videotape http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxdQQpJ9t-4 and get it done. Boston 156, NPA 6
Atlantic Great Whites (4-8) v Mandalay King Cobras (2-10)
Both out of the playoff race, these two teams are hoping to build a future rivalry in lolgaruda. For now they may as well form a Breakfast Club http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kaqQkIOgXQ and start planning for later. AGW 35, Mandalay 28
Sioux Falls Storm (3-9) v Tibetan Black Dragons (0-12)
Another win on the final season resume for SFS and something to build on for next season. If not for Prizzi’s Honor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEz13l-ULX0 then for their own. SFS 185, TBD 9
