This week's preview is coming from Duluth, MN, and the beautiful Beacon Pointe Resort on the shores of Lake Superior. Yes, kids, just because I'm on vacation from my lucrative 40-hour per week gig driving a forklift, I'm never on vacation from thinking about football. Here we go, kids, the last week of the regular season, the playoff teams are set, it's time to figure out the seedings. We have some games that are essentially playoff games, and the winner will decide the Conference Champs. Last Week: 6-0 Season: 37-5 Stampede @ Phoenix A win for the Stampede clinches the West. The Phoenix will not be able to overpower the Stampede's D with their running game, in fact, the opposite will be true. Stampede by 10 Gladiators @ Force This one's a winner-take-all for the Conference. The Force showed their late loss before the bye may have been a fluke, and a re-worked offense for the Force may cause fits for the Gladiators. The Force have experience in big games, and that experience will be the difference. Force by 7 Predators @ Dragons The Dragons need to win big to take the Central here, and that won't happen. These teams played close Week 1, and it may be another nail-biter. Predators by 7 Spartans @ Crush 2010 has been a difficult year for both these teams. The Crush missed the playoffs for the first time ever, and the Spartans need to re-build for next year. The Orangeheads will come out in full force to give their team a great send off. Crush by 10 Giants @ Pioneers The Pioneers might rest their starters for a bit in this one, getting ready for the playoffs. The Giants want to play spoiler, but I don't think that's happening. Pioneers by 10 Arctic Blast @ Storm Will this be the Blasts' swan song? Their core players are getting older, recruiting has been clearly soft, something needs to be done to resurrect this once-proud franchise. The Storm, however, may use this game to figure out how to organize the team for 2011. Expect some different looks, and players in different positions. The Storm Chasers want a home win, and this week will be their best chance to make that happen. Storm by 4 Stay tuned next week for my Playoff Preview... |
