Defenders91.900St. Keven Durant Jersey Louis Battlehawks73.700Seattle Sea Dragons63.667Vegas Vipers27.2221. D.C. Defenders (9-1), champions, North:Led by Jordan Ta'amu, the Defenders feel like the clear team to beat throughout the league. Despite a fluky lo s to the Guardians in Week 7 D.C.'s lone defeat and Orlando's only win Abram Smith has spearheaded arguably the best rushing attack in the league. The Defenders have been incredibly well-rounded all season, and they're going to host either the Sea Dragons or the Battlehawks in a bid to represent the North.2. St. Louis Battlehawks (7-3), second place, North:The Battlehawks have had familiar face A.J. McCarron at the helm all season, and they could have punched their ticket in Week 9, but a lo s to the Sea Dragons at least delayed the champagne. The Battlehawks had a few dramatic wins to start the season, and while they scored plenty of points against the Guardians, they might have allowed Andre Roberson Jersey too many for comfort in a close race.3. Seattle Sea Dragons (6-3), third place, North:The Sea Dragons staved off elimination with a crucial 30-12 win over the Battlehawks to put themselves in solid position to make the postseason. With St. Louis' win, Ben DiNucci and Co. have to beat the Vipers preferably by a decent margin to have a chance at pa sing St. Louis. By the end of the weekend, the Battlehawks would need to have scored 19 more points against Orlando than the Sea Dragons put up against Vegas in order for Seattle to mi s the playoffs.Who's out?Vegas Vipers (2-7), fourth place, NorthThe Vegas Vipers are the one team eliminated from the North after failing to establish any momentum this year. At 2-7, they're hoping to play spoiler to the Sea Dragons.MORE:South playoff pictureTeamWLPct.Houston Roughnecks63.667Arlington Renegades45.444San Antonio Brahmas37.300Orlando Guardians18.1111. Houston Roughnecks (6-3), champions, South:The Roughnecks are by no means a Derrick Coleman Jersey pretty 6-3. Brandon Silvers is turnover-prone and vulnerable to mistakes. Their defense, however, is nothing short of ferocious. It leads the XFL with 33 sacks this year, it's tied for second with nine fumbles recovered, and it's outright second with 11 interceptions. The Roughnecks have capitalized on other teams' mistakes, and it has leveraged them into a home game in the South divisional championship.2. Arlington Renegades (4-5), second place, South:The Renegades will finish .500 at best, but they already punched their ticket to the playoffs with the Brahmas' lo s on Saturday. Luis Perez, who saw time in the USFL, has had ups and downs this season.Who's out?San Antonio Brahmas (3-7), third place, South:To even have had a chance to advance, they would have had to beat the D.C. Defenders. That didn't happen as the Brahmas' final drive came up just short against the Defenders in a disappointing 29-28 defeat to end the bid for reaching the playoffs.Orlando Guardians (1-9), fourth place, SouthThe Guardians can always hang their hat on their chaos win over the Defenders, but otherwise the season has been a disaster in Central Florida. At 1-8, they have the worst record in the XFL, and they round ended their season with a lo s to the Battlehawks.MORE:Saturday, April 22Time (ET)MatchupChannel12 p.m.St. Louis Battlehawks 53, Orlando Guardians 28ESPN, 3 p.m.D.C.
