They're not just making the playoffs - they're positioning themselves for a deep run.

Sitting at 8-8 despite consistently strong performances that deserve better. With 3 unlucky losses where they scored above average but still lost, this team has been on the wrong end of some painful matchups. The underlying fundamentals are solid - the record is misleading.

Strengths

📈 Won 2 of last 3 games
🎯 Highly consistent week-to-week
🏆 Playoff spot virtually locked (>95%)
💎 Multiple losses despite strong scoring - due for wins

Sitting in the middle of the pack with a 9-7 record, but recent performances show this team is figuring things out and trending upward. There's plenty of season left, and if they keep this momentum going, they could make noise down the stretch. The playoff door is still wide open.

Living dangerously with a 11-5 record that's been inflated by 4 lucky wins where they snuck by despite underwhelming scoring. The wins are nice, but this team is winning games they probably shouldn't, and that luck won't last forever. Tougher opponents are coming, and the underlying metrics suggest trouble ahead.

Strengths

🏆 Playoff spot virtually locked (>95%)
🧠 Excellent lineup decisions (91.3%)
