1. Cochabamba Pirates - 16-0. The best team in the league will play four straight playoff teams to close the season, but should run the table, with Phoenix and the Red Wolves having the best shot to take them down, but I'm still picking the Pirates to win those games.

2. Rhode Island Red Wolves - 13-3. A rough start doesn't look to hurt the Red Wolves in the end, having only a test vs. the Pirates and another potential loss vs. Flathead remaining. Holds several key tiebreakers.

3. Phoenix Rising - 12-4. Phoenix appears to have boosted early, either way, they are peaking at the right time. The game vs. the Pirates won't matter more than on paper as the Red Wolves hold the tiebreaker for the #2 seed.

4. Indianapolis Thunderhawks - 12-4. Very solid team but I'm picking Orlando to steal the upset vs. them next week. After that, it's 3 cupcakes in a row into the playoffs.

5. Liberty City Cocks - 12-4. Will easily close the season with four straight wins.

6. New York Hawks - 10-6. Solid wins vs. good teams this season, stayed within 24 of the Pirates, but a loss to Flathead hurts them. Will likely go 2-2 down the stretch with losses to RIRW and Cochabamba.

7. Orlando Outlaws - 10-6. Beat the snot out of Rhode Island early and will look to get another shot at them in the playoffs in R1. Predicting losses to Cochabama and Flathead.

8. Orlando Pirates - 10-6. Always hanging around, just like they did when they were in PRO. Should beat two of three playoff teams down the stretch to make the playoffs and the last seed.

OUTSIDE LOOKING IN

Flathead Just Go Krazy - 9-7. Flathead really has one shot of making the playoffs - running the table including beating the Red Wolves in Week 16. That will make them 10-6 and knocking the Outlaws out.

Ohio Valley Vultures - 8-8. The Vultures are truly the best of the rest. They will likely beat every non-playoff team, but their inability to take down any of the likely playoff teams will prove to be their undoing.

Best remaining games:

Week 13:

Indianapolis vs. Orlando

Week 14:

Cochabamba vs. Rhode Island

Week 15:

Cochabamba at Phoenix

Week 16:

Rhode Island at Flathead Just Go Krazy
New York vs. Ohio Valley

Everyone here is a slow build team. At least most of the top teams are.

Yikes, you guys are going to be scary come playoff time. As of this point, I'd have to say that our matchup in the second round is advantage Rising.

Thanks N8.

Nice write-up, but is the 16-0 prediction a sneaky attempt to put the pressure on Cochabamba in our difficult home stretch?

Well you guys losing the #1 seed is a remote possibility. You'd probably have to go 1-3 for the tiebreakers to even come into play.

I REALLY wish I got you 1 game later, then my guys would be at level 16 and had a nice EQ boost. As of this point, I really don't think I can win that game.

Excellent write up, cwrujosh. Thanks for putting in the effort. I'm really concerned with our final run. Hopefully we can at least take 2 of 4 and keep the homefield advantage. . .then we get to see how these drunken rum runners handle the playoff pressure!

GL to everyone.

About the worst case scenario for you is to lose to all of Red Wolves, Rising and Pirates. That would mean we beat you and we would take the #1 seed. That is the ONLY scenario where I see you losing it. You can lose to both Rising and the Pirates and keep the #1 seed as long as you beat me.

I'd say Rockpile deserves that distinction. We're probably on par with 2 or 3 teams in the second tier. I've been on several teams that dominated during the regular season, then got eliminated early in the playoffs. I'm just hoping that doesn't happen here.

Sorry, I meant conference. I actually don't know, I don't follow the West. So apologies to anyone from the West offended, it was unintentional.

I'm not sure it really matters, as we are all in some stage of rebuilding.
