Okay, judging from the strength of remaining opponents above:

Can Coast Into the Playoffs:

Cleveland Brownsnakes: Only has to win one game to clinch a spot in the playoffs

New Amsterdam Chronic: The Punch is the only team left on the schedule that is any threat.

Prince Rupert Catsharks: The week 15 game versus the BrownSnakes will be a good barometer on how they will do in the playoffs

Rancho Cucamonga Quakes: They have no one left that should challenge them this season. Expect them to finish 12-4.

Going to have some trouble

Booty Bay Bandits: I can't believe that I am listing them here. Can they save their season? Still has to play the Flyers and Punch. 2 out of 3 will get them in.

Montreal Hawaiian Punch: Their record is solid... for now. They play 3 more playoff hopefuls. Two losses could have them on the outside looking in

Moncton Machine: Should finish 10-6. An upset in their last two weeks could end their hopes.

Flin Flon Flyers: Game versus the Mustangs on week 15 will be the decider here.

Calgary Mustangs: See above

Needing a Miracle:

St. Clair Ice Hawks: They have to win out. Still have games against the Flyers and Mustangs. They should beat the Pioneers.

This weeks playoff bearing matchups:

Halifax Knights (1-12) vs. Rancho Cucamonga Quakes (9-4): A Quakes win basically guarantees the postseason. Shouldn't be too tough to be a gutted team

St. Clair Ice Hawks (7-6) vs. Calgary Mustangs (8-5): St. Clair must win to keep their hopes alive. At 7-7 they would need a miracle to make the postseason

Pennybridge Pioneers (2-11) vs. Prince Rupert Catsharks (10-3): The Sharks will most likely earn a home game after they beat the Pioneers

Booty Bay Bandits (9-4) vs. Flin Flon Flyers (8-5): Can the Bandits stop their slide? Right now, they look like a team struggling to find itself. They must win to have a chance for a home playoff game. Losing wont kill the Flyers but will put them at the bottom of the pack

Cleveland BrownSnakes (11-2) vs. Moncton Machine (8-5): Can the Snakes get back into the win column here? The Machine needs a win to stay in the hunt. A Machine loss puts them on the outside looking in.

New Amsterdam Chronic (10-3) vs. Montreal Hawaiian Punch (9-4): Who wants a home game more? Last test for the Chronic this season.

Quakes, Mustangs, Catsharks, Bandits, BrownSnakes, and Chronic win. Take that to the bank.

^^^ Going with all of the favorites is not the smart bet. A 6 way parlay bet would pay off huge.

6 Montreal Hawaiian Punch 9-5
7 Calgary Mustangs 9-5
8 Moncton Machine 8-6
9 Flin Flon Flyers 8-6
10 St. Clair Ice Hawks 7-7

Punch and Mustangs, win and in.
Machine, Flyers, Hawks... Hawks still play Flyers. Flyers still play Hawks and Mustangs.
