National Division Championship:
Colorado Spartans (7-3) vs. Omaha Beef (8-1)
It’s going to be hard to top their last matchup as the Beef vs. Spartans game in Denver was a edge of your seat nailbiter where the Beef inched away with a victory to host the playoffs for the National Division. The Beef currently lead the series 2-0 but with the outcome of their recent match 35-34 final expect another epic finish as both teams attempt to punch their ticket to the championship game. 

American Division Championship:
Columbus Lions (5-4) vs. Beaumont Renegades (8-1)

Will NAL history repeat itself or will the Renegades continue to wow the league one more win at a time?
