Games, from most competitive to least competitive:

New Orleans vs. LilWeezyAna
Anything could happen in this one as two middle of the pack playoff teams face off trying to improve their seed. If LilWeezyAna wins, they will get a home game. They still have a shot of getting a home game with a loss. New Orleans will get the #5 seed regardless.

EZ vs. Milwaukee
This will be the best game to watch and may even be the playoff finals. Milwaukee put up a good fight against Naperville but couldn't hang on to their lead. EZ has had one slipup all season. EZ and Milwaukee both have their seeds locked up, as the #2 and #4 seed. I give a slight edge to EZ here, but Milwaukee might pull the upset. Milwaukee will face New Orleans the first round in the playoffs.

Minnesota vs. New York Launch
Minnesota has dropped 3 games this season by 1 point, and played EZ within 5. The Launch started the season slow, but have played very well lately, including a big win over St. Louis. The Launch clinch a playoff spot with a win, and can still get in with a loss if Martha's Vineyard loses. Minnesota will get the 3 seed with a win, but could slip a few spots with a loss.

Martha's Vineyard vs. San Francisco
The Gold Rush never seem to be in a close game. They either destroy their opponents or lose by a larger margin. In fact, they have only been in one game decided by one score or less. Martha's Vineyard has a playoff spot on the line and need a win here and a Launch loss to make the playoffs. San Francisco is safely in, and can get a home game with a win.


I don't want to get into too many scenarios because the tiebreakers are a pain to deal with. I'm only going to use the 3 games above that have results on the line to show all scenarios to show the seeds. Of course, I may be missing a few things if some bigger upsets happen.


West-
#1 - Fresno (clinched)
#2 - EZ (clinched)
#3 - Minnesota with a win, or a loss, a SFO loss, and a LilWeezyAna loss
- LilWeezyAna with a win and Minnesota Loss
- San Francisco with a win, LilWeezy loss, and Minnesota loss
#4 - Minnesota with a loss, LIL loss and SFO win or LIL win and SFO loss
- SFO with a loss, MIN loss, and LIL loss OR a win, MIN loss, and LIL win
- LIL with a win and Minnesota win, OR a loss, MIN win, and SFO loss
#5 - COL with a MIN loss, LIL loss, OR MIN loss, LIL win, SFO win
- SFO with MIN win and LIL win, OR a loss and either LIL loss and MIN win or MIN loss and LIL win
- LIL with MIN win, LIL loss, and SFO win
#6 - COL with MIN win or MIN loss and LIL win and SFO loss
- LIL with MIN loss and LIL loss
- MIN with MIN loss, LIL win, SFO win
#7 - likely Tijuana
#8 - likely SNK

Currently Minnesota holds a 3 point tiebreak over SFO, so those two could switch in tie situations if SFO scores more than 3 points more than MIN

East-
#1 - Columbus (clinched)
#2 - Naperville (clinched)
#3 - Indianapolis (clinched)
#4 - Milwaukee (clinched)
#5 - New Orleans with a win, or loss by Sin City
- Sin City with a win and NOP loss
#6 - New Orleans with a loss and Sin City Win
- Sin City with a loss or NOP win
#7 - St. Louis
#8 - NYL with a win or MAR loss
- MAR with a win AND NYL loss

They lose the tiebreaker to the NYL since NYL beat both teams.

Yeah, I don't know why people keep forgetting that. Long story short ..

NYL - In with a win. Also, in with a loss and losses by Maine and Martha's.

Martha's - Needs to win and have New York and Maine lose.

Maine - Needs a win and have New York and Martha's lose.

Ties are basically losses, for the sake of argument.

Actually, Maine doesn't factor into this at all since you beat them both.

Maine cannot get in.

"Maine - Needs a win and have New York and Martha's lose."

This could very well happen. Maine WILL win. I'm predicting the Launch to win to end this whole mess. They could very well lose. I think we can upset the Gold Rush but I'm not making any predictions on that one.

By the way, The Maine Hawks beat The New York Launch 21-20 earlier in the season. Maine still has a chance.

Gold Rush are definitely not overlooking Martha's. This should be a very good game. Good Luck Martha's.

Just to clarify, the Gold Rush have had a couple of close wins to 2 playoff teams. Gold Rush beat the Tijuana Gutter Bass 24-20 and the SNK Crushers 38-34. We were also in a close game against The Bronx Bears, but I prefer not to look at that game considering it should have never been as close as it was (OT win by a FG).

We lost to Maine. This is the third time I've seen this mentioned and I have to wonder if there is an alternate GLB universe I am not aware of.

Tom is just not willing to entertain the fact that Maine can win a meaningful game... not that I blame him.

Fresno goes down? WTF?

I was also surprised how easily EZ dominated Milwaukee.

I am not looking forward to playing them again.
