No no no.... THIS is what will happen...
USA vs. Machines
As much as I'm rooting for USA, the only way I see Machines losing is if they try to squeeze in a PON. Machines fears USA too much for that (combined with their constant doubting of their own team) and will PCT and as such will win a close game while pulling away at the end.
Machines + 12
Phantoms vs. Dragons
The Dragons look to avenge their early season fluke loss @ Phantoms
(36158063) In these two team's only real matchup of the season it took an early foul out of Dragon's C and a injury to the his backup for Phantoms to win. This time around Phantoms is the one with injury problems. The Dragons maneuvered for this matchup so for their sake they better hope they win.
Dragons + 15
TF vs. Riverdogs
With TF's self-noted overhaul of his team I think he hurt his chances to win this game, not that he had that great of chances anyways. Riverdogs has what in my opinion looks like the best team in the division this season and I would peg him as my favorite to promote. That coupled with TF's moves is too much as Riverdogs wins this game in a run-away fashion.
Riverdogs + 15
10 inch vs. Bullish
In what should be the closest of the first round matchups, these teams are similar as both are built on great D and great inside games. I think either one of these teams would have a great chance of winning the conference final, but unfortunately only one of them can get there. I will take Bullish over 10inch has the home team as won each matchup this season. A nice close game all the way through though.
Bullish +5
