As for the overall landscape, I think there are 4 or 5 teams that have a chance to promote, but smart money is on Rocket Science. He has played the top teams very tough all year and only lost a couple upset matches. One of those was to the Clogs who are a strong dark horse candidate. They have some quality wins on the books against the same teams they will have to go through to promote. New Bedford and Deronimo are no pushovers themselves, with Cal Bulldogs and Tetrahydro having a puncher's chance, imo. The rest of the field will have to wait for next year (or several seasons later in some cases like myself).
It's funny. I'm 2-0 against Rocket Science but both were home wins, one took OT, and they held my squad under 12 points in three of the eight quarters of those two games. They're giving up the fewest PPG and not doing with with exclusively slow offenses, nor are they stuck running only a single type of offense.
New Bedford's still probably the favorite on our side, certainly as opposed to my team. I managed to win the home game again this season, but it took OT also (16-1 OT margin is weird), and I think had I not had an injury in the first game that week and been playing my usual training lineup, that would have been a win for them.
