You won't win money from me. All my coins on your favourites.
Even though it would feel lonely in the division left by Leverkusen.

First round in the Supercup

Only one of 4 elite teams survived the first round in the Supercup:
Caplit e salama

The balance of the D1 teams (4 w out of 14) is also not outstanding:
Blue Devils, Ruhrpott Miners, Suchdol Minors, The Chicago Cubs


Champ of the Champs

At least 50% have reached the next round:
Caplit e salama


Second round in the Supercup

Caplit e salama, Monarchs last elite team lost in the second round in the Supercup.

Only two of four teams have advanced to the next round:
Blue Devils, Ruhrpott Miners



Champ of the Champs
Round of 16
Caplit e salama: our last hope is eliminated. What a pity.

Let's hope we don't face each other in the next round.

I think my super cup run will end on Thursday. Luck of the draw I got KMN Mandalorians.

Rabbits are a bit worse, Snappers have a injured RB.
I think, overall the Snappers will win here, since the RBs don't have that much of an inpact and Rabbits are not in good shape.

Snappers win.

Unreal Historical success.
Bring on the Czechs!


EDIT:

Ps.
Looks like your analysis was spot on, @Jack6. Rushes 120:150 yds, but passes made up for it 300:220. To my surprise, block seems to be the key to the success, despite our defense being relatively better, on paper. Which probably only means that the Hosts' "D" was not up to the task.
I think I may have had some impact, too, from the managerial desk. Just a short time ago having made a switch in the team of our AC's. Looking at the performance of two positions affected, one of them has not lost too much of effectiveness, while the other significantly improved.

Wildcard Playoff

birney's weekenders @ Hemet Hooligans => weekenders
After the weekenders showed two match days ago that they can win against the BOT Hooligans, they should be able to do it again this match day.


Clear victory for the weekenders. They had the BOT team under control.

Black Habaneros Germany @ The Chicago Cubs => Cubs
A game on a knife edge. Both teams can win here. Perhaps the home advantage and the greater experience of the team manager are in the Cubs' favor.


They had just closed the gap to 10 points, only to be given 21 points. Bitter defeat for the Habaneros.

Orono Ancient Snappers @ Hopping Rabbits => Snappers
There weren't many games between the teams. The Snappers won one game 4 seasons ago. Based on the strength ratios, the Snappers seem to have the advantage.


From the third quarter onwards, the Snappers took control of the game and brought the victory over time.

Paxtang Black Panthers @ Trnje => Panthers
The Panthers have two big wins in the books against Trnje. There is a lot, if not everything, on the field in the Panthers' favor.


Panthers never left any doubt about their victory at any point in the game.

2024-12-17 17:00 Wildcard Playoff

With the Hooligans went BOT, this is done deal.
weekenders win.

That went right. But likely without any specific setup by the weekenders.

Black Habaneros @ The Chicago Cubs
Cubs are sightly better on paper, from my point of view, but daytime form can elimitate the whole advantage.
My feeling is, it will be close and the Cubs will have the last say.

Cubs win.

Quite a clear win here. Didn't expect that.

Offense of the Rabbits had no chance.

Paxtang Black Panthers @ Trnje
A no brainer, Panthers are way stronger than the Trnje.
Sure, everything can happen, but very likely, this will be a blowout win by the Panthers.

Black Panthers win.

Trnje is still a long way away from fielding a contending team. Not sure the owner does really want that.

My prediction for next round:

2024-12-21 17:00 Divisional Playoff
birney's weekenders @ Blue Devils
With the weekenders having a weaker team and not really interested in RZA anymore. this should be very onesided.
Blue Devils win.

Orono Ancient Snappers @ Suchdol Minors
The Minors are one of the favorites for the Bowl, if not THE favorite.
In the past 2 seasons, including this season, clear wins for Minors.
Likely the Snappers will get a tough lession here.

Minors win.

Paxtang Black Panthers @ Ruhrpott Miners
This seems to become something like Ravens-Steelers in the NFL. 2 seasons ago just regular season games, split 1-1, last season the team did meet 3 times and Miners did sweep the Panthers 3-0, including the playoffs.
This season already twice again and Minors again 2-0, but don't let yourselve fooled, Panthers were often very close. At home this is likely again a Miners win, but everything goes.

Miners win.

The Chicago Cubs @ Leverkusen Leopards
My team is clearly the favorite.
But my QB can be Ryan Leaf or Patrick Mahomes. With Leaf my team loses, with Mahomes a clear win.

Leopards win.

Third round in the Supercup

The last two teams had lost their games.

PS: That was probably the worst dress rehearsal I've ever seen. 14 first downs in the whole game.
Hopefully things can only get better in the next game.

I think all the home teams are favorites. Clear favorites. Except for the Miners, who could turn out to be a surprise package after their performance in the Supercup. We will see what happen.
