- B – Can MegaMind finish strong and take out the HoundDogs? Can we really have HoundDogs and GroundHogs as champs?! MegaMind is tough, but if Dave plays his usually game and is supported by his team, this game will go to the HoundDogs.
- 19+ - Isotopes are 6-1, and unfortunately for RunTNC, it is like running up Iwo Jima at the end of the marathon! Isotopes takes the crown.
- Women – Oreos vs. Saints. WOW! This will be a great game to watch! Both have only 1 loss, and will be a close match! It will hinge on whether the Saints can contain Oreo #22, who has proven to be unstoppable to date!

Sharks turned the ball over several times, and Ninja made them pay!
