Samuel vs Erik

Both teams entered this contest at 7-4, looking up at the 10-1 Matt Micropolitans, but very much in play for a Wild Card. The Sackbuts came out of the tunnel fired up, determined to not go to overtime as they had in their previous four contests, and got a statement road win!

Vince vs Matt
NPL Title Belt Match!

The Micropolitans need no favors to keep their winning streak going, but the Vapulaters were feeling generous. They gift the division leader a Free Win, the second for Matt this season, as a way of showing that they’re thankful for being a part of the Micropolitans historic run.

Ricky vs Brent

The Rock Lobsters had a horrid start, 1-7 in the first eight games, but they’ve been solid in recent weeks. They managed to even the season series at 1-1 against both Jerry and Cari, but Brent had to come in and pee in their Cheerios. The BB Cannons get the sweep.

Cari vs Jerry

Despite losing three of their last four, this one a blowout to the Jaws-of-Life, the Cari Bous have made strides in 2025. They split the series against every divisional opponent and find themselves tied for first in the Psychic Division with only two weeks left in the season. But, the big win has Jerry hot on their heels, just one game out from the division leaders!

LeScoot vs Adam

This clutch overtime win keeps LeScoot alive, just two games back from the division lead with two weeks to go. The best they can do is 6-8 on the year, but that just might be good enough this season.

Ethan vs Rachel

Rachel loves playing in the Augur Division! The division leader is just 3-3 when facing the rest of the NPL, but a perfect 6-0 against Miranda, Ethan, and Kelly. They smack down Ethan, again, to guarantee a post season appearance for the third year in a row!

The Zeros hold off the inspired Miranda offense in Week 12 and improve to a solid 8-4 as we enter the final weeks of the 2025 regular season. They’re right in the thick of things. Miranda adds one more to the second-best losing streak in NPL history.

Corey blows out the visiting Tichorrhines at home, winning their second straight when they needed it most. They’re in a good spot with two weeks to go, but the Auspex Division is likely going to come down to the wire.

The Labeorphiles executed in all three phases of this one: pre-funk, party, after party. They also played some decent football in there somewhere. They get a big late-season win to stay at the top of the division with time running out.

Axell vs Kevin

The Killcows can’t bully the Abactors in 2025. They get swept by the cow boys on the year, and find Axell hot on their heels chasing that Sage Division banner. Axell gets hot at the right time, winning their third, as the playoff picture starts to come into focus.

Game of the Week

Brandon bested Bette last time, but the Blue Tits are singing a different tune after this PRIIIIIIIME TIIIIIIIME match-up! Bette goes on the road and gets revenge for their Week 8 loss with a two score victory. Brandon falls to 4-8 and is still mathematically alive, but the victorious Blue Tits, at 5-7, are only one game back with two weeks to go!
