The Osaka Kaiju are in a tough spot to make the playoffs this season, as it feels as if every game is a "must win" game for them. As the NSFC currently stands, Baltimore and Yellowknife stand at the top with 8-3 records, while Sarasota holds the 3rd seed with a 7-4 record. The Kaiju are right behind with a 6-5 record, barely ahead of Cape Town and Berlin sitting at 5-6. As you can see, the NSFC is very close in record and every game counts. For Osaka, all of the remaining 5 games are must wins because they are all conference games. The toughest task will be week 12 against Baltimore. Luckily Osaka is at home and hopefully the travel arrangements for Baltimore keep them off their game. A win against the Hawks would be a great confidence boost to hopefully propel the Kaiju to wins over Colorado in W13 and Yellowknife in W14 both at home. If my crystal ball is correct, my prediction is that Osaka will be 8-6 after week 14 and the win and your in game will come against Sarasota or Berlin, both on the road. My money is on W15 against Sarasota being for a playoff spot. (205 words)
