That first round of the playoffs is tricky, I won't go back and look up stats, but it always feels like 50 50 for the upset. I kind of take to whole season series and throw it out the window. Weather becomes a huge factor as most teams will work heavy run in Oct and Nov as the passing game becomes sketchy. Its really important for the Stamps to try to force the Lions into a outside game to level off Rourke.
I'm ok with not getting the bye that a first place finish brings. It always feels like an upset in the making.
Right now if the Stamps make the playoffs which they will, they're playing with house money. Remember this is a really young team that was expected to be nowhere near the playoffs this year.
