Minnesota at Dallas
The Corporation brings his Minnesota Vikings
into Dallas, Texas to do battle against The
Iguana. Dallas gets the extra AP for homefield
advantage, and it looks like he�???�??�?�¢??ll need it.
These two squared off the very first week of the
season. Minnesota won by a foul in the 11th round,
and had a large lead on all cards while both
fighters were in similar condition. However,
Minnesota (+6 S-A) was the home team in that
fight. With the extra AP, Dallas (+11 S-A) has a
chance to make it interesting. Minnesota has gone
6-2 against sluggers this season, while Dallas
went 4-3 against similar teams.

Chicago Bears @ San Francisco 49ers
Not even one hour has elapsed, then the tickets
for the NFC Playoff match between the 49ers and
the Chicago Bears, to take place on May 30, were
completely sold out. As the winner of the NFC
West division the 49ers are having homefield
advantage. The Bears moved into the playoffs
by wildcard as No. 3 placed team in the NFC
North, the by far strongest division of the
regular season. It is the meetings of two
similary hard punching sluggers who together
have landed 17 KOs out of total 22 wins. One of
these KOs was scored by the Bears in week 8 of
the season, when the playoff rivals still were
fighting for divisional rankings. Not only will
the 49ers,leaded by grandmaster nino, try everything
to redeem the preliminary round defeat, as the
playoff host they seem to be in a position of the
slightly favorite. But: They will face a highly
motivated Bears team who currently are on a streak
of 5 consecutive wins and captained by the
defending champion and living legend Slick Willy.
Leading a slugger to the playoffs against really
strong competitors requires exceptionally skills
which both managers have in common. If the teams
are able to perform their best game we will see a
great fight full of action. Let's look forward to it.
Good luck to the teams, good luck to the managers.
