Something something parity something something.
In week 8, every team but two were sitting at a .500 win percentage. Now, at week 10, we have two teams that are 6-4, two teams that are 5-5, and two teams that are 4-5. Interestingly, only two teams have a positive point differential, and even at week 10 we still don't have a clear idea of who is going to make the playoffs and who is not. The DSFL championship is up for grabs, and it'll be exciting to see which team pulls away from the rest (if any do)
1.
The San Antonio Marshals (6-4) ?+2
It would appear that the San Antonio Marshals have turned things around from their somewhat mediocre start. They are the only team that won both week 9 and 10 games, one an away game. Where their offense used to be crippled by penalties and interceptions, they threw zero interceptions and had much less penalties these past two weeks. The rest of the season looks bright, as the Marshals have back to back home games in weeks 11 and 12. If they can win both of those, they will have safely secured their spot in the playoffs, where anything can happen.
They also just added another wide receiver, so look for their offense to have a more effective air attack in the coming weeks.
2.
The Kansas City Coyotes (5-5) ?-1
The Kansas City Coyotes smacked the Luchadores at home 50-16 and then lost a tough road game to the Marshals 16-24. This is a team that consistently does well on the road and performs well, but has been hit the hardest by call ups this year, and they just lost their star kicker Lombardi as well. But they've shown that they struggle to perform well when everyone expects them to (at home). They will likely find their way to the playoffs, being in the same division as the Marshals and the Luchadores.
The Kansas City Coyotes are also one of only two teams (the other being the Marshals) with a positive point differential, and theirs is the largest at 188 points scored and 153 allowed.
3.
The Chicago Blues (6-4) ?-1
They just keep finding a way to win. The Blues can be characterized by close wins but devastating losses, and despite their winning record they have the second worst point differential in the league at -14. They've got a tough two weeks ahead of them, facing the SeaWolves on the road and then hosting the Marshals. They will probably find themselves in the playoffs as the two other teams in their division both sit at 4-6.
4.
The Norfolk SeaWolves (4-6) ?+1
The SeaWolves are doing everything right except winning consistently. They defeated the Blues handily at home 23-6 but then traveled to Tijuana where they lost to the Luchadores. Despite having one of the top offenses (and overall rosters) on paper, they haven't been able to put it all together in a cohesive way. They are battling for a playoff spot, and they'll need to either overtake the Blues and beat out the Pythons in order to secure it.
5.
The Portland Pythons (4-6) ?-1
Just when I thought the Pythons were going to turn things around, they stumble. They lost a very close match at home to a strong Marshals team 7-9 and then lost 27-7 to the Chicago Blues. The Pythons were actually the only team to lose both week 9 and 10 games. The good news is they are still very much in the running for the playoffs, they'll just have to start winning games.
6.
The Tijuana Luchadores (5-5) ?0
Four weeks ago, the Luchadores had the best point differential in the league. Now they have the worst at -20. They're still in contention for the playoffs though (because something something parity), but they have a tough road to get there. The last four weeks they have to play the Marshals twice (once at home and once away), host the Coyotes, and travel to Chicago to take on the Blues. They'll need to win at least three of those if they want to make the playoffs above the Coyotes, whom have the same record as they do.
