Who is about to have a 4 game winning streak?

This guy.

The season seems to be over for Lahore and Moscow. This is the 1st time Lahore failed to make the play-offs.

Moscow had an unfortunate debut.

you

Lmfao I really let 3 players go on BYE and stay in?

I'm horrible man. I didnt even know

[Rafay]

4 teams have clinched the play-off berth.

 

Karachi, Acme, Thors and Establishment. Congrats.

 

Would love to hear from the owners.

 

Also this league is really balanced and tough as all teams have identical records and no team has double digit win column.

 

Karachi will face Lahore and Texas v Auto in Ferrous division

 

Thors will meet Establishment and Gridiron will meet Acme in Ferric division......

 

.....if play-offs were held tomorrow.

[Finster Baby]

Acme States loves its current position.  It's match up this week points to a 5th straight win heading into the playoffs, which is a ton of momentum.

 

At this point, the title is mine to lose.

[Rafay]

Well you need 3 wins for the Steel Bowl and might need to go through the defending champs.

[Finster Baby]

Bring it.

The Regular Season is over and now the Play-offs begin here in the IFFL. Here's an in depth look at all the match ups and teams that have qualified for the Steel Bowl Play-offs.

 

Ferric Division:

 

Acme States Folly vs Brewsersalliance:

 

The David v Goliath match of the play-offs as Acme look to steam roll through brewsersalliance on their quest to the Steel Bowl. Acme are the clear favourites here as they ride into the match with a 5 game winning streak, having the overall top seed in the league and Ferric division winners. But don't count brewsers out just yet as they squeezed a win in their last match to obtain the final spot in the play-offs from their division. Acme to their credit have an explosive offense starring young guns like Mahomes, Elliot, JuJu and Allen. They however, lack a good defense to round off their squad. brewsersalliance do have a good balanced team and a better defense than Acme but in this game we at IFFL believe that the old phrase "Defence wins Championships " will be put to rest and Acme will march on into the Ferric Championship match.

 

Clear Favourite: Acme States Folly

 

 

ThorsHammers vs Establishment:

 

Last year Establishment failed to make the play-offs; this year they had the best drafted team per experts but were unable to utilize talent to the fullest which is why they ended up as the 4th overall seed and 3rd place in their division. Thors are the defending champions, their season was a tale in itself as they had a 4 game win streak followed by 3 game loss streak and eventually righted their ship with 3 consecutive wins to earn a place in the play-offs as 3rd overall seed and 2nd in their division to defend their title.It will be either a defensive spectacle or a shoot out. Both teams boast an impressive defense; Thors have an amazing receiving corps backed by the ageless Philip Rivers who is in the best form of his career. While Establishment have a strong ground game and are led by Aaron Rodgers whose season hasn't been spectacular but his performances were enough to land Establishment in the play-offs.

 

Likely Favourite: Thors.

 

 

Ferrous Division:

 

Karachi Dolphins vs Lahore Lightning (Green Bowl V)

 

This probably will be the most underwhelming game of the 4 matches. Both teams are limping into the bout plagued by injuries and scandals. Karachi has lost their entire ground game to injuries (Gordon) and Hunt has been suspended indefinitely w/o pay for his domestic violence incident. Lahore had the 2nd best drafted team in the league per experts but lost Bell due to contract issues and Green is out too with an injury. The saving grace for both teams will be their QBs and Defenses. This match will definitely be an old school slug fest. Karachi won the division for the 1st time and are the 2nd seed overall in the league, they had an amazing start with a 5 game win streak. After that they dropped 3 consecutively then exchanged wins and losses every week to get into the play-offs. Lahore on the other hand have dealt with game-closing issues. They have lost 3 games very closely. This is the 5th time these teams are meeting in head to head match up in the league, Karachi has won all 4 Green Bowls but this time we feel that Lahore could pull an upset (they upset Thors previously in the season) and win their first Green Bowl  in a very close match.

 

Edge: Lahore Lightning

 

 

Texas Bees vs Auto draft bot 1

 

Both teams seem equally matched as reflected by their records. At one point both had a 4 game losing streak but did just enough to make the play-offs. Famous Jamis will take on comeback player of the year General Luck in what could be and entertaining bout from Ferrous division that could overshadow the Green Bowl. Texas arguably has the best receiving corps in the league with guys like Fitzgerald, Brown and Julio leading the charge that will make the Auto defense earn every penny of their paychecks. Auto has a well balanced team that if performs well can beat any team any day especially if Winston can avoid throwing picks. Adams and McCaferty can be breakout players on the Auto team too.

 

Likely Favourite: Texas Bees

And then you woke up.

Next.

[Rafay]

My bad guys. Messed up the seeds. It should've been Lahore v Auto and Thors v Acme for respective conference championships. Actually Yahoo did. I placed them in correct order.

[Finster Baby]

Um, if you plan on changing the matchups you might want to do it. I'm still showing as playing Lahore and there are games tomorrow.

[Rafay]

I want to. I can't.....

[Finster Baby]

Gotta love Yahoo. Not really. :/

[Finster Baby]

Well...so much for THAT.  Good luck to the finalists.

[Rafay]

Well...so much for THAT.  Good luck to the finalists.

 

Great run ended in an unfortunate fashion. You were the better team throughout the season. Hope Lahore can win and stop the EVIL EMPIRE.

Congratulations to ThorsHammers for the Repeat!!!
