Ship, Capt, and Crew

We are now in the money and it is time to see who get the trophy (or keep it)! It has been an unbelievable season with many memorable moments...

1. Our first ever manager impeachment issue - although this was more like an assassination, or seppuku.

2. We had a student teacher comment about how he only plays real football... just keep waving your baton band director!

3. We had an amazing trade day, with rumor mill

4. "The Cooler" was born

5. Our championship will now feature the defending champion and a rookie in the league; who to root for, who to root for....


The Championship
Dixie Normous v Florida State Seminal Vesicle

QB: Brady v Manning/Jones/Darnold
It is all about matchups with this battle, Brady against Bills and Manning/Jones against the Redskins. Even though Brady is clearly the better quarterback, Manning/Jones have the far better matchup. The Bills defense is very tough and can easily shut down any quarterback. The most difficult part about Manning/Jones is making sure you start the correct quarterback. If the correct decision is made, Manning/Jones is the better play.

RB: McCaffrey/Freeman v White/Cohen
Is this even really a question? The more embarrassing part is the fact that White/Cohen have some how made it to the championship. Run CMC is the best fantasy football player and this matchup is not even close. Gigantic advantage to McCaffrey/Freeman.

WR: Moore/Slayton v Jones/Sutton
As much of an advantage as McCaffrey/Freeman have in the running back matchup, Jones and Sutton have as much of an advantage in the wide receiver matchup. Jones and Sutton are both top receivers on their team and have decent matchups. The saving grace is that Moore and Slayton do have very nice matchups. It is a slight advantage, but Jones/Sutton have an advantage.

TE: Witten v Smith/Engram
Witten is playing terrific football at the moment and is becoming a good safety valve for Prescott. He has been averaging 7 targets a game in the past three weeks and someone who is known for his sure-handedness, this should equate to double digit points. On the flip side, Engram has the ability to make plays and be a top end tight end. Injuries have hurt his playmaking abilities and opportunities - which gives the advantage to Witten.

FLEX: Howard v Hill
This is fairly obvious, if this is the matchup that remains in the starting roster - Hill has an enormous advantage. However, I predict a change for FSSV and making this matchup closer than it currently stands. There is still not anyone that represents the same fire power that Hill has on the FSSV's bench, so no matter what - this is going to end with an advantage for Hill.

DEF/K: Patriots/Fairbairn v Vikings/McManus
Typically, this is not a crucial part of the matchups section - however, this is the championship and every point counts (this aint no Electoral College). The Patriots defense is what really represents the advantage in this one. They are the top defense by a wide margin and this week they face the Buffalo Bills. You can't sleep on the Bills, but this matchup has the makings of a defense stalwart. Look for the Patriots defense to win this matchup.

Overall, this matchup will be much closer than what many think - and the cooling abilities of facing Dixie Normous may play a huge factor. Last week, Cook and Godwin left the game with injuries, Chark did not suit up, and Samuel had only two touches. This has been played up the entire season - but if Dixie Normous were to win the trophy for the second year in a row, there is no denying the fact that they may be the greatest (luckiest) playoff team in the history of the league.

Prediction: Florida State Seminal Vesicle wins, belt winner (obviously)

Matchup of the Week

1. Wings of Dickarus v 4. Dixie Normous

Let's just breakdown the season of the all-time greatest playoff fantasy player ever...

- Dixie Normous has scored in the bottom five 9 out of 13 weeks of the regular season

- Entering the playoffs, Dixie Normous had scored less points than his opponents - yet still finished 4th in the league

- In the two weeks of the playoffs, both teams Dixie faced off against fell short of their projected total by an average of 30 points

- Dixie Normous started ELI MANNING!!

To be fair, this week Dixie Normous did win the belt and now enters the championship with a team that has showcased the ability to score points. The only players to not reach double digits were his kicker and backup Giants tight end. Will it carry over into this week? It really shouldn't matter, his cooling powers will work and his opponent will score less than 100 points.

Results: Dixie Normous wins

Prediction: Wings of Dickarus wins... WRONG!!

Mystery Guest: Dixie Normous wins... RIGHT!!

