[Dawgfan19]

1. Predict your team's record 13 - 3
2. Predict the winner of your division Iowa City Arsenal
3. Predict the winner of your conference Iowa City Arsenal
4. Predict the Imperial Bowl winner Iowa City Arsenal (especially since many GMs already picked IWC)
5. Predict a breakout player on your team DE Emmett James had 6 sacks and a 5.6 pass rush pct in limited action in his rookie season. I'd expect double digit sacks this year.
6. Predict your team MVP Samuel Hillery
7. Other predictions IWC 4th round rookie WLB Sammie Chiaverini will make the pro bowl and contend for defensive RoY honors. He has the look of a sack machine.

3. Predict the winner of your conference Vancouver

7, 8, etc - Predict whatever you want Allen Gaylor to lead Orlando in rushing yards

[Dawgfan19]

Thought I'd bump this interesting thread for comment.

1. Predict your team's record 13 - 3
Hopefully we can win in week 17 and beat this prediction by 1 game.

2. Predict the winner of your division Iowa City Arsenal
IWC has clinched the division.

3. Predict the winner of your conference Iowa City Arsenal
Houston wins the tie breaker if the season ended today, but we still have a chance.

4. Predict the Imperial Bowl winner Iowa City Arsenal (especially since many GMs already picked IWC)
TBD

5. Predict a breakout player on your team DE Emmett James had 6 sacks and a 5.6 pass rush pct in limited action in his rookie season. I'd expect double digit sacks this year.
James needs 2 sacks in the last game.

6. Predict your team MVP Samuel Hillery
Hillery is clearly Iowa City's MVP.

7. Other predictions IWC 4th round rookie WLB Sammie Chiaverini will make the pro bowl and contend for defensive RoY honors. He has the look of a sack machine.
Had a concussion and missed most o the season - but watch this player in the future.

1. Predict your team's record 7-9
2. Predict the winner of your division Vermont Owls
3. Predict the winner of your conference Madison Demons
4. Predict the Imperial Bowl winner Iowa City Arsenal
5. Predict a breakout player on your team Too many old players to have a breakout player......
6. Predict your team MVP Nigel Herndon
7, For the first time since the 2008 season, we will not have a HOF QB behind center. This should be an interesting year to say the least
8. Hartford will make the playoffs this year, and continue to develop into one of the top teams in the AC. Great young team and they've been doing a great job of drafting and stockpiling talent
9. Madison will dominate the NC this year, winning the early season battle with Vancouver, who will finish with the 2nd playoff bye

interesting strategy!!!!

i feel like our record would have been 7-9 if we didn't make a QB move mid season. that completely changed the arc of this team.
I still believe that Madison is a great team and can go on a big playoff run, until IWC beats them in the imperial bowl.
Nigel has been our MVP this year averaging 180yds/gm from scrimmage.
Hartford is leading their division going into week 17 and has a 80% chance to make the playoffs
i was wrong about Vancouver. they took the next step, it just happened to be backward and not forward!!!

[rush_27]

1. Predict your team's record - 10-6(We finished 10-6)
2. Predict the winner of your division - Hartford Whalers (Hartford won the Division)
3. Predict the winner of your conference - Iowa City Arsenal (Iowa City won the Conference)
4. Predict the Imperial Bowl winner - Iowa City Arsenal (Iowa City won the Bowl)
5. Predict a breakout player on your team - WR Shaun Shannon (Shaun Shannon did have a good year but the breakout player was WR Carlos Rivard)
6. Predict your team MVP -SLB Duane 'Carpe' Diem (Duane Diem missed a large chunk of the season through injury. WR Rivard probably deserves team MVP)
7, 8, etc - Predict whatever you want - RB Edwin Thurman wins OROY (Edwin Thurman did win OROY)

Spot on in five of the predictions. I need to play the lottery more!
