Warrior General Games

I think as the season wore on it was pretty clear that there were four top teams from each conference. Teams 5-8 might not agree but….its true. I’m fairly glad there were no upsets because now each game could completely go either way. I’ll be interested to see what everyone else thinks is going to happen

Western Conference

#1 San Diego vs #4 Omaha

Back in week 12 this was the team everyone thought would finally beat San Diego. It was a great, close game and San Diego squeaked by winning 16-13. As the season progressed I felt that this would end up being the Western Conference finals matchup, but with Anchorage and Albuquerque both only losing twice, Omaha got stuck with the 4 seed and these two great teams face off in the quarterfinals. Since week 1 the only team to score more than 16 on Omaha is Anchorage, and San Diego’s offense can normally run with anyone and score just enough to get it done, whether that’s 39 or 16.

Prediction: San Diego 16 Omaha 13

#2 Albuquerque vs #3 Anchorage

Albuquerque was able to shut down Anchorage’s very good offense, sacking AJ Clutch 5 times and holding HB Jon Jones to a 1.3 YPC average. Even though Albuquerque still gained a decent number of yards, Anchorage did bend but they never broke, as Albuquerque only won 16-10. All season we have been waiting for the Anchorage/San Diego showdown in the WCFs. Are we going to get it?

Anchorage 16 Albuquerque 10


Eastern Conference

#1 Akron vs #4 Memphis

Last years Cinderella team Memphis looks to do the impossible and end Akrons perfect season a lot earlier than anyone would expect. Akron handled them fairly easily in their regular season matchup, winning 24-7. I don’t see much changing and I don’t see why anyone else would either

Prediction: Akron 31 Memphis 10

#2 Alpine vs #3 Chicago

These two teams haven’t meet since week one and I’m sure a lot has changed since then regarding boosting and just figuring out gameplans. Back in week 1 I had Chicago as the favorite to beat Alpine and while things may have changed can Alpine beat this great Bruins squad two times in one season? This has the potential to be the best game of the round.

Prediction: Alpine 28 Chicago 27

As usual great analysis. However I'd pick Alby over Anchorage in a close one. Defense wins championships and Alby has the best d in the conference. And their offense always seems to get just enough done to win.

Albuquerque 13 Anchorage 10.

I think Albuquerque is going to win. I want Anchorage to win (and San Diego) only so we can see a Anchorage/San Diego showdown. We're just as likely to see Omaha/Albuquerque IMO. The Western Final 4 is going to be fun

great job man

Congrats to Memphis for advancing. It's a shame the light had to go out in the house.

Thanks Sabres, always a great read. Looking forward to your contributions here for the rest of the season and next year!

I would be surprised if we could put up 28 on the Bruins. I predict a game with two teams scoring below 20.

Thanks! I'm pretty sure that will end against Akron though.

I have said before that the Mustangs are championship game favorites IMO. Therefore would rather face the Anchorage Puddle Puppies than the Mustangs.

What? Don't ya want to face San Diego? Hah! NEWS BULLETIN! GT FEARS THE MIGHTY MARAUDERS!

=P

Breaking News: Akron admits they are scared of San Diego, withdraws from playoffs. More at 11

Actually that would be game of the year if we got to play San Diego again. My team has been begging for revenge since the last game.

As long as the game is in San Diego, Anchorage is too cold. And I hear the girls have beards..

Well I am pulling for Akron, but not because I don't like you guys. But because I'd rather play you guys next season than Akron. Playing them is an automatic loss.
