Alpha is pretty clear: the London Mighty Milk Men and the Lagos Dirty Water will be fighting for the 8th and final playoff spot.
My prediction: Each team seems likely to finish 7-9 which means it will come down to their head-to-head game, which London has already won. I predict that the Mighty Milk Men finish with the 8th seed, and the Lagos Dirty Water are the first team out.

There are 4 teams fighting for 2 spots: Bergen Berserk at 6-5, and Warsaw Warlords, GT Avalanche, and GulfCoast Gators all at 5-6.
My prediction: I'm actually going to predict that Bergen doesn't make it - they have the best record of the bubble teams so far, but have several sure losses and not an easy game left on the schedule. I think the GulfCoast Gators are safely in. 3 of their remaining 5 games are blowout wins, and only the game against Lisbon is a guaranteed loss. I see Warsaw and GT fighting for the 8th spot, and I've got to give the edge to Warsaw as far as their closing schedule. Still, the more important point is that Warsaw and GT play NEXT WEEK and that game will be huge in determining whether each team makes the playoffs.
------------------------
Keep an eye on all these teams over the next few weeks!
