The draft is over, practice is done, and the away teams are in flight making headwind towards the home teams who are looking for their first W of the season. But before the first fumble, before the first .01 loss (yes I am looking at you again Mookie) and before the first choke/injury/debauchery of the season, the Associated Subsim Writers will give you their 411 based on what they saw in the preseason.

THE BATTLE

Mark it down here and now, the Subsimmers is the strongest division. Of the six teams, there are potentially five teams which could make the playoffs. The division includes one former Champions and four of the divisional winners from the last two years. But your Torpedo Bowl Champion is not going to come from this division.

THE CHAMPIONS

This years prediction is for the Torpedo Bowl Champion to be our first foreign team. The Nighthawks, relocated to London from Cyprus, have blitzed the opposition in their first two years in the competition. Their opening match against the other foreign based team looks to be their toughest bout of the season, plus they only have to play the Dragons once.

SO CLOSE

The closest team to a Dynasty in the Subsim League, the Dragons have been the heavy favourite for their few years. Repeat champions and play off appearances, they are the A.S.W. prediction to meet the Nighthawks in the Torpedo Bowl, only to fall in the last quarter.

THE OUTSIDER

For the last two years they have back doored their way into the playoffs, sneaking past the supergiants of the league and taking their division, sometimes, not in the prettiest form, but as we have long known, Every Given Sunday there is one team to look out for. This year, EGS start the playoffs as the predicted wildcard.

THE LONG SHOT

Not the year they were looking for last year, the Wild Boston Terriers are looking to bounce back to their forms of years gone past. Competing in the stronger of the two divisions, the Terriers will struggle with the wins and losses within the division, and barely make the play offs.

THE WTF?

It may be their only trophy of the year, barely above .500% team last year, but somehow, they have been awarded the best drafted team of 2011, the Australian Taipans. Their only saving grave to getting into the play offs this year is as the #2 team from the Surface Skimmers Division - because the Subsimmers will take wins and losses from each other.

There you have it folks, 5 predictions, one champion and a lot of heart ache over the next 16 weeks. But the best part is - none of this means anything, cause the first kick off, the first fumble, and the first touchdown has yet to be scored.

We'll be back each week in another thread, as the 2011 Subsim Fantasy Football League races towards another Torpedo Bowl in January.

For the Associated Subsim Writers, this is Gut Wrench readying for the kick off tomorrow night.
