Robbed: Write about why a team that failed to make the playoffs should have over somebody else. - I mean there's really only one choice here. All the other remaining non-playoff teams are 4-10, 3-11, and 2-12. That's right, I'll write about the team that everyone else wrote about, the Yellowknife Wraiths. (Intermission: What kind of name is that? Okay, I googled it; Yellowknife is a city in Canada, but what about some lame name like Yellowknife Yaks or something? I digress... ) The Wraiths started the season off with 3 straight losses, and they weren't really close by any measures, the closest being 7 points apart, but it seemed that the team was still in its preseason stupor. It shook it off with a quality 27-16 win over the Saber-Cats, and then won 3 in a row to bring their record back to .500. They were one win away from a playoff spot, and Wraiths fans will protest that the Yeti are not worthy of a playoff spot. Maybe we can bribe the commissioner ????. Then again, you have to wonder, are the Wraiths really worthy of a playoff spot? It may just be the name that I have a grudge with, but you have to see that they themselves were the ones that put themselves into a deep hole to start the season with. The 3 games lost were on them.

Playoff Predictions: Give a short write up on each of the playoff matches (including the championship game). - Lets go with the DSFL portion of this since if we're being real that's the main part that I follow, being on the Luchadores. To be honest here I'm not that well versed in football stats and whatnot so I'll keep it simple. Like baby simple. Which I am. Cutting to the chase, we have first up the Tijuana Luchadores vs. the San Antonio Marshals. Luchadores win, easy. Just look at their records and their roster. Elite QB in Adriana Falconi and their running game is great. They'll just have to make sure the Marshalls don't take advantage of their somewhat-weak D. I'll have to go 42-28 Luchas. Next we have the Portland Pythons vs. the Kansas City Coyotes. They look pretty evenly matched, but I'll have to go Pythons since I think their running game is strong enough to pass the Coyotes. Finally, we have the Luchadores vs. the Pythons. I have a feeling I over-thought this. I spent a lot of time over-deliberating over how the Pythons would find away to run amok over the Lucha's D, but in the end I think the Luchadores, who in the end did have the best record, will get another title.
Root for the Underdog: Pick an away team in an upcoming game and try to convince yourself (and us) why they can win. - It seems like a lock for the New Orleans Orange Line to win it all again, and for good reason. They have dominating QBs that threw the second most touchdowns and the least interceptions, and were second in yards as well. They were also third in yards rushed and touchdowns from rushes, not to mention that their recieving corps were second in most receiving stats as well. That's the thing. The Orange Line are very strong in all parts of the game, but don't really have a shutdown system. Yes, their defense has the most interceptions, but are mostly second to the Yetis in other categories. For this reason, I pick the Hawks, who have the most touchdowns rushed, passes defended, and lead the league in passing percentage. All it takes is some luck (and tampering) for the Hawks to steal the trophy from the Orange Line. Lets not forget that the Hawks themselves are also an elite team, a tier above the rest of the contenders just as the Orange Line are a tier above the Hawks. The Hawks are 11-3, just one win away from 12-2, the Orange Line's record. The math doesn't work, but it just takes one win to even it up.
