Friday, Feb 21 – Maine at Norfolk (7:05 PM EST)

Standings Impact: Norfolk (#9, 59 points, .628) is a strong home team, while Maine (#27, 37 points, .394) struggles near the bottom.

Saturday, Feb 22 – Tahoe at Florida (7:00 PM EST)

Standings Impact: Florida leads the league (#1, 76 points, .760) and is dominant at home. In contrast, the Tahoe Knight Monsters (#13, 62 points) are a mid-table team looking to gain ground.

Key Implication: A competitive game could either reinforce Florida’s supremacy or indicate that Tahoe is closing the gap—a result that could influence playoff seeding and overall momentum for the remainder of the season.


Sunday, Feb 23 – Atlanta at Greenville (3:05 PM EST)

Key Implication: A win for Atlanta might provide the needed push to continue to climb up the ranks, while an upset by Greenville could trigger a turnaround and significantly shake up the south division dynamics as teams vie for every available point.

Standings Impact: Atlanta (#19, 51 points, .490) and Greenville (#20, 46 points, .479) are separated by only a few points, placing both teams in a critical battle to move away from the bottom of the standings.
