LOL. I am afraid I subscribe to a different pattern. We are gonna break even. Considering we have 3 matches with bots in a row in the near future, my prediction is 2 losses in the next two . Consider yourself lucky

From my point of view you can win your next match against Black Panthers.

Review of matchday 7
The Miners made an interception against the Orono Ancient Snappers and had to accept a fumble. On the positive side, they gained almost 300 yards more ground and were able to provoke 4 sacks and 3 fumbles.

Final score: Ruhrpott Miners 31 @ 10 Orono Ancient Snappers
In the end, a convincing victory. Greetings to jpnwrt.

Surprises of matchday 7
Berlin Racoons 30 @ 27 Black Habaneros
It seems that the Habaneros have not yet recovered from the defeat on the last matchday. It was only in the last quarter that an improvement was noticeable, but it was only enough to correct the result.

Preview of matchday 8
Bye week.

We've tried. I even gave the team out-of-schedule PC training. Our defense wasn't bad. Most of the Panthers' drives we've managed to keep far enough only for a punt. But our offense was horrible today. We rarely managed a second first down. Or may be it wasn't our offense, but our opponents' defense who was at fault .The only TD was a deep deep pass.
And the worst was - we allowed 2 lo-ong returns. One of the things I love the most in football, second only to rushing TD by quarterbacks. But I would much prefer seeing one by _our_ KR :-D

ps. I may be a little harsh on my team, though. Our 777 ELO against 982, even knowing ELO is not all that matters, means even my slight hope for a surprise here didn't have a lot of real weight.

Surprises of matchday 8
KAFakofers 91 @ 28 Cottbus Cobras
A completely surprising result in terms of the score. Far too many errors on the part of the Cobras led to the KAFakofers' very high score. 2 allowed sacks, 3 fumbles and 8 interceptions speak for themselves.

Preview of matchday 9
Against a BOT. Young players collect EXP (TC is at 100%). Time to find our formation and players their position.

A bit late to the party, but holy moly I was so baffled by how the game went for me!
Finally an almost error free game in terms of my QB.

The BYE weeks are over, all teams are on the same page now.

Let's have a look on the league and how it might turn out. There are 7 games left to play for every team, but many of those are between BOTs and human controlled teams. The games with 2 human controlled teams involved will be deciding.

The AC has right now 10 human controlled teams, of whom 6 will get a playoff spot.

We start as usuall with the AC East, which has 3 human controlled teams and one clear favorite to win the division.

Trnava Saints back from their trip to elite and is for me still a mystery, regarding setup.
But it seems to work for them, so who am I to criticize it. They are 8-1 so far and have no real competition inside the division, since the Habaneros did switch the division start of the season. They play 4 meaningful games and of those they are the favorite in every game. The closest match will be next gameday against the Rabbits, but even there will be a loss a big surprise. The rest would be Major upsets. So, likely they will finish 15-1 and will win the division, big time. They will likely finish TOP2 inside the conference, my pick is right now at #2, because of PD.
Berlin Racoons are 2nd in the division and 6-3. They play 4 human controlled teams and are in 2 of those favored, 2 will likely be losses. The favored ones could be close calls, so the team might actually lose those also and the season goes to hell. The Saints game is very likely a loss and Republicanos de Piratini has invested a lot in players, so they are on paper already stronger and will eventually win against Berlin. Likely record at season end is 11-5, which would grant them eventually the #6 spot, but only if they beat the Snappers in PD. I see them not in the playoffs right now.
The 3rd team in the division is Derpenstein Devils, who have right now an 5-4 record. The team is in building up mode, so the remaining games will all be a challenge. They have 3 BOT games and 4 games against other managers. The Trnje game is likely the only important game, they can win, even it will be a close one. The rest I expect to be losses, which would result in a final record of 9-7. That will not be enough for a playoff spot.

The AC North has 2 quite weak human controlled teams.

The Blatná Jaguars have a chance to win the division. At 6-3 right now, they have to face only 3 human controlled teams for the regaining games. In only one of them, they are the favorites, but that is the most important one, against the Cobras. Likely final record will be 11-5, which will be combined with the division title a conference #4 seat for the AC.
Next up are the Cottbus Cobras, 5-4 at the moment. The quite new team is building up the team and has to play 3 human teams. Of those games, the Tigers game is the most likely win, since the Tigers are also building up the team, but lack TC and PC right now. The other games are likely losses or very likely losses, so they will finish likely at 10-6, which will be not enough for a playoff spot.

Inside the AC South are 3 human controlled Teams.

We have the Hopping Rabbits at 8-1 and they 4 meaningful games left. Against the Saints it will be likely a loss, same against the Leopards. The games against the other 2 division teams should be theirs, which would give the team a 13-3 final record. That would be enough to become #3 inside the conference.
The Doves have a record right now of 6-3 and have a quite easy remaining schedule. With 4 BOTs the team does get already more than most already and has to face only as tough team the Rabbits, with the other 2 likely being wins. That means, the Team will gather a record of 12-4, which will likely be enough for a Playoff spot
And the quite new Team of Elessar Crows is 5-4 and has to face 5 human teams, even most are almost as weak as they are. But unfortune, the Crows are the Underdog in every of the 5 games, which lead me to the projection of a final record of 7-9 and no playoff spot.

