PT Task #1 Offensive Comparison: 239 words
The ASFC QB showdown, Draxel versus Boss.
Both the Otters and the Outlaws have 9 wins and 5 losses.
Draxel has 20 TDs with 2858 passing yards with a pass completion percentage of 51.4% in 14 games. This means that Draxel is averaging 204 yards thrown per game.
Boss on the other hand has thrown 11 TDs, 2334 passing yards with a pass completion percentage of 59.7% in 11 games. This means that Boss is averaging 211 yards thrown per game.
Now lets focus on the bad, Boss has thrown a grand total of 19 interceptions this season compared to Draxel's 14. Boss is averaging about 1.7 interceptions per game compared to Draxel's 1.3.
Now from these stats, it looks like Boss is definitely more efficient, however was very accident prone early on in his career, enough to get benched for a double header. Draxel appears to be a stronger red zone threat with more touchdowns thrown in the end-zone.
Now lets compare TPE earned: Mike Boss has 172 TPE compared to Draxel's 107. Now where is the greatest difference? They seem to be even on arm strength, however Boss edge's out Draxel on accuracy 81 to his 80. The big game changer is intelligence. Boss has 80 intelligence compared to Draxel's 71.
Now who would I rather have throwing? I'd choose boss, he's all around better and with the protection that Angus Winchester brings, it gives me more confidence.
PT Task #2 Defensive Comparison: 272 words
The ASFC Defensive Linemen Showdown, Tuck versus Reigns and friends.
Tuck has an impressive 16 sacks and 17 tackle for loss, he is the defacto league leader in sacks. Reigns isn't no slouch though. He has 14 sacks but a meager 4 tackles for loss. One thing I'd like to mention is Reigns plays defensive tackle while Tuck plays Defensive End.
Next lets compare stats. The two are almost identical in many regards, except Jayce Tuck is Stronger (80 vs 72), faster (80 vs 79) and is better at securing tackles (64 to 42).
So Tuck is the better defensive linemen. Now one thing to note is Tuck is really a 1 man army. He is doing all the heavy lifting for the defensive line. The otters have a much more balanced front and have a very well rounded defense.
Now the big question for when the playoff game starts is, can J. Tuck carry his defensive line by himself? He will need to make a many great plays to ensure his team the victory. The main reason for this is because if his fellow defensive linemen aren't up to par, the opposing team can exploit that and gain many yards by going through the weaker players. Even if Tuck picks up a couple of sacks, the otters are still could be getting first downs by attacking the weaker linement. Meanwhile Reigns just needs to stay cool and rely on his other teamates like Harris and Tomlinson.
My guess is that Tuck will outperform Reigns but I just don't see it being enough compared to the better defensive line of the Otters.
PT Task #3 Bottom Third: 200 words on San Jose not making the playoffs
San Jose missed the playoffs and was regarded as one of the worst teams in the league for a while. There are a few reasons for this. The first reason is the coach had something happen and he had to step away and focus his attention else where. This occured during the middle of the season which spurred a massive losing streak. Secondly we had Jameis Christ as our QB. He was doing alright, but from what the media has gathered, he would just show up, do his job and leave without any enthusiasm. He wasn't trying to improve and get better, just trying to collect a pay check. Both of these issues caused the sabercats many problems. They ended up changing management as well as trading away bert metas (a defensive tackle) for Ethan Hunt (a quarterback). This ended up doing pretty well because since then, they've had a 50% win rate instead of the like 20% or lower they had earlier in the season. The final week of the season is when they really kind of figured things out. They ended up blowing out the hawks by a massive point differential. One player was quoted: "Yeah we had some problems, yeah we fixed them and you better be ready for us next year because we are going to bring it."

Otters vs the Outlaw
I believe the otters will take this. I've already typed up comparing QB and defensive line above, Both of which I think I'd prefer the otters. Next lets compare the offensive lines. The otters have the much better offensive line. Angus Winchester is the best offensive linemen in the league. He's been serving up more pancakes than IHOP without blowing coverage. Gregor clegane is also a great offensive linemen for the otters. They have some other players that aren't too notable. Now for the Outlaws, really they don't have any star offensive linemen. I think this combined with Draxel being worse than boss gives the otters a huge edge. Not to mention the balanced defensive line being able to get through this very weak outlaw offensive line. One thing that outlaws do have is stars, Tuck is great and so is Stormblessed. If these specific studs can really carry the offense and defense, then maybe the outlaws have a shot.
Wraiths vs Yeti
I believe this is a very close game, but the Colorado Yeti will take it.
The biggest reason is they played each other during week 14, and the Yeti won 20 to 10. Not much is going to change between now and playoffs so I'm not sure how the wraiths will be able to change this.
PT Task #6 Playoff Series MVP: 203 words on angus winchester
I believe that Angus Winchester will be the playoff series MVP. I know what you are thinking, An offensive linemen for MVP? Yeah it's hard to quantify that position because they aren't directly adding points, yards or subtracting them. However, I think that he will maintain his 0 sacks allowed and continue pancaking any opposition. He is currently leading the lead in pancakes and sacks allowed for his position. From what I've noticed, most of the defensive linemen have been stacking speed to get to the play whether that is a sack or a tackle, however I think that Angus is just immovable and impenetrable. Also when these speedsters line up against him, he just knocks them down and laughs. I think that maintaining a strong defense is how teams need to go about winning play off games. The problem is I just don't see how teams can pressure the quarterback with Angus on the line. All of the other positions will have good games and bad games. However, there is only one player that can definitively say they have had a perfect season for themself so far, and if he closes that out in post season, he should be awarded the MVP.
