Western Conference-
San Antonio Gunslingers (#8) @ Minnesota Skulls (#1) - I predict this to be a ....ye. Anyways...prediction. Minnesota has had one hell of a season. They are a very strong team and I really hope The Brawlers get the chance to go against them. It's what we've been waiting for. I think it will be the toughest game for us yet, with the exception of New York Nightmare. I think the Skulls deserve to move on and I think they will. They have scored high all season and I predict no other outcome here. Mixed gaming here. Could see alot of passing and rushing.
MS (37) Vs SAG (10) 37-10 Minnesota Wins
Back Yard Boys (#5) @ Fort Richardson Redskins (#4) - I predict this to be a good game. Last time they played each other they both averaged 200-300 yards and both did well on the passing game. It was a close one and I predict this one to be close as well. They where at home last game and Fort won 9-0 at home. I predict this game to be one of the "upsets". I think it'll be a close one but Back Yard Boys want revenge. What better way to do it then @ FRR's Stadium right?
FRR (13) Vs BYB (14) Back Yard Boys Win
College Station Aggies (#2) @ San Antonio Rahls (#7) - Wow, what a game this will be eh? 14-2 team going against a 10-6 team. Both teams with great potentiol. Rahls are strong and college station aggies are out to prove something. I think their last game against eachother where the Aggies won @ Rahls will be nothing like this game. I think the Aggies are a great team, however I feel they need improvement. They are stronger then alot of teams in the BBB Leagues but their Chemistry is lacking, sadly. I think this will have some effect on the game. I feel that the Rahls are looking for revenge and it being @ the Rahls, I see no other opportunity to get it then in the playoffs here. I predict a win for the Rahls here
. Rahls take this one in a close battle to the end. This one could go either way! I see Rahls getting this one though. Sorry Aggies, I wish the best for you in the playoffs.
CSA (17) @ SAR ( 21) San Antonio Rahls Win
Pecota All-Stars (#3) Vs South Bend Red Raiders (#6) - Alright so this is the last game in the 1st round for the Western Side. Well, in my opinion it will be as close as their last game. Last game it was close with alot of missed opportunities for Pecota. With 353 total net yards against South Bends 211 yards, I feel it wasn't very close at all and pecota missed alot of opportunities. I feel this game will be as close and both teams will play alot better then they did the last game where they saw eachother. More points maybe?. I think South Bend will PULL OUT AN UPSET. Even with the yard comparison from this game, it was so early in the season and the south bend raiders are looking stronger then ever. Coming off of 4 game winning streak, winning 6 out of 8 of their last games, I feel this will be a good one yet again. Even though it's at Pecota, I feel they want revenge on em. What worries me is Pecota has won 10 out of 10 of their last games, I feel it's time for a loss. I am going to go for South Bend Red Raiders on this one and look for another upset. However, it will be so close I may be eating my words after the game. With both teams chemistry being up to par, with both teams having impressive end-season games, I feel this one will be more of a scorer then their last game. I predict alot of yards and lot's of scoring compared to their last game where it was 9-6 Pecota. What worries me is Pecota has had some very strong games as well. They are scoring high but this game, could be a different story. Even with a big win over Back Yard Boys 28-21 and a big win against Kansas 44-7 as their last game of the season, still feeling the Raiders here. Raiders need to watch the passing game and the all-stars need to watch the running game. Alot of mixed play here. Big upset, will it happen? o.0
PAS (24) South Bend Red Raiders (27) - South Bend Red Raiders Win
Let's move on to the east, shall we?
East Conference-
Thundertown Brawlers (#1) Vs Boone Drinkabeers (#8) - This one could be closer then expected. With all the teams in the playoffs looking at how the other team played throughout the season, it's beginning to become clearer on what to defend against, and what to go up against offense wise. I feel like this one like the Minnesota game, won't be much of a close game. However, you really never knowin the playoffs. Boone Drinkabeers have done well to make it to the playoffs, however have had some tough games during the season. What's surprising is they held Jersey to 25 points with a loss 7-25, and they held Nashville to 24 points with a loss 24-10. That was a well fought game for such a team that's still in the training stages. Aren't most of us? Their Chemistry is well set, so is Thundertown Brawlers Chemistry. Which team really wants it more? I really can't go against my own team either, so I'm of course going Thundertown Brawlers here. However, never can get cocky because there are always upsets. What team will read the other? What team will force an upset in the playoffs? I feel the Boone Drinkabeers are still in the training stages and still have a way to go before they win a championship, not that we will win one this year either. However, I feel we are more established. I think it'll be a FAIRLY easy game for us. Again, never know. However, being @ Thundertown Brawlers, it'll be hard to get to us with our fans going crazy. Especially with our defense. They've done amazing this year.... Hell, let's get to the score. 17-0?...na...hmm o.0 Dinkabeers, don't drink too much before the game. lol. We'll drink with ya after, even if we lose.
