With the National Lacrosse League playoffs starting in two months (April 24th), now is a good time to take a look at the teams that have separated themselves from the pack and on track to win it all.
The playoffs will feature the top eight teams in the standings (14 total teams in the NLL), with the first round being single elimination, while the Conference Finals and Championship round are each best-of-three.
Before looking at the outright odds to win the NLL championship, here are the current standings, along with each respective teams' record:
NLL Standings - Feb. 24
Saskatchewan Rush (10-1)
Colorado Mammoth (8-3)
Vancouver Warriors (7-3)
Georgia Swarm (7-3)
Toronto Rock (6-4)
San Diego Seals (6-4)

Rochester Knighthawks (4-5)
Buffalo Bandits (4-6)
Halifax Thunderbirds (3-7)

Saskatchewan has been on fire, they've won nine in a row and are led by Ryan Keenan and Robert Church who are both top-ten in the league in points.
Colorado, Vancouver, and Georgia have done a nice job putting themselves in a comfortable position to qualify for the volatile playoffs.
Toronto, San Diego, Ottawa, Las Vegas, Rochester, and Buffalo will deke it out for the final spots as a couple of those teams will miss out on the postseason.
