Streator (2-5) @ Reed-Custer (2-5) - Not the season RC envisioned after having a generational group come through the last two years. Streator played the 'Tone tough and who knows, maybe they are starting to click. If RC is hanging their heads about being eliminated from playoffs, I think it is possible for Streator to sneak a win in, however I don't think that will be the case. I think RC picks up this win, but I'm not sure how easy it will be for them. RC 28 - Streator 21
Coal City (5-2) @ Herscher (2-5) - CC will bounce back after getting owned by the Cats. Don't think it will be close. CC 42 - Herscher 10
Lisle (1-6) @ Peotone - (4-3) - Peotone needs the next two to be guaranteed a playoff spot. Lisle is atrocious and they cannot be motivated to go out and play. Easy win for the Tone. Devils 35 - Lisle 7
Manteno (4-3) @ Wilmington (6-1) - GOTW! Default game of the week. Only game featuring two teams with winning records. Manteno needs one of the next two to be considered for playoffs, but I don't think it'll happen. They surprised me this season by winning 4, and maybe they will be on the up. The confidence has to be pumping in Wilmatucky and they can fine tune some things before playoffs. No challenge here either. Wilmo 42.- Manteno 14
Playoff thoughts
Wilmo, CC, and Peotone appear to be the only teams that will qualify. I hate to say it, but the doubters who mentioned it throughout the season appear to be right. The ICE is pretty weak overall IMO. RC back to earth, Lisle has turned into a joke of a team, Manteno still isn't there yet, and the last two well they competed and picked up a few wins each.
Will all 5 win teams get in this year? I know they did last year, and I am unsure of the numbers this year. If they don't, what will the cutoff be for playoff points.
