Now let's get right to the game break downs and the Game Picks.......
Now let's get right to the game break downs and the Game Picks.......
#6 Mansfield Panthers vs #9 TCU Bulldogs
This is going to be a really great game. From everything we see here it should come down to the offenses. This is a game where the coaches, players, and fans emotions are going to be on a full scale roller coaster. It's going to go up and down, back and forth until one offense establishes itself. This thing is going to be a battle from the opening kick off to the very last second of the game!
Least mistakes wins!!! Turnovers will be the deciding factor in this one. Going to have to stay sharp and focused through out the whole game. So let's get right into it with our first pick!!!!!!! UPSET in this one in favor of the TCU Bulldogs with a final score of 28-16.
TCU Bulldogs = 36
Mansfield Panthers = 14
#5 Mansfield Tigers vs #11 Riverside Eagles
If you only look at the records in this game you would have no choice but to say the Tigers are going to win this one and should win it big, but that is not the truth at all. These 2 teams are battle tested and the Eagles have been in every game to the end and we do not see this one being any different. They are going to have to be smart, and take advantage of any mistakes, but this one is very winnable for them.
There is not a lot we can say to either team but play smart and play hard until the clock hits 0:00. When it does we see this one with the Mansfield Tigers winning it by a score of 16-7
Mansfield Tigers = 14
Riverside Eagles = 0
#3 Blue Ruff Riderz vs #10 Blue Raider Outlaws
This one is going to come down to the Outlaws being able to hang around until the 4th quarter. If they can manage that they will have a great chance to pull this one into the win column, but if they can not do that this one could get ugly. They will need momentum on their side going into the forth.
Not sure the Outlaws have what it takes to get it into the 4th quarter close. We can only go by the numbers on this one and see it coming in as a win for the Blue Ruff Riderz with a score of 21-8.
Blue Ruff Riders = 38
Blue Raider Outlaws = 0
#1 TCU Wildcats vs #12 Arlington Blue Devils
What a tough break for the Blue Devils to draw our #1 team in the first round. Sure wish there was something we could say indicating a way for the Blue Devils to pull out a win in this one. However, we do not see a whole lot of hope. The only chance they have is to come out and get a lead early and try to catch the Wildcats off guard and hope to get up by a couple of scores before they figure out what's going on and then hang on! Other than that we just don't see it happening. The TCU Wildcats come in with one of the best offenses and the Best Overall Defense!
So we see this as a Wildcat win by a score of 26-6
TCU Wildcats = 48
Arlington Blue Devils = 6
#8 DC Raiders vs #13 TYSA Texans
This game is going to come down to the Texans defense being able to stop the Raiders high scoring offense. The Raiders come in with an offense that is averaging over 41 points per game and that is simply amazing! The Texans will certainly have their hands full all game. The good thing for the Texans is they come in with an offense that is averaging over 28 points per game themselves. So if the defense can get a score they could have a really good chance in this one.
The real difference between these teams is the Defenses. The Raiders come with one of the toughest defenses in this division. So the Texans will have a tough road but not impossible. We think this one will come down with the Raiders winning by a score of 32-6
DC Raiders = 36
TYSA Texans = 0
#7 NT Express vs #15 Panthers
This has been a tough season for the Panthers and this one isn't going to be any easier than their season. The only thing about having a tough season is you come out with "Nothing" to lose. You can play to just play, and that is dangerous! A team playing just to have fun might just fine the magic it takes to pull off such an upset. However, in the end we think it will be a NT Express victory with a score of 30-6.
NT Express = 34
Panthers = 6
#4 DC Broncos vs #14 East Side Katz
We have seen this DC Broncos team play in the past and one thing we saw was they have no stop or lay down in them. They play smart hard football for the entire game. This is one of those teams though that have had some games that they slowed down, and that cost them in the only game they lost this season. If the Katz come out hard early and can get up on them, it could result in the same outcome as the game the Broncos lost. It must be a real "Shock" to the Broncos though. It has to be a "Game Changing Play" and it has to be EARLY!!!!!!!!
In the end we just can not ignore the numbers in this game and so we see it as a 36-6 game for the DC Broncos.....
DC Broncos = 28
East Side Katz = 0
We hope you enjoy our Playoff Addition of our "Game Picks" and predictions.........
Now let's go have some fun...... Oh and did I mention IT'S THE PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!!!!!!
