Obvious to me now that it'll be me vs you at one point.
Last time it was Marklar quivering in fear and praying I got beaten. I didn't, then I went through him in playoffs like he wasn't there.

Good work, you just made Super bowl VI the most boring in ND history. The result is known already. Dirty Bird the first 2-time ND Champ

 

[Bucketss]

Pretty sure the Herald Sun has been through here, as I see a big 2 page spread on the afl rookie draft with the heading in big bold letters... Last Chance Saloon

How dare they use it in any fashion other than a head to head fight to the death!!

 

[Dirty Bird]

Woodson, trademark that term!

 

[Marklar_33]

Last time it was Marklar quivering in fear and praying I got beaten. I didn't, then I went through him in playoffs like he wasn't there.

Couldn't possibly be any other reason...

 

[Dirty Bird]

Couldn't possibly be any other reason...

True, it wasn't fear.
It was envy.

I can't think of any other reason

First week I've struggled to pick my teams. Really hard week.

 

[Dirty Bird]

First week I've struggled to pick my teams. Really hard week.

That was me last week, I just ended up selecting teams and didn't even bother with CR. Left it as default.
I viewed all games last week 50/50.

I take that back, if I were to go CR. I'd have gone 14 Chargers, 13 Patriots, then picked all the other games out of a hat as I couldn't justify any of my other selections for more than 1cr.

 

[arakaan]

Bugger it. I'm rolling the dice with top 3 Cr's on the games tomorrow. Might as well know my fate by 4pm.

 

[Papa Juggs]

Cue Juggs posting an exclamation about how many posters have taken 16CR on Dallas.

Nervous anyone?

 

[Blacky]

Dallas are done.

This D is an absolute turd, and Romo is stinking it up

 

[Blacky]

Typical Dallas too, leading the division, masters of your own fate at home on thanksgiving.

Stink it up

 

[JeffDunne]

Typical Dallas too, leading the division, masters of your own fate at home on thanksgiving.

Stink it up

Yeah but that's why they're fun to watch.

They're like watching an Olympic sprinter run through a mine field. It doesn't matter how far they get you know the explosion is coming eventually.

Cue Juggs posting an exclamation about how many posters have taken 16CR on Dallas.

Nervous anyone?

wait people for 16CR on Dallas? Might not mind losing the 3CR I put on them then ...

 

[larkis]

On a serious note I have been burnt way too many times to invest any high CR into NFC East or AFC South divisions.

 

[Moo]

Tony 'Big Time' Romo .....Bring it on home

 

[Blacky]

Live to fight another day in 3xo

 

[Dirty Bird]

Woodson - What was bgt2110 's old username?

 

[Blacky]

Why don't you simply look yourself as you like to say.

It's simply BGT on the website if I am not mistaken

 

[Blacky]

Island Bomber who are you loading the strike on mate?

 

[Dirty Bird]

Why don't you simply look yourself as you like to say.

It's simply BGT on the website if I am not mistaken

I did look, but I couldn't see anything in the B's. Yet weirdly, it's there now. I thought it was something else entirely, but it's kinda a bitch to go through 84 names and figure out which it is.

But now that I've found him; 3 point lead so far. But nothing in the red. Big game next. Could separate one from the other.

I'm freaking out. Last week to make a big dive at it and my tips are looking too conservative.

GG do you have any sage advice for times like these?

ED SABOL CONFERENCE

# 1 SVEN vs #16 PHILLYCAT

The pressure is all on SVEN to elude the DEEVS Curse. For those unware of the DEEVS Curse, it's the inuagural ND season (2008) that rookie DEEVS finished with an ultra impressive 12-1 record, claiming the #1 seed. However, he faced the CR9 ranked, Wizard as the #16 seed, who bundled him out with a 111-102 defeat. DEEVS has vanished since. SVEN will enter this contest with PhillyCat, 34 points ahead in CR points differential, sitting at #6 vs PhillyCat's #28 CR ranking. SVEN is 5-1 vs 2013 Play-off bound opponents after having an impressive 10-1 season. PhillyCat is rookie who needed to overcome a slow 1-4 start but has rallied beautifully to win five of is last six. Is 1-0 vs the 2013 Play-off bound opponents. Expect PhillyCat to give SVEN a good run for his money. PhillyCat leads 30-27 after TGD games.

Triple Digit Scores: Tied 2-2
Highest season score: Sven 114 / PhillyCat 107
CR Position/CR Total: Sven: 6th/972 PhillyCat: Eq28th/938
Head to head: First meeting

Woody Line: Sven -5.5

*************************************

# 2 BLACKY vs #15 GEECATS07

Having already faced off in Week 3 with GeeCats07 coming away a 15 point victor (93-78), this match up is more about how GeeCats07 can overcome an early TGD stumble (trails 24-8) to get back on even terms as the CR standings proves plenty with 51 points separating them. GeeCats07 is no stranger to adversity already this season, bouncing back from a sluggish 1-4 start and is 1-1 vs 2013 Play-Off bound opponents while Blacky is 3-1 including taking the prized scalp of the #1 seed, SVEN. Currently on a five game winning streak. GeeCats07 will need to reach for more than a couple upsets to have any chance but until that happens, Blacky will be ready to dust off his hands with his first play-off win.


