Playoffs - Week 11

This week's preview was done by a guest blogger.

Hello, my name is Jim Mora and I used to coach in the National Football League for the Saints and the Colts.  When my good friend asked me to write the Rebel blog post for the WSFL playoffs, my first reaction was: Playoffs?!  Don't talk about playoffs?!  You kiddin' me?  Playoffs?! 



I was then told that the WSFL playoffs start this week so it made a lot more sense to me.  I am glad for the opportunity to talk football about some of the best WSFL teams and thus some of the best semi-professional football teams in the midwest.

The Titans (7-3) will visit the Timberjacks (8-2) Saturday afternoon at Goose Poop Field.  Rumor has it that at halftime there will be a "goose poop snowman" making competition for the fans.  These two teams played a close match when they met 2 weeks ago.  The Tjacks came out on top and I am predicting that they will again this week 28-10 but who really cares?

The game of the week involves the Rebels (10-0) and Mariners (5-5).  In week 3 the Rebels crushed the Mariners 34-3.  In week 11 the Mariners fell once again to the Rebels 32-21.  If it wasn't for 3 turnovers in Rebel territory the Mariners would not have even sniffed the endzone.  The Rebel offensive line will be facing the #2 and #4 sack leaders in Dylan "Funny last name, serious man" Waupoose and Ricardo "I'm gonna go out and pick" Flores (flores = flowers in spanish FYI).  The Mariners also love to bring a lot of A gap pressure (just like the Rebels have been seeing all year).  I would call this one a close game except the Rebel defense is groin grabbingly great.  If the Rebel offense (or defense) can put up more than 2 TDs, this one is over.  I am going to pick the Rebels to win 24-0.

What does this all mean?  I'll tell ya.  Rebels vs Timberjacks in the championship game on November 3rd.  Both teams need to take care of business first.

Come out and support the Rebels for the first round of PLAYOFFS!  Kickoff is at 6:00pm.  Be there or Bill O'Reilly will find you!