7. Hernandez Hitmen v 6. Florida State Seminal Vesicle

This was the real matchup and it really came down to the manager decisions, and someone dropped the ball! Everybody knew Run CMC was going to dominate - he has done it all year. The bigger surprise was DJ Moore scoring 20 plus. The Patriots returned back to their scoring ways and even outscored Brady. FSSV has been one of the highest scoring teams in the league, winning the belt twice. However, HHM has to be kicking himself for not starting Drake. There really was no reason not to start him. Everybody and their mom had that game pegged for a shootout and Drake is the starting running back. I understand not starting him over Henry and Bell, but why not start him over Sanders. Drake has been a force since joining the Cardinals, and now he will be competing in a consolation game.

Looking for the Black Pearl....

Everybody remember when poker was huge? Like ESPN huge. Like Chris Moneymaker was one of the most recognizable faces in America huge. Yes, ESPN still shows poker late at night and every so often you will see the World Series of Poker on television. It can be really boring to watch; however, there is one point in every tournament that is my favorite to watch.

The moment right before the "money cut line."

This is the moment when everyone realizes that if they can outlast just two or three more players they will make money in the tournament, even if it is just a little bit - they still come out on top. Players start changing their demeanor, second guess their decisions, and small chip stacks fold cards that they would normally play. We are now at the moment in our league. The four teams that are left in the playoffs now have a chance to make money, with just one more win. Teams will begin to second guess their decisions, look into key pickups, closely watch the games and pray and hope that they are able to make it the ship.

Let's breakdown the matchups...

Matchup of the Week
1. Wings of Dickarus v 4. Dixie Normous

Everybody and their momma thought that the other matchup would be the Matchup of the Week. However, they might not know the history between these two teams. In the past 4 years, when these two teams (really the owners) have matched up the records stands at...

Wings of Dickarus - 5 wins, 141.94 averaged points
Dixie Normous - 0 wins, 98.06 averaged points

Is this the year that Dixie gets over the hump and his cooling ways work? Have all the injuries and benching of players led up to this moment? Does the defending champion make it back to the 'ship and try to reclaim his trophy?

F*CK NO!!!

Prediction: Wings of Dickarus wins.... belt winner
Mystery Guest: Dixie Normous wins


7. Hernandez Hit Men v 6. Florida State Seminal Vesicle

This matchup should be the top matchup to watch. With both teams pulling off the upset in the first round, although many people thought they would win. This means that we will have a team seeded 6th or lower in the championship for the third straight season. It should also be noted, in the previous two seasons the 6th seed has made it to the championship both times, won once and lost once. However, Hernandez Hit Men is the hottest team in the league - holding the belt and scoring more than 160 points in the two of the past three weeks. This could be trouble for the run of the 6th seed making the playoffs....

Playoffs Week 1 Results

You want to know why the playoffs are so great? Nobody is safe. Fantasy Football can be such a crap shoot sometimes that it doesn't matter if your team has been dominant all season long. You could have the best matchups of the week - but if your players don't ball out, they could lose. It is a wonderful thing, very similar to March Madness.

We have experienced this before... last year the clear-cut top two teams failed to make the championship, and by clearcut - I mean they had a combined 3 losses, and in terms of points scored 3rd place was nearly 200 points away. Did that matter? Nope. It only matters what you do when you are in the playoffs. It is very similar to filling a hole....

It doesn't matter if you have the biggest shovel. Maybe it is wrapped in cellophane, maybe you are leaving it bare. The biggest may not always fill the hole the best. Sometimes a smaller shovel will be able to fill it better with technique. As long as that little shovel just keeps working eventually that hole will be filled and maybe even overflow - if the job is done right, most holes do overflow. The biggest shovel should fill the hole the best most of the times, but sometimes it just won't be right for the job. Essentially, it only takes one time for the small shovel to fit better. That one time gives any team in the playoffs a chance.

Let's get to the playoffs....

Matchup of the Week

5. Hoosier Daddy v 4. Dixie Normous

There is something to be said about teams that play Dixie Normous. Have you ever seen the movie The Cooler? It has William H. Macy and his job in the casino is to move around and sit by people who are doing really well. Then the person just goes cold and they stop winning. Dixie Normous is the cooler. Dixie finished with a record of 8-5 in the regular season, while managing to score the 3rd fewest points in league. There is something to be said about teams when they face him, take Hoosier Daddy for example. Projected to score 130 points and couldn't manage to break 90 points - the curse of Dixie. Dixie is looking to try and be the first back-to-back champion in the league and if his cooling abilities continue to work, there is a strong chance of it!

