The first thing about this that jumped out at me was the Mexico Bulls. Now yes they did play the Yeti this week so it's not an unexpected loss, but if you follow trades in the NFA you can see what exactly happened to Mexico. Ever since Mexico traded Luther Hodges to Bar Harbor they've hardly won a game. Mexico's entire gameplan is in tatters and just about any team can beat them right now if they come at them with the right strategy in mind. Another interesting trade related trend here is the Hartford Lightning. Ever since they acquired Thomas Logan they've been winning more consistently and this week they were able to beat a pretty tough team in the Lincoln Tribe. This loss combined with Bar Harbor's win this week puts Bar Harbor in position to win wildcard in the AFC North seeing as the Yeti have already secured a playoff spot. Another thing to notice is the Atlantic Tide, man have these guys taken a tumble. Cade Lewis goes in the IR and their whole team starts to breakdown, it just goes to show you how important a good QB really is. That's pretty much it for week 14, but there's one game I want to point out in week 15 that's going to be a good one. Bar Harbor heads to Yukon to face the undefeated Yeti in a very big game. If Bar Harbor can win this they'll knock Yukon off their winning streak and probably secure a playoff spot ahead of Lincoln. If Bar Harbor loses this one they might miss out on the playoffs alltogether depending on how tightly contested the AFC is. I defenitely expect this one to be a close game. That about wraps it up for week 14, see you next week.
