Discuss the 1st Round Playoff matchup of the West Texas Roughnecks (10-4) at Tri-Cities Fever (10-4) here!
These two teams did not play during the 2011 regular season.

Coming into this game the West Texas Roughnecks (10-4) are ranked #8 and the Tri-Cities Fever (10-4) are ranked #4.
Can West Texas come away with an upset road win, or will Tri-Cities justify their four rank and get their first playoff win since 2006? An interesting note to this game is that in 2005 (Fever's first season) these two met in the NIFL Playoffs (Conf Finals round) where the Fever upset the undefeated Roughnecks on their way to an NIFL Championship.
Using the Massey Ratings Predictions, Tri-Cities is favored by 6 points (46-40), so over/under is 86 points. In a seven game series, Tri-Cities is favored to take it in four games 4-0.

Using the OtB Predictions, Tri-Cities is favored by 6 points (46-40), with over/under of 86 points.
(Yes, it really is the exact same as Massey for this game... with a completely different algorithm to calculate the prediction)

The massey prediction for the reading/chicago game was strange since chicago was favored, but reading takes a seven game series. Also with massey, if you retry their seven game series predictions, you get different results each time...lol (I just went with whatever was spit out first).

Many times this year have at least picked the same winner between OtB and Massey, but you do get some difference here and there too. I haven't been publishing these predictions all year, since I was still working on my algorithms, but thought they may be interesting for the playoffs.
This season, a couple games have been really close to the predictions too. (For example, last week the 46-44 game was predicted at 45-45 by OtB)

Yeah, I didn't put the massey predictions on here either since i didn't want people using it for help in the picking contest (since I was behind most of the year).
