The Seattle Sea Dragons (5-3) have had the misfortune of geography placing them in a division that is more stacked than the alternative. If they lose to the St. Louis Battlehawks (6-2) on Sunday afternoon then they are out of postseason contention with a game to go. Even if they win, it could come down to a tiebreaker on the last week of the season so Seattle needs help to get in after they lost to the DC Defenders last Sunday.
If the Sea Dragons played in the south division, 5-3 would be prime position for a playoff berth, but they’re in the north and the teams above them in the standings are 7-1 and 6-2.
