WFL: For The Record

associatedfantasy , ,

The AF#6 Milan Wild Boars (11-1-0) have already secured the #1 seed and first round bye for the World League‘s Eastern Conference.  The defending World Champion AF#5 Old England Patriots (9-3-0) have also already secured their playoff ticket and will face rival AF#2 London Falling (8-4-0) in the Conference Semi-Final regardless of the outcome of their week 13 finale.  Nothing left to play for.  Irrelevant final game.  Pointless match-up.  Not so fast…….

The best season any franchise has ever posted in World League history was the 2017 Old England Patriots who finished with an 11-2-0 record; the Cinderella Wild Boars stand on the brink of breaking that record outright with a win against the record holder in the League’s Week 13 Premier World Match.  England can hold onto a share of the record by finishing with a win against the challenger.  This is the glory we play for.

And it should be an exciting match, with just a single touchdown spread according to the oddsmakers.  The pair met in the Week 2 Premier World Match and Milan took the win by just 4 points – their second slimmest margin of victory this year.  This rematch, pitting the 5th and 6th ranked teams (of 109) in the Association, is the biggest AF match-up of the 2019 season.