Results: Dixie Normous wins

1. Wings of Dickarus v 8. Biggus Dickus

Wings of Dickarus came into this first week of the playoffs after an abysmal showing in the final week of the regular season. This week he was able to beat Biggus Dickus - who has been in a slump on the back half of the season. Both teams made crucial mistakes with roster decisions, both missing on the correct quarterback to start. Wings had the match-up locked up before the Monday Night Game and still had Ertz to go on MNF. It is good feeling when you have the bigger shovel and it properly fills the hole - have a nice offseason little shovel!

2. PEN15 Wrinkle v 7. Hernandez Hit Men

What happens when you are team that could have easily been eliminated, but somehow finish as the 2nd seed (not a typical scenario)? You get obliterated by the 7th seed. HHM is one of the hottest teams coming into the playoffs and now will be carrying the belt into the 2nd round of the playoffs. Having 5 players break the 20 point barrier and two of them eclipse 30 points is a perfect formula for dominating the playoffs. On the flip side, in a week when the 49ers were in a thrilling shootout Kittle and Breida were only able to score a combined 25.5 points, which only really equates to 17.5 points when you take the 49ers defense into consideration. It was a good season for Wrinkle, but in the end he will fall short of the trophy ceremony.

It was a rough week for ARBL, who lost to FSSV for the 2nd time this season. Both meetings were very similar, with one distinct difference - ARBL was unable to put anything resembling a fight. Outside of Watson and Golladay there was not a lot of production. FSSV didn't have a huge week, but he was still able to showcase the depth that is needed to make a deep run in the playoffs. The name of the game is "Survive and Advance" and that is exactly what FSSV did.

Playoffs - Week 1

As I sit here and look out into the world, I begin to fear. There are many issues with the world; water is no longer wet, it is not longer cool to try hard at things, TikTok is cool again, and everyone has some kind of issue that prevents them from doing anything functional. Essentially, this future generation sucks... big time. I look around and I just think about what is happening to people and I ask myself.... "What I this bad?" There is a good chance I was, but I like to think that I wasn't quite as dumb and moronic as some.

Whenever you get in a funk like this and you begin to dwell on things that suck, you need to adjust your focus and find something that doesn't suck. For some it is running - they get that odd euphoria whenever their lungs are about to burst and their legs burn. I don't get it, but if it works for them. For some it is sitting at home with your pants off. You know the feeling, when you are completely alone and you don't have anything to worry about. Maybe you got a cool libation in one hand and your other hand is occupied - you know the feeling. For others, it is Fantasy Football. They get off on their team and how good they look. This is commonly referred to as "rosterbating." You can't help but touch yourself when you look at your team and their chances in the playoffs.

Whichever category you fall into, find a way to be happy and ignore all the suck in the world right now. Now if you will excuse me for a second, I have to go rosterbate in the faculty bathroom....

Well, that was faster than expected - let's jump straight into the playoff matchups....

Matchup of the Week

5. Hoosier Daddy vs 4. Dixie Normous

Let's be honest, this is the playoffs - every matchup is a big matchup and every matchup could be Matchup of the Week. However, this matchup has the best chance at an upset to happen - not to say others won't happen, but in this matchup the lower seed (Hoosier Daddy) has a few things trending...

1. Hoosier Daddy has scored the 2nd most points in the league and their is a good chance when it is all said and done, they may end with the most points in the league.

2. Hoosier Daddy has 7 players that are facing against either Washington, NYG, or Cincinnati - those three teams have a combined 6-30 record.

3. Lamar Jackson is not one of those players - which means the MVP and 7 players who have comfy matchups are going to go off this week!

Prediction: Hoosier Daddy wins, belt winner

Mystery Guest: Hoosier Daddy wins

1. Wings of Dickarus v 8. Biggus Dickus

At one point in the season, it looked like Biggus Dickus was going to be the team to beat. At one point in the season, it looked like Wings of Dickarus was going to be the team to beat. Now? Neither team looks incredibly tough and both teams limped into the playoffs. Yes, that is odd to read - the number one seed limped into the playoffs. Wings still leads the league in points scored, but with an injury scare looming of D. Cook and not much else in terms of running backs - Wings is relying upon his pass catchers to carry the load. On the flip side, Biggus went from being a 97% playoff lock - to fighting for his spot to make the playoffs. If Biggus wants to pull of the upset, someone is going to need to step up and score 20+ points (might need a few players).

