Posted by Bodog Sports on 10/7/2007, 6:13 pm Warner Twolves vs. SWA is the Game of the Week for 1st place in Warner. WL Black could end up 2nd if they beat the Twolves in the last game and the Twolves would drop to 3rd. If the Twolves beat SWA and lose to WL Black, it could be a three-way tie for 1st. Rock, paper, scissors anyone? #2 LCP Timberwolves at #2 SWA Black (The early game for ESPN’s Gameday crew) – The Dog Bowl at the Dawg Pound. A SWA win gives them the #1 seed. Has SWA ever had a bigger game? No pressure. Bodog checked the Chinese zodiac calendar and guess what? It is the year of the Dog. Actually it’s the year of the Pig, but we aren’t in China and SWA is having a better year than Houston Nutt anyway. So if you don’t tell, neither will Bodog. Marquee match-up is the CTPW #2 offense of LCP vs. the CTPW #3 Junkyard Dawg defense. The Twolves have speed and creativity on offense to attack the SWA defense that WL Black lacked. The Dawgs defense has all the subtlety of a Mixed Martial Arts Heavyweight Champ in a bad mood. Can the untested Wolves take a punch? We are about to find out. The Wolves give up scores and the Dawgs have a competent offense. Not a Marquee match-up, but it is the match-up that will decide the outcome. Watch out for the fire ants. 21-20 SWA. Actual 24-14 LCP. Hard to call it an upset when the Twolves were tied for first in conference. Bodog originally wanted to make it a pick’em but decided he needed to man up. Twolves were in control of the game, but SWA fought back valiantly. Twolves tempo kept the Dawgs Defense on its heels and the LCP outside game spread out Dawgs power defense. Twolves beat WL Black and the number 1 seed is theirs. SWA is done with conference play with one loss and head to head tie breaker over WL Black. And yes, the Wolves can take a punch. #7 NWA at #9 GT Blue – “In-N-Out” Bowl. It certainly couldn’t be called the Chickfila bowl ESPN, because these Bovine don’t fly. Strictly ground round. The NWA reference library stops at circa 1920. No moving pictures. No forward passes. Bodog kids because he cares and mostly because NWA has blown Bodog’s predictions the last two weeks. From genius to buffoon just like that. Not enough barb wire in all of Georgetown to stop the Horns ground stampede. The Horns pass defense consists only of heavy pressure on the QB, which is a good thing for GT, unless you happen to be the PW Mom of the GT QB. GT offense will have success through the air if they get the ball out quickly on one and three step drops. Deep drops equal deep doo-doo. Good news for the Eagles, Bodog picks NWA 24-13. A sure meatloaf recipe for a GT win. Go see the super nice ladies in the concession shed and get a frosty snow cone with a little something extra on it and be sure to tell them how awesome they are, the ladies and the snow cones. Actual: Eagles get free passes to Dart Bowl. NWA gets double date with East Austin. Eagles may have gotten the bigger better deal. #4 Westlake Black at #1 East Austin (The late Gameday game) – “The Birds & The Bees” Bowl presented by ACME. Ice bowl might be a more appropriate name because both teams can bring it and the PW Mom’s on these teams bring the bling. The biggest game of the day that doesn’t count, in the standings anyway. Bodog does not think this is a rematch of last year’s CENTEX championship. WL has upgraded several positions and this team has quality D1 coaching. Think coaching doesn’t count? Bodog gives you Norv Turner as exhibit A. WL offers the best matchup for the Jackets with CENTEX’ # 2 defense and #3 offense. WL matches EA in intensity, but not in speed and athleticism. Due to the loss to the Dawgs, WL can’t afford to show up with anything other than their A game. In a surprising turn of events, EA lines up three Roadrunners in the backfield and WL plays the part of Wiley Coyote all day. Keep an eye out for falling anvils and dynamite laden footballs. WL has a punchers chance if EA comes out flat and the Chaps can catch lightning in a bottle. 6-0 EA at half-time ends up 26-0 EA as the Yellow Jackets depth and overall ability prevail. Actual: 34-8 EA. Westlake lands a 4th down haymaker in the first round and combo punches it in for a 6-0 score to let the Jackets know it won’t be a laydown. Both teams go toe to toe, but EA #4 goes Pre-Buster Douglass Mike Tyson. WL#2 gains the respect of everyone in the stadium, while #81 goes the distance like Rocky. Too many other honorable mentions on both sides but Bodog is running out of boxing material. Both teams leave it all on the field. Westlake scores, but Bodog gets an exacta on the 26 point spread. WA Blue at #6 Westlake Silver – “Lazarus Bowl”. WA looks forward to playing the spoiler role. Based on the number of “don’t underestimate WL Silver” posts, WL needs to guard against overconfidence. WL defense should handle the Wranglers offense. Sputtering WL offense depends on two big play threats and needs to display offensive consistency to make any kind of noise in the playoffs. Wranglers players look forward to Austin High mini-me reenactment game at the Chap’s house. But the Slaughterhouse is relocated 10 miles south for the weekend. WL 20-7. Actual: 7-0 WL. OK, now Bodog is getting a little freaked out by the power of the thing in the leather pouch and the whole Slaughterhouse deal. In a game that set offensive football back 60 years, or a great defensive battle if you roll that way, WL scores off of a defensive turnover for the only TD of the day. LT Black at #5 LCP Lions – “Rebound Classic”. Lions roar back at home. 28-0. Actual: 33-0 LCP. Lions finish conference play and lock up 2nd place.
