Week 17 is here and it's a pretty anticlimactic one which is very sad.

AC
Claymore has a battle for the division championship. If Sydney wins or loses by less than 3 tds they take the crown from the Hawks.

Also in Claymore the Wildcats are hoping for a Sydney blowout so they can jump ahead of the Hawks and into the playoffs.

Chaser is hoping for an unlikely Wildcats loss to steal the 6 seed, but at least he's not getting relegated.

Magpies play the Chosenones in a loser goes down battle, unless it's a 1 point Chosenones win, then they hang on. If the Chosenones win and Roma happens to lose they could take the Admirals crown

NC
Malones would need a meltdown to lose the one seed as they are up 60 points on the Kraken.

Here's the big one, 3 teams fighting for one spot and the top 2 are underdogs. Dumba beats Steve and he's in. Letaidens needs a Dumba loss and to beat the Malones to snag the 6 seed. The Mystics have a long shot if both teams lose and he picks up 58 points on Dumba.

The mess that is Dragons. The Pikes win and they make the playoffs, if they lose and the Bobbers win they get relegated and the Bobbers retain the Dragon throne at 8-8. If Dissolve wins he avoids relegation, if he wins and the Bobbers lose he wins the division.

Here's the final win totals per region:

Monarchs 39
Claymore 36
Fire 34
Galaxy 30
Sea Devils 30
Dragons 30
Admirals 30
Thunder 27

So here's what you should be watching on Redzone TV:

Sydney V Hawks
Dumba V Blitz
Letaidens V Malones
Pikes V Dissolve
Bobbers V Bears
Chosenones V Magpies

A few other games could matter depending on the above games but that's not terribly likely.

Have a great weekend!

Last week of the season. There are a lot of excited matches to watch, but there are also a lot of them which don't mean anything.

With the information that prediction man has a score of 140:54 (72.2% correct) in 13 weeks (three he missed with his predictions) let's check it out what are the odds for final week of season 47 (I will be shorter for matches that will be played just for fun):

Alert Polar Bears Canada vs. Chelt Nam Bobbers England
If Bears win by 59 and LTCM lose their match Bears are still in Elite, but that has like 0,0000001% chance of happening, if Bobbers win they are Elite in season 48, if Bobbers win and Pikes lose Bobbers are once again No 1 in NC West, Bobbers by 13

AS Roma Wolves Czechrepublic vs. Bracciano Lakers Italy
Wolves need this win to win AC West, with a loss here and a ChosenOnes win they are probably No 2 (just 9 points PD differential), so they will do their job, Wolves by 17

CHEESE MODE Malones Usa vs. Letaidans Switzerland
Malones did their job for Elephants in their first meeting with Letaidans, Kraken failed to do their so Malones must do it twice, Letaidans had double matches with Zombaes with a 1:1 score in last two days, they are out of SC but still playing CoC, they are for sure out of Elite but are they out of PO?, Malones by 10

ChosenOnes Uk vs. BobBoy Magpies England
PO and relegation battle for one team, only relegation battle for other one, with a win Magpies are in Elite, with a win ChosenOnes are in Elite, it will be a match to watch, Magpies by 6

Dumbarajko Elephants Serbia vs. San Diego Blitz Usa
If Steve had Beat Zombaes he would be on a 30 wins in a row in competitive matches, looking for his 31, Elephants are hoping for a loss by Letaidans and a win just by 30 for Mystics to get to PO, Steve by 13

Highland Wildcats Scotland vs. Chuuou Hololivers Japan
With a win Wildcats are in PO, but they need big win and a Hawks loss to stay in Elite, I predict win and a relegation, Wildcats by 28

Long Term Capital Management Usa vs. The Pinellas Pikes Usa
Pikes are out of SC but still in CoC, so their morale is just fine, with a win they are No 1 in NC West, with a loss they will lose No 1 spot and will be hoping for Bobbers to lose to stay in Elite, LTCM stays in Elite with a win and goes down to D1 with a loss, Pikes by 12

Maykop Dynamos Russia vs. PR Chaser Usa
Chaser need a win and a Wildcats loss to get WC game as No 6 seed, Chaser by 16

Midnight Marauders Usa vs. Space Kraken Usa
Kraken failed me , so there is really short writing for him, Kraken by 24

mystics Usa vs. Devon Warriors Serbia
Warriors do your best and if you must lose, lose by small margin, Mystics looking for a week 17 miracle with both Letaidans and Elephants loss and their huge win, Mystics by 18

Norfolk Heroes Uk vs. Vienna Falcons 2 Austria
Heroes by 23

Sydney Rising Stars Australia vs. Stone Mountain Hawks 2 Germany
Both teams are in PO, Stars beat Hawks last time, it is time to revenge that loss, but Stars will stay No 1 in AC South, Hawks by 7

The Alpin Ducks France vs. Växjö Vikings AFC Sweden
Viking by 60

TigerCats Canada vs. Lincoln Towncars Usa
TCats by 14

Willemstad Bridges Netherlands vs. The Blue and White Austria
Bridges by 32

Zombaes Usa vs. Torino Black Cursed Bulls Italy
Zombaes by 15

Good luck to all of you guys

Malones don't fail me, I am counting on you

Steve please be gentle in second half.

28:0 with almost no yards by my team.

Mystics are half way to their miracle

Halfway, but they are barely winning their game. You are safe if the Malones can pick it up in the second half.

Chosenones score a 28 point 4th quarter to finish a crazy comeback and Roma's drive ends on the 5 with no points. They went from relegated to division champ and playoffs in 15 minutes. What a wild ride.

Dar you are the real winner here.

One loss would seal your fate but you managed to beat two teams with best score in NC and earn yourself a WC spot.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

For my team two good seasons in a row with 10-6 record but both seasons without PO spot.

AND WHAT A WIN BY CHOSENONES!!!!

28-0 last quarter that gave them a win and a PO spot since AS Roma lost their game!!!!!

Both my 1 seeds didn't make it and my champ decided to take the season off.... Don't think this will end up my best pre-season Bracket.


So let's see how it will definitely go now. Monarchs and Claymore each put 3 teams in the playoffs. That means Malones are rooting for a Wildcats Letaidens Championship.

AC
1. Bridges
2. Ticats
3. Sydney over 6. Wildcats
5. Hawks over 4. Chosenones

1. Bridges over 5. Hawks
3. Sydney over 2. Ticats

1. Bridges over 3. Sydney

NC
1. Malones
2. Blitz
6. Letaidens over 3. Vaxjo
5. Space Kraken over 4. Pikes

1. Malones over 6. Letaidens
2. Blitz over 5. Space Kraken

1. Malones over 2. Blitz


Championship
1. Bridges over 1. Malones

Clearly the best teams during the regular season. Which means they definitely won't win.

Have fun!

Way to go you big fat fellow

Can't believe Chaser went bot. Super surprising. Fire will be a 3 man division next season.

Thanks all for the fun season. I was happy to do better than anticipated. I shall return, with a more seasoned QB