Prediction: Wings of Dickarus wins

Mystery Guest: Biggus Dickus wins

2. PEN15 Wrinkle v 7. Hernandez Hit Men

If there was another matchup that featured a high chance at an upset - this would be it. PEN15 Wrinkle was one substitute away from being knocked out of the playoffs. Instead, they are the number 2 seed in a playoff bracket that could see every top seeded team lose. On the flip side, Hernandez Hit Men come into the playoffs riding high - scoring more than 120 points in three of the past four weeks. The roster looks loaded with number one players on mediocre teams - which is vital when it comes to a fantasy playoff run. Look for this one to end up with the 7tb seed moving on....

Prediction: Hernandez Hit Men wins

Mystery Guest: Hernandez Hit Men wins

3. Aaron Rodgers Blows Llamas v 6. Florida State Seminal Vesicle

This matchup features two teams that have both held the belt twice, one currently holds the belt. Featuring one of the most consistent teams, FSSV has only scored below 110 points twice this season. To match that, FSSV has scored more than 125 points six times. This is a scary team that is headed by a player that should be MVP (if he wasn't a running back) - RUN CMC. On the flip side, ARBL currently holds the belt and has one of the hottest wide receivers, D. Parker. However, FSSV has already beaten ARBL once (week 2) and they will be looking to stay undefeated against them...

Final Week Results

The regular season has come and gone. Which means we have a few orders of business to take care of: Awards, Post Season Matchups, and Voting for Next Year. First and foremost, I would like to say "Thank You" to Bluffton Backup Backups. I know I have given him plenty of praise this season, but seriously think about what he did. He took over a team that he didn't draft - which is one of the most important parts of the fantasy season; he paid for the team entry fee; he stayed relatively active; he won in the final week to not finish dead last in the league. Enough with the mushy crap, let's jump to the awards....

Fantasy Football MVP - Christian McCaffrey (FSSV)
This should be no surprise to anyone that has followed the NFL or fantasy football throughout the season. Run CMC is averaging 30 points a week - a mark that is astonishing, considering what that would entail. Let's put this into perspective a week consisting of 100 yards rushing, 50 yards catching, 5 receptions, and a touchdown would equate to 26 points... CMC averages better than that each week. Ohhhh, and he beats the next best running back by an average of 7 points a week, clearcut stud!

Best QB - Lamar Jackson (Hoosier Daddy)
It will be shocking if Lamar Jackson is not the NFL MVP by season end - which also makes him a very easy pick for the top QB in fantasy football. Disregard the fact that he is a human highlight reel - because let's face it, you don't get more points for replays. The numbers speak for themselves, he is outscoring the 2nd best QB by 5 points per week and he has one week under 20 points and six weeks over 30 points. Talk about consistency.


Best WR - Michael Thomas (Hernandez Hit Men)
Just think about the fact that Thomas had Teddy Bridgewater as his quarterback for nearly half the fantasy season. He still has scored more than 40 points more than his pursuers at the wide receiver position. He welcomes back his gunslinger and looks forward to making his presence felt in the post season. He is averaging just under 10 receptions a week - which obviously translates to consistency and opportunity - two things that make Thomas one of the deadliest wide receivers in fantasy football.

Best TE - Travis Kelce (...And Your Johnson)
You might be thinking, "Kelce has completing underperformed all season long!!" You are right, which makes what Kelce brings to the table that much more astonishing. Kelce also dealt with a quarterback injury and still has managed to score the most points as a tight end. He now has Mahomes throwing him the ball and will be looking to destroy that consolation bracket!

Best Kicker - NOT ADAM VINATIERI
Seriously, WHAT THE F**K!?!?

Best DEF - New England
Two schools of thought when it comes to playing a defense: stream one that is playing the worst offense or lock up a top notch squad and never worry about it. New England fits both categories - not only have they been a consistent death trap for opposing offenses, but they also lined-up against Miami, New York Jets (twice), New York Giants, and Washington. They have averaged 17 points each week and they have topped 20 points five different times. Let me put it this way, if New England was a positional player - they would be ranked 30th in average points per week.

