The home teams have their work cut out for them this week!

[Matt]

so many great matchups.

really looking forward to watching NFK vs. CLE. Two top notch AC teams going at it.

On the home front, I need The King to have a near perfect game again for us to win. Burger's stats seem to really drop when comparing his playoff stats to regular season. Bulldog fans are really wanting a big playoff run. We'll see what we're able to give them.

Vipers honored to be in the marquee matchup in this wildcard schedule that has fielded some pretty awesome teams.

Also, locked and loaded to play Cleveland , a team that has taken charge of the AC North in recent years. This game should meet all exepctations to its pregame build-up. In my opionion, I think the AC East was a much tougher division as a whole than the AC North and am hoping that that stiffer competition bears true in this game. None the less, I have great respect for the Clawz as well as the Iowa Snipe Hunters from that division.

We have met four times before in the playoffs. The last time, in '12, the Clawz easily won 27-17. The Vipers won the previous three meetings and in all three of those years, we went on to play in the Imperial Bowl. So it seems that the Clawz game may be the lucky charm we need to conquer in order to continue in this year's quest to once again get into that game. On that same note however, the year that the Clawz beat us in 2012, they went on to the Imperial Bowl as well. Pretty spooky stuff.

Bring on the game ... the Vipers are ready.

A mostly healthy Texas team travels to Reno. Last year at this time 3-4 of my top players where injured. This year in training camp I adjusted for more weight training and special teams. It seems to have helped.
Reno has some great players and I expect it to be a war. I did notice that they have some starters that are disgruntled due to sitting out the last game. I wonder if that effects their play. GL Reno.

I am good with that... whoever wins goes to the big dance. Both qb's coming off big games. The qb that plays the best should bring home the win. Lozier... enough said. The guy awesome I have always hated playing the vipers because of him... GL r00k

[Suicane]

I hope Old Man Lozier has his thermals on tonight.

[r00k]

Yea, I saw the weather ... pretty cold ... thank God there is no snow though.

Finger knows how to keep his hands warm though ... there's a handwarmer that God has given him that is conveniently located in his pants!

[tarcone]

So Finger stincks his hands in his anus to get warm? What a man.

GO RENO!!!