TB (31) Drinkabeers (9) Thundertown Brawlers Win
Cincinnati Stoners(#4) Vs Indianapolis Inferno (#5) - As much as I want tthe stoners to win to face them in the playoffs, I really think Inferno may pull this one off. However, I think this one will be won by Inferno. I think both teams deserve to be here, both teams are good teams, and this is probably one of the toughest spots to play when starting the playoffs. A #4 team going against a #5 team. Both teams wanting a win bad to move on, both teams having good games in the season. I look at both teams and see they both played against New York Nightmare and had close games against them, however Inferno was the only team to come up with a win out of these 2 teams. Inferno has won alot of big games this season. They've beaten New York Nightmare, Kansas Flashpoint, Nashville Power, and Jersey Shore Hammerheads (1st team to beat them). They barely beat the Warbirds and lost against the Stoners and Brawlers. I feel they are more established now at the end of the season, and I feel they are looking for revenge. Aren't all teams out to get the other team in the playoffs that beat them during the season?? I predict a win for Inferno here, given I would love for the Stoners to win. I think both teams are good and I think it will be fairly close. Inferno averaging 17+ per game, Stoners averaging 20+ per game, I still want to go with Inferno. They look too well established at the end of the season to not go for them. They've both earned their spot, who will take it to the next step? Going with inferno here. Stoners may lose at home
IInferno (24) Stoners (20) - Inferno Wins
Jersey Shore Hammerheads (#2) Vs Blacksburg Gobblers (#7) - Well well, I think the Hammerheads where a little overrated at the start of the season. Everyone thought they would come out to be the #1 team, but hey could they in the playoffs? They are a very strong team and can't be underestimated under any circumstances. I think they just fell into some bad luck a few games and that's what kept them from winning every game. With only 3 games lost during the season and all of them being tough games, I really see this game being nothing but a shutout. The Hammerheads have not allowed more then 17 points in most games they've played this season. They are playing at home in the playoffs and last time they played the Gobblers at home they beat them 33-16. I really see them winning this one again, especially being in the playoffs. They are averaging 27+ points per game, Gobblers are averaging 20+ per game. With the Gobblers having a so-so season, I see them losing this game. What is surprising is their close game against the New York Nightmare. They only lost by 12 that game with a loss 12-24. They have had some tough games this season and every game they've played has been close, if they lost. I feel this one will yet again be a close one. So you know what, I take back my shutout comment. I think it'll be closer then that of a shutout. My pick is the Hammerheads to bring this one in. They are just too good of a team to let a #7 team take them off that early in the playoffs.
JSH (31) Gobblers (17) - Jersey Shore Hammerheads Wins
New York Nightmare (#3) Vs Nashville Power (#6) - I really think New York Nightmare was an underrated team when they fist started the season. I saw them as no threat, little did I know. Now, they are a team I do not want to face in the playoffs. They are a very well established team. When they 1st started the season they lost against the Brooklyn Brawlers and the Inferno. That's why I saw them as no threat to us at the 1st of the season. All teams have improved since then. They only lost against the Thundertown Brawlers by 3 in OVERTIME. That was a very good game and probably one of the toughest games they've had yet this season. They really wanted that game. They've also lost against the Warbirds and barely Beat the Clams. Don't get me wrong, every team is improving, however those teams aren't up there yet in the rankings and still have something to prove. I think they could have done better against those 2 teams, however hey teams have bad days. I see the Nightmare winning here, however would love to see an upset by NASHVILLE POWER. Would love it, but I feel like New York Nightmare is a strong team. They are so wishy washy though on their games. One game they lose against a team that's not so great and one game they beat a team that's up in the top 6....they are confusing and this could def. hurt the Nashville Power because the Nightmare are a hard team to read. Nightmare Averaging 24+ points per game and the Nashville Power averaging 20+ per game, I see this being one fought out battle. This will probably be one of the closest games in the 1st round and one of the best games. It's @ New York Nightmare and even though home field advantage doesn't play a big factor in the gameplay just yet, I still feel this is an advantage to NYN. Not only because the ticket sales, because it just brings them more confidence. I think they'll win...but it could be either way in this one!
NYN (28) NP (20) - New York Nightmare Wins
I really can't see any teams totally blowing out other teams and winning by more then 30 points. Hey, you never know. But really, it's the playoffs. I hope all games are close as they should be. These are really good teams and all of these teams have earned their spots here. I do think there are still some good teams that missed out on the playoffs and should have been here.