Waiver Wire All-Star - Terry McLaurin (The Back Hatch)
Okay, let's just clear the air - the waiver wire in this league is slim, like sponsoring a starving child in Africa slim. There is just nothing out there to get - McLaurin is the 26th ranked wide receiver, which does put him in a starting role as WR2 on a team somewhere. Typically, we have a quarterback that was picked up and played - this year it is a Washington WR who will more than likely be drafted somewhere in the middle of next's years draft.

Steal of the Draft - Josh Allen (Biggus Dickus)
Remember, when I said there is typically a quarterback that is picked up off the waiver wire that plays extremely well? What about getting drafted in the 15th round and 201st overall? What about being the 4th ranked quarterback? What about dominating and playing so well, that the team that drafted you - dropped you? Twice. So technically speaking, Allen could have won both the Steal of the Draft and the Waiver Wire All-Star. We will let McLaurin keep his award, reparations - or some shit like that.

Swindle of the Year - L. Fournette, T. Williams, S. Diggs for S. Barkley and P. Dorsett
(PEN15 Wrinkle/The Back Hatch)
Let's puts some numbers to this trade... 6th RB, 19th WR, 42nd WR for 21st RB, 57th WR. Hmmm, which side do you think won this trade? Sure, Barkley got hurt - nobody can predict that. However, we can't forget that Barkley lasted only six days on the squad before being shipped out. Talk about giving up a lot for nothing in return. Anybody have any comments about fleecing? Anybody? Anybody?

Post Season Team to Beat - Hoosier Daddy
If anyone has watched the end of the season play out, then they know that this award could go to two different teams (Hoosier Daddy, Aaron Rodgers Blows Llamas). The crazy part about Hoosier Daddy is that they almost missed the playoffs, needing a win in the final week to secure their spot. Hoosier Daddy locks up the award based up matchups in the upcoming week(s). Cleveland plays Cincinnati and Arizona the first two weeks and Lamar gets Buffalo and NYJets. Look out playoffs, Hoosier Daddy is coming with a wrecking ball.

If you have any disagreements with the awards my email is always an open door. In fact if you would like to suggest a different player you can send it directly to my personal email - the email address is idontgive@f*&k.com. I will be awaiting for your thoughts!

But seriously, one area I would like to discuss it the voting process and issues with the league. I would like to have everyone vote for next season's league rules prior to the end of this year - which should give enough time to have everything set-up correctly for next year. If you have any suggestions on what you would like to have voted upon, send me an email and I (someone else) will create a voting document. Get your suggestions in, we will have a vote in the week prior to the championship matchup.

Now, let's get to the results...

Matchup of the Week

Biggus Dickus* (7-6) v Hernandez Hit Men (7-6)

Man what a close matchup! It has been a while since the Matchup of the Week lived up to the hype and with Carson making this extremely close, but falling just short thanks to the Seahawks giving Penny plenty of touches. Had Biggus pulled off the victory they would have knocked out Hernandez Hit Men from the playoffs, which is currently one of the hottest teams in the league. Hit Men now move into the playoffs and find themselves apart of a pack of 7-6 teams that are looking to upset the playoffs and take down the top seeds.

Wings of Dickarus** (10-3) v The Back Hatch (7-6)

Wings was already locked in as the number one seed going into this week, let's look at the team that was fighting for their life....

The Back Hatch did what they needed to do, Win! The only problem is that the other three teams also won - which means the tie breaker comes into effect, which is not good for The Back Hatch. Trailing all other 7-6 team, we now have our first year (in a very long time) when a team will finish with a losing record and not make the playoffs. Soooooo, you got that going for you?

Result: The Back Hatch wins
Prediction: Wings of Dickarus wins.... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: Wings of Dickarus wins... WRONG!!

Florida State Seminal Vesicle** (7-6) v Bluffton Backup Backups (3-10)

As stated earlier, many thanks go to Bluffton Backup Backups - going out with a win! Now on to the more important issues....

FSSV needed a win to possibly take over the 2nd seed - didn't happen. They lost, which throws a huge wrench into the playoff plans, luckily he was able to score enough points to get him in the playoffs. There is a plethora of teams sitting at 7-6 and FSSV now sits as one of the giant killers looking to take down the top dogs.

Result: FSSV wins
Prediction: FSSV wins.... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: FSSV wins.... WRONG!!

