Okay, you win 3 of 4 from Boston and 2 of 3 from Indy and win 4 of 6 from Milwaukee and Atlanta. That is 87 wins on the season. That is going 9-4 to close out the year, which is a pretty tall order, but not impossible.

But even if that record would assure you of the title, it would be no piece of cake. Wining 5 of 7 from the two teams ahead of you a piece of cake? But even if you do accomplish your goals, in order for you to win, BOTH Boston and Indianapolis must lose more games than they win the rest of the way (plus neither Vancouver or New York can go on a big winning streak but that seems like the lesser worry). And one of the Titans or Indians is guaranteed of winning at least two from the other. And that is just to get to a tie and a playoff....

If Boston takes 2 of 3 from Indy (and loses 3 of 4 to you), then they must not do better than split their remaining games and Indy must not do better than 4-3.
If Indy takes 2 of 3 from Boston (and loses 2 of 3 to you), they still have 7 other games (he does not show one of their remaining games) and they MUST lose at least 4 of them in order for you to tie them and Boston cannot go better than 4-2 in their other games.

And this is all assuming you do mange to beat them 5 of 7....

If either Boston or Indy sweeps the other, then the Raccoons are in even deeper doo doo...

Yeah, Piece of Cake, Baby!!
