DOGS, HOGS CLINCH DIVISION TITLES

DOGS, HOGS CLINCH DIVISION TITLES
'Bubbas, Mojo, lead wild-card chase

By R.E. Porter, Associated Web Press

With their victories in week 12, East Nashville (10-2) and Fidalgo Island (10-2) became champs of their respective divisions. For both the Black Dogs and Sea Hogs, it is their third consecutive division title.

Meanwhile, wins by West Nashville (7-5) and Midtown (7-5) gave those two franchises the inside track for the two wild-card berths in the championship round of the NFFA playoffs. But Cambridge (6-6) is still alive, barely.

Here is a breakdown of what is at stake this weekend:

• No team has ever finished the regular season with only two losses. The Dogs and Hogs each have that goal still in their sights.

• The Beelzebubbas face the lowly 12th Avenue Bakers this weekend. The Mojo and Animals are not so fortunate. The Mojo travel to Fidalgo Island, while the Animals host the Black Dogs. If the favored teams win those three match-ups, the 'Bubbas would clinch a wild-card spot.
