The end of the season is fast approaching in the DSFL, and the Dallas Birddogs remain in a dead heat with the Norfolk Seawolves for the South conference lead at 5-4-1. The two teams are evenly matched through and through - they even tied their first matchup, a 28-28 thriller in week 3 of the young season. However, the stakes are higher than ever as the playoffs draw near. Even beyond the benefits of seeding, 4-6 Tijuana refuses to go away at third place in the conference, meaning that a slump to end the season could result in a finish outside of the postseason altogether. The Birddogs are coming off a convincing double-digit win over the juggernaut London Royals, and ride a 2-game win streak. Meanwhile, Norfolk righted the ship, snapping a two game losing streak with a convincing road victory. The two contenders will face off in perhaps the biggest game of the season in week 12, in Dallas, with the winner having the inside track to the first seed and the loser fighting for the playoffs.
