Despite a disappointing start, the D.C. Armor remain in the playoff picture, and thanks to a favorable schedule, are poised to make a run.
Currently, the Armor (2-6) are in fourth place in the AIFA North Division. The top two teams in the North will advance to playoffs, meaning that the Armor must catch the Baltimore Mariners, who currently sits in second place with a record of 4-4.
However, the Armor have three games scheduled against their Maryland rival, and if the Armor can pick up those three games against the Mariners, they will be in excellent position to advance to the playoffs in their first year of existence.
The Armor will probably have to finish the season 5-1, or at a minimum 4-2, to be in the playoff hunt, making Saturday’s game against Reading crucial. If the Armor can upset the fist place Express, D.C. will have a clear path to playoffs. A loss will leave the Armor with zero room for error.
D.C. has played the Express twice this season, falling 51-28 in the season opener in Reading, Pennsylvania, and again in Week 4, as the Express prevailed 39-19 inside the Armory.
The Express (8-2) represent the only opponent with a winning record left on the Armor’s schedule. After Saturday’s bout with Reading, the Armor will have games against Erie (1-7) and Carolina (4-5), along with the three against 4-4 Baltimore.
