A Three-Way Tie at the Top and the Battle for Position in the Final Stretch
The Leaders:
At the top of the division, we have a close race between three teams with identical records. Blue Ballers, Bleue Dry 7.1, and Five Guys have each secured 6 wins and 2 losses across 8 games, accumulating 12 points. Although their win-loss records match, Bleue Dry 7.1 stands out with a notable point differential of +196, leading all teams in points scored with 360. Their impressive offensive performance has them right where they need to be.
Blue Ballers and Five Guys aren’t far behind, boasting point differentials of +171 and +103, respectively. Both teams have demonstrated they are consistent, with Blue Ballers slightly stronger on defence, having allowed only 131 points this season. Five Guys have shown resilience in close games, proving that they can stand toe-to-toe with the best.
Mid-Tier Contenders:
In the middle of the division, Ambush and Dragon Magique sit in the 4th and 5th positions, respectively. Ambush have 9 games played, emerging with a 4-5 record, totaling 8 points with a positive point differential of +117. While their record shows more losses than wins, Ambush have managed to keep most of their games close. If they can tighten up in certain aspects, they can be a dark horse in the playoffs.
Dragon Magique holds a balanced 4-4 record with 8 points, but their point differential of +3 reflects a season of tightly contested games. A team that could go either way in the standings depending on their performance in the next matches.
Struggles at the Bottom:
Unfortunately for Trailer Park Boys and Drawing Dead, the season has been an uphill battle. Trailer Park Boys hold a 2-6 record, with a league-low point total of 95 scored and a staggering -278 differential. Despite their struggles, the team’s main issue is showing up to games!
At the very bottom, Drawing Dead has faced the toughest season with a 1-8 record and a point differential of -312. With 427 points allowed, they’ve faced defensive challenges throughout their 9 games. However, with grit and determination, Drawing Dead can focus on ending the season strong, potentially disrupting higher-ranked teams along the way. Especially with Jeff Rosenblatt playing QB.
