Playoff Picture: Several highlights this week as Chicago becomes the first Eastern Conference team to clinch a playoff spot. The Machine have clinched a playoff spot, but have not yet locked up the division or the top seed. Houston has locked into the top seed, thanks to holding the tie breakers over Denver. Southwest Division Champion and #1 seed in the West. Oakland has clinched the Pacific Division title and a win next week will give them a bye as the #2 seed. Nashville, Memphis, and Denver have also clinched playoff spots, with Seattle, LA, and New Orleans still alive for the 6th and final slot in the conference.
There are 5 remaining spots in the Eastern Conference playoffs, and all three division titles are still to be decided. Chicago, Tampa Bay and Baltimore all control their own destinies for the division titles, however, Boston, Ohio, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Washington, Jacksonville, and Michigan all have viable paths to the playoffs, though only 5 spots exist for these 9 teams to battle over.
