a. Which of these teams has stronger offensive firepower?



To answer this question I did some quick maffs. I compared the offensive player power compared to stats totals from the regular season. The Renegades have 15147 offensive power compared to Buffalo's 14535 offensive power, so the Renegades have the edge there. But on the stats side of things, the Renegades only have 2 players in the top 15, where Buffalo has 3. So Buffalo has the edge there. I'm giving Buffalo the edge overall.







b. This is Texas’s first cup appearance since winning it in S36, while Buffalo is recovering from 2 recent final losses to Hamilton. Which team will have a bigger chip on their shoulder entering the finals.



This is great because both teams are hungry for a win, and while the finals drought was long for Texas, this is pretty much an entirely different team from what they were 20 seasons back, compare that to a current hungry Stampede team, where there are current team members that have been so close in back-to-back-to-back seasons. It will be very interesting to see if the 3rd time's the charm for Buffalo and the team members who don't have a championship yet.







c. Which of these two teams' brandings do you prefer? Take into account colors, logo, name, location, and anything else you consider relevant.



While the Texas Renegades branding is far from the worst in the league, in my opinion, the Buffalo Stampede branding has it beat. The best part about the Stampede's branding is the double meaning with the name, one being a stampede of the large plains animal, and the other being the team name. While I will admit the Renegades is one of the better "western personalities" team names, I still prefer Buffalo especially when it comes to color schemes.







d. Would you rather have to spend a long weekend hanging out in Dallas or Buffalo? What would you do?


As much as I tend to think I like hot weather, I tend to complain about it if an ocean or a lake isn't nearby, so if I needed to pick between a long weekend in Dallas or Buffalo then Buffalo is my pick. I'd love to see the Bills stadium, go to Niagara Falls, check out Canalside, the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens, and maybe even the Buffalo Zoo. I just think upstate New York could be really unique and would have more comfortable weather.
