Playoff and Predictions Update, 5 Weeks Left

Left Division
It certainly looks like three teams will go to the playoffs from this division. The Drow-Beaver game this week will really set the tone for the end of the season. Another key will be Mimes' game against Ramjets in week 11 because its easily the toughest out-of-division game for any of the top three teams. Then Mimes' end with both the Beavers and Drow in weeks 13 and 14.

Prediction:

• Drow finish 11-3 and win division by beating either Beavers this week or Mimes in week 14
• Beavers finish 10-4 and gain the first wild card slot again assuming they split their remaining games against Drow and Mimes
• Mimes finish 9-5 assuming they lose two of their remaining three tough games
• Brawlers finish 1-13. They already can not win the division and can be eliminated from the playoffs as early as this weekend
  

Middle Division
This is a complete crap-shoot. I think Old No. 7 has a slightly easier schedule then any one else with a shot at all their remaining games while Malleus looks like they have the toughest remaining opponents with two games (Ramjets and Mimes) they should not win. But in the end I think the fact that Bill has 1-2 games up on everyone else still will make the most difference.

Predition:

• Bill finishes 8-6 and wins division
• Malleus finishes 7-7 and loses out to Ramjets for last wild card spot
• Buffalo finishes 5-9
• Old No. 7 finishes 5-9

Right Division
Capo have emerged as the lead dog in this pack and I think it is real unlikely now that Ramjets can overtake them. And I give Flannel little shot to stay in the race.

Prediction:

• Capo finishes 10-4 if they can defeat Old No. 7 this week
• Ramjets finish 7-7 if they can split their two hardest games against Mimes and Capo in weeks 11 and 12, assuming they beat Malleus this week they would gain the last wild card slot in the tie-breaker
• Flannel finish 6-8 picking up their last win over either Buffalo or Hamburglers
• Hamburglers finish 4-10 and host the Toilet Bowl picking up their last win over either Bill or Flannel

Playoffs
With Ramjets no-longer at home, their road gets harder but I'm still predicting an original franchise smack down and the first all Left Division FLOF Bowl.

• Ramjets crush Bill in the wild card round
• Beavers barely beat Mimes thanks to home field in the other wild card game

• Drow edge Ramjets thanks to home field
• Beavers upset Capo

• Drow edge Beavers in FLOF Bowl. This last prediction is completely 50/50. Player availability will be key especially in the backfield. Drow are vulnerable to the 4-4 Packers missing the playoffs and Beavers will have to keep an eye on the Vikings in that same division and the Eagles who look OK now but play in a very tough division.
