Well, we have some great matches, here are my predicitons.

Western Winners @ Austrian Invaders
Invaders 35-24
I have played ilseum in a few friendlies, it has been close. But they have a great team, and probably had the toughest path to here. I may play them close, but I think the Invaders will win this game, and it will no be very close.

Orange County Lakers @ Boise State Broncos
Broncos 31-20
The Broncos are probably the bigest threat to win the cup right now. The Lakers have a great squad, but I don't think they have enough to knock off the Broncos. They'll be facing a super star QB they sold for $20,000, and really need to shut him down to win, as the Broncos defense is amazing.

Alabama Vipers @ BUFFALO BLACK STARS
BUFFALO 24-0
Buffalo is coming off what may be the biggest win in team history, not only beating merc, but absolutely destroying him. I'm not even sure the Vipers would be here had sal set his offensive line-up. The Vipers are good, but I'm not picking against BUFFALO after that display Vs. Merc.

Safugnoff Eagles @ Minnesota Xtreme
Minnesota 21-20
This one is tough to decide. Minnesota after coming and and dominating jedi academy, looking really good, and jinto after going into OT and knocking off the atomic peanuts. Jinto is a great cup team, and has a solid defense, but had a productive offense today, and the Xtreme dominated all sides of the ball Vs. a tough jedi academy squad. I think either of these teams may end up in the final 4, and it's going to be a good one.

im toast
i wish i had understood more about the game back then
i wouldnt have sold theo.

Make sure you take home the TD Merc, I dread to think what would happen if you lose that.

Vipers have a very good team....don't use my bot offense as an excuse,he gained some yards and scored some points against my strarting defense and as we saw with Mercs GREAT squad today, anything is possible on any givin game day!!

Congrats on the back to back Elite 8 i just wish i could say the same since the first season getting to the Final Four we seemed to get knocked out sooner and sooner intill this season

and im just as shocked as anyone else that we have a offense that looked rather good in the last cup game i guess the guys were upset over losing in the final Friendly cup game....now if only we could finish this off with a Regional Cup Trophy (that wont happen inless people take a game off or i get lucky with someone missing an injury)
