Bitter Rivals matchup in Divisional Play-offs

Romo's Raiders had little problem with the Slot on wildcard week-end. Spanking JD 145-67. And what is his reward? A match-up with this season's jauggernaut, the Philly Hitmen. If not for the Hitmen, Romo would be the top seed in the play-offs. They finished with the same record (10-3), but the Hitmen had more points. Romo would be be king in any other division. But they were only second in the Four Horsemen division. The two teams split their divisional match-ups. Both games where very close. The play-off matchup will be close. Romo was given the edge on paper, but Craig just seems to be the leagues 800 pound gorilla this season.

The other match-up presents a different kind of rivalry. There will be no love lost in the Freeman household as Rando and Pamela square off. Rando should be pissed if he goes down to the Koyotes, who limped into the play-off out of the leagues weakest division. Pamela has been moaning all season about how bad her team is. To be humbled by her team would ... would kinda sux.

Regardless of who wins the Freeman match-up they will be underdogs to the Hitmen or the Raiders. Both teams are loaded, but you never know ... that's why they play the games.
