Offensive Comparison: Compare one offensive player from each team in a series.
Two players that are going to come up huge for their respective teams during the playoffs are going to be none other than Angus Winchester of the Orange County Otters and Tim Pest of the Arizona Outlaws. Both men are leaders for their respective offensive lines, and they both put in countless hours into the gym. Angus Winchester has over 175 hours total in the gym, while Tim Pest is at 118.
Angus Winchester was drafted 25th overall to the Orange County Otters and has been a force to be reckoned with since the start. Throughout 14 games this year, he has a staggering 65 pancakes and 0 sacks allowed. Mr. Winchester is a building block for years to come in Orange County, and even thought as to be the MVP of the league with his amazing play and continued carry of the Otters line.
The thing about Mr. Pest is that he is a Season 2 Waiver pick up. This means that Mr. Pest was a late comer to the league, and already put in that many hours in the gym for the Outlaws. Tim has already put in a lot of hours in the gym and even though his stats are not the best in the world, in 13 games he has 42 pancakes with 12 sacks allowed. The numbers game isn’t nearly as good as Winchester but he is another Offensive Lineman that will help push Arizona far.
Both of these players will try and keep their offensive lines afloat during the playoff match-up between the Outlaws and the Otters this week, and one can only watch in amazement as these two men will try and lead their team father into the playoffs.

Defensive Comparison: Compare one defensive player from each team in a series.
A position that has not gotten a lot of love this year is one position that will play a huge role in the upcoming matchup between the Yellowknife Wraiths and the Colorado Yeti. The Safety position, which is headlined by Alex Hansen in Yellowstone and Vikian Marmeladov in Colorado will be one that can help push either team to a chance to play for the Ultimus Trophy.
Alex Hansen, through 14 games this year, has recorded 74 tackles, 1 forced fumble, 3 sacks, 1 interception and 1 pass deflection. Mr. Hansen is number 3 in total tackles for Yellowstone, meaning he is there on a lot of the plays going on in the backfield. He may not be getting the big stats like interceptions, but he will always make sure you are going down and going down hard.
Vikian Marmeladov through 14 games has 62 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 2 forced fumbles, 1 sack, 4 interceptions, 4 pass deflections and a Defensive Touchdown. Marmeladov is more of a ball-hawking safety, and it can help turn Colorado shut down Chris Orosz and his passing game. Marmeladov will be hawking throughout the secondary for Colorado against Yellowstone, and it will be a game to remember on the defensive side.
Both these players are not the leader of their respected defenses, but both are part of the glue that holds them together. Look for both Hansen and Marmeladov to make a difference in their playoff matchup.

Bottom Third: Write about why the Baltimore Hawks and/or San Jose Sabercats were not able to make the playoffs.
A big problem for Baltimore this year comes on both fronts. The Offensive Line could not keep Scrub Kyubee up on his feet, or give him enough time to make the right play. The Offensive Line alone let up an abysmal 39 sacks during the 14 game season. Even though that only averages to 2.78 sacks a game, it really did hurt the team. A major reason to that happening, is probably the lack of help on the Line. The only active Lineman in Baltimore is Vincent Sharpei. The team averaged 15.6 Pancakes a game, which is towards the bottom of the league.
Another problem that Baltimore faced this year was the defense, or lack thereof. The Hawks defense allowed 330 points throughout the whole season, which averages to 23.6 points a game. The points allowed throughout and per game is the most in the league! No team is going to win giving up that many points a game, especially when your Offensive line cannot keep your Quarterback on his feet. A big problem that the Baltimore Hawks had, was the lack of ability to get to the quarterback. They only had 36 sacks on the season, which is only 2.5 sacks a game, which is lowest in the league. There is going to have to be a lot addressed in the offseason, along with the Season 2 Draft to get the team back in contention for going to the playoffs.

Future Talent: Write about which S2 waiver pickup will or did have the biggest impact in the playoffs.
One Season 2 Waiver pick up that will have a huge impact for their team has to be Greg Clegane of the Orange County Otters. Throughout 14 games he has had 40 pancakes and allowed 7 sacks. His stats aren’t like the great Angus Winchester, but being on the same line as him, someone is going to allow the sacks. Greg has been a major workhorse, already logging in over 136 hours in the gym, and he is one of the strongest men in the league. Look for Clegane to be a road block against The Outlaws Defense which is leading the league with 61 sacks. Hopefully Clegane can help put a stop to that.
Look for Mr. Clegane to help open up the line to push Leroy Jenkins through. Look for Mr. Clegane to help win the trench war against the Outlaws and keep their defense off the field, allowing the Otters to continually push. The biggest battle on the football field is always between the lines, and Greg brings a lot to the table for the Otters. Clegane is looking forward to smash some heads against the Outlaws, and I for one would not be out there trying to stop him as he rampages throughout the game.

Playoff Predictions: Give a short write up on each of the playoff matches (including the championship game).
Otters vs. Outlaws
This game will go down as one of the most anticipated games in the History of the League. People will be talking about it for years, The Otters, who are 1-3 against the Outlaws on the season, bring possibly the best defense of the season to the game. Allowing only 196 points throughout 14 games, the Otters are going to have to do a lot to try and contain a potent Arizona Offense that is leading the League with 277 Points. It is going to be a tough game, and one that comes down to the wire, but I believe the Otters win a close one.
Final Score – Otters-21 Outlaws-20
Wraiths vs. Yeti
Another close game will be happening in the playoffs this year. The Wraiths, before week 14, were riding a 5 game winning streak, before seeing it snapped against the Yeti. Even though the Wraiths just lost to the Yeti, it is not something that the Wraiths are worried about. The potent Wraiths offense is second in the league, scoring 18.2 points per game, and only allowing 16. It will be a close game, but the Wraiths have the slight edge.
Final Score – Wraiths-28 Yeti-21
Championship: Otters v. Wraiths
The ASFC has been the strongest division this year, and that is saying a lot. Having both the Otters and the Outlaws come out of the ASFC is scary. The Wraiths do have the GM of the league, and there could be some trickery involved going into the Championship game. It will be another close one, with the Wraiths edging out the Otters on a last second field goal to win the First Ever Ultimus Trophy.
Final Score – Wraiths-24, Otters-21
