Retro Predictions
9am Mean Machine vs Hunters
After a promising start to the season for the Mean Machine they are going the opposite way ever since. A beating by the Botz is a rare occurrence for teams not named the Niners. Their defense has let up almost 30 points in every game and the offense can’t keep up. The Hunters come in at 2-2 but even their lop sided score against the Interceptors was closer than it seems. This team is rarely out of a game and always stays composed and organized. We think Naji doesn’t let his team lost this game to get them above .500 and they walk away with a W.

10am Niners vs Bing Bong
Moody vs AZ!!!!!!!!! It is always a fun matchup when these two guys matchup. Moody for the better of AZ in the regular season leaving the field with some choice words but AZ coming in clutch in the playoffs to send him home. In this matchup we will have some great matchups with week 1 Niner now on the other side in Zian and Josh now an established member of the team. This game no matter what will be fun with the amount of trash talk we can expect from guys like AZ and Dwayne. Tayeb is making clutch throws all season and the young guns Zamier and Munier are playing great. The Niners are hot right now winning 3 straight and we think this one comes down to the wire but they pull it out.

10am Botz vs Phantoms
Botz are coming off a big win and Phantoms are coming off a bye undefeated. We would like to say Botz put up a fight here and the Phantoms take them lightly but let’s be real. Theo Phantoms are organized this year. They have given up the long ball approach for ZQ just playing smart game managing football. Getting the ball out quick to his receivers like Samad and letting them do the work. It’s a smart approach that limits mistakes. The Botz found something on offense last week but that was against a soft Mean Machine team. Expect ZQ and his boys to roll the commish here.
Phantoms 34 Botz 19
11am Imaan vs Pluto
This should be a great shootout. Imaan is coming off their first loss in months and Pluto keeps scoring points but keeps losing games. We have studs on both sides of the field, Umair and Isa are weapons who can soar above most defenders and Toheed is one of if not the best receiver in the league. This may come down to who can get a stop late. For that we will defer to Faiq and Pulak managing a strategy to create a big turnover from Shak and reestablish a winning streak. Expect a lot of scoring in this one though.

11am Bing Bong vs Mamas Boys
This will be a tough double header for Bing Bong and test what they are about. Going from the Niners to the undefeated Mamas Boys. We keep calling them the basketball boys and they just keep going out and winning football games. They may not be all hoops and perms like everyone says. They are athletic and have made enough plays to win their games with Safwan proving he can throw it with the best of them. Az and Tayeb will try to rally the team to get a split on the day but being tired against these guys isn’t an easy obstacle to overcome. We think a low scoring slugfest is in the cards here.

12pm Interceptors vs Warriors
A noon special! Ezra vs his former team is always a fun one to see. There is definitely animosity there and that makes for a good game. The Warriors have won games but it has not come easy this season with attendance issues and roster turnover. They do add the speedy Tosin who has bounced around a lot this season but gives them a good short weapon to contrast Gregg going deep. Interceptors have not missed a beat with Brian at qb and their defense is still lockdown as ever. Adam always seems to be in it at the end of the season and we don’t see why this year would be any different. We actually think the depth of Interceptors is the big factor here and they won comfortably whether Farooq likes it or not.
