(S22) - PT4 - Road to Glory

[hotdog]

I haven't paid attention to the NSFL much this season beyond the standings, which does give me some insight as to which teams are generally good and which are generally bad, though with playoffs comes matchups, nuance, and full-roster analysis. I won't have that, but I will walk through my predictions based on the standings. The top teams seem to be the same teams as last season when I first joined the league around this time - the Otters, the Second Line, the Yeti, and the Wraiths. The Wraiths led the way in the NSFC at 11-2, with Orange County topping the ASFC at 10-3. I've put these two teams into the finals in my predictions; as a new user who doesn't know much about the teams, it's probably better to play it safe and go with what seems to be the most probabilistically likely outcome of the top team in each conference making it out. The NSFC's depth is interesting to see, with the 6-7 Sailfish grabbing the 2nd wild card spot. I assume the Yeti will have no trouble dismantling expansion Sarasota in that first game. The ASFC will be tougher - you've got New Orleans, the defending champion and a team many have been picking to win it all, and Austin, who started the season terribly (I seem to recall) and (must have) picked it up big time since the midway point. This'll be a tough battle.
