PackerFANatic7 (102.79) vs Pack Attack (93.18)
Things were looking a little dicey for a bit but PackerFANatic7 did what they had to do and get win #6 on this one! They are now tied with 7 other teams at 6 wins but the good news for them is that they have the most points scored of all of them! If they can win these next two games I would be fairly confident in them making the playoffs given their points scored. In addition, we may see a 7 win team get into the playoffs this season and with their high points scored even with one loss they still could get in. These next two weeks will be critical!
U Don’t Know (134.96) vs 16hrs Ahead of You!! (94.93)
U Don’t Know comes away with the HUGE win in this one as they keep their playoff hopes very much alive with a 40 point thumping of the once powerful 16hrs team! U Don’t Know moves to 6-6 on the season and has now won 3 of their last 4 which has seen them catapult their way up the leaderboard. 16hrs Ahead of you drops their 4th straight to fall to 7-5 on the season. I can’t really believe I am saying this but they need to win at least one more game or they could miss out on the playoffs altogether!
Bossman (138.78) vs Big Papa (90.10)
And here we go again! This is kind of what you expect year over year from Bossman as they are not usually the most impressive team in the first month or so but when it matters most they always seem to find ways to get those important wins and put themselves yet again in position for a playoff run. This year is no different as they have now won 2 straight and 6 of their last 7 games to put themselves at the top of the standings as they look to defend their title! Big Papa falls to 5-7 on the season and while they aren’t officially eliminated I am thinking they would need to score 200 points in each of the last two games and then get some help. Not looking good for them.
Sportsfreak (171.30) vs BIGBOY! (112.46)
I see you Sportsfreak! They can smell the playoffs right in front of them and they are not going to waste their opportunity this season! This game reminded me a bit of the Packers / 49ers game where the 49ers players were using words like “embarrassed” after. Thinking BIGBOY! will be really excited to see everyone on Thanksgiving and talk about this one! Sportsfreak moves to 7-5 and the playoffs are looking good for them but they have a shot now to get one of those first round byes! BIGBOY! falls to the jumbled up group of 6-6 teams but the good news is that they do have the 2nd most points scored which right now means they are in the #6 spot. Two games left and everything is still there for both of these teams!
HHH (147.23) vs DaUnderdog (145.20)
You have heard the saying of “that loss stings” or “that one is going to hurt” or maybe that one was a “gut punch” well I am not sure that either of those sayings are quite harsh enough for how this one must feel to DaUnderdog. Let me explain so you all can feel bad for him and send him some heartfelt messages or give him an extra turkey leg on Thanksgiving! DaUnderdog is having a strong week and it is looking like they should break out of that 5 game losing streak and get to 7 wins. They watch as J. Love (their QB) throws a perfectly placed bomb to C. Watson for a easy 50 yard TD which in my estimation would have been worth 7 more points for Love. If you didn’t see the play, it is being referred to by some as the worst drop of the NFL season. With all that happening however DaUnderdog still had a 55.77 point lead heading into Sunday Night Football. DaUnderdog had 1 player remaining in R. Bateman while HHH had three. Those players were J. Tucker, D. Henley and I saved the best for last…. S. Barkley! If you watched or heard about the Sunday night game you know where this is going. Barkley had one of the better performances by a RB in the history of the NFL. He put up a ridiculous 55.35 points and that lead that DaUnderdog had was now less then a point going into the Monday nighter. Bateman scores a TD early on for DaUnderdog and they have a lead so maybe just maybe they can overcome all of this and still win? Nope, Bateman did nothing the rest of the way and both Tucker and Henley kept chipping away at the score until ultimately they took the lead and sent DaUnderdog to one of the tougher losses by any team this season. They are still at 6-6 on the season however and two wins and they still could get to where they want to be but that feels like a long ways away right now!
pack slayer (94.55) vs Rapids Plungers (83.56)
This was a ugly game as neither team was able to get to the 100 point mark. You knew coming in that it was going to be a challenge for Rapids Plungers and that to get there they would need one of their players to step up but it just didn’t happen. The loss moves them to 6-6 and currently out of the playoffs which is significant because this team never misses the playoffs! They now likely need to win out to get in! For pack slayer, they move to 8-4 on the season and all but punched their ticket to the post season! They now however have their eyes set on holding on to that first round bye which may require them to win both games. This was a ugly win but I say it every time.. you need those wins sometimes to go your way if you want to make the playoffs. The interesting thing for pack slayer is that they have now won 3 games this season that they failed to score 100 points. Yes.. fantasy football does have an element of “luck” to it!
teamAlaska (94.87) vs Starrfavrerodg (88.35)
teamAlaska just keeps hanging around as they have been in must win games since week 10 and they have won all of them! That is three straight wins with two more to go! It wasn’t pretty this week but they figured out a way to get the job done and take down another team in Starrfavrerodg that saw their three game winning streak come to an end! This has to be a frustrating one for them as anytime your opponent doesn’t score 100 you feel like you should win! Now they are left in the position of two must win games to close it out! They get HHH next week and close it out with Bossman which means it isn’t going to be easy for them!
That’s it for this week everyone. Have a great week!
