Ok, let me try to figure this out again.
Seattle will win their game, finishing 11-3. Colorado will win, finishing 10-3-1, Band will win, finishing 10-4. Those three games aren't really worth questioning. NY/Niger is an actual game. If NY wins, they've got 11-3, but DO have the tiebreaker over Seattle (head to head win), so NY/Colorado would be the 1vs4 game, Seattle-Band in 2 vs 3.
If NY loses, they finish 10-4 (behind Colorado in the division). If Richmond wins their game, they are also 10-4, however with a head to head win over NY on Feb 15, they make the playoffs, NY stays home (1 Seattle, 2 Colorado, 3 Band, 4 Richmond). If NY and Richmond both lose, NY finish 10-4, Richmond finishes 9-5, NY makes the playoffs (1 Seattle, 2 Colorado, 3 Band, 4 NY). So yeah, that prediction from me a post ago was with a NY loss that I didn't mean to predict.
And if Colorado somehow lose, everything gets all kinds of crazy, with Niger or the Sharks having an outside chance of stealing the 4 seed.
