Inbhir Narann(13-3) @ Ville Vikings(9-7)

Inbhir Naraan go into this game as heavy favourites unfortunately for the Vikings. Naraan's kicker is also the 3rd best in the league this season so you can count on him taking advantage should he be given the opportunity.

Ville Vikings has lost all 4 of there meetings in there history by big margins so I expect the HC will have no expectations going in to this wild card round.

Coming into this game Both teams has given us a statement.

INBHIR NARAAN
Damn I was hoping to join oakbark at St James's Gate Brewery for the same tour. I hope it was worth it mate and it is a shame that you have to face me in the play offs.

As to my kicker, Clayton Allen, I would prefer his completion percentage to be higher, but he does knock up the points when required.

I presume I should be thinking that I could reach, at least, the AC Championship game unless I get Deflators in the Divisional Round.

I don't expect to reach the Bowl as there are still holes in the teams' development and playbook. With the loss of my top OL at the end of the season, along with probably four retirements next season it will probably mean we will be beatable for a while in the future.


VILLE VIKINGS
We have been on a bender since we won the division after looking dead an buried so early into the season. Fuzzy heads all around but well deserved headaches this year.

Game plan wise, we are going to roll the dice, we may as well go for it, no one expects us to win, our fans don't even think we can, we have nothing to lose here. I don't even know the game plan yet and we won't until the night before the game. We will run onto that field look Bova's Boyz in the eye, punch em straight in face and take whatever comes our way.

The lads know all I want is everyone of them to walk off that field knowing they left everything out there and gave it there all.

Wild Thangs(10-6) @ LM Pirates(11-5)

These sides have met 8 times in there history and the Pirates have won the last 6. The Wild Thangs seems to have a few problems beating them which makes them the underdogs in this Wild Card tie. LM Pirates have scored 37 points minimum in there last 3 ties so Wild Thangs will have to find a way to contain them. LB Naser is 3rd ranked for interceptions for LM Pirates so Wild Thangs will have to bring there A game to get a result.

Coming into this game Both teams has given us a statement.

WILD THANGS (And his very well thought out WC pre game statement)
As usual, I have little to say - I hope we win!

LM PIRATES
Hi! I'm Fijer, the manager of LM Pirates. This year I have won my Division in 1.1 for the first time, so I am really uhappy. Looking back at the season I have made big mistakes, and I think if I hadn't made them I could even skip the Wild Card, but of course, the rest of the teams play too and they also make mistakes, so we would never know...

The best part of the season was the Win against Bova, totally unexpected, and that win made me think of going totally for the Division, so here we are

Rasin Naser is probably my favourite player in my team, he has been awesome since day 1. I also like my QB Mahmood, I think the next year is the one where he will be the Number 1 in the Depth Chart.

In PlayOffs... well, I think I have a chance of winning the Wild Card game, although it will be really different from the previous league games, so it won't be easy. If we win, I think that's the place where our season will end, I don't see us winning Deflators right now. Anyway, I am really happy with our season, so everything that comes is another prize for us.

Basterds(13-3) @ Amersfoort Alligators(12-4)

Amersfoort]Alligators enter there 3rd playoff and look to progress the Wild Card round for the first time. Amersfoort QB Bashir is 3rd for passing TDs in the league. Basterds however have become one of the toughest teams to beat in the league over the last couple seasons. Because of that they will be the favourites to progress to the next round. For Amesfoort its valuable playoff experience and extra income, I see this as to tough a tie for anything but a Basterds victory.

Coming into this game Both teams has given us a statement.

BASTERDS
Well, we met already this season which was quite clear at that time so I hope to do win again. But of course I see they seems improved since that and I have a tough SC Playoff match today - if I'm loosing that one the loss of MOR may also be a deciding factor.
So let's see how this will go out but to be honest, a loss would really be disappointing to me.
In general I hope to meet the Divers again this PO seasin for the third time this season - it's always fun to loose to them

Good luck everybody!


AMERSFOORT ALLIGATORS
So I am heading into the play offs for the third time. S21 I got knocked out in a very close game against deflators who would be the bowl champions that season. Then last season was my infamous sacking of my whole staff causing a massive hit on my TC. I then lost in dramatic fashion to Bison Nightcrew after failing to convert on 4th down in the end zone with the clock running out rather than go for a game tying FG.

Now I am facing the basterds, one of the favorites for the bowl. I am never expecting to go far in the PO but to clear the first round would be nice in terms of success and the money. I played basterds earlier this season and it was a game that was won by him scoring many big play TD's (over 20 yards on the play). Apart from that it was a pretty hard fought game.

I take solace from that and will game plan for him. On top of that, my team is not to be sniffed at either: I am 4th in the league in passing TDs, 6th in number of sacks and in the top half of other metrics as well.

There are two defining things for this game: if I can avoid being intercepted and if I can stop the running game. If I can do that then I have a good chance.

Especially interceptions have been a nightmare this season. Even in the last league game I was picked off twice in the red zone. Those were plays that cost me the game. And that was against Steelers. Against basterds I simply cannot afford one turnover. Fortunately interceptions are not a big part of his defense.

One last note, the new ELO based rules Pete has implemented are hitting me hard now after this loss to Steelers. 10% morale hit....ouch!

So in short, am I the underdog? Most certainly. Am I without a chance? Most certainly not. We will fight hard and fight to the end!

Toledo Tigers(13-3) @ Die Verdammten(13-3)

Toledo Tigers have the unfortunate pleasure of facing of against veteran Die Verdammten in the 1.1 playoff debut. Toledo does have history against there opponents and managed to beat them 31-21 earlier this season so it may not be as clear cut as it seems. Toledo has also managed results against Xu Da and Flow Gaming this season so will not go down with out a fight. Since coming down from Elite league season 20 Die Verdammten has gone out at the first hurdle on both occasions sides against what could be seen as inexperienced sides compared to his history so this tie is the most interesting of the round. Keep a close eye on this one.

Coming into this game Both teams has given us a statement.

TOLEDO TIGERS

The Toledo Tigers are expecting a very tough game against Lawinenhund's Die Verdammten team, who dominate the NC East Division and are ranked No. 1 in the league. Early in the season the Tigers upset Die Verdammten 31:21, but in the rematch Die Verdammten won 30:10. Both teams are strong in the passing game. The Tigers need to find a way to slow down Die Verdammten's passing from the Singleback and Shotgun formations.

DIE VERDAMMTEN
