It's got to be something in my settings. If the players were bad, it wouldn't look like that I set Rubberband to 20. seems like you have yours set too high 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malfatron Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Week 8 Preview: Playoff Hunt: Cheesy: 1. Reykjavík Direwolves (6-1) 2. Norway Knights (5-2) 3. Rio de Janeiro Pirates (5-2) 4. Anchorage Moose (4-3) - 3-2 Conf record In the Hunt: 5. Hanoi Viet Kongs (4-3) - 3-3 Conf record 6. Lancaster Fighting Amish (3-4) - 2-4 Conf record 7. Tacoma Thunder (3-4) - 1-3 Conf record Salsa: 1. Freiburg Venom (5-2) - 5-2 Conf record 2. Scranton Papermakers (5-2) - 3-2 Conf record 3. Phoenix Rattlers (4-3) - 3-0 Div record, 3-0 Conf record, H2H win vs Squirrels 4. Richmond Flying Squirrels (4-3) - 2-2 Div record, 4-2 Conf record, H2H loss vs Rattlers In the Hunt: 5. Egypt Starfalls (4-3) - 3-2 Conf Record 6. Rocket City Trash Pandas (3-4) H2H win vs Sharks 7. Miami Sharks (3-4) H2H loss vs Pandas Week 8 Games: Egypt Starfalls @ Hanoi Viet Kongs The most interesting game of the slate, with 2 teams trending in opposite directions, and both in the playoff hunt in the number 5 position of their respective conferences. As close to a midweek Playoff game as you can get, because one team will solidify themselves into the mix, and the other could get pushed even further back. Pittsburgh Punishers @ Miami Sharks Very winnable home game for the Sharks, and I would say it's a Must Win game here. The Sharks must finish with a better record than the Pandas to make the playoffs, so they can't afford to be pushed further back. Note: The Sharks own the TB against Egypt, so with a win, they can more firmly join the In the Hunt teams and potentially make a run. Chicago Fire @ Norway Knights Is Chicago the best 2-5 team ever? Net points of 0, all of their losses have been close, and they have a very good team. However, no excuses for Norway. They do have the TB over the Moose, so even with a loss, they would still be in first place. Barring a collapse, Norway feels destined to host the loser of the arms race between REY/RJ in the WC round. Rio de Janeiro Pirates @ South Africa Woolly Mammoths Even with a loss, Rio would be in good shape, and REY still has the TB, so RJ can't move into first with a win. But the Pirates can't blink, or their Division hopes would melt away. Phoenix Rattlers @ Freiburg Venom Powerhouse battle here, and the only game between two teams currently slated to make the playoffs. Game of the Week matchup right here. Venom already has a win over division rival Egypt, so this could be the week where FREI runs away with the division. On the other side, PHO has a H2H win over Scranton, so they could move into first place with a win. Or...with a loss fall into the pack as there are 5 teams with a 4-3 or 3-4 record in the conference. Huge stakes in this game. Richmond Flying Squirrels @ Little Rock Uni Royals The Squirrels are desperately clinging to the 4th playoff spot in Salsa. A loss isn't going to kill them. Like the bear analogy, they just have to run faster than the teams below them (namely, Pandas and Starfalls. Rocket City Trash Pandas @ Scranton Papermakers Not quite an elimination game for the Pandas, but we are getting there. Scranton needs to keep winning to hold off the other 4-3 teams nipping at their heels. Tacoma Thunder @ Anchorage Moose Do or Die for the Thunder. I can't see them losing this game and still making the playoffs. The Moose also needs to win to put pressure on the Knights for the division, stave off the Kongs, and not let the Thunder into the playoff mix. A lot of pressure on both teams here! Indianapolis Predators @ Reykjavík Direwolves After last week's debacle, REY plays the team with the worst record. Here's a chance for REY to make progress in securing the 1 seed. If they lose, the divisional battle between REY/RJ (current best rivalry in the NSFL) heats up even more. Lancaster Fighting Amish @ Antarctica Penguin Poppers Hope is still alive for the Amish! If they beat the Penguins, they are in a decent spot for a 2nd half run. If they lose, it's just not meant to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I will actually win one of these some day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tk3 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Tiering teams by natural gaps in pwny Direwolves, Pirates Squirrels, Knights, Venom Kongs, Starfall Papermarkers, Pandas, Fire, Moose, Rattlers Sharks, Mammoths, Royals, Poppers, Amish (Amish sort of hard to slot in naturally) Predators, Punishers Notes Red still looking strong, and with Hanoi getting a W, they move into a pretty solid spot in the quest to have 3 represented in the playoffs Blue continue to underperform (record wise) in comparison to their strong pwnys Squirrels and Direwolves continue to be on pace for the offensive records Matchups (8)Starfall @ (6)Kongs - two 4-3 teams battling it out to stay in good playoff standing. Game of the week (11)Fire @ (4)Knights - Fire feel like they should be way better than 2-5. If they can pull the upset they still have a chance, but if they fall to 2-6 I think they are done. Similarly, if Knights move to 6-2 they will have a real strong hold on the division (7)Thunder @ (12)Moose - Another blue division fight. Blue will either get much more clear or much more messy depending on who wins both these games (19)Predators @ (1)Direwolves - After a really bad loss last week, the #2 offense faces the #19 defense. If we don't have a rebound game, I'll be a sad boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
