Week 10 recap!!

Double digits guys,

3 more games left, week 11, 12, and 13.  There is still a lot of room for change and upheaval left in this last stretch.  Less than a quarter of the games left, this is the time to win if you're going to.

In the NFL this week we saw the absolute dismantling of a few teams, the Bears, Panthers and Raiders to name a few.  With that, I also hope you all see the importance of garbage time.  The time when Benji scores two TDs and Marshall goes nuts.  The time when Manning unleashes his arm and real games remain completely unchanged.  As they say though, stats is stats is stats.

Anyway, to the real exciting part of all of this, who's gonna make the playoffs?  Who's gonna get that $550 payout that is oh so sweet.  If you can see it in sight, be smart and maybe you can make it in, it doesn't take the best team, it only takes the most hot team at the end to win it all, make a run today.

Now for what I'm sure everyone is waiting for.  The playoffs, and now how many games you can lose (or must win) to get in.

If the Playoffs Started Today:

1. Cobb Thomas (7-2-1)
2. Dog DontMind (7-3)
3. Megatron and Friends! (6-4)
4. Mr Rodgers Neighborhood (7-3)
5. Full Metal Jacket (6-4)
6. Sunday Mornin Woodhead (5-5)

This is the projected playoff bracket right now.  There are 3 weeks left, so things can definitely still change, and they likely will still change.  What I'm going to do now is take seeds 7 through 10, and give a little rundown onto why there is still hope left.

Seed #7: Ruckers Rip Some Lips (5-5)

Alright dad, one spot out of playoffs is probably the worst spot possible honestly.  You're tied in record with Sunday Mornin Woodhead, which means all he has on you at the moment is a points for tiebreaker.  Score high and you're in.  On the opposite side let's say you win out, giving you a record of 8-5.  That mean's if Jared loses two more games (and uh, he plays YOU, Cobb Thomas and Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood), you can still win the division.  This next week means a lot for you.  Beat Dog DontMind and force his hand.

Seed #8: Greenbowl Packers (5-5)

1 game behind from a division tied at 6-4.  That's tough.  Especially when you had a big chance to tie it up and you put up 61 points.  That's okay though, you're in the right spot for a move still.  Now you have the second least points for, so a tie breaker is tough but... not impossible.  If you were to outscore Ory by 81 points over the next 3 games you could actually pull out the spot from underneath him.  Add to that, you have a potential season record of 8-5, allowing you to surpass both Alex and I.  You're next week against Ory is your most important week by far.

Seed #9: God 777 (4-5-1)

Yuriy, to put it simply you are not a lucky guy when it comes to fantasy.  Hell the exact opposite is probably true.  You own the tiebreaker over every single person except Alex.  That means for you, the quest is simple.  Win games.  If you win out, you can be at 7-5-1.  That's not terribly great, and to win the division with that record means both Jake and D Smith have to lose out.  So we'll focus on looking at a wildcard spot.  So, right now the three wild card spots belong to D Smith (7-3), Me (6-4), Sunday Mornin Woodhead (5-5).  You're battling it out with two 5-5's ahead of you also.  Now Ory and Val play each other so there has to be at least one win there.  One of them will have at least 6 wins, so you realistically need to win at least 2 more games.  That means you can only lose one more game (if that) and still have a strong chance.  Good luck dude.

Seed #10: Jackson 2 (4-6)

Yaro, you're situation isn't hopeless.  You're only 2 games back in your division with 3 games left to go!  Some of the people in front of you are going to end with 6 loses, probably a few with 7.  The important part in your situation is simply that you do not lose another game.  You've got a chance to grab hold, beat Alex this week, oh hey now you're 1 game back.  Beat me next week!  Hey, you're looking good. Beat Ory again at the end and you've taken out your opponents.  You're far away, but you've got a good schedule for a comeback.

Matt:

You are 3-7.  This is easy, you need people to go on losing streaks.  Serious losing streaks.  You also need to win.  1 more loss and you're definitely out, so don't let that happen.

Ricardo:

You're out of luck this season man, if you want back in next season set your lineups.

Rivalry Of The Week:

Full Metal Jacket Defeats Greenbowl Packers 170-61

Val turned in a strong performance this week, in a crucial matchup.  Putting up a total of 61 awesome points, Val relied on the back of Dwayne Bowe who turned in an impressive 17 point game, and he had the most almighty of anchors in Knile Davis, the man who ran for -5 yards and a fumble.  Sure he had bye week hell, but FlutteringHorde outperformed him this week.

Now I don't want to be too happy about my highest scoring performance of the year, but I'm just saying that without Gronk in I dropped 170.  It was more a show of respect for Val than anything.  So for that, I must thank Val and his amazing awesome team for putting up a total of 106 points in our two games this year.  He has led to that awesome super low points against, and probably my 6-4 record.  For that, I thank you again.

Game Of The Week:

(Yeah, that's Kelvin Benjamin)

Ruckers Rip Some Lips Beats Jackson 2 136 to 124 in Garbage Time

In what once again came down to an awesome last minute finish, my dad pulled a win out of thin air, holding off Golden Tate and Justin Forsett for a win.  This was a big week too, Ruckers was running along at 4-5 and Jackson was also hanging out at 4-5.  In these final 4 weeks, every win counts in bringing you one step closer to the playoffs.  Now Jackson 2 is looking at an uphill climb, 4-6 down 2 games with 3 left to go, and Ruckers is 5-5, down 1 game with his fate tied to his ability to win.  

So, as the last 10 minutes of game in the 10th week of the NFL countdown, Ruckers is facing defeat.  The Panthers are down 45-7, the clock just keeps ticking away.  As time gets lower, Cam Newton throws a bomb!  The bomb goes right to one Kelvin Benjamin, and he catches it, TD!  This brings my dad closer, much closer.  Time keeps slipping.  The Eagles go three and out.  Panthers get the ball, Cam throws another deep pass. The ball flies through the air, sure he hadn't been able to complete a single good pass before, but now's better than never I suppose. 

The ball sails and....

My dad wins.




Good luck week 11 guys.
