Not sure why people think they're a shoe-in for the play offs.
They need to be averaging a fair bit more than 1.5 points per game to have a chance of finishing 6th.
They'd need to win their next 6 games to have 18 points after 12 games to be averaging 1.5ppg. You don't go from losing your first 6, scoring 1 goal, to promotion form just like that.
Mid table at best for me.
