2. Tennessee
3. Oakland
4. Kansas City
5. New England
6. Buffalo

2. New Orleans
3. Chicago
4. LA Rams
5. Minnesota
6. Tampa Bay

Wild Card Round

#6 Buffalo at #3 Oakland 220.35 - 154.75 (The outcome was expected. Oakland had more guns. Bills go into offseason searching for a QB)
#5 New England at #4 Kansas City 218.85 - 209.10 (Exciting game that Pats take by being more balanced. Chiefs with a dud from their defense)

#6 Tampa Bay at #3 Chicago 219.25 - 179.63 (Bears WR's almost all scored in double digits. Bucs with a nice defensive showing but not enough O to keep up)
#5 Minnesota at #4 LA Rams 142.45 - 120.4 (Rams nowhere near full strength and almost pulled it out. This is why depth is so important and the Vikes had more of it)

Divisional Round

#5 New England at #1 Houston 293.08 - 244.65 (Texans get 166 pts on offense and 42 pts from JJ Watt for the win... but they also lose Jalen Hurts to a shoulder injury)
#3 Oakland at #2 Tennessee 294.65 - 245.1 (Titans offense actually got outscored but their defense with an epic 150 pt performance which doubled the Raiders D)

#5 Minnesota at #1 Philadelphia 244.7 - 212.5 (Eagles score 19 more on offense even without a QB)
#3 Chicago at #2 New Orleans 263.6 - 248.7 (Bears outscore their projection by a whopping 90 pts to take the win. It underscores the importance of depth)

Conference Championships

#2 Tennessee at #1 Houston 247.1 - 228.65 (Titans only got 3.8 points out of their 3 starting WR's as Texans hang on once again without a starting QB)

#3 Chicago at #1 Philadelphia 274.6 - 212.7 (I guess starting QB's are overrated. Huge days out of Hockenson and DeVonta Smith more than made up for no QB)

QFL Bowl VI

#1 Houston at #1 Philadelphia (This was a close game. Due to the scary situation with Damar Hamlin and the MNF game's postponement both owners agreed to chop the pot and become co-champs)

Vegas spreads for Wild Card round

Buffalo (+35) at Oakland - Bills get unlucky with byes. No Jonathan Taylor or Taysom Hill. Raiders nearly at full strength.
New England (+9.5) at Kansas City - Both teams are manage to skirt the byes for the most part. KC's offense is a powerhouse. Pats have to hope their D closes the gap.

Tampa Bay (+17) at Chicago - This spread could move if the Bucs find a starting QB in time for the game.
Minnesota (-2.5) at LA Rams - Rotten luck with byes could sink the Rams missing M.Ingram, A.Jones, A.Lazard and Alie-Cox among others. Vikes lose Scary Terry but their WR's are deep.

Houston and Philadelphia were in a tight game for the QFL Championship. Due to the way the MNF game was postponed I would like to applaud these two owners for agreeing to chop the pot.

If the postponed game is played later this week, then the winner of the HOU-PHI matchup will be named league champ. If not, then we will be reflecting these two teams as co-champions.

Disappointing way to end a season that's for sure. Really enjoyed QFL once again and Eagles are looking forward to 2023. Thanks to all involved.
