My bold prediction for S2 is that the Philadelphia Liberty will make the playoffs. After the first 8 games, the team is sitting at 3-5 on the season. That has them one game behind the 4-4 Colorado Yeti and Yellowknife Wraiths. However, the Philadelphia Liberty were able to beat both those teams in their first matchup. Looking ahead, the Philadelphia Liberty are going into their bye week, but have a four game road trip after that before finishing their season with two home games. The Philadelphia Liberty will need to win a couple of those road games to make it into the playoffs. With how distinct the home field advantage it is, it will be no easy task for the Liberty. The most important games will be when the Liberty face off at the Colorado Yeti and at the Yellowknife Wraiths. If the Liberty can win both those games, their road game versus the other expansion Las Vegas Legion and both their home games to close out the season, the Liberty would be sitting pretty with a 8-6 record and holding the tiebreaker over both the Yeti and Wraiths. It is the most likely scenario, but it is certainly possible as the Liberty continue to improve as the season rolls on.
