It's week 12! Only two weeks left in our regular season, so things is getting real. Sadly Pete and Jude have been mathematically eliminated from making the playoffs. So all they can do now is try and play the role of spoilers!
On the other side of the coin, four teams have now clinched a playoff spot, so six teams are now in the hunt for the final four playoff spots. Now, Steve, Kyle and Deloria can all clinch a spot with win, however Kyle and Deloria are playing each other! That means there's a high chance we will head into week 13 with two playoff spots up for grabs. Of course if Bobsicles. and Purple Helmet lose then all three of those teams clinch anyways, plus we have the Franchitto Gravy Bowl this week and we know how intense and fierce those can be!
Winner gets a free gravy bowl! Anyways, onto Ranksgiving!
12) Peter's Team (2-9, 1229.76 PF)- Well, Pete can be thankful that he wasn't mathematically eliminated from making the playoffs all by his lonesome.
11) Purple Helmet (4-7, 1271.50 PF)- It's not entirely a must-win matchup for Jonny, but it pretty much is.
10) Coop Her Kupp (2-9, 1340.14 PF)- Well, Jude can at least say he was the unluckiest team in the league? Based on week over week scores he should be sitting on five wins right now....so there's that.
9) Bobsicles. (4-7, 1420.42 PF)- Larry is clinging to playoff life, but a win over Steve coupled with Brando winning the Fanchitto Gravy Bowl and he's back in a decent spot!
8) Team Deloria (6-5, 1375.02 PF)- Deloria's coming off his worst week of the season, but he still just needs a win and he's onto the playoffs! That's easy enough, right?
7) Kyle's Team (6-5, 1401.66 PF)- Kyle's in the same boat as Deloria in that he just needs to win and he's in the playoffs. So their week 12 clash is a big one.
6) Shirley Stranglers (5-6, 1434.70 PF)- Does defense win fantasy championships? Nate sure hope so since no one has scored more defensive points that him. Will that help him pull off the upset in the Franchitto Gravy Bowl?
5) Marvelous Muzzy's (7-4, 1397.86 PF)- Playoff spot is clinched and now Matt's just in a battle to not be the playoff team with the fewest points scored. This team also has the distinction of being the only one of the four teams who have clinched a playoff spot that has had the worst weekly score, more than once! Lucky or not, anything can happen in the playoffs, so don't sleep on Matt's team just because he hasn't be able to score points real well.
4) Salem Salad Tossers (6-5, 1554.62 PF)- Steve's team has been slip sliding for a bit now. A win this week slides him in the playoffs, but even if he loses, he is in line to hold the points tiebreaker.
3) Carnal Fruitarians (7-4, 1629.82 PF)- According to Dave he was about to take over the top spot in points last week...guess Dave was using a loose definition of "about". Anyways, credit where credit is due, Dave has had the highest scoring week, a league leading four times this season!
Oh boy, well let's humble him a bit and remind him that that stat hasn't helped him be first in points or wins, so?
2) HAIL MURRAY (9-2, 1604.68 PF)- Looking to hold a piece of first place from start to finish, a win this week clinches at least the #2 seed in the playoffs. This team has mastered consistency, being the only team to not be in the bottom five in points any week this season. No one has gone a whole season with that consistency since 1957! Okay, not really, but it's still a neat, useless stat.
1) Laughing Kookaburra (8-3, 1633.02 PF)- Should be the Laughing Koo-Kamara, am I right? Riding the Kamara/Mahomes tandem to victory ain't a bad way to fly if you can manage it!
