============================= Alpha Division =============================
Tampa Piranhas - (6-1) Early Prediction: 11-3
Tampa currently holds a 2 game lead in their division with arguably the toughest schedule left consisting of (Alpine, Ministry, Gangsters, DeepRoute). They should still clinch their division but I still see them dropping 2 of those games and finishing off exactly where I predicted them to finish.
Final Prediction: 11-3 Winning Division and #2 Seed
-----------------------------------------------------------------
DeepRoute Allstars - (4-3) Early Prediction: 10-4
The best chance DeepRoute has in making the playoffs will be by wildcard. This will need to be by a little luck as they are sitting a game back of Ministry for that spot. Notable games remaining with (Gangsters, Foreclosures, Piranhas). I see DeepRoute dropping all 3 of those games to close the season out missing the playoffs.
Final Prediction: 7-7
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Helmand Provincial Pathan Pansies - (3-4) Early Prediction: 8-6
Helmand have struggled as of late and looking at their remaining schedule things are not going to get much better. With (Detroit, Alpine, Ministry, Tampa and DeepRoute) some of the teams left to play they are going to struggle to win. Helmand will need to pull some major luck out of the hat to have any chance to compete for wildcard, but I find it highly unlikely.
Final Prediction: 5-9
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Sacramento B-Squad - (2-5) Early Prediction: 1-13
Though my theory was all wrong on why they wouldn't perform well this season, the prediction wasn't entirely off. Sacramento just hasn't gotten it together and it looks is if they won't change. Expect them to drop 6 more games.
Final Prediction: 3-11
============================= Beta Division =============================
Alpine - (7-0) Early Prediction: 11-3
Alpine has lived up to every expectation that was placed on them and more. They are still the favorites to win their Division and the League. Notable games remaining are (Gangsters, Tampa, Ministry and Detroit). There is a outside chance they will drop 1 of those games and highly unlikely they will drop 2. I would expect Alpine to sail through as the #1 seed for the playoffs.
Final Prediction: 13-1 Winning Division and #1 Seed
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ministry of Dotball - (5-2) Early Prediction: 10-4
Ministry as expected struggled in the first part of the season but have regained some form and are poised to make a run for the wildcard spot with Alpine pretty much securing the division up already. Notable games left are (Tampa, Alpine and Detroit). I would suspect that Ministry will drop 2 more games to finish the season exactly as they were predicted to finish. Their last game against Detroit will determine the wild card spot and for a second year in a row Ministry will keep Detroit from getting into the playoffs.
Final Prediction: 10-4 Winning Wild Card #4 Seed
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Detroit Foreclosures - (4-3) Early Prediction: 8-6
Detroit have played well this season and are in prime position like Ministry to clinch the wild card spot. With (DeepRoute, Alpine and Ministry) remaining Detroit will stage another final game showdown with Ministry to determine who gets into the playoffs but will fall short yet again and miss the playoffs.
Final Prediction: 9-5
-----------------------------------------------------------------
South 'Cooley-High' Rangers - (3-4) Early Prediction: 1-13
I was entirely wrong with this prediction on the severity of losses but not wrong in that they will end up last in the division. The Rangers have a good shot of winning 3 more games but I don't see more than that.
Final Prediction: 6-8
============================= Gamma Division =============================
New York Gangsters - (5-2) Early Prediction: 10-4
New York has their Division so wrapped up the rest of the season is on cruise control because none of the remaining teams show any signs of fighting for the top spot. With (Alpine, DeepRoute and Tampa) remaining I would expect they would drop 2 of those to finish the season exactly as predicted and making into the playoffs.
Final Prediction: 10-4 Winning Division and #3 Seed
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Texas Toast - (2-5) Early Prediction: 7-7
More was expected from Texas than what they have shown. I can see them easily winning 2 more games and having an outside shot of winning 3. I will give them the benefit of doubt and see them surprising a team to get 3 more wins.
Final Prediction: 5-9
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Canton Bulldogs - (1-6) Early Prediction: 0-14
Like Sacramento I had this one pegged as true to be a bottom of the division team but I didn't quite think there would be another team fighting them for that spot in Gamma. Canton has only 3 possible games they can win and of those I see only 1 win.
Final Prediction: 2-12
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Rhode Island Aftershocks - (0-7) Early Prediction: 7-7
Given the fact that this was a new team this is by far the biggest failure prediction that I had. Not much more to say than I see them going a big fat O'fer for the rest of the season.
Final Prediction: 0-14
Tampa Piranhas - (6-1) Early Prediction: 11-3
Tampa currently holds a 2 game lead in their division with arguably the toughest schedule left consisting of (Alpine, Ministry, Gangsters, DeepRoute). They should still clinch their division but I still see them dropping 2 of those games and finishing off exactly where I predicted them to finish.
