Divisional Matchups
Spokane Ospreys (11-6) at Yukon Yeti (16-0)
10 to 41
Yukon's defense prevailed, giving its offense the edge it needed to run away with this one. Yukon QB Ben Harris lit up the defense with 6 touchdown passes. A predictable result, but Spokane showed their potential for next season when their star TE, Jim Hendricks (acquired from the Tide), returns.
Mexico Bulls (10-7) at Boston Liberty (14-2)
13 to 49
Mexico never had a chance in this game, just as I anticipated. Perhaps the margin of victory was more extreme than expected, but a victory for Boston was certainly predictable.
Oklahoma Twisters (12-5) at Atlantic Tide (11-5)
28 to 27
Oklahoma narrowly walked away with another playoff victory in this tightly contested game on the road. I applaud the way they've beat back adversity and used the talent they have to knock off solid teams.
Kentucky Stallions (12-5) at Dakota Vipers (12-4)
23 to 28
Dakota worked hard when it mattered and pulled away with the victory. Simply put, despite the appearance on paper that Kentucky is slightly better, Dakota wants to win more. The Vipers are showing a lot of tenacity and they deserve to move on.
Conference Championship Matchups
Oklahoma Twisters (13-5) at Yukon Yeti (17-0)
Dakota Vipers (13-4) at Boston Liberty (15-2)
All four of these teams have a lot of talent, next week will determine if they also have the will to win. Once again I am predicting victories for Yukon and Boston, but I've been wrong about Boston for two straight years. In 2005 they lost to Madison in divisionals and in 2006 they lost the Conference Championship to Kentucky. Will they finally return to the big game for the first time since 2004 or will the Vipers make their debut?
