You don't wanna peak too early though The teams are pretty even, so you should lose some along the way, you just don't want them at the pointy end of the season
Looks tough from here for the Phantoms with the Hammers out of finals contention. Realistically the Pandas are the only ones who can challagne, but they'll need a string of wins.
Next game (Seahawks @ Pandas) is the most critical game of the season now. Could settle everything or really open it up.
