MDFFA - Championship Weekend

Championship weekend is upon us in MDFFA's Spring league. Being part of the Victors as been pretty exciting and I think that we have a chance to contend. But let me put my bias aside.

Championship Bracket:
3pm: #3 Arsenal vs #6 Raiders

Arsenal had a great season... they are 7-1. Personally I say 6-2 with that double OT win over the Victors in which one of their guys even admitted that the ref blew that call in the endzone that would have sealed it. Regardless it was a great game. Some other notable games: They lost to the Blaze 24-0, Beat Compound 18-0, and perhaps more significantly beat the Raiders two weeks ago 19-12.

Raiders got into the playoffs...they played well against some lesser teams but 3 wins in a row helps your confidence. Key losses are shutouts vs the scorpions and Bengals... and perhaps as mentioned below the loss to the Arsenal a few weeks ago..

Prediction: Arsenal 18 - Raiders 7

Championship Bracket:
4:30pm: #4 Bengals vs #5 Victors

The Bengals have had an interesting season... They have 3 losses, one each to the Scorpions and Blaze... and some debacle versus the Brigade. Three of their six wins are impressive high scoring shut outs. I keep hearing these things about Packer players showing up and I can't help but wonder how it must be to have to bring in ringers for the playoffs. How does that affect chemistry?

This was the Victors first season in MDFFA... they have had an up and down season at first but capped off the regular season with a 3 game win streak. I think the key game for them was holding Scorpions to six points.

Prediction: Bengals 7 - Victors 13

Okay... I am tired now..

Consolation Bracket:
Red Knights beat Nightmares: 21 - 7
Trojans trounce the Bridgade: 24 - 12
Compound beats Trojans: 18 - 14
Stallions beat Red Knights: 7 - 0

Compound probably had one of the toughest schedules out of all of these teams in this bracket. They win the Consolation Bracket over the Stallions 14-6.

I will post again on Saturday night... lets see how Saturday goes...

I don't know what our rules are on rain but the forecast is pretty crappy tomorrow...
