found time for a write up on my day off..........i am not sure how many playoff teams there are going to be......in bleeding edge version the playoff format has been updated to mirror the NFLs new format (7 teams each conference, only the one seed gets a bye). i am writing this assuming there will be six teams per conference
the Gauchos stay hot and make it nine in a row after protecting home turf from the Revolution. the victory clinches the one seed for Buenos Aires. following an encouraging 6 game win streak, two consecutive losses have all but eliminated Philadelphia from playoff contention.......the Strongbows have now lost three in a row as the Butchers keep their playoff hopes alive with their third straight win. the Strongbows remain silent on the status of
RB Left Lane Jones ......Bayhawks
RB Russell Maki records his seventh game of 100 yards rushing and San Francisco has all but secured the New Worlds two seed.......Zippers win a boring one to take five straight and have positioned themselves on the inside track to a wild card spot.........concerns grow in Tijuana after the Tide lose three straight. the playoffs are still a possibility but the Tide do not seem to be the same force they were in the first half of the season. Tel Aviv secures the Asia division with a victory and have a chance to earn the number one seed in the Old World conference.....a stunner in Vancouver as the visiting Jaguars make it three straight with a shut out of the Trident on their own yard.
RB Boogie Barker takes the opening kick off 108 yards the other way for the games only points. both teams remain in playoff contention......
RB Mudtail Redd runs wild and the Anchors manage three 66+ yard drives of their first four possessions and shut out the Kraken in what has been labeled a "statement game".......Lions take the driver seat in Africa by winning a snoozefest in Lagos but face two tough games to finish the season and do not own the tiebreaker with the Deities........
WR Jermaine Messengers 83 yd 4th quarter td propels the Tornadoes to their third straight and remain in the playoff hunt.......the Golden Eagles fail to secure the M/CA division and lose the first installment of the Tex Mex bowl to the lowly Rodeo.....Power
CB Harry Valenti records his second 3 interception game of the year including a pick six in yet another embarrassing effort from Bushmasters
QB Brandon Watts........an epic fail for Rosario as they inexplicably start
QB Manuel Licht over
QB Craig Vines who goes on to complete zero of 43 passes......too little too late as the Owls are eliminated from playoffs despite a victory in Prague. the Owls are my pick for best team to not make the playoffs
