Berman: Ok all Divisional playoff time is a few hours away so lets do a little warm up shall we, maybe even get some inside info from a couple of players on what they do to prepare for these games. We'll start off with a quick recap on who survived WC weekend. The Plymouth Admirals advanced on a 7 point win over the visiting Cardinals who could muster all of 3 points, while their division rival the Nitro Shock squeaked out a 1 point victory while scoring 0 touchdowns. The All-Stars advanced by 3 points while the Spartans put a 38 spot and held their opponent to 0 points. So here is how the Divisional matchups look along with our experts picks on who wins and the reasoning.
L.A. All-Stars vs. Charrs- Charrs win this one. They gave up just one game all season and one touchdown while the Stars barely managed to squeak out a 3 point win in the WC round.
Nitro Shock vs Havelock 507 Crew- The Shock take this one in what should be an even matchup, and although the Shock did not manage a touchdown in their WC win, that should reverse itself in this game
Admirals vs Panthers- Panthers should have this one, the Admirals had an easy opponent in their first game but now they face a team that was undefeated in the regular season.
Spartans vs Bears- Spartans should have another win as they look to prove that their 38 point win was no fluke.
Berman: Now we have a special treat we have 2 quarterbacks for you today from the Admirals and the Shock. First we asked Arnold Rohr of the Shock how he prepares for big games.
Rohr: Well quite simple really, I go to the local pub and I order a couple rounds of drinks to loosen up before a 3 mile jog through the countryside. I get home, toss a football around with the guys to stay focused and then I go to church and do a lot of praying, mostly to not get sacked.
Berman: Simple way to stay focused for a big game, I do the same before a recap show except I eat a big meal rather than go for a big run. Here's Antoine Hamer of the Admirals on how he does it.
Hamer: I like to start off with a healthy breakfast and then a nice long workout with the trainer. Afterwords I tend to watch games of the other team to get a feel for their style and then incorporate that into the weeks practice. Simple stuff like that really, I'm not a big runner or drinker.
Berman: Should be fun to watch these two men play in their respective games, and we should have some exciting games all around.
