Volume VII; edition 17

We had a HORRIBLE week last week going 0-2-0 which brings our season record to 49-41-0

THIS WEEK’S GAMES:

NERFL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

• (3) Marty’s Schottenheimers   -vs-   (7) DC Nukes

RIP My Big Boy Red have a career record of 6-6 against the DC Nukes

The Schottenheimers won the 2008 game in week 6 by a score of 111-80

These teams have met three times in the playoffs. All three games have been played in the first round of the playoffs. The DC Nukes won in 2003 and 2006 while the Schottenheimers won in 2005.

Outlook:  These teams match up evenly this week and in our computer simulations, the Schottenheimers win 51 times out of 100.

• Schottenheimers win 108-107

NERFL THIRD PLACE GAME

• (1) RIP My Big Boy Red -vs-   (5) West Hartford Trees

The West Hartford Trees have a career record of 3-3 against the RIPs.

The RIPs won both 2008 games. In week 1 by a score of 118-117 and in week 12 by a score of 135-125.

These teams met once in the playoffs during the 2007 season. The Trees knocked out the RIPs in the third place game by a score of 88-87.

Outlook: The RIPs are reeling from a tough loss last week. They want revenge against the Trees but the computer simulations very rarely predict favorably for same season three-peats. This one will probably be closer than we think but….

• “Da Trees” win this week 119-109

That is all we have for you, be back next Thursday with another round of predictions!
