Cup O' Joe - Week 15 Predictions

Cup O' Joe - Week 15 Predictions

Here we go...crunch time. The home stretch. Time to see who's made of what.

Okay, enough with the cliches. It's time to throw down here in the AFL, and we kick this off with a couple of big games, though none bigger than...

San Francisco (9-3-1) @ Seattle (10-3): This one clinches the Frontier division, and probably a first-round bye. I think that's enough on the line to turn this rivalry up a few notches. Add the #1 and #3 defenses, and the #11 and #7 offenses, and you have a war on your hands. This one will come down to field position and turnovers. Nobody's better at takeaways than San Francisco, who leads the league with 35, including 22 on interceptions. They are a +10 on the year, while Seattle is a -1. Add a rookie quarterback in against the highest profile secondary in the league, and you have a recipe for disaster for Seattle. They weathered it in Week 3, but the Generals were not the same team now as they were then. I think San Francisco is the better team this week, and will win this one going away, behind a big effort by their defense.
Prediction: San Francisco 17, SEATTLE 10 (8-4, GoTW Predictions)
