Discuss the 1st Round Playoff matchup of the Bloomington Extreme (9-5) at the Omaha Beef (9-5) here!
These two teams did not play during the 2011 regular season.

Coming into this game the Bloomington Extreme (9-5) are ranked #9 and the Omaha Beef (9-5) are ranked #3.
Can Bloomington overcome their second half season slide and upset the hot Beef at home or will Omaha continue riding high off their upset of Sioux Falls last week?
Using the Massey Ratings Predictions, Omaha is favored by 16 points (36-20), so over/under is 56 points (very low, but both have good defensive squads). In a seven game series, Omaha is favored to take it in six games 4-2.

One of these teams will win it's first IFL playoff game... as a matter of fact, none of these teams has won in the post season since the Storm defeated them.. (Omaha in '05, Bloomington in '08) despite making the show every year since...

(Omaha in '05, Bloomington in '08) despite making the show every year since... That '05 loss was hard. Thought we had it that year and all the Storm did after that win was not lose for 2+ years. #*$@.

Using the Massey Ratings Predictions, Omaha is favored by 16 points (36-20), so over/under is 56 points. Using the OtB Predictions, Omaha is favored by 8 points (45-37), with over/under of 82 points. Actual: Omaha won by 5 points (39-34), total of 73. Both computer predictions got the winner correct, but OtB was a little better in predicting a closer game, and closer to the total number of points scored.
