*ISFL Week 2 Matchups - platanocat - 01-29-2021
Alright so who watched all one and a half hours of the ISFL video that was uploaded Wednesday night? I sure as hell didn’t. No harm no foul though. These are the growing pains of updating to the newest version of the sim. Before we know it we’ll be wondering how we ever put up with Dance Dance Revolution Pro Football ’16. Anyways, I did manage to get six out of seven predictions correct last week, so here’s how I think Week 2 will shake out.
ISFL WEEK 2

Comments:
I don’t think I could have asked for a more even matchup in regards to TPE than this one. Last week Sarasota was able to defeat Colorado while Yellowknife took an early season loss against the terrifying Chicago roster. With the numbers being so close on this one, I have to go with the home field advantage being the deciding factor. Who knows though, Sarasota has shocked us before.

Comments:
I love the culture that Philadelphia has been able to foster the past couple of seasons. That being said, I legitimately feel bad for their game against Chicago this week. Chicago having an almost +7500 lead in TPE over Philly might be one of the largest differences I have ever seen. I know Philly is feeling emboldened after their Week 1 win, but let’s be real; they faced Honolulu. Maybe Philadelphia can level the playing field a tad with their home field advantage, but I wouldn’t really count on it. I’m definitely picking Chicago this week.

Berlin: 543 TPE
TOTALS:
Colorado: 17,137 TPE
Berlin: 16,782 TPE
TPE ADVANTAGE: Colorado +355 TPE
Comments:
This is another really close matchup. Colorado’s +355 TPE lead is not a lot, and counts for even less since they’re playing in Berlin. Colorado has shown a glimmer of struggling over last season and took a Week 1 loss at home against an unpredictable Sarasota team. Berlin on the other hand absolutely spanked Baltimore in Week 1, but Baltimore might be the most struggling team this season. I think I’m going to have to go with Berlin in Week 2 and see if they are as good as their roster seems to be.

Baltimore: 14,084 TPE
TPE ADVANTAGE: San Jose +2734 TPE
Comments:
Baltimore played at home last week and only scored 3 points. I have no real reason to believe this week will be any different. Baltimore’s GM issues and leaking roster continue to be a detriment to their success. San Jose on the other hand is one of the middle of the pack teams that is going to have to elbow their way into the playoffs again. If San Jose can’t pick up a win here then they might as well call it a season already.

TOTALS:

Orange County: 19,582 TPE
TPE ADVANTAGE: Orange County +3189 TPE
Comments:
I am definitely a homer but only try to show it when placing bets. New York was hyped to pick up a Week 1 win of New Orleans who knocked them out of the playoffs last season, but this Orange County team looks mean. With Orange County holding both the TPE and home field advantages, it’ll be a hard fight for New York to win. I’ll have to pick logically in Week 2 and go with Orange County to walk away with the win.

TOTALS:
Honolulu: 15,910 TPE
New Orleans: 16,727 TPE
TPE ADVANTAGE: New Orleans +817 TPE
Comments:
The TPE difference between New Orleans and Honolulu is actually a lot closer than I had imagined. New Orleans always seems to play up and Honolulu seems to be playing down lately. Honolulu are going to be the underdogs in this game but I really want them to get a win. Regardless of what I want, I think New Orleans will win this one.

TPE ADVANTAGE: Arizona +2930 TPE
Comments:
Arizona players say they are cursed. After winning all of my predictions and then watching Arizona fall in the very last game last week, I don’t know; maybe there might be something to it. Arizona’s Week 1 loss to San Jose was unnecessarily close, with Arizona blowing a 17 point lead on their home field. Austin plays at home this week and Arizona has the TPE advantage. I’m going to go with Arizona again for the win, but I will do so hesitantly. If I pick them to win after a loss am I jinxing it? Or if I don’t pick them will they win to prove me wrong? I am losing track of this magic malarkey.
