Root for the Underdog: Pick an away team in an upcoming game and try to convince yourself (and us) why they can win

Not sure if the Portland Pythons are considered the underdogs or not, they definitely should not be, but I am going to write about why they can win anyways. Yes, I know they barely squeaked by the trash Seawolves while Tijuana absolutely demolished the Marshals, and I know Tijuana had the most wins in the regular season. But what you are missing there is the fact that Portland has the most clutch QB in the league and the bust RB duo in the league. Christ is the Tom Brady of the NSFL, if you don't believe me just go back and watch that final drive. Down by 4, leading his team down by 4 points, and you lead your team all the way down the field to score a TD, including throwing the clutch touchdown pass with less than a minute left to go, you have to be considered an elite QB in crunch time. Combine that with the Shady Summer RB duo that cannot be stopped, only contained, then you have an offense that is unstoppable. Portland also boasts an elite shut down defense that features Mbanefo, Becker, and other elite shut down guys, the defense can not be scored on either.
