Notes
The Viall Vigilante entered the 2012 season as the laughing stock of the eSFL for the past two seasons but added an additional second round draft pick with a late 2011 trade. The trade and a wonderfull draft by ownership
has this team at the top of their game and a serious contender for the big prize in 2012. Thw perdew unit has a solid if not remarkeable team, Foster, Green, and a host of quarterbacks to choose from places this team in contention every week. This will be the game of the week, if there is such a thing in a playoff round, but likely we will see some big numbers placed on the board here. It's Viall's year, no way aroundit. Perdew will have a shot, but in the end...wait a minute, breaking news, the Vigalante are all out of good fortune...... .

Notes
Pardue is Global Division Champion.The Pardue Bruisermakers completed yet another solid season in the eSFL, winning their 4th regular season division title in eight years. With a world ranking of 123 (out of over 10k plus teams). The MFIC will certainly be a force in the 2012 playoffs, coach Pardue elected to play the second place D Crownholder in the opening round, a team that has
given him fits over the years. The 'Holders surprised most everyone this year, finishing with a remarkeable world ranking of 862.

The game will likely be decided by quarterbacks and wide receivers, an area that the Crownholder seem to have a big advantage in. However, the Bruisermakers can make up a small amount of the disadvantage with defensive lineman J.J. Watt and Linebacker Daryll Washington. We here at the INSIDER have closely evaluated this contest and the majority believe the Crownholder are the best team, and when someone believes the best team will win they are very often in error. Consider the quarterback play to be the difference, Crownholder roll.

Notes
Texan Bruisers are Appalachian Division champs. Whitmore qualifies as a Blackjack.Well, where shall we start? The Texan Bruisers have been laughed at all year, and why? This team enters the playoffs ranked 1227 in the world and division champions. The problem is the teams points fielded category is lowest in the entire division and 9th in the 12 team conference. The Workhorse are the Appalachian division Blackjack team, but do not underestimate them. 2089 points fielded would have been tops in the Global, and ranks third in the Appalachian. This weeks game is probably a mistake for the Bruisers, considering they selected this matchup and evidently believe this is the weakest opponent for the week. The game will likely be decided at the running back position, a strong edge to the ponies for sure. If the ponies can somehow pull off a win this week this is a team the house likes for a Ballistic Bowl appearence in week 16.  The Bruisers should have fun in week 14, the Gunner Cup's second round.

Temp's Texas Boys have zero right to be in the 2012 eSFL playoffs...wrong. The Boy's are a perfect example of how the Blackjack wildcard spot is supposed to work, a very good team that week in and week out was down right beaten. The Boy's have a better world ranking than the Ruskies, and more points fielded, and it stops there. The Ruskies are ranked higher in every other categoty one can look at, Power Rank, What if, Value Rank, and Offensive points. Yeah, the Boy's belong in the Gunner Cup .Zima 162 Texas Boys 137

The Brownskins enter the playoffs as a big favorite, leading the league in points fielded, world rank, and power rank. The 'Skins elected to play the Meatstyx to open the playoffs, likely a wise choice. The Meatstyx finished with a pathetic 4-9 record and a blackjack entry into the
playoffs. This weeks contest likely will be a complete blowout for the 'Skins with a superior player at almost every position..... .........

Notes
A return to the eSFL after an eight year layoff has served the Dlugiewicz Fighting Pollacks well, finishing as the Helix Division first wildcard
with an 8-5 record. Coach Mike was criticized about his draft strat by most all fans and owners, it seems as those haters have
realized this is a good team and have not been heard from for several weeks. This team goes as Newton and Rice does, and with a top rated
defense, the Pollacks have a chance to compete each week. The Money Team just wants respect, and a grand prize. The Team has gone
largely unnoticed throughout much of the season with the casual fan brushing aside the accomplishments of coach R.J. and his band of players. A leader in most all eSFL stat categories it is a real mystery how this team is rated below 10k in the world, likely a bad formula or
bad day by the person compulating it. Anyhow, here we are, in the wildcard round of the 2012 eSFL playoffs and these two teams will send
one to the Gunner Cup while the other advances for the opportunity to win the biggest prize in leagues history. This one is a toss up, there
is a reason Money is rated so low in the world ranking, we just don't know what it is.

Notes
The Brady Bunch took the league by storm with a 7-1 start and held on to capture the division title. They enter the playoffs on a two game
losing streak in which they only scored 118 points in each of those games. The Orange Crush was in the playoffs last week, needing a win to
qualify for this weeks playoff game. This team has won two in a row averaging 156 points per week in those games.  As the season has progressed the Bunch has regressed. This contest will be a big dissapointment to the owner who drops down into the Gunner Cup round but all is not lost, a great season was had by the Bunch and they might have a chance at the GC.

Notes
Last week the Texas Stars was in a near must win situation, their opponent was the Standout Coalition. This week the Texas Stars are in a must win situation, there opponent is the Standout Coalition. I don't care to much for a team who's top performer is Torey Smith, nor do I care for a team who's top performer is a defensive lineman. With last weeks win the Stars demonstrated to the Coalition they could compete with them and the Coalition demonstrated that without tight end Gronk they are average at best. Get over it, there won't be any money from this year in next years pot.Stars 146  Coalition  135
