After a 10-week regular season, the PLL has solidified its seven-team playoff bracket, with the No. 1 seed getting a bye.

The first round will start in Boston, then Washington D.C., with the championship game in Philidelphia.

The Whipsnakes have locked up the No. 1 seed and will advance straight to the semifinals. The quarterfinals will consist of No. 2 Chrome vs. No. 7 Chaos, No. 3 Archers vs. No. 6 Redwoods, and No. 4 Atlas vs. No. 5 Waterdogs.

The Chaos are undoubtedly the underdogs against the No. 2 team in the league. However, the reigning champions should never be counted out.

Having one of the hottest offenses in the league, No. 3 Archers will be a challenge for the No. 6 Redwoods, but can Rob Pannell’s momentum carry them past the Archers?

Looking to avenge a Week Eight overtime loss, No. 4 Atlas takes on No. 5 Waterdogs. Coming off a two-game losing streak, the Waterdogs are looking to regain their midseason momentum.

After going 1-9, Cannons LC was the only team not to make the playoffs. Even with Lyle Thompson leading the league in points and one-point goals, his MVP-caliber season was not enough to get the second-year team into the postseason.
