After beating the Seattle Sounders at home on Sunday night, the Colorado Rapids should be feeling pretty good about themselves. And if the Burgundy Boys beat or tie the Timbers tonight OR if the Sounders beat or tie the LA Galaxy, the Pids are in the playoffs for the first time since 2016.

The Rapids are in fine form, but a win at Providence Park is typically pretty tough to come by. Portland is on a 5-game unbeaten streak at home, with four wins and a draw in recent months.