Triple Digit Scores: Tied 2-2
Highest season score: Blacky 116 / GeeCats07 103
CR Position/CR Total: Blacky 7th/967 GeeCats07 44th/916
Head to head: 1-0 GeeCats07

Woody Line: Blacky -12.5

*************************************

# 3 QUIN STICK vs #14 LARKIS

Quin Stick brings the longest winning streak into the ND Play-Offs with NINE, after going 0-2 to start his rookie campaign. Larkis enters as a secondary wildcard with already with a play-off victory under his belt from 2012 (Jonesy86). The sixty point CR differential indicates Larkis will be hard pressed to keep up against the model of consistency from Quin Stick who already leads by 8 points after TGD and is 1-1 vs Play-off opponents whereas Larkis is 1-2. However last season, Larkis sat at 68th on the CR standings with a 0-3 record against play-off opponents yet managed to reel off a stunning upset without scoring his highest score of the year. Larkis will present great nuisance value in this match up despite dropping a 10CR on TGD.


Triple Digit Scores: Larkis leads 2-1
Highest season score: QuinStick 101 / Larkis 122
CR Position/CR Total: QuinStick 15th/954 Larkis 69th/894
Head to head: First meeting

Woody Line: QuinStick -9.5

*************************************

# 4 BEEZ vs #13 TOMATOSAUCELING

Getting the bad week out of the way before the Play-offs is something of a positive for Beez who stumbled badly on the CR standings last week but the bad news is that his opponent is the reigning LAST CHANCE SALOON Champ as well as CR runner up from last season. Getting hot at the right time is what counts and this could spell trouble for Beez who will want to attain his third triple digit CR score of the season to have any chance. Tomatosauceling is the hunter in this match up, having qualified as a Secondary Wildcard, only 19 points in arrears and is starting to peak suddenly which will put the pressure right on the Jack Christensen Division winner. After TGD, it's only a five point margin in Beez favour.

Triple Digit Scores: Beez leads 2-0
Highest season score: Beez 112 / Tomatosauceling 98
CR Position/CR Total: Beez 39th/923 Tomatosauceling 54th/904
Head to head: First meeting

Woody Line: Beez -7.5

*************************************

# 5 TRAVODO88 vs #12 SODAPOP

Already a sizzling shoot-out start after TGD with both locked up with maximum points (45). The inaugural CR Champ, Sodapop (formally TACHawks) is showing the form that allowed him to bolt away in a canter in 2007 while Travodo88 is back for his third ND play-off campaign. With the only query on Travodo88 notching up just the one triple digit score despite being 18 points ahead of his opponent could be his downfall here. Sodapop is on target for his fifth triple digit score which could well be enough to pip Travodo88 in thrilling down to the wire finish.

Triple Digit Scores: Sodapop leads 4-1
Highest season score: Travodo88 110 / Sodapop 118
CR Position/CR Total: Travodo88 11th/960 Sodapop 11Eq11th/942
Head to head: First meeting

Woody Line: Sodapop -1.5

*************************************

# 6 DIRTY BIRD vs #11 BGT2110

The swagger of the 2010 ND Champ is back for a second tilt of an AE title as his opponent, BGT2110, seeks to silence him with a sneaky upset selection which shapes as the conclusive remedy after dropping 5CR on the Steelers on TGD. Both have an identical 2-3 record against Play-off bound opponents with just six points separating them on the CR standings. BGT2110 qualified as the secondary wildcard. Dirty Bird already a two time Division champ, looking to keep his 100% ND Play-Off record intact.

Triple Digit Scores: Tied 2-2
Highest season score: Dirty Bird 103 / BGT2110 114
CR Position/CR Total: Dirty Bird Eq22nd/943 BGT2110 Eq31st/937
Head to head: First meeting

Woody Line: DirtyBird -9.5

*************************************

# 7 LUKOZADE vs #10 STRIKER475

Looking at this contest from the CR standings viewpoint, it's got the Cinderella story written all over it. The only rookies to face-off in the ND Play-offs, despite neither qualifying as a Secondary WildCard!! It'll be interesting how deep they go into the play-offs considering Lukozade is clearly using Larkis' play-off blueprint for a first Play-off win, with a 1-4 record against the Play-off opponents (Larkis, remember had a 0-3 record last year). After TGD, Lukozade has taken the first advantage with seizing double digits on the TGD favs giving him a commanding 17 point lead, (42-25) with both going 3 from 3 on their picks.
Striker475 is 2-1-1 vs Play-off opponents, dropping just one match up since Week 5. Poise counts when it's the play-offs meaning Striker475 has already lined up his high confidence teams. Question is whether Lukozade can go 3 from 3 in his remaining double digit CR selections. This contest shapes as a likely shoot-out with both seeking to beat their week 2 highest scores.

Triple Digit Scores: Striker475 leads 2-1
Highest season score: Lukozade 112 / Striker475 111
CR Position/CR Total: Lukozade 60th/893 Striker475 56th/901
Head to head: First meeting

Woody Line: Striker475 -1.5

*************************************

# 8 NAKEDDEADGUY vs #9 SMITHS

There isn't much splitting these two with only THREE POINTS separating them on the CR standings. Smiths is 4-4 in match ups decided by five points while NDG is 2-2 of the same margin. Against other play-off opponents, Smiths is half a game ahead with a 2-2 record compared to NDG, 1-2-1, who tied with Striker745. Almost guaranteed to go down to the wire and perhaps a fifth TIE-breaker result in ND Play-off history as both are 3 from 3 after TGD with Smiths holding a 31-25 lead. NDG is 2-3 in three Play-offs series.

Triple Digit Scores: Tied 2-2
Highest season score: NakedDeadGuy 111 / Smiths 110
CR Position/CR Total: NakedDeadGuy Eq31st/937 Smiths 34th/934
Head to head: First meeting

Woody Line: NakedDeadGuy -0.5
