  • Week 17 Preview

    Albaquerque (11-4) AT Fresno (8-7)
    A Matador win gives them the division and one of the top 2 seeds.
    A Fresno win keeps their 0000.1% playoff hopes alive.
    Does Fresno load up and play for pride?

    Anchorage (11-4) AT Portland (5-10)
    An Anchorage win and a Matador loss would give the Lynx a
    big late season comeback and a surprising division title.
    A loss sends them down to the #5 seed.
    Again, does Portland bring their A game to this late season matchup?

    Columbia (10-5) AT Texas (7-8 )
    A Fire win mixed with a Little Rock loss would give the Fire a division crown.
    A loss would send them down to the #5 seed, they have alot in common with Anchorage on this weekend.

    Dakota (8-7) AT Madison (5-10)
    A win for Dakota could give them a division title, a wildcard spot or nothing, depending on what else happens.
    Madison has underachieved this season, do they have enough left to make a statement?

    Iowa City (4-11) AT Cleveland (9-6)
    The Clawz are a win away from their 2nd Division title.
    Even with a loss they could still make the playoffs but they would need help.
    Iowa City have stumbled mightily following last years Division title but could play huge spoilers today.

    Lansing (7-8 ) AT Pittsburgh (8-7)
    It's pretty simple for the power.
    A win means the Division, even if they lose, A Dakota loss would still give them the crown.
    Lansing was an inch away from this game being just as important for them, as it is it means nothing, can they get up for it?

    Lawrence (8-7) AT Orlando (4-11)
    Both teams are out of the playoffs, meaning Orlandos string
    of 3 straight division titles comes to end.

    Little Rock (11-4) AT Tulsa (8-7)
    Little Rock wins and they get a top 2 seed,
    a loss and they could stumble from anywhere to 3,4 or 5.
    If they lose and Columbia wins, Columbia retakes the
    division crown they held in 03 and 04 but lost to the Toads last year.

    Louisiana (8-7) AT Houston (6-9)
    Louisiana wins and they finaly get the St. Louis monkey off their back and win their first Division title.
    A loss and they have to sit back and hope for a St. Louis loss or else they come up inches short again.

    Montreal (9-6) AT Wichita (4-11)
    A win for the Firebirds puts them in the playoffs.
    If Cleveland loses it's as the AFC North champs, if Cleveland win it's as a wildcard.
    A loss and they could still make it as a wildcard, but they would need other pieces to fall into place.

    Norfolk (11-4) AT Hartford (6-9)
    Norfolk will be a top 2 seed no matter what.

    Salt Lake City (9-6) AT Oakland (10-5)
    Maybe the biggest regular season game of the year.
    Winner takes the NFC West crown.

    St. Louis (8-7) AT Murfreesboro (3-12)
    A Cardinal win and a Louisiana loss gives them their 4th straight AFC South crown.

    Vancouver (5-10) AT Reno (5-10)
    The "Maybe Next Year" Bowl.

    Vermont (11-4) AT Newark (8-7)
    Vermont is almost certain to have a top 2 seed.
    A loss and some other stuff could knock them down a notch.
    Does Crespo put the Bulldogs on his back and try and make a statement?

    West Virginia (9-6) AT Boston (4-11)
    Need a win and some help from Cleveland and Montreal to get in as a Wild Card.
    I luv British womenz.

    Excellent work overall, but I think you are incorrect here. A Dakota loss and a Lansing win puts all three teams at 8-8. The first tiebreaker is head to head games, and Lansing would be 3-1 (2-0 vs Pit and 1-1 vs Dak), Pittsburgh 2-2 (2-0 vs Dakota and 0-2 vs Lan) and Dakota 1-3 (1-1 vs Lan and 0-2 vs Pit). Lansing would therefore win the tiebreaker. If h2h is not used for three or more teams, then it would first be division record, with Pit and Lan both at 4-2 and Dak 3-3, eliminating Dak. Pit and Lan would then be compared h2h, with Lansing winning that due to their 2-0 record.

      My understanding of a three way tie was that first a team is eliminated and then the process starts over from the remaining two. What I am saying is that the winner of the 3 way tie is not so important as the loser is eliminated, then the whole tiebreaker procedure is redone with the remining two teams.

        Biggles is right. Lansing can still win the division.

        No, that's incorrect. If a team wins a step outright, then they win the tiebreaker.

                Well it is time for Orlando's hot streak to end anyways. The teams in our division have a lot more talent then we do and deserve it. Just wait til next year baby!!
