LINE: Digg-A-Watts -1
The league's newest team has done well this season and they've been rewarded with a trip to Shame Glaze Stadium where they'll battle a Jergoff Passout team that is looking to get back to the Championship Game. In their first meeting this season, Passout looked like they were clearly the better team, winning 144-107 on the road against Watts. But as I've said before, this Watts team is not one to count out. And they proved that when they visited Jergoff Passout 2 weeks later and came away with a 125-109 road win. With each team winning on the road and splitting their season series, it's no wonder the point spread is so low. With Justin Jefferson returning to action, Jergoff Passout's air assault should be in full swing...provided Stafford can do his job and get them the ball. But the problem with scoring too quickly is that you gotta give the ball back to your opponent. This is where Digg-A-Watts could shine. When they have the ball, I imagine they'll lean on a pair of solid running backs to help them control the pace of the game. In doing so, they shouldn't have a problem reaching their projected score - 110 points. This game should be a back-and-forth struggle for both that will be won by the team that has the ball last. To make it to the next round, Watts will need to be very careful not to leave enough time on the clock for Passout to lineup a game-winning field goal.
COMMISH'S PICK: Jergoff Passout
LINE: Baby Got Dak -12
After a disasterous second half of the season, Baby Got Dak is hopeful the postseason offers them the reset they need. The good news is that they're hosting a Hunters team that they defeated 110-84 in their last visit to the Ain't Had Dak In 6 Years Dome. The bad news is that they're playing a Hunters team that demolished them, 159-112, just 2 weeks ago. In that contest, the Hunters were able to limit Dak's receivers to just 11 points. With Keenan Allen injured this week, you have to wonder how Baby Got Dak will fix that. But even if they find a way to get their offense moving, their defensive coordinators will have their hands full trying to slow down Deebo Samuel, who scored 38 points against Dak in their last meeting. And, in case you missed it last week, Samuel followed up that game by scoring 33 points - he's playing at another level right now. With a number of injuries throughout their lineup, I don't believe we'll see the Bounty Hunters score near their 145.0 pts/gm average over the last 3 weeks. I do, however, see them finishing the day around 120 which is more than Baby Got Dak has scored in any of their last 4 games.

LINE: Tallaassee Tator Tots -9
What's better than entering the playoffs on a 5-game winning streak while averaging 126.8 pts/gm? For the Tots, it's a first round matchup against a Casualties team that has won only 1 of their last 5. There's no doubt about it, the Casualties will need to find some life this week if their going to match the Tots. And their focus needs to be on defense. Through their last 5, the Casualties averaged 114.2 pts/gm - 4th best in Segundo - but their defense has allowed 135.6 pts/gm to opponents. It's tough to win when our defense has been as porous as theirs. However, it's worth noting that in their last visit to Ketchup Coliseum, the Casualties held the Tots to 107 points and came away with the victory. Can they replicate that this week? No. The Tots' coaching staff has been working all week on a game plan to address their short-comings from that game and I fully expect to see something more along the lines of the 137 points they scored against MaxxCasualties in week 12. The Tots are still a little burnt about missing the playoffs last season so expect them to take advantage of this opportunity. Give the points and take the spuds.
COMMISH'S PICK: Tallaassee Tator Tots
LINE: Ohio State Gunkeyes -21
After spliting a pair of regular season contests, the Rogues and Gunkeyes will square off a third time to settle their debate of which team is better. The Gunkeyes enter the postseason on a 3-game winning streak, averaging an impressive 128.3 pts/gm. If the point spread is any indication, it seems bettors have taken notice of that fact. And an offense that potent could spell trouble for a Rogues defense that is inconsistent. Last week, the Rogues were able to hold one of the top teams in the leauge, TJONES35, to just 87 points. But the week before that, their defense was blindsided to the tune of 145 points by....the Gunkeyes. If we assume the Gunkeyes will score in the neighborhood of 125 points, the question that needs to be anwered is: can the Rogues' offense keep up? Fortunately, it looks like Justin Jefferson should return to the field this week and, if they're lucky, he'll last for more than a few plays giving their passing attack to nice boost. If you factor in the Rogues' running game, I can see this offense having a nice day - certainly better than 106.0 pts/gm they've averaged over the last 3 weeks. But in the end, the Gunkeyes' 2-headed running attack - CMC and Kyren Williams - will put together time consuming drives that will limit opportunities for the Rogues. I'll take the Gunkeyes, but I'm not giving more than 12 points.
COMMISH'S PICK: Ohio State Gunkeyes
