2 HUGE divisional games headlining this week's wildcard games

[JesterBlaze]

Great week of IFL action. Love every game!!

[Beeznik]

Oh man. Which team shows up? We have made a habit of blowing leads this year. Without Garrod, who we are going to sit, it could be tough. We may be looking to outscore Tulsa.

2 top notch offenses take battle. Im looking for a 45-42 type game. Luckily, we are outstanding at home. That will be the difference I think.

[tarcone]

Oh yeah, Beez. Your the only team in the division to not win an Imperial Bowl. No pressure, slacker.

We are getting there. It may not come this year, but with our roster...2 1sts and 2 2nds...it'll come.

agree totally with this statement.

Huge benefit to having these playoff games at home......

My picks this week are
Tulsa
Vermont
Cleveland
West Virginia


and i pick 50% of the road teams. lol.
I wouldn't be surprised one bit if montreal wins on road either.

[r00k]

good luck to the participants tonight ... all games look to be good ones.

[Jave]

Working on gameplan now. It's great to be playing for one of the playoff spots. It's been a long ass drought for the city of Oakland. Even if I'm one an done were gonna put up a fight!

[Beeznik]

Gameplan is in. We're ready. We'll likely need some breaks in order to win this one in Tulsa.

Good luck Tarc...but not really!

[tarcone]

I think this is what it will be like for Beez:

[tarcone]

Good Luck!
