Great game, Cobras
 Grats and good luck in the next round!!
It turned out to be actually a very good game by Snappers. We made more rushing yards and had much more passing yards than the Germans. And a good chance to win it with 15 secconds to go in a 9 yards to heaven attempt. Oh well Not sure what went wrong. 6 sacks to none obviously didn't help, but the main reason must be somewhere else, considering the yards. There were no interception returns and only one fumble on both sides, so I am not even sure where to look for it :-D Any suggestions? :-D The only thing that comes to my head, before looking deeper in the stats, is that our 3rd's were too often just a touch too short for the 1st down and it needs a look into the playbook. |

Thank you very much for the congratulations!
Yes, it really was a very good and, above all, extremely exciting game – it could have gone either way. Of course, I was especially lucky that my linebacker managed to break through on your final attempt and make the decisive sack. That was probably the key moment in the end. Now it’s up against the Minors once again – a really tough opponent. That will definitely be the next big challenge. Let’s see what will be possible this time! |

With that all we have for Wildcard games: 2026-02-10 17:00 Wildcard Playoff Cottbus Cobras @ Orono Ancient Snappers The most interesting game in the wildcards. But with the Snappers having not won a game against a strong opponent this season, I have a hard time picking them as a winner here. It looks like the Cobras are on an uplift trend, while the Snappers have a down year. I expect the Cobras to win, but since this is a game between quite evenly matched teams, everything goes. Cobras win. 
Snappers get burned by 2 big plays, gaining the Cobras enough points to keep the Snappers from winning. And even with all that, a crucial stop by the Cobras defense on 4th down did end all hopes for a comeback with a few ticks left on the clock. Los Angeles Chargers @ Trnje The Chargers got into the playoffs by upsetting the Lions and now they have to play Trnje, which they fought on season final for the 2nd this seaosn, again. And the game is a pillow fight at best. Chargers are building the team and are honestly not in shape for a playoff match. And Trnje is again in financial trouble and have their team gutted by forced roster cuts, while it seems the manager is not doing something activly to pamper the impact. By all odds should Trnje get the win, but here you never know. Regardless the winner will get crushed in the next round. Trnje win. 
Turnovers and a mixed up roster did not help Trnje to win that game here, even the Chargers did field a gazillion RBs and did blitz like hell. Joe Namath did keep his word and the Chargers won. Paxtang Black Panthers @ Lutetia Chaotic Smile The Panthers are a way tougher built team than Chaotic Smile and only a famous RZA booboo can save the home team from elimination. Black Panthers win.
This game became quite close, thanks to 3 missed field goals from the Panthers. Trnava Saints @ Birmingham Iron Iron is a developing team, which should not be in the playoffs, but because of lacking competition inside the division, they got the crown and now they get a kick on the jewels on wildcard day. Saints win.
A clear win by the Saints against a weaker opponent. And with that happend in the wildcard round we get for the divisional playoffs in 3 out of 4 games actual divisional rematches! 2026-02-14 17:00 Divisional Playoff Cottbus Cobras @ Suchdol Minors The series this season was 1-1, but overall of course the Minors as more matured team and home team is favored. I expect a quite close game. Minors win. Los Angeles Chargers @ Leverkusen Leopards The exception to the rematch rule this season. Actually I never played the team under the current ownership and I expect a clear win by my team. Leopards win. Paxtang Black Panthers @ Ruhrpott Miners Oh boy, it was almost clear they would meet at some point again. The series is 1-1 this season and the Miners are now the home team. Can go any way, will likely depend on turnovers at the right moment. In games like this did the Panthers mostly not win, so .... Miners win. Trnava Saints @ Black Dragons And this will be a deciding game inside the AC. No hard feeling to the Minors, but I think one of the two teams here will likely hit the Superbowl. With the Dragons being a bit toucher than the Saints and a 2-0 series for then during the season, I pick the Dragons again. Black Dragons win. Good luck to you all! |

yes, in this game it is not possible for a better team to lose to a worse opponent, so I also predict a loss for the Chargers

First of all, it's hard to tell, which team is actually the BETTER team, if you try to compare two teams. The reason for that is, it's not only roster maturity, not only playbook, not only substitution rules and also not also the bench in general, it is ALL that plus some random factors on gameday. Don't think that the team page % rate on parts of a team or the overall value do reflect the real strength of a team. If you take the higher values team against a lower valued team on those values as reference, then "upsets" on matches with difference of 10+ value points can happen. The wider the difference the less it happens, but it is far from a clear win for the higher value team, if a 80% team plays a 75% team. Another way might be the ELO value, which gives good hint, but it does not reflect roster makeovers, bad luck or just retirments. Also here a higher value is not an automatic win. In case of our meeting tomorrow the difference in the roster is quite high, so I would say, in 95 of 100 games easily my team should win. But those 5 games do very likely exist in the possible outcome space and sometimes it happens. Many many managers of high valued teams did rage quit, because of such unexpected losses against seemingly weaker teams. I remember a game (I think against the Snappers) which my team lost despite all indicators were clear on my side. But a black day on offense with many many turnovers did led to a loss, nobody expected. |

Great, next round we have on Thursday with 7 teams, 3 of them Elite. Finis Coronat Opus (Elite) @ The Blue and White -> pick Finis Coronat Opus
Leverkusen Leopards @ Yorkshire Sea-Owls -> pick Leopards
Lateralus Aenema @ Ruhrpott Miners -> pick -> pick Miners
Girona Dragons 1714 @ Suchdol Minors -> pick Minors
Black Dragons @ Paris Guardians -> pick Black Dragons
BURNABY BRUISERS @ Berlin Racoons (Elite) -> pick BRUISERS
Space Krakage (Elite) @ Quokkas on steroids -> pick Krakage
Autsch, a big spanking on that gameday for the monarchs region with 3-4 in results. My picks were 4-3. That makes it just 3 teams in the next round, with 2 teams from Elite. Stone Mountain Hawks 2 @ Ruhrpott Miners -> pick Hawks Air Force Falcons @ Space Krakage (Elite) -> pick Krakage Finis Coronat Opus (Elite) @ Willoughby Wookies -> pick Wookies Sorry, I think this will be too tough for most, but of course upsets can happen. Prove me wrong on my pick, please. Good luck to all! |

Sure, I haven't been here very long, but I don't think I've ever seen an 80% (active) team lose to a 60% team. |
