Predictions for this weekend?
I think M&D will beat Aces and get to the final. Hard to predict them bigger Eagle Stix, especially in a 50 minute game. ES is just too big, talented and physical.
Hope M&D can embrance being the underdog and pull the upset.
I don't think the Eagle Stix game would be close with M&D. M&D doesn't have the speed/athleticism to hang with Eagle Stix.
I think the gap is more about size than speed or athleticism plus the complexity of ES's offense.
If M&D can win at least 50% of draws, and slow the game down, they have a chance. If they get down a few goals early, it could get ugly quickly.
Given that they are likely to play twice in 24 hours, i think this would be M&D an better shot in the second game.
Though I don't think they will make the title game, I think Aces matches up better with Eagle Stix due to their physicality.
