Little Rock, congrats on beating Georgia at home to get into the post-season... Next up, Georgia!

Nice to see Norfolk back in the playoffs.

Should be another good/close game.

Thanks Jester .... yes, its been awhile ... the team is competitive but definately will not turn any heads, I am afraid.

Good luck all. I wouldn't want to face any of the 4 NC teams. It'll be interesting to see what gives with Orlando's great offense versus Madison's great defense. And Little Rock beat us at home so I know from first hand experience how good they can be.

FYI
there will be a midweek on tuesday night.
I'm driving back from columbus ohio on tuesday, and will be home sometime tuesday night. i will do the update when i get home. could be around 9pm or so

Gotta go with Murf and the Magictones over Houston. but it will be close I think, maybe an OT game. Cleveland beats Norfolk in another close one. Madison takes out Orlando with the home field advantage and Georgia destroys Little Rock but hey, Little Rock getting in was a major win in itself.

We totally agree. I held out hope for a 10-6 season but didn't really think it was possible. I thought we'd get either 7 or 8 wins.

Houston, someone in OT (CLE/NFK), Orlando, Georgia.

I have a lot riding on this game. Just missed the playoffs last year and this year we need to capitilize. Living in the toughest division in the IFL makes playoff appearance very sweet.

Orlando is the only road team that's favored in tonight's game.

Orlando is the only road team that's favored in tonight's game.

Our team loves being the home dog. We're fired up and ready to go!!!

If we win the turnover battle I like our chances real well. We played @Orlando earlier this season and that was a game we should have put in the win column. We're at home for this one which will be nice. Good luck to everyone tonight!!!

I like all the home teams tonight to win.

[JesterBlaze]

Orlando holds on to win the only competitive game this week despite multiple horrible coaching calls as the game wore down.

GEO and CLE ended things early while MUR took a 17-10 lead to 31-10 or so while I blinked in the 4th.

Congrats to the winners!

Blah, hard to win with a banged up QB, but I had to play him. He turned it over twice in the red zone. He we scored a TD and FG on those drives, the game probably would have had a different ending. (we wouldn't have been passing so much at the end, they wouldn't have been super familiar, etc) Not making excuses, this was a clean sweep this season by Murf. We can't seem to beat them even when Surratt is healthy.

Good luck, Kobeck. Going to be rooting for you going forward!
