Having the North Division title wrapped up has significant advantages for the Kitsap County Bears, especially if rumors of their preparations for this week's games are true.
The Bears plan to rest many of their starters in for their game against South King County thanks to having a two-game lead over the Colts and Clark County Vipers. The Bears are guaranteed homefield advantage through the North Division playoffs.
South King needs a win to wrap up a home game in the first round.
If Yakima wins as expected at Clark County Saturday, the Bears will play host to the Vipers in the first round, while Yakima is at South King.
And with the Vipers late-season swoon, Kitsap might be able to rest many starters then, too.
The Bears got their two-game edge with a 24-17 win over Yakima, June 26. South King beat Clark County 66-6 as 10 different players scored.
The Portland Monarchs have the South Division wrapped up, so they'll likely offer plenty of playing time to players hungry for it in their game with the Portland Raiders.
The Springfield Buzzards need a win at the Oregon Outlaws to advance to the playoffs, so they'll have their top line-up available.
The league playoffs begin July 16.
