Can't hold a candle? I think I can give them a run for their money. Lol. My 2 losses were close 4th quarter comebacks to playoff teams.

And you might have seen it, the Champ of Champ Cup did also start. The 1st round is usually a BOT bashing, except 4 unlucky teams, who have to fight already against each other for the next round. This season we have 3 participants, since Space Kraken did win Elite last season, and they were one of the 4 unlucky teams to play a serious game in round one, but won that one. So, 3 games in round 2 (next Friday):  Space Kraken @ Non Ducor Duco
Social Distance Runners @ Black Dragons
Bracciano Lakers @ Hemet Hooligans
Good luck to all teams.  A depressing 0-3 in this 2nd round marks the end of the Monarchs teams games in CoC. |

29.06.2024 Doves @ Hopping Rabbits The Doves are favored to win this. A Doves win would give them the chance to climb to #3, otherwise they will finish #4, thanks to PD a loss would mean nothing regarding the division title. The Rabbits have only with some very unlikely events a chance to make the playoffs. I think that would be a high Leopards win and a high Paddies loss. A clear Doves win did give them the #3 in the conference. Rabbits did not make it, as expected. jack6 wrote:
Orono Ancient Snappers @ Leverkusen Leopards The winner will take the division, the loser will be either #6 in case of a Paddies loss, or out of the playoffs in case of a Paddies win. As predicted the game was not that one-sided as some Snappers did suggest. MOTY by the Snappers and a rookie Leopards QB did made this a close win for the Leopards to earn #4 and the Snappers did get #6 in the conference. jack6 wrote:
Paddies Drummers @ Blue Devils The Blue Devils are favored to win here and get the #1 spot in the conference undefeated. Such a win would very likely push the Drummers out of the playoffs, a loss of the Devils would cast the loser of Leopards/Snappers out of the playoffs. Close than expected did the Blue Devils win this to win the #1 spot undefeated. Paddies had the same win-loss rate as Snappers, but 28 points less in PD. jack6 wrote:
KAFakofers @ Caplit e salama Caplit e salama is favored to win here. Caplit e salama will finish #1 anyway, KAFakofers could in theory climb to #5, but in reality they are stuck at #6. A clear win did give also Caplit e salama the #1 spot in their conference. KAFakofers did get #6 as expected. Now, that was the regular season. The playoffs are coming. For the Wildcards we have: AC Orono Ancient Snappers @ Doves A very tough matchup to pick, since we have 2 teams hard to tell, what we will see. Snappers are on paper a bit better. but that MOTY did cost them a lot of PC. The Doves are a bit weaker, but did win last season that matchup twice and are rested. I lean towards the Doves in a close game. Sydney Sloths @ Leverkusen Leopards The Sloths did win some upsets and if my QB does again play INT-lottery, this can become another one of those. But if all goes right, Leopards should win this. NC KAFakofers @ Ruhrpott Miners The Miners are the better team, but are the only team facing a Supercup game a day before this one and they are not favored to win the Supercaup game. This might cause a bit of a moral setback, which might make this game closer than it should be. Still I pick the Miners, since KAFakofers did so far not really convince me to be a contender. Paxtang Black Panthers @ Fighting Frankonian And this will be the most interesting match, since both teams are contenders and the winner has a good chance to get to the Bowl. Panthers did challenge inside the division and was only 12 points away to win it. The Frankonians did win their division, but lost all games against contenders. I pick here the Panthers in a close one. Now the outlook further. In contradiction to other posters, I see in the AC 3 contenders, quite close together. Blue Devils, Saints and Leopards are all quite on the same level and day form will determine the Conference Champ. And in the NC I see actually 5 teams of the 6 to be in contention. Caplit e salama did win it all, but on the fluffiest schedule, so next game will be the 1st real test of their season. Could be their end already. Sfniners08 are for me the favorite in a very close group, then do follow Miners, FRankonians and Panthers. Depended on day form, any of them can win the conference. |

