The Las Vegas Ace continued their march into first by defeating the Houston Gamblers on Friday evening. Tampa and Denver both played themselves into potential playoff spots with wins on Saturday.

Sunday saw no major upsets on the day and helped to solidify some of the races for the playoffs. However, other than Boston running away with the East, all the other division leads remain within a game. The road to the playoffs promises to be fun. Speaking of Boston, they remain undefeated with a two touchdown win over Michigan to close out the week of games.
