As a former member (and with a 50% chance of being a future member too) of 2.2 I feel obliged to come up with some playoff predictions.

AC:

Seed #1: Brixton Massive
They will finish with a clean 16-0 record, even though they might not even be the best team in the conference.

#2: 2nd Chronicles 7:14
Probably the best team in the conference and maybe even in the whole league. Dependent on the outcome of their game against the Dillon Panthers (another really strong team) they will either finish 15-1 or 14-2.

#3: Obrobri
A new team which profits from a weak division and an easy schedule, they will finish 12-4.

#4: Brno Fetingers
Same as with #3, but with a slightly stronger schedule. They will finish 9-7.

#5: Chicago Blackhawks
Stronger than the teams at #3 and #4 but they have to live with the misfortune that they are in the same division as 2nd Chronicles. Their final record should be 11-5.

#6: Qwik-6
The third AC East team in this list, they will loose their final two games (against their two division rivals 2nd Chronicles and Blackhawks) and finish 9-7 but they will still make the playoffs, as there is no team which would be (realistically) able to contest their spot. They could loose it to VenoM though, but that is very unlikely.


NC:

#1: Södermanland Samurais
The NC is way more competitive than the AC and accordingly pretty much everybody could fill this #1 spot (for example the likes of Zurich Sharks, Dillon Panthers, Tram Law, Rotterdam Rebels and Southfield Tigers), but the Samurais are currently one win ahead and barring an unexpected loss to the Tigers they should stay at #1 with an 15-1 record.

#2: Tram Law
There are three great teams with an 12-2 record and Tram Law has the easiest remaining schedule among them, so they will finish with a 14-2 record and keep that #2 spot.

#3: Dillon Panthers
They will be lucky and win their next game against 2nd Chronicles (just a feeling) and have a 13-2 record (as well as their division rival and direct competitor for this spot, the Zurich Sharks) before they clash with the aforementioned Sharks in their final game of the regular season.
I have no scientific proof for this whatsoever, but judging by my personal experiences I made in my games against both of them I predict that the Panthers will win this final game and finish with 14-2.

#4: Todmorden Titans
After a great performance in S25 the Titans played quite underwhelming this season, but since they have no competitors in their division (NR Mavericks have the same record but they have a way worse PD) they will still finish as the division winner with a 9-7 record.

#5: Rotterdam Rebels
They are probably not as talented as the Zurich Sharks but they have an easy remaining schedule, securing them a 14-2 record and this spot.

#6: Zurich Sharks
Barring an upset win of the Tigers against the Samurais the Sharks will secure this spot with their 13-3 record.


Playoffs - Wildcard Round:

#6 Qwik-6 vs. #3 Obrobri
Tough call, both teams have pretty much equal chances. I will go with Qwik-6, because they managed to get to the playoffs even though they are stuck in one of the hardest divisions in this league.

#5 Chicago Blackhawks vs. #4 Brno Fetingers
Clear win Blackhawks.

#6 Zurich Sharks vs. #3 Dillon Panthers
And here we go again, one week after their final regular season match these to teams will meet again. I'm still with the Panthers.

#5 Rotterdam Rebels vs. #4 Todmorden Titans
I like the Titans but based on talent on the roster and current performance I have to pick the Rebels.


Divisional Playoffs:

#6 Qwik-6 vs. #1 Brixton Massive
Qwik-6 is a great new team but Brixton is still better. Win Brixton Massive.

#5 Chicago Blackhawks vs. #2 2nd Chronicles 7:14
This is pretty much the same thing that happened last season and the outcome will be the same too, win 2nd Chronicles.

#5 Rotterdam Rebels vs. #1 Södermanland Samurais
The Rebels showed great improvement over the course of the last season too, but the Samurais are still stronger. Win Södermanland.

#3 Dillon Panthers vs. #2 Tram Law
Tram Law is another great new team, but as with the other two, they can't beat the more experienced team either. Win Dillon Panthers.


Conference Championships:

#2 2nd Chronicles 7:14 vs. #1 Brixton Massive
A great game between two very talented teams and even though I wished my old division rival Brixton Massive would be able to pull a win here, I still have to pick 2nd Chronicles.

#3 Dillon Panthers vs. #1 Södermanland Samurais
Now this is what I call a fantastic game! This could go either way, but I still have a lot of respect for the Panthers (I remember an offseason where I played them on several occasions and I lost everytime), so I will pick them. But as said, the Samurais could certainly win this one too!


Bowl:

Dillon Panthers vs. 2nd Chronicles 7:14
This great matchup is certainly worthy of being called "Admirals 2.2 Bowl Game"!
These two teams already faced each other in the second last game of the season and even though the Panthers were able to pull a lucky win back then, 2nd Chronicles will prevail this time. They have been waiting for too long for this possibility to loose this game. Win 2nd Chronicles 7:14.
