The lifetime stats are also updated. (click here...)
First round matchups:
(1) Steve vs. Play-in Winner #1
Steve has been the most dominant player in the league over the past month, and also has the best lifetime record. No one wants to play Steve.
Odds: Steve 8-1
(2) Andy vs. Play-in Winner #2
Andy has had a difficult season, but still came out with a strong record, and is a big favorite against Dan or Anthony.
Odds: Andy 8-4
(3) Seth Gardner vs. (6) Nicky Nutt
Maybe too many "Nutts" for Nick this season. He has struggled mightily, finishing with only a .500 record. Seth Gardner is going to roll unless Nutt gets his focus back.
However, Nick says "I will make it past the first round...mark my words."
(they are marked, above)
Odds: Seth 8-6
(4) Drew! vs. (5) Otto Katt
This battle is a tossup. Drew played well this season, and made it to the championship game in Season 1 with a similar seeding. But Otto "Slam" Katt will fight every opponent to the end, and he is a fierce competitor.
Odds: Drew 8-5
Play-in game #1:
(8) Adam vs. (9) BC Joe
What a rematch! This is a replay of the Season 1 play-in game. Remember, it was a best-of-9 series, and BC won it 5-4. This season, the play-in matches will be best-of-15. You have to expect this to be an 8-7 match.
Odds: Adam 8-7
Play-in game #2:
(7) Dan vs. (10) Anthony Mancino
Anthony learned the game quickly and came on strong at the end. He is a much better player than his lowly 10 seed shows. But Dan is a fighter. Have you ever seen him after a match of Pang? Exhausted! This match should be an excellent one, but watch for the upset.
Odds: Anthony 8-6
