	Marquee Matchup: 51 degrees, 2MPH, Fair Vancouver ( 13-4, PR 86 ) at Newark ( 15-2, PR 84 ) Newark favored by 1
	Game 2: 51 degrees, 5MPH, Fair Fresno ( 11-7, PR 52 ) at Portland ( 13-4, PR 81 ) Portland favored by 8

Well, four left. Can Fresno complete the road game trifecta?
Not sure what to say about NWK-VAN. Cohesion seems roughly equal but Newark has the coaching advantage. And Newark's offense - I guess about the 3rd best in the league - behind London and Fresno - may be due for a breakout after only scoring 10 points last week. Finally, Newark's +21 turnover ratio was by far the league's best and I think we have to buck the odds and and least have a +1 for VAN to win the game. Anyway, I hope it is close since I'm 99% sure if it isn't it will be in the Bulldogs favor. GL Matt (and all)

We split with Portland during the regular season, with the road team winning in both games. Maybe that's a good sign for us in the one

We haven't been playing well lately. plain and simple. All of my gameplans are on my main computer which is still out of commission.
I'm hoping we can just find a way to scratch out another win here. to be in the final 4 is an honor and wasn't really what i was expecting. once we went on the winning streak, I started to see just how good these guys are. We're gonna need everyone's best game to win this one.

The AC battle is pretty cool. 2 teams from the same conference battling for the 3rd time.

good luck to all.

great game Mark
Our defense seemed to make plays when needed and we survived a great game. Again, I believe being at home makes all the difference in these types of close games. We gave it our all and I feel fortunate to have won this game. You've got a great team there and would have represented the NC well. How huge was my Cris Martinez signing. my nickel corner goes down so I sign martinez who shows up and grabs a pick!!

i flubbed up my offensive players and I ended up lining up Artie Abrams at WR. Let's just say he's more of a return specialist. turned out to be lucky as he had some huge receptions and ran a reverse for a 1st down.

well, that just ugly. We got shoved around on both sides of the ball. Good game Matt and good luck in the Championship.

Fresno is guaranteed to end the season as the highest winning percentage post-season team in the IFL, again with only the 1 appearance! Great run for a playoff rookie team!

GG Jave,

I never thought this one would've come down to special teams... The Bernard Strong return TD was the difference maker in the game. Sorry to see you leave the league, but I'm happy to get the last victory against you

We're definitely making the most of our one and only playoff appearance! We're feeling like the 2005 Steelers going from the last seed to the Bowl.
