Let’s start where the climb was steepest. The Sodballers did exactly what desperate teams do — they ripped off three straight wins and grabbed the fourth and final playoff spot. Three weeks ago, they were outside looking in. Now they’re dancing.
Their reward? Deep Swish Pizza. The #1 seed. The steady hand. The team that’s looked untouchable all season. But I’ve been around this game a long time. “Unbeatable” is a word that expires the second that first shot goes up.
The other semi has some real bite. The #2 Tennessee Fireballers vs. the upstart #3 Rim Reapers. Back in Week 1, Tennessee won by 70. Seventy. But if you’re using Week 1 to handicap this matchup, you’re watching reruns. These are not the same teams.
This one feels like it’s coming down to the fourth shooters: N8THEGR8 for the Reapers and Fireballer for Tennessee. When the first three have done their damage and the totals are tight, who holds the line? That’s your ballgame.
