ONE WEEK LEFT..........

Last Week of the Regular Season!  One playoff spot is still up for grabs!  1st & 6th Seeds are still up for grabs!  Regular Season Champ is still up for grabs!  I don't know about you guys, but I am pumped for this last week!  For the first time in the League's "Divisions" history, the Bud Light Division could be the first division with all 5 of its teams in the playoffs!  But it is looking very unlikely mathmatecially.  Below is a break down of all of the games & their playoff implications.

There are currently 4 teams fighting for the 6th & final playoff spot.  In the Miller Lite Division we have 3 teams fighting for the last playoff spot.  Bulldogs, RodnRoln, & Cowtown Rodeo Queen are all 5-7, while Fist Pumpers are currently 7-5 & have locked up the #2 seed.  The Bulldogs are taking on RodnRoln, & CowTown Rodeo Queen are taking on the last place team Just Bring it.  In the Bud Light Division, the last place team 2011 Ravens are also 5-7 & still in the hunt for the last playoff spot, while the other 4 teams have already guaranteed their spot in the postseason.  The 3 Miller Lite Teams are probably all hoping their first place team Fist Pumpers ends the season on a high note & eliminates the 2011 Ravens for them.  The Bulldogs have the slight advantage due to their "total points for" of 1,390.25, RodnRoln are not far behind with 1,337.50 followed by the 2011 Ravens with 1,222 & CowTown Rodeo Queen with 1,213.25.  Fist Pumpers & Just Bring It are playing the role of playoff spot spoilers.  If Fist Pumpers beat 2011 Ravens, then the 2011 Ravens are out.  If Just Bring It beats CowTown Rodeo Queen, then they will have knocked CowTown Rodeo Queen out of playoff hopes as well.

While those 4 teams are battling it out for the final playoff spot, there is still a huge battle going on for 4 of the other 6 playoff seeds (#1, #3, #4, & #5).  As of right now there are 3 teams in the Bud Light Division sitting at 8-4 & battling for the #1 seed, a first round bye, & Regular Season Championship while Pineapple Express is at 7-5 & playing for a possible #3 seed & spoiler to Prestige Worldwide.  Currently Jersey Wahoos has the edge over Prestige Worldwide & Team Premier.  Jersey Wahoos have a "total points for" of 1,525 (highest in the league), Prestige Worldwide is next with 1,408.50, followed by Team Premier with 1,335.50, while Pineapple Express is sitting at 1,437.  If Jersey Wahoos beat Team Premier, then they will lock up the #1 seed & Regular Season Championship.  If Team Premier wins, then they will need Pineapple Express to beat Prestige Worldwide to lock up the #1 seed & Regular Season Championship.  Prestige Worldwide needs to win & will need Team Premier to win but not outscore them by 74 points or more to lock up the #1 seed & Regular Season Championship.  If Pineapple Express wins, they have a very good chance of getting the #3 seed due to their "total points for" compared to whoever loses between Jersey Wahoos, Prestige Worldwide, & Team Premier.

As Michael Buffer would say, "For all of you fans sitting here in the Arena, & the Millions watching all over the world.........LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!"
