Weekend Recap Week 13

Commish's Corner....

A big thank you goes out to Stickboy who opened his house for a day of watching football games. Two wide screen TV's playing several different games and one fancy internet hookup to the TV provided a very interesting way of watch the afternoon unfold. It was good way to watch the final regular season games. We'll have to do this again next season as it made the games much more enjoyable.

As for our playoffs, if your 7-6 or higher, you are in. If you are 6-7, you'll need the tie breakers to fall in your favor to make it as there are many teams that could end with this record.

The good, the bad, and the ugly….

Fantasy Game Recaps….



















Dragons
(7-5) East
137.60
vsThunder Choads
(7-5) East
91.19

WR Derrick MasonMNFDT Green Bay Packers
With a lead of 46.41 and each team with a player still playing on Monday night, it's a good bet that Dragons will win it's fourth division title in a row. Seven wins in a row after dropping your first five, bravo. Should get another high score of the week, but there is a chance Rutting Bucks could catch him as he has Aaron Rodgers still to play and only needing 18 points and some change. The Choads should end with a 7-6 record, second in the East and sitting good going into the playoffs. Slaton is the only injury of note on the roster and as long as the remaining RB's can produce, they will be fine.




















Dynasty
(6-6) East
93.33
vsStickboy
(6-6) East
87.45

noneMNFRB Ray Rice
WR Greg Jennings

This one surprises me, Dynasty up by only 5.88 points, but most likely will lose to Stickboy as he has Ray Rice and Greg Jennings yet to play. If Stickboy does get the victory, and I don't see any reason he wont, he'll move to 7-6 and make the playoffs, Dynasty should fall to 6-7 and then hold on for the tie breaker to see if he makes the playoffs or not.




















Crippled Monkeys
(6-6) Central
66.38
vsBuckwheat
(8-4) Central
66.32
noneMNFRB Ryan Grant
As it sits, Crippled Monkeys holds a 0.06 point lead going into Monday's game, now if Ryan Grant comes down with H1N1, the Monkeys would have a chance. Baring an illness, groin pull in warm ups, or some fluky setback to keep him out of the lineup, all Ryan Grant needs to do is have one carry and fall forward to give Buckwheat yet another miracle win of one team falling flat on it's face. Odds are, Monkeys will be the second team with a 6-7 record by evenings end.




















Rutting Bucks
(5-7) Central
119.51
vsPimp Juice
(6-6) Central
90.81
QB Aaron RodgersMNFWR Donald Driver
Rutting Bucks at one point looked to be the team to beat, then there was a flat part of the season, now that the BYE weeks have concluded, WOW! Buck Buck is back with a vengeance. This team will get the victory with a 29 point lead and Aaron Rodgers yet to play. Even throwing to Donald Driver which helps Pimp Juice, I can't see Driver out scoring Rodgers enough to gain 30 points. Both teams will finish with a 6-7 record. Now we are at four teams with 6-7.




















Big Daddy
(5-7) West
97.52
vsGrease Slappers
(6-6) West
90.89
noneMNFKT Mason Crosby
If you were watching the game day program, this was a very close game. Once the afternoon games concluded, the score as 91.12 to 90.89 in favor of Big Daddy. Each team had only their kickers to play. What are the odds? Big Daddy had Nick Folk, who was drafted by Grease Slappers and later cut, scoring 6.4. But, there was two missed field goals by Folk for about 11.5 more points. Grease has Mason Crosby on Monday, who was drafted by Rutting Bucks and later cut. So what this game is down to is Grease needing 6.64 points from Crosby to keep Big Daddy out of the playoffs. IF he doesn't get the points, both teams will be 6-7. If Grease does get the points, only 1 team will be 6-7. So that's five or six teams with a 6-7 record.




















The Stud Stable
(4-8) West
118.35
vsOne Angry Gook
(6-6) West
122.15

noneMNFnoneWIN
By a difference of 3.8 points, One Angry Cook will win the West Division. He owns the tie breaker over Grease, so regardless of how that game plays out, the division is OAC's. If you were at Rob's house, for this game to be this close by the end is amazing. How big was the overthrown pass to Roy Williams now where he would have easily scored? Also the Meachem TD that counted as a touchdown for Saints Offense according to the MFL scoring. The win moves the Angy Cook to 6-7 along with six or seven other teams. Potentially we could have two or three teams with a 6-7 record NOT make the playoffs. I haven't a clue who they will be.

Fantasy Rankings Week 12

Week: 1 | 2| 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12

Final regular season game. You knew by the final week, it would still come down to tie breakers.

East Division: The division winner in the East is simple, Dragons vs Thunder Choads. The winner of this game is the East Division Champion.

Central Division: Buckwheat has earned the Central Division Champion as of week 12. Congrats!

West Division: The West is between One Angry Gook and Grease Slappers. Both teams are 6-6 with OAG having the tiebreaker over Grease. If there both OAG and Grease win or lose, the title is OAG's. The only combination for Grease to win the division is for OAG to lose, Grease to win.

