Final's Picks

It's been a fun season. There have been lots of upsets, way too many forfeits and a ton of great football. This definitely wasn't my finest year picking games (especially in the playoffs) but I did go 4 and 2 last week and I did call the Sun Devils All Blacks game exactly right and I did call the Bucs OPC game exactly right so at least I have that. Let's see if we can't rectify that with a solid championship weekend.

"C" finals:

If you would have asked me before the playoffs started who would win this game I would have bet the house on the Hounds but lately their offence has struggled mightily. They still have a very good defence though which they will need if they want to win this game. The Bucs coming off a very narrow victory over OPC will need to step up their game from last week to have any chance against the Hounds. The Bucs have a solid offence led by an experienced and talented QB but they don't have a great Defence. In the end this game will come down to whether QB Dave Bye has the ability and enough talent around him to pick apart a very talented Hounds Defence and whether or not the Hounds offence can finally get things figured out and put some scores up. I say maybe to the first thing and probably not to the second so give me the Bucs in a close low scoring game.

"B" Finals

The Raiders looked very impressive last week easily defeating a talented Lancers squad. Sure the Lancers were missing their starting QB but their full defence was there and the Raiders were still able to put up over 20 points. It was hard to gauge the Raiders defence as the Lancers had numerous dropped passes and also were not strong at the QB position but the Raiders offence showed it has what it takes to capture yet another "B" championship. The Mustangs on the other hand played a Bulldogs squad with only 6 players. ONLY 6 PLAYERS!!!!!! to a playoff game?????? That is just mind-boggling. The Mustangs barely won this game by a score of 12 - 6 despite having an extra player on the field for the entire game. That leads me to believe that The Bulldogs are very very good (and would have definitely taken the "B" championship had they had 7 players on Sunday) and that the Mustangs are not the team I thought they were. Again two weeks ago I would have taken the Mustangs in a heartbeat to win this game but after last week I'm going with the Raiders.

"A" Finals:

Well what a surprise Sun Devils v. Rogues. No offence to either team but JA was really routing for a Buckeyes v. All Blacks final this year and it almost happened. A total 4th quarter collapse by the All Blacks allowed the Sun Devils to sneak into the finals to take on a Rogues team that also just barely won over the Buckeyes. Now that the Sun Devils have actually played a game together for the first time in over a month have they got that chemistry back? They better hope so because they are going to need it against a Rogues team who if they have all their guys out are very tough to beat. These teams played each other very tough in 2 of their 3 matchups this year (tieing them both). In the third matchup though the Sun Devils took it 20 - 0 but I think the Rogues were short a number of key guys in that game. This should be an incredible back and forth game with lots of exciting plays. In the end I'll take the ......

Hmmmmmmmm it really could go either way .....

Sun Devils to just eek out a win and a second straight championship.

Should be three really good games on Sunday. Best of luck to all six teams.
