Instead of me recapping the scenarios in the blog, I'll do it here.

American Conference

Clinched Playoff Spot: Portland

Almost Clinched a spot: Honolulu, Denver, Memphis

In Pretty Good Shape: Houston

Tight Division Race for 1 spot: Michigan (7-5) and Cleveland (6-6)

So You're Saying There's a Chance: Chicago, Oakland, Arizona, San Jose

National Conference

Clinched Playoff Spot: Baltimore

In Pretty Good Shape: New York, Tampa Bay

Tight Division Race: New Orleans (8-4) Shreveport (7-5)

Current Wildcards: Washington (9-3) New Jersey (8-4)

So You're Saying There's a Chance: Jacksonville, Orlando, Charlotte

In the Midwest division, Michigan swept Cleveland and has a significant schedule advantage down the stretch. Honolulu just needs to win 1 of their last 4 games, or have San Jose lose 1 and they win the Pacific. Memphis will likely win the Southwest while Denver is right on the heels of Portland, and should be a wildcard at least. Chicago is quietly 2 games behind Michigan and Oakland is 2 games behind Houston for the #6 seed. Arizona is a longshot, but they can make things interesting if they win out.

New Orleans and Shreveport are fighting for the South division, with the VooDoo 1 game clear and a victory over the Steamer. They play each other again tonight. Even if Shreveport loses, all is not lost as New Jersey is just 1 game ahead and they have to play Baltimore tonight. The Stars have clinched a spot but Washington can still catch them, especially if the Generals can do them a favor and beat Baltimore. New York is hoping they don't as they look for their 2nd straight East title, and with a 10-2 record, they seem a virtual lock for a playoff spot barring an epic collapse. Tampa Bay has a 3 game division lead on Jacksonville, 3 and 1/2 over Orlando, so they are virtually in barring an epic collapse. Charlotte is 3 games behind New Jersey for the #6 seed.

After Week 13's action 4 more teams clinched spots: Memphis, Tampa Bay, Washington, and New York.

The cream rising to the top in time for playoffs ,good luck everyone

Rumors around the Portland office that persons unknown may be willing to share legitimately acquired questionable scouting reports against Houston.

I'm counting on it...please do

Honolulu has so many injuries at this time and could go 0-3 and miss the playoffs!

The schedule did you no favors either, rough final 3 games
