IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWNNNNNN!
Three weeks of the AF1 regular season left and we've got two playoff spots up for grabs. We've got five teams with a path to those final two spots and lucky for us many of those teams play each other on the field (some of them multiple times) over the final stretch here.
We've got a doozy of a slate with some decent games, but before we dive into this week's picks, let's see how last week's went.
AF1 Week 11 Review
Oregon-Nashville Under 88.5 - Winner
Combined for 86 points
Albany -18.5 - Winner
Albany wins 64-27, covers
Billings-Salina Over 84.5 - Winner
Combined for 101 points
Southwest Kansas -18.5 - Winner
Southwest Kansas wins 63-7, covers
4-0 week baby! Don't look now but we're starting to get hot with the AF1 picks. The top and bottom of the league are incredible far apart right and some teams are showing us who they are week in and week out, while others are just as unpredictable as the day is long.
But 4-0 is in the rear view mirror. We don't look at the rear view mirror, we aren't going there. We look through the front windshield and we've got a three game slate ahead of us that yearns to be picked.
LET'S FIND SOME WINNERS!
2025 AF1 Record: 21-14
Washington Wolfpack vs Salina Liberty (Saturday 5/31 @ 7:30 PM ET)
The Play: Salina -20.5
#DTW. Don't Trust Washington.
Liberty, Liberty, Liiiiiiberty. Liiiiiiberty.
Prediction: 55-19 Salina
Nashville Kats vs Corpus Christi Tritons (Sunday 6/1@ 6 PM ET)
The Play: Nashville -16.5
This is going to be a pivotal game in the playoff race as we wind down the season, but I anticipate Nashville dictating the pace of this one from beginning to end here. Corpus Christi is literally a different team than the one that got them their 3 wins, and they have only been able to max out at 27 points in a game on offense since everything went down with their roster. Nashville can put up 50 with ease, and Corpus Christi would need to put 34+ to cover if that is the case. I just have a hard time seeing that with this roster. Kats.
Prediction: 52-26 Nashville
Oregon Lightning vs Billing Outlaws (Sunday 6/1@ 6 PM ET)
The Play: Over 87.5
The Outlaws are averaging 55 points per game since Malik Henry made his debut, and he MUST have a bounce back game from last week if the Outlaws want a chance to snag the final playoff spot. The Lightning have shown the ability to put points up in bunches and the Outlaws defense has been very soft recently. We might see 70+ in the first half of this one alone.
Losing this game is going to break either of these team's seasons -- so I expect both offenses to let it fly. Point points points points.
Prediction: 57-45 Billings
Let's have ourselves a weekend. Agree? Disagree? Are you riding or fading?
