The Playins and Playoffs are here, and this Sunday will be one of the most action packed days in BTSH history. It probably has happened before, but the only time I can remember Playin and Playoff games being played on the same day, was in 2008.
Sky Fighters vs. Moby Dekes
DGDR is Goated and we all love Meehan. Fun fact that many know but many also don’t. Leif was a member of The Last Goodnight which produced one of my favorite one-hit wonders of all time.
I would expect Taylor Swift to dump Kelce, and have Leif join her on tour before I expect the Dekes to win this game. But next season, I’m thinking the Dekes are going to win at least 4 games. You heard it here first.
Demons vs. Gremlins
We knew this was going to be a harder season for the Demons than last years great regular season. While I do expect them to win, Jamie is a fantastic playoff goalie and what I like about the Gremmies is they have old school BTSH vibes with Rod, Allison, JW, Iannis and others…as well as a couple of newbies like Hollis.
The Demons have a ridiculous 24 (24!!!!!) people qualify for the playoffs. What 3 are they not including?
I initially had a 2-1 Demons victory, but I’m predicting an upset and Uno reversing it to 2-1 Gremmies.
Lbs. vs. WTP
Schuyler and Milstein lead WTP into battle against the Lbs. who got all their players to get their 5 games this season. I’ve been on the other side of Lbs. beatdowns and let me just say, they handle it very professionally. No cheers after the third goal and very light high-fives. They also stop playing D so hopefully WTP can get 3 past Zisser.
Riots vs. Butchers
The Riots were all the buzz in the Fourth Division before the season, and I must say, I bought the hype. They had a pretty decent season and I think they will advance to the next round with Zuck, Berk, and Antonio leading the way. However, Braden, Brendan, and Taylor will make this game far from a pushover.
