PLAYOFF PREDICTIONS

ASFC CHAMPIONSHIP
This is going to pan out as a very exciting game - the Otters and Second Line are by far the two best teams in the league this season, with New Orleans controlling the pace of the league all season and going unbeaten at home, while the Otters are on an extremely hot streak over the last half of the season. Orange County has proven it can win anywhere, but I believe that the home field advantage added to all the talent on this Second Line roster will be too much for the Otters to handle.

27 - 31

NSFC CHAMPIONSHIP
Oh what could have been for the Yeti - a mere 60 seconds away from this game being held in Denver, Colorado now have a monumental task up ahead of them in a visit to Baltimore. Despite the lackluster year, the Hawks are still one of the most talented teams in the league, boasting stars such as former Yeti Ryan Applehort at QB as well as Avon Blocksdale on his final ride. While the Yeti offense is extremely talented, their complete and utter lack of any humans on their defense outside of Haruki Ishigawa and Howard Miller pulling two-way duty will be their downfall.

21 - 45

ULTIMUS
I think Baltimore is going to get beat just like they did in Week 14 - sure they beat up on the Yeti (and badly), but New Orleans crushed a much better Orange County, and they have the game at home as well. In the second rematch, I predict New Orleans will win big.

21 - 38

ROOT FOR THE UNDERDOG

Look look I know I just called for the Yeti to be turned into roadkill by the Hawks, but hear me out. This Yeti team can win. I know they've been atrocious on the road and only seem to be able to win at home, but they've beaten the best at home - taking down Baltimore AND New Orleans during two different home games. The Yeti also know they're nearing the end of their window with a lot of talent having left them this season, more to leave in the offseason, and the Liberty slowly creeping up behind them with a knife. This team is in win-now mode and that motivation has showed on the field. After a disappointing road trip to Orange County and Arizona, the Yeti finished the season 4-2 with those two signature wins, and almost defeated the Otters at home as well. The Hawks, on the other hand, started off 5-0 but finished the season 4-5 which included an embarrassing loss to the Liberty and only scraping by the league-worst Sabercats. While the Hawks have talent and home field advantage on their side, their recent struggles cannot be discounted - meaning the Yeti have a chance.
