2016 NLL Picks and Power Rankings: Division Finals Week 2

The Bandits didn't have to wait long to discover who their guests would be next Saturday night. While they were involved in a high scoring affair, their next counterparts were on pace to finish well below ten goals, however that changed in the second half given the big run the Rush had went on. The Black Wolves looked more impressive than Calgary, though the Riggers had the better finish to their loss than did New England. Though Game one will be in Buffalo next week, game two the week after will be in Saskatchewan. If the series is tied after that point, they'll both lay it on the line the following week in Buffalo.

Division Finals (Game 2):
1. (1) BUFFALO - Black Wolves made them earn the spot in the finals.
2. (2) SASKATCHEWAN - Must win game two at home - we know Buffalo can win at SaskTel, but Edmonton are historically good in Buffalo.
3. (3) GEORGIA - Have the most potential heading into next season.
4. (6) COLORADO - Not the same team from seasons past.
5. (4) NEW ENGLAND - Worked hard, but it's all for not.
6. (5) CALGARY - A momentary lapse of reason led to their demise.
7. (7) VANCOUVER - With improvement from last they could make a playoff push.
8. (8) TORONTO - Need to do what Calgary did this year and rebound quickly back into playoff picture.
9. (9) ROCHESTER - What does this mean for the Thruway rivalry?
