After fighting, scratching, and clawing all season - The Wranglers find them in playoff contention. Then I look to the schedule and find Detroit there as a must win. Realistically, being in contention in week 16 is about the max this team could achieve.
The Wranglers, Express, and Panthers are all vying for that 6th spot. By my calculations - the Wranglers control their own destiny, but by far have the biggest challenge to overcome. The Express needs help with losses by both the Wranglers and Panthers. The Panthers are the odds on favorite to get that playoff spot.
If all 3 of those teams win, and the Showboats lose - I'm not sure what will happen.
