Warrior General Games

As these were missing in Week 15, I'll try giving my thoughts on the final gameweek of the regular season:

Game of the Week
Warsaw Wolves @ Bath Killer Bees
The only game between two teams in the playoffs gets the GOTW tag, though in all honesty this should be an easy win for Bath to keep their hopes of a perfect season alive. The Wolves will take a 3-game losing streak into the playoffs, where a game against the Trombones will probably extend that streak to 4.

Bath to win by 28 points.

Interesting Games
Amsterdam Smokers @ Hamburg Parrots
Stockholm Meatballs @ Korb Destroyers
Roman Legion @ Amsterdam Affliction

These three games should all go as expected, meaning that three 12-4 teams will be sitting in the #4-#6 playoff spots. As they have all gained one win and one defeat against each other, it will go down to the number of points conceded. Currently:
Hamburg Parrots: 267
Korb Destroyers: 277
Amsterdam Affliction: 297 (expected 297)

I don't think either Hamburg or Korb will concede more than 20 points, meaning that Amsterdam will be stuck with the #6 spot and a game against LTS. I'll go out on a limb and say that Hamburg will concede more than 10 points more than Korb will, meaning that Korb will claim the home game for their match in the playoffs.

Hamburg to win by 80 points.
Korb to win by 45 points.
Amsterdam to max the scoreboard.

Only for Team Members
Glasgow Coloured Trombones @ Parts Unknown
I don't expect Glasgow to have too many problems here, with Parts having nothing to play for at this stage of the season. Glasgow will go on to play the Warsaw Wolves in the 1st round of the playoffs.

Glasgow to win by 35 points.

Tranmere Titans @ Plainview Bulldogs
You could toss a coin to determine the winner of this, but in either case it doesn't effect the playoff picture (sorry guys - hence why you're down here). I'm going for Tranmere to pull out a close win and leapfrog Parts into 9th place in the final league table.

Tranmere to win by 10.

La Tourette Syndrone @ Dublin Dragoons
Should be an easy win for us in the last game, though we won't be taking anything for granted.

Snooze Game
NFL Busts @ Porto People Eaters
The People Eaters guarantee the vets have one more shot at the POs by securing the #8 spot. I'm not sure how far into the playoffs they'll get going up against the Bees though.

Porto to max the scoreboard.

A Few Notes:
I think they changed the tiebreaker to points allowed this season. However, I am too lazy to research where I remember reading that.

Secondly, the blowout games count more than 255 points towards your points scored. They count the actual points. This makes those games harder to count as you have to go add up what they scored in each quarter. I noticed you were only giving AA 255 points and figured you probably didn't count Korb and Hamburg's scores above 255 either. It is entirely possible that they could score 400+ points in those games. (Bath just put up 547 points against the NFL Busts)

Didn't realise this...will go back through and alter when someone confirms what the league tiebreaker method is!

It has been posted by players numerous times that its points allowed. Havent seen a bort post about it though.

Hamburg Parrots 267
Korb Destroyers 277
Amsterdam Affliction 297

Amsterdam will give up 0 this week
Korb vs Stockholm
Hamburg vs Amsterdam Smokers

First tie breaker remains head to head or in case of more teams involved results in games against each other. Only thing that has changed is that points scored is not the next tie breaker but points allowed is, but that is only in cases where for instance in a three way tie the teams all went 1-1 against each other.

We are all 1-1 against each other.

Hamburg beat Korb
Korb beat Amsterdam
Amsterdam beat Hamburg

I've made the changes in the OP - thanks for the info guys.

Damn that 4th playoff spot is important! Home playoff cash!

Somehow us Parrots got to let up less then 10 points i think....

Good luck all, playoffs in Zeta look to be quite entertaining, any of the top 7 have a shot imo

Your lucky were gonna knock Korb out for you, before they knock you out...
All you gotta do is knock off LTS to do us the favor in return....

Then after we take care of business vs. those over confident #1 and #2 seeds, we can get down to business of proving your point or not..

That sounds like a plan.

Gratz, La Tourette. First and only team to score 100 on the Goons this season. lol

Well, we couldn't let you off the season without one!

Good luck next season with the re-building effort...be good to lock horns again in the future.
