I have a horrible feeling about this game. We haven't beat Detroit twice in the same season in 13 years. Plus we're pretty banged up and home dogs to a team that is better than us. :smt100

Good luck FFF.

Here's a not quite complete picture of the Western Conference. I've given up on figuring out the wild cards, all I know for sure is that Las Vegas needs to win to make it, and that Santa Cruz, Seattle, El Paso and Tulsa are still alive. I don't think Arizona have a chance. If anybody else wants to take a shot, you're welcome! :D

For those whose sarcasm detectors are not working that was a big dose right there. I don't feel good about this game, especially after getting my ass kicked by Honolulu (no offense Bug).