The last division inside the AC is the AC West with 2 human teams.

My team, the Leverkusen Leopards, are right now 8-1 and will have to play 5 BOT teams and 2 human teams, which is one of the most fluffy remaining schedule of the league. The 2 games are against the Rabbits and the Snappers, in which I see my team as favorite, even though my team does struggle right now, when my QB starts to throw INTs like Bonbons on carneval. I see a 15-1 record and a ton of PD to let my Team take the #1 seat inside the conference.
The Orono Ancient Snappers are 5-4, which is a bit surprising. But the easy part of the season is coming, with 5 BOT teams, the Leopards (that will be of Course not easy) and the Crows. Hence the Team will finish 11-5 at the end and will likely beat the Racoons on PD to finish at #6.

Likely final conference Standings:

Leverkusen Leopards 15-1
Trnava Saints 15-1
Hopping Rabbits 13-3
Blatná Jaguars 11-5
Doves 12-4
Orono Ancient Snappers 11-5
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Berlin Racoons 11-5
Cottbus Cobras 10-6
Derpenstein Devils 9-7
Elessar Crows 7-9

That brings us to the NC, which has right now 11 human teams playing for 6 playoff spots.

The NC East as 3 of those human controlled teams and champ of last season will not win this year.

Thanks to the Black Habaneros, who shifted division at the start of the season, Trnje will for sure not win the division again. The Habaneros have a record of 7-2 at the moment and they have 4 meaningful games left. In all but 1 game they are favored, only the game against Caplit e salama is likely a loss. That would lead to a 13-3 record, which translated to a projected #3 spot in the playoffs.
The Republicanos de Piratini are gaining ground fast at 6-3, but are likely not strong enough to overcome the Habaneros. They play only 1 BOT, so 6 human vs human games. In 4 of those the team is favored, only Habaneros and Panthers are likely out of their league. The projected record is 11-5, which gives them ...
The last seasons division winner Trnje does not look good at 4-5. For whatever reason the stadium stays small, which gives them a disadvantage on wages and therefore strength. Why? I don't know. They are only favored in 1 game. That means they will finish 6-10, thanks to the BOT game on top. No Playoffs.

Inside the NC North also 3 teams are in the mix, even though, only 1 team is really competitive.

The birney's weekenders could be a good team, if the manager would care a bit more often. The team is left sometimes for weeks, but the manager comes back early enough to avoid BOT status. Still the team suffers from that lack of attention, especially on the roster. Usually with that Kind of behavior the team goes BOT at some point, but so far no sign for that. Right now it looks more like the team gets a bit more attention than in the past months. The record is 6-3 and the team will face 5 human controlled teams, and in 4 of those games they are favorites. Only the Caplit e salama game is likely a loss, which would mean, the team will finish 12-4 and at #4 in the conference.
The Paris Chiefs are very new and at 5-4. They play 5 human teams in the remaining season and in all they are the underdog. That means, hey will likely finish 7-9, and with no playoff spot.
The Prague Lions are even newer, a bit, and at 4-5 in an even worse place. But they will play also 5 human controlled teams, of which one is also brand new and I gave them the nod there, for the rest likely losses, which means they will finish also 7-9 with no playoffs.

The NC South has only 2 human teams, but both are good enough to make the Playoffs, but only one will likely make it.

The Ruhrpott Miners are unbeaten at 9-0 and will win the division easily, thanks to a limping Panthers teams. With only 3 human controlled opponents left the schedule the list of opponents is short. The 2 games against the Panthers will be tough, but I expect wins here and the KAFakofers should lose anyway. That means likely the team will finish perfect 16-0 and at #1 in the conference.
At 2nd place here are the Paxtang Black Panthers who are surprisingly only 5-4 right now. They lost against weaker opponents, which might cost them a playoff spot. With only 2 BOT games and 2 games against the Miners there are only 3 of 5 games against human teams likely a win. That means they will likely finish 10-6, which is not enough to crack the TOP6 spots. No playoffs this season.

As last division there is the NC West, featuring 3 human teams.

Back from elite is Caplit e salama with 8-1 on track to get into the playoffs. They play 5 human teams, and in all of those games they are favored to win. So the projection is, they finish 15-1 and #2 inside the conference.
The KAFakofers are 7-2 right now and will play only 3 human opponents, in which they are only favored in 1 game. Thanks to the BOT games the Team will likely finish 12-4, which would be enough for the #5 spot in the playoffs.
And the last team in the overview are the Tokha Tigers, who are quite new and at 5-4 not in a good shape to make the playoffs. They are building the team and I picked them in 1 of the 5 games against human managers as winner, the rest will be likely losses. That would mean the team finishes 8-8, out of the playoff spots.

Likely final conference Standings:

Ruhrpott Miners 16-0
Caplit e salama 15-1
Black Habaneros 13-3
birney's weekenders 12-4
KAFakofers 12-4
Republicanos de Piratini 11-5
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Paxtang Black Panthers 10-6
Tokha Tigers 8-8
