Amateur to Professional Developmental Football League

With the regular season behind us, the APDFL shifts gears into playoff mode. After a strategic league-wide bye, it's win-or-go-home time for teams that battled all season for a shot at glory. The Eastern Conference kicks off its postseason this weekend, while the Western Conference matchups promise fireworks of their own.

Playoff Matchups: Preview & Predictions

Eastern Conference

Clarksville Chiefs (5-1) – Bye Week
The top-seeded Chiefs will sit out the opening round and await the winner of the Columbus Storm vs. Alabama Wardawgs matchup. With extra time to prepare, Clarksville has a golden opportunity to make a deep run.

Columbus Storm (6-2) vs. Alabama Wardawgs (2-5)
Prediction: Storm 28, Wardawgs 12
The Storm come in with momentum and eyes on the prize. The Wardawgs will need to play their best football of the year to pull the upset, but the Storm’s efficient offense should prove too much.

Western Conference

Crescent City Kings (5-1) at Port City Vikings (4-2)
Prediction: Kings 24, Vikings 21
This is the must-watch matchup of the weekend. Two explosive teams collide in what could be a conference championship-level battle. Expect a tight, physical game with the Kings edging it late.

Louisiana Huskies (3-1) at Panama City Panthers (3-4)
Prediction: Huskies 23, Panthers 17
The Huskies have been red-hot and will look to stay disciplined on the road. Panama City is scrappy, but the Huskies’ defense may be the difference-maker.
