The Kansas City Coyotes are currently sitting in a playoff spot and looking to keep it. London looks near untouchable in the number one spot, but the second NFC slot is available. Kansas City currently occupies it with a 6-4 record, but their most recent loss combined with the wins of both Minnesota and Portland reduced our lead to a meager single game. Obviously, that is not a comfortable lead. So while London fights with Myrtle Beach for the #1 overall seed going into the playoffs, the Coyotes must fight to maintain their standing in the top half of the division to earn a playoff spot, where anything can happen.
Looking ahead at the rest of their season, the Coyotes will square off against the Birddogs, the Royals, the Luchadores, and the Grey Ducks. Combined, those teams have a 20-20 record. If, however, we take away the Royals, the teams fall to 12-18 combined. I like our chances against the birddogs, which should bring us to a 7-4 record and prevent one of Minnesota or Portland from having a chance to tie for second. London, however, is a far more intimidating opponent. It is entirely possible that one of the two formerly mentioned teams could keep their playoff hopes alive with wins in that week. From there, it really feels like a tossup, but we will need at least one more win to punch our ticket to the playoffs. I think we can do it, but sim gonna sim. Go Coyotes!
