NASHVEGAS—The Atlanta Smack Daddies, defending NFFA titleholders, and the East Nashville Black Dogs, champions of the Jorge division, will meet in this weekend's championship game after both teams topped 200 points on their way to decisive victories over their opening-round opponents.

Prior to last weekend, there had never been even one team to score 200 points in a playoff game, but the Smack Daddies and Black Dogs stunned The Village Green and the Corsairs respectively, the two teams tied for the best regular season record with 10 wins apiece. The Daddies torched number-one-seeded The Green 204.5-145, while the Dogs mauled the Corsairs 207-168.

In all, four teams scored 200 or more points this season, the most since 2007, when five teams topped 200 a total of seven times. It was the first time in team history that a Smack Daddies team scored 200 points. For the Black Dogs, it was the franchise's seventh time to score 200 or more, which is most in league history. The Fidalgo Island Sea Hogs and 12th Avenue Bakers also hit 200 this season — in a game against one another. The Sea Hogs prevailed 208.5-200, making the Bakers the only team to ever score 200 points and lose.

In all, there have been 18 200-point games in league history. The Alamo Scouts/The Village Green is the only franchise who is not a member of the 200-point club. The West Nashville Beelzebubbas are the only franchise never to have had 200 points scored against them. Here is the complete list of 200-point games:
