There are still 7 teams with a shot at the playoffs. I will try to break down those possibilities.
Contenders
TT's Constellation Superstars - These guys have clinched the division and most likely the #2 seed. There is a possibility for a 3-way tie between Akron, Logzilla and TT's. In this scenario it would come down to points against, but Akron has allowed 84 fewer points, so TT's has no shot at the #1 seed. The passing game looked really good in their ladder match against Long Island. If you can't slow down their passing assault, you will have no hope of beating them.
Beta Division - This division is an embarrassment. The most likely scenario here is for Morbegno to win the division. They have a 1 game lead and get to face the worst team in the league. Morbegno is only 4-9 though, so there are no guarantees in that game. If Morbegno loses they will be tied with the winner of the Band of Brothers vs System of a Touchdown game. They have split their season series against both teams, so it will come down to points against. System has allowed 275, Band has allowed 353 and Morbegno has allowed 301. Band of Brothers is an extreme longshot here. System has a legitimate shot, but they need to win their game without giving up a ton of points and hope that Morbegno loses.
Akron Dawgs - Akron has clinched a playoff spot. If we beat Logzilla we will clinch the division and the #1 seed. If we lose the game, it might get kind of crazy. Assuming TT's wins their game, we would have a 3-way tie between Akron, Logzilla and TT's. The 3-way ties in this game don't decide the division winner first, then wild card winner after. It's just 1 big tiebreaker. Points against are: Akron 61, TT's 145 and Logzilla 162. If TT's somehow manages to have more points allowed than Logzilla does that make them the wildcard?
Logzilla Boys - Logzilla clinches a playoff spot with a win. They will clinch the division and the #1 seed with a win and a TT loss. They will enter the weird scenario above with a win and a TT win. If they lose and Milwaukee loses they get the wild card. If they lose and Milwaukee wins it will come down to points against. Both team have given up 162 points, so it will just be a matter of who gives up the least amount of points in their final game.
Milwaukee Beers - As explained above, Milwaukee needs a win, a Logzilla loss, and to allow fewer points than Logzilla.
