Playoff Predictions:
SFC Matchup: The San Antonio Marshals take on the Tijuana Luchadores. Marshals come into play having won 7 straight including 2 of those being against Tijuana. The defenses of the 2 teams are very close in terms of turnovers and points allowed this season so it will have to be the offensive side of the ball that determines the winner. The undisputed best offense in the league outmatches the Luchadores' and continues to dominate at home sending San Antonio to another Ultimini appearance.
NFC Matchup: The Kansas City Coyotes host the Portland Pythons. KC is also on a massive win streak and boasts a defense that gave up the least points of all DSFL teams as well as an offense that has really started to hit their stride late in the season. The Coyotes will defend their home turf, lead by Gus T.T. Showbiz, Kolby Deringer, and Declan Harp, and claim victory over the defending DSFL champs.
Ultimini: Kansas City visits San Antonio for the final game of the season. The Marshals defense will prove too strong for the Coyote offense as the league leaders in sacks, tackles for loss, and defensive touchdowns spoil KC's dreams. The Marshals offense, led by Kevin Fitzpatrick, Marquise Brown, and Footballer Catcherman, just need to contain Kolby Deringer to put up big points as they've done all season. (224 words)
Playoff Review:
As you can see from the above, my DSFL predictions weren't quite as spot on as I had hoped. In the SFC matchup, we had the San Antonio Marshals hosting the Tijuana Luchadores. The game was in a stalemate all the way through with the defenses for both teams forcing punt after punt. The Marshals led 10-7 heading into the 4th quarter before tacking on another 3 points from a field goal by Emilio Ramero in the final 6 minutes of game time. The next drive the Luchadores finally got there offense going as they got good field position off the ensuing kickoff, and drove down the field where Sydney Spinelli ran in a 16 yard rush on 4th and 3 with 2 minutes left. In the NFC game, the Coyotes did their job defending their home turf against the visiting Portland Pythons. LaMarcus Strike had himself a day for Kansas City as he carried the ball 35 times for 127 yards to really hold the Time of Possession advantage for his team, in addition to catching 4 passes out of the backfield with 1 for a touchdown. The Coyotes went up by a touchdown in the 2nd quarter and never looked back as they won 24-13. (207 words)
That Magic Moment:
For those of you that didn't watch the Ultimini game between the Kansas City Coyotes and the Tijuana Luchadores, you missed an absolute epic title game. The Coyotes, playing at home, jumped on the Luchadores hard and fast early. They grabbed a 17-0 lead in the first half thanks to 2 redzone touchdown rushes by superstar LaMarcus Strike and were looking poised for a blowout, however, Tijuana came out of the halftime locker room with some new life. They would hold the Coyotes to only 3 more points the rest of the way while their platoon of quarterbacks, Sam Penner and Andreas Metaxas, would throw for a touchdown each. Tijuana clawed back to within 2 points with 5 minutes remaining thanks to a punt return by Sydney Spinelli and then held KC to a few more punts. The Luchadores got the ball back for a 2-minute drill where they drove from their own 27 to the KC 33 with around 40 seconds left and with no timeouts sent the field goal unit out. Kyle Corbett, who had been absolutely incredible all season, took his drop back quickly, lined it up, and drilled the 50 yarder to win it as time expired. The team went ballistic, lifting Corbett on their shoulders, the fans that made the treck up to Kansas City stormed the field and celebrated with their team as Ultimini champions of Season 8. I doubt Corbett pays for a meal in Tijuana for the rest of his life. (249 words)
