I feel like an interesting game to write about is Norfolk vs bondi simply because of the early season match up where Norfolk beat bondi badly by a score of18 points Now bondi defence have gained a staggering amount of TPE while Norfolk have shown there human by Lossing a few games
I feel like bondi is more equipped to deal with 3 capped WR and with the TDL picking up 3 defensive players and having a secondary of almost capped players means bondi won’t be burnt like last time so it should be a very competitive game On offence the BBB offence has changed a lot since the first game with Erickeson leading the league in receiving touchdowns sevrin being top 3 in rushing and with Novak being a good number 2 option in the passing game This gonna be the last leauge game of the season before playoffs so this could hold massive playoff implications as Norfolk could be fighting for the 1seed and a loss could derail that
The most obvious answer for the ASFC has to be the week 16 matchup between the Arizona Outlaws and the San Jose Sabercats. You know why? Do you really want to know why? Well, outside of the obvious rivalry these two teams have, stemming back to the creation of the league, The San Jose Sabercats are also one game ahead of the Arizona Outlaws in the standings. Week 16 will make or break who will be the 2 seed and the 3 seed in the ASFC and who will have homefield advantage for their first matchup of the playoffs. Whoever wins that game will have to obviously march down to New Orleans to play the Secondline, but you really got to take the league one game at a time, and having homefield advantage for the first playoff game can always make or break a team, winning can help you get that momentum going into the playoffs, or losing can demoralize the team.

Looking at the remaining slate of games for the regular season, I would lift up three different games that should get prime time considerations. The first one is the week 14 matchup with the Baltimore Hawks and the Sarasota Sailfish. Both are vying for the top spots in the National Simulation Football Conference with Baltimore currently at 10-3 and the Sailfish at 9-4, which means that this match will have lots of importance with so little to go. The next matchup that I want to bring up is between the Baltimore Hawks and the New Orleans Secondline in week 16. This might not have any playoff implications, but might be a showdown of the teams with the best records in each conference and could be a preview of the Ultimus, who knows? The final game I want to mention is another week 16 game, between the Arizona Outlaws and the San Jose Sabercats. They currently sit at number 2 and 3 in the American Simulation Football Conference and this might be the game that helps decide the standings between them.
For the Norfolk Seawolves it has been quite an up and down season that has led to their 5-4-1 record through the first ten games. While one of the statistical top teams in the league, the team has struggled to close out close games and extend a lead on the conference.
Still, the one goal that everyone has their eyes set on is winning the conference and going into the playoffs with homefield advantage. In the last four game stretch of the regular season, this leaves one clear time circled on the schedule, the Dallas Birddogs. This team is also at a 5-4-1 record, having tied with Norfolk in their week 3 matchup 28-28. As one of two remaining conference matchups these two teams have in the last four games and as a matchup with the two current top teams in the DSFL South, this could be the biggest deciding factor in who wins the conference, or even who makes the playoffs at all should Tijuana or Bondi Beach be able to surge into the competition.

The game that I would put in the primetime light is going to be the upcoming game between the Baltimore Hawks and the Sarasota Sailfish. There is almost a three way tie in the NSFC right now. The Sailfish have been finding their groove in the final stretch of the season. If the Sailfish win this game, it puts them in a very good position to be first in the NSFC going into the playoffs. If they lose, they still have two very winnable games to close out the season, but they will be in a wild card spot which will just make it that much more difficult to make it to the championship. With the Baltimore Hawks, they too are on a hot streak right now. They have had a very successful year, but this game against the Sailfish will be a challenge for them. Their worst loss of the season came by the hand of the Sailfish. I think that the winner of this game will most likely win the NSFC and will have the greatest chance to win it all.
With only four games left on the 8-2 London Royals slate this season I think it's safe to say that we've got the number one playoff seeding all but locked down at this point in the season. Despite that, two of the remaining four games on the schedule are conference games which could have a huge effect momentum wise heading into the playoffs. Sure, we've dominated the conference all year but losses to either the Pythons or Coyotes down the stretch could give those teams some confidence heading into the playoffs that they can actually knock off the number one seed Royals. On that same token, if those teams can manage a win down the stretch against us it might give other teams in the DSFL the belief they can beat the Royals in the playoffs of Ultimini. My suggestion is that we put both of those games on primetime so the Royals can dismantle both conference rivals for all to see to squash any confidence teams may have.
