In 2008 few people thought Fresh Kills would be able to beat the Hookers to win the championship, but down by two goals, they stormed back and won it all. Who could ever forget the Miracle at Moffo, when a tired, hungry Elves team crushed What the Puck 7-1 on the last day of the regular season, to vault the then-not-so-hated Demons into the top spot? 2010 brought three huge upsets in the playoffs. It started with Gut Rot winning in a shootout vs. WTP, then the Butchers beat the definitely-hated-Demons and concluded with the Elves beating the heavily favored Hookers for the championship.

 So with Rain Fears gripping our Commissioner, and the previews already done, lets look at this week’s games to see if there are any upsets on the horizon. And keep in mind, you cant really predict an upset, or else it wouldn’t be an upset.

While I have Poutine winning by 3, I really don’t think it would be a huge upset at all if the Fighters won since they have the best player and more talent. So cant call it an upset if no team is favored.

Chance of upset 0%.

This would be an upset of the most giant proportions. The Rehabs would have had a giant edge in girls if this was 2009, but now with MDF in Beirut looking for the Taliban, and Kehoe boycotting BTSH in Pittsburgh  the best girl the Rehabs got is that tan transvestite that goes by the name Rob. And with the Hookers having as Sven calls her, “Sarah, the Dartmouth Destroyer” Tiffany, and Overrated yet still talented Noelle along with Anchu, Jackie and that other blonde girl that they just brought, an upset aint gonna happen. Chance of upset 0%. Plus I hear a rumor that the Rehabs suck.

Throw away the seeds, the Demons are heavy favorites. You never heard of Lee, but trust me, he’s the best player on the rink and he’s on the Demons. They have the best scorer in Tinklemen, and even the best fan in Papa Tinks. Their girls of Jenn “I love my hot boyfriend” Poppack and Tracy “Jenn Poppack’s boyfriend is hot!” Miller are candidates for female Rookie of the Year. Actually they are not because there wont be one this year because Zach “That’s Hilarious” Norris has demanded that there be no female ROY, and instead have two Male Rookie of the Years since he wants to be the first person to win that award twice.

But I digress. The Anklebiters have Craig, Joe, that other dude that is great at Buck Hunter and always scores and some veteran ladies that can smush you in broomball and arm wrestling. Notice I said you because I’ve never lost to a girl in anything. This would be a pretty big upset and one that can actually happen. Phil needs to let the Misses amp up the competitiveness and if so, we very well may say an upset.

Chance of upset 40%.

Both these teams shocked most people by making it to the semis in 2010, and they did it again last season. But I guarantee an upset aint in the cards next Sunday. Simply because there is no favorite. Chance of upset 0%.

Double Rookie of the Year Candidate Zach “I’m going to buy a mirror because I’m so much better than you at hockey” Norris and Andy “I feel so under-appreciated now that Zach “Takes all the credit” Norris” Pratt lead the charge against Fresh Kills. Fresh Kills is great, Math is not. But if you’re gonna beat FK, this maybe the week to do it. FK’s confidence will be soaring after the 17-0 drunk drubbing they put on the Mathletes earlier this year. And after winning the championship, there is a tendency to take the first real round lighter. Meanwhile, this is Math’s championship. A win here and this season is a remarkable success. Fresh Kills also is not a great scoring team, so a good goalie performance by Imrul or Super Joe, can lead Math to the upset. If 4 or more goals are scored in this game, there is no chance. Math will not score 3. They better make the goals they do get past Barch count.

Odds of upset: 7%.
