I always TIE when I'm outclassed. The point for this game is that according to the offsite matchup predictor, I should win but we are both close in CR (I know that really doesn't matter, just pointing out how "close" we are). I'm weighing winning this one game while sacrificing enthusiasm for my road game against a stronger opponent, vs winning this one and effectively having no shot in the next game.
This is my first season in this league and I've rebuilt my team essentially, so I don't have good data on my team's performance nor my opponents.
