The Boca Chica Daddies and the Village Green have locked down two of the spots in the 2022 NFFA championship playoffs, although it’s not yet clear which of them will be the Linardo division champ and number one seed, and which will be a wild card team.

In the Jorge division, the London Bakers are in the driver’s seat in their battle with the East Nashville Black Dogs for the division title.

As for the other wild card berth, the Ballers have the inside track, while the West Nashville Beelzebubbas, Midtown Browns and Cambridge Animals all have been eliminated. The 3-11 Animals have clinched the first overall pick in the 2023 draft.

Here’s an overview of the division races and the playoff scenarios:

The Daddies (10-4) control their own destiny. If they defeat the Browns this weekend, they clinch the Linardo crown and the number one overall seed. If they lose and the Green (9-5) beat the Ballers, both teams will have identical 10-5 records, and the Green will win the division on the first tiebreaker, head-to-head record, as they swept the Daddies during the regular season. If the Green win the division, the Daddies will grab the first wild card spot and the number three seed.

Like the Daddies, the Bakers (7-7) control their own destiny. If they beat the Animals, they will clinch their second consecutive Jorge title and the number two seed.  According to rumors on the dark web, a Bakers win will trigger the End Times. If the Bakers lose to the Animals and the Black Dogs (7-7) knock off the Beelzebubbas, the Black Dogs will win the Jorge division and second seed, and the Bakers will be eliminated from playoff contention.

As far as the final wild card berth goes, the Ballers (8-6) also control their own destiny. If they defeat the Green, they will clinch the final wild card spot and number three seed after sweeping the Green. The Green would drop to the four seed. Even with a loss to the Green, the Ballers will still clinch the final spot if either the Bakers or Black Dogs lose. But if the Ballers lose and both the Bakers and Black Dogs win, the Black Dogs will clinch the final wild card berth by virtue of sweeping the Ballers in the regular season and the Ballers will be eliminated.