We had a 5-9 record on the 1st round, with the Elite teams getting 2-1. Some quite close games, but at the end, we lost many games as region. That means we have 5 teams left for 2nd round, with 2 Elite teams. Ruhrpott Miners @ Niceville Norsemen
 Sfniner08 @ BW Roadrunners
Burnaby Bruisers @ Trnava Saints
Schoburg Franklins @ Space Kraken (ELITE)
Black Dragons (ELITE) @ Brookfield Ukies
Bruisers - Saints is almost a Civil war, since Bruisers did start in Monarchs League long time ago, but they left the region. Good luck to all in the 2nd round. We have a 3-2 record in the last round, with both Elite teams 2-0. That gives this matchups for 3rd round: Black Dragons @ vamosahi Sfniner08 @ San Diego Blitz Space Kraken @ Gilets Jaunés Good luck to all! |

Despite and regardless of upsets and puzzles and mysteries and wonders and strange stuff, my prediction.
One team with a major injury-related absence: 
Liú Cheng (OL/KAFakofers) Wildcard Playoff 
Orono Ancient Snappers @ Doves => Doves Sydney Sloths @ Leverkusen Leopards => Leopards KAFakofers @ Ruhrpott Miners => Miners Paxtang Black Panthers @ Fighting Frankonian => Black Panthers Good luck to all teams.  |

A major surprise. At least for me, it really was.
Good job, you Snappers |

I lean towards the Doves in a close game. The Doves lost this with a turnover ratio of 5-1. Such a game is hard, if not impossible, to win. Snappers advance to the Divisional Playofs to face the unbeaten Blue Devils. jack6 wrote:

The Sloth did have 2 TDs after turnovers, which kept them im the game for some time, but at the end their offense did not gain enough yardage to overcome the Leopards. Leopards win to face now the Saints. jack6 wrote:

This could have been a much higher win for the Miners, but they had to settle with several field goals, than scoring TDs. But that was way enough, since the KAFakofers did not gain a lot on their offense. Miners will face Sfniners08 next. jack6 wrote:

Panthers did challenge inside the division and was only 12 points away to win it. The Frankonians did win their division, but lost all games against contenders. I pick here the Panthers in a close one. The Panthers did win this mainly by scoring after turnovers, which they were able to create several times in the 1st half and especially in the 2nd quarter. The rest was a match between quite equal teams, but that deficit from the 1st half was just too much to overcome. Panthers will play Caplit e salama in the Divisional Playoffs. Which brings us directly to those games of the Divisional Playoffs. AC Leverkusen Leopards @ Trnava Saints Quite evenly matchup with a few differences in the team. Leopards had shrink their team, and are in a transition phase on several positions, which means they lack EXP there. Saints have a mature, roster and invenst a lot on several positions, but have only a HC, no ACs. So war, this did give them a strong team and during the season they have won against the Leopards by 10. But this match here can go any way. If the Leopards do commit too many turnovers, the season is over. If the Saints face a perfect Leopards team, they will lose. I will not pick against my team, so I pick Leopards in a close one. Orono Ancient Snappers @ Blue Devils Here the Blue Devils are clearly the favorite. During the season the game was won by the Blue Devils by 30+ points. I don't expect such a big result again, but honestly something between 2 and 2 scores difference. Blue Devils win. NC Paxtang Black Panthers @ Caplit e salama This looks on paper as a clear game. I mean the unbeaten team does face the #5? In reality, I think the Panthers have good chance to win here. Caplit e salama had a fluffy schedule and the Panthers were very close to win their division against strong opponents. I expect a close game and pick Panthers win. Ruhrpott Miners @ Sfniner08 Together with the Leopards-Saints game, surely the toughest game to pick. Both teams are strong, but the Miners won during the season that matchup by 3. Since both teams are according to the Miners manager able to hold a candle, the big question will be, who has a flashlight in their pocket. Sfniners08 will get their ass handed to them in the Supercup game, but that should not impact the game here much, since the moral hit should be small. This can go any way. I pick Sfniners in a close one. EDIT: Added only a empty line for better readability. Last edited on 2024-07-06 20:12:12 by jack6 |
