The REV had a slow start last week at the Loco Express. We were all surprised to see the Locos scored first, and it was a really good game by half-time. But then the REV woke up, and it was over from there. They have been on a mission all season to get back and play the Lions again at Weber State, and their opportunity is now.
The Lions have been in cruise control throughout the playoffs. Hopefully the easier playoff schedule hasn't lulled them to sleep. The REV are hungry for revenge, and have had a tougher road getting through the playoffs. This one could be pretty epic. The Lions, although technically the home team, have a longer road than the REV. I doubt that will matter much, as it is the 'ship. Anyone who might miss a game any other week, would definitely NOT miss this one. I have never played the REV, but after playing the Lions last week and seeing how good they are, I have to pick the Lions this week, even though it will be a very close game. This game will probably come down to who has the ball last. The kickers better be practicing this whole week.
REV 20 - Lions 21
Snow Devils @ Vipers
The Snow Devils have struggled almost the whole season with traveling. They have a much longer drive than the Vipers do this week, and I think that might be a factor in this game. If it wasn't for the toilet bowl, I might change my tune a bit. But they might have a hard time convincing guys to drive to Utah to play for 9th place... Plus, didn't their QB get ejected last week, so he can't play this week? He IS their offense. Without him they don't have much.
The Vipers are looking to make a statement. They can jump from AA to AAA and win throughout the post season. With a short drive to Weber State, I think they show up in force, and impose their will on the Snow Devils this week.
Snow Devils 6 - Vipers 28
AA
Diggers @ Warriors
Well the Diggers finally made it to the AA 'ship. They are a team that never gives up, and are going to play to the final whistle. They are 1-1 against the Warriors, so this game really could come down to the wire.
The Warriors have had a very strong season. No doubt they have improved since last season. They have pretty much ran the table this season in AA, except for just one loss. That loss came at the hands of the Diggers. Brace yourselves folks, this could be a really close one. Either way, this year the AA trophy will be on the road to back to Idaho, or on to Nevada for the first time. I gotta go with the Diggers on this one. (I'm just a little bias)
