Playoff Picture

It's gotten to a point where the playoff picture is starting to really take shape and every game becomes huge for those trying to get in. While no one has clinched yet you can still see who are locks already based on record, who have the solid chances, who are on the bubble, the long shots, and the no chances.
Just to clarify the 3 division winners make the playoffs followed by 3 wildcards

Locks

Rayz (8-1) - Based on looking at the schedule 8 wins should be a no doubt definite in so the only question now is do they hold onto the division and can they hold onto that number 1 seed. They have a hard stretch coming up soon with 3 straight games against the Panthers, Ochocinco, and division rival U.Gators.

Weiner Dogz (7-2) - This is the one team I'll say already has the division locked up so the Weiner Dogz will either be a 1,2, or 3 seed for sure, I know the Mountaineers only trail by a game but I don't see the Mountaineers winning another game.

Solid Bets

Ochocinco (5-3-1) - Based on his current record I couldn't quite put him in the locks yet but I think he will easily take the Central Division putting him in line for a 3 seed and maybe even a 2 or a 1 seed.

Unbeaten Gators (5-3-1) - Trailing the Rayz by 2.5 games with 5 to go and a one of the games being against the Rayz the division is still up for grabs but regardless I think my U.Gators will have no problem making the playoffs and snagging the 4 seed if I can't make a play for the division.

Bubble

Mountaineers (6-3) - They need to get lucky twice more in 5 games if they want to be a sure lock but I think 7-7 will get you in the playoffs this year I just don't know if this team can win another game their roster not their record is why they are in the Bubble column.

Ducks (5-4) - Out of the three bubble teams I'll say the Ducks have the most talented roster and I think they will find their way back to the playoffs barring any pitfalls you should see this team moving into the solid bets maybe by next week.

Heels (5-4) - After going 3-0 they have dropped 4 of their last 6 and face a big game against the 7-2 W.Dogz a win would really help this team position itself but even with a loss they still have a pretty good shot as their main competition for a playoff spot are the Mountaineers or one of the long shots(like a King or Panther).

Long Shots

Panthers (3-6) - Losing that game to the W.Dogz was a huge blow but if any team has the talent to win out or go 4-1 and get back into the race they do.

Kings (2-6-1) - If they can beat the U.Gators this week a small small small glimmer of hope will be there for a magical run while this team is talented it is a very tall order for them to beat out their other long shot counterpart let alone steal a position from one of the bubble teams but we will see.

No Shots

Carolina Falcons (3-5-1) - A better record than both of the long shots but their team just doesn't measure up as one capable of climbing back into the race.

Purple Cobras (2-7) - Very Dangerous team when it comes to upsets but no way they find a way into the playoffs.

Average Joes (1-8) - They could be mathematically eliminated in a week no chance this team wins another game, the only thing they should win this year is the draft pick lottery.

Here's my Projected playoff bracket as of today
1. U.Gators

2. Ochocinco


3. W.Dogz
6. Panthers

4. Rayz
5. Ducks
