(S12) - PT 4 - Midseason Review

[speculadora]

Jaylon Broxton is feeling cautiously optimistic about where the Orange County Otters stand at this point in the season. They have won 6 games and lost just once, but trail the San Jose Sabercats, who are undefeated, in the standings. The Otters' only loss came in San Jose to those Sabercats and it was a nail-biter to the very end. Even though the Otters are in second place, they picked up a crucial road win against the Baltimore Hawks that, assuming things go according to plan, will position them to take the top spot in the conference in the second half of the NSFL season. The Sabercats still have to travel to Baltimore for a game and to Orange County. Both of those games are going to be tough. They also still have to face a New Orleans team that is still kicking and a Philadelphia team that is likely playoff bound, both games on the road. Orange County has to meet those same two challenges, but on the flip side they will face San Jose and Baltimore both in Orange County rather than away from it. It will hardly be an easy task, but it feels as if home field advantage is Orange County's to lose despite San Jose's outstanding start to the season. Still, if there's anything we know about this league it's that things rarely go according to plan. No matter what, the battle for the ASFC crown will be one to watch in the second half of the season.