Wild Card Seedings: This is going to be a mess this year with so many having the same overall record. When two teams are tied, it's so easy to determine the winner. Add in three or more teams and there are many additional rules that come into play.

Official League Rules: 7.3 Tie Breakers
Wild Card Tiebreaker Setup – 5 Teams

  • Overall Winning Percentage

  • Head to head results – 2 teams only **

  • Most overall points scored

  • Reverse Points Allowed

  • Power Rank

  • Coin flip


** Use winning percentage rule #3 – If 3 teams are involved, in order for ‘Head to Head’ to be in effect, each of the tied teams must have played all of the other tied teams at least once.

** Use ‘Division Best’ rule – only the best remaining team in each division is compared against one another to determine wild card seedings.

As of week 12, five teams are tied with a 6-6 record, only four of the five will make the playoffs. With week 13 being the final regular season game, I do believe seven or more wins will guarantee a playoff spot. If you have only six wins after this week, you'll need a bit of luck on your side that the tie breakers fall in your favor.

Potentially there could be six teams with a 7-6 record. One team would be a division winner, the remaining five would be wild card teams. The good news is, there would be four teams with a 6-7 record or less who would make up the Beer Bowl. We don't live in a perfect world, so I don't expect it to be any easier when the playoff bracket is finalized.

On to the rankings....we have a new number one ranked team!

Weekend Recap Week 12

Fantasy Game Recaps….



















Dragons
(6-5) East
114.28
vsDynasty
(6-5) East
71.15

noneMNFWR Marques Colston
PK John Carney
Dragons is sitting with a 43.13 lead going into Monday nights game and no one yet to play. Dynasty still has two players, Marques Colston and John Carney. 10 points from the kicker and 30 and some change from Colston is a huge hill to climb. I think we're looking at win number 6 in a row for Dragons who is getting crushing results from Chris Johnson yet again....and 21 from your defense doesn't hurt either.




















Thunder Choads
(6-5) East
90.90
vsStickboy
(6-5) East
83.57
WINnoneMNFnone
The Choads is the other team in the East getting a victory. They only topped 90 points, but it was enough to outlast the 83 from Stickboy. If it wasn't for a great game from Ray Rice 19.38, the final score would have a lot more lopsided than it appears now. The Choads had a great game from ADP and Hightower, but not much happening in the receiving department. Eli Manning, after his career game last week, only put up 11.80. The good news is there was plenty of points on the bench, so this team is scoring, but which to start from week to week is the question. The division winner will be decided in week 13 as today's winning teams in the east will meet each other to decide the division champ. Damn that worked out great!




















Crippled Monkeys
(6-5) Central
112.11
vsRutting Bucks
(4-7) Central
127.50
noneMNFnoneWIN
Any chance of a division title for the Crippled Monkeys is now over. I usually don't look too much into the potential scores of teams, but if the perfect line up was there for Rutting Bucks, they would have had a score of 165.51, or good for the second highest score in league history. The 127.5 and a victory was enough for the week and keeps the playoff hopes alive for the 2009 season.




















Buckwheat
(8-3) Central
65.72
vsPimp Juice
(5-6) Central
86.66
noneMNFQB Tom Brady
DT New Orleans Saints
WIN
Gentleman, your Central Division champion Buckwheats have lost in today's match up. Pimp Juice still has the face of GQ magazine, Tom Brady and the Saints defense yet to play. The win keeps the Juice in the playoff hunt as he'll move to 6-6 with several others. See, you could have started Laurance Maroney after all.




















Big Daddy
(4-7) West
71.06
vsThe Stud Stable
(4-7) West
33.89
RB Pierre ThomasMNFQB Drew Brees
RB Mike Bell
WR Randy Moss
This is a very interesting match up currently. The lead is 37.17 in favor of Big Daddy who still has Pierre Thomas yet to play. So there is points to be earned yet, he's playing right? Stud Stables has Drew Brees, Mike Bell and Randy Moss still to play. They easily can put up 37 points, but how much will Pierre Thomas factor into the mix? Plus this is the Saints versus the Patriots. Two very good teams and who know what kind of score these teams will produce. Essentially, whoever wins, keeps the playoff hopes alive, the loser I believe is headed to the beer bowl?




















Grease Slappers
(6-5) West
87.62
vsOne Angry Gook
(5-6) West
76.21

noneMNFWR Wes Welker
WR Robert Meachem
PK Stephen Gostkowski

It's just a matter of time, with a lead of 11.41, Grease's only hope of keeping Wes Welker, Rober Beachem and Stephen Gostkowski from scoring under 11 points is a scorching case of jock itch. OAG will get the win, and I believe will hold tie breaker over Grease as both teams will be 6-6. This win all but secures the West Division title as a tie next week, still gives OAG the lead.