...And Your Johnson (4-9) v Massive TDs* (7-6)

Johnson was one of the teams that was eliminated earlier on, but props to them for continuing to fight and actually winning in 2 of the past 3 weeks. Unfortunately, they were unable to go out with a win and actually gave hope to Massive TD's playoff chances. Massive did what it needed to do, in terms of getting the win. However, they needed more than just a win for them to make the playoffs. They needed to score a ton of points or they needed someone to lose - neither happened. Which now means that Massive TD's is the first team to be left out of the playoffs. Just stick to college football and those parlay bets!

Results: Massive TD's wins
Prediction: ...And Your Johnson wins... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: Massive TD's wins.... RIGHT!!

Aaron Rodgers Blows Llamas** (8-5) v Ankle Holster* (5-8)

ARBL has done well for itself, winning in the final week and moving himself up the rankings. Not only that, but they are now flying high with the belt going into week one. The scary part for ARBL's opponent in the first: in the week following, belt winners are 9-3.

On the flip side, Ankle Holster will not be joining the festivities. Instead, he will be relaxing at home cursing his decision making and constantly questioning how he could take a team that featured 3 running backs in the top 15 and some how not make the playoffs in a league where over half the teams make it! A real H-ache!

Results: Aaron Rodgers Blows Llamas wins
Prediction: Ankle Holster wins... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: Ankle Holster wins... WRONG!!

The J-Bones (3-10) v PEN15 Wrinkle* (8-5)

This matchup had far more implications than what it looks like on the surface level. Sure, it looks like a bottom dweller team going against a leader in the division - but in reality....

Had The J-Bones won, they would have avoided being the worst team in the league. Remember back when the DDA had The J-Bones and their tier one studded roster as the 2nd best team (and many argued they were the best). Had The J-Bones won (and PEN15 lost) PEN15 would not be the 2nd seed, instead they would be out of the playoffs. Think about that.... had PEN15 lost, they would have gone from winning their division to being out of the playoffs!!! However, it did not happen like that and they squeak by into the playoffs as the 2nd seed.

Result: PEN15 Wrinkle wins
Prediction: PEN15 Wrinkle wins... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: The J-Bones wins... WRONG!!

Dixie Normous (8-5) v Hoosier Daddy** (7-6)

Dixie Normous had a chance to knock out one of the top teams before the playoffs, but he dropped the ball. Now, we all must pay the consequences of dealing with Hoosier Daddy and his friendly matchups all the way to the championship. Thanks a lot!

Hoosier Daddy needed to win and it would essentially secure a playoff spot - which happened. Now Hoosier Daddy goes into the playoffs and is the team to beat. They have friendly matchups on their way to the championship and finished 2nd in points scored this season. This playoff run could give them a chance to make a run at the all-time scoring record.

Final Week Predictions

Ohhhhh yes, here we go! We are the final week, the week that will determine the playoffs. This is the pressure stacked, jam packed, "hey, look at that rack!" week! This is the week that will decide so many teams fate, what else would more important that this week?

Thanksgiving? HELL NO

I trust we are all taking our scheduled bathroom breaks to check on the roster and any updates in regards to injuries and inactives. I plan on taking a few extra dumps, so I double check the matchups that really matter. Let's just avoid all this chit-chat and breakdown the matchups and what needs to happen for each team....

Matchup of the Week

Biggus Dickus* (7-5) v Hernandez Hit Men (6-6)

What needs to happen...

Biggus Dickus...

Win - You are in the playoffs

Lose - You need multiple 6-6 teams to lose to guarantee your spot in the playoffs or you could beat multiple teams in total points for to make it. The easiest is to win, however - if you lose, you need to have two of the following teams: The Back Hatch, Massive TD's, Hoosier Daddy to lose or not beat you in points. As it stands now, Biggus is beating Massive TD's and The Backhatch in points so they should be fine - but there have been crazier downfalls.

Hernandez Hit Men...

Win - You are in the playoffs - most likely. You still would need to outscore Massive TD's should they win (HHM has a 50 point advantage).

Lose - You need both Massive TD's and The Back Hatch to lose. If you lose and one of them wins, they leapfrog you for the last spot of the playoffs.

Prediction: Hernandez Hit Men win

Mystery Guest: Hernandez Hit Men win

Wings of Dickarus** (10-2) v The Back Hatch (6-6)

Wings of Dickarus...

In and locked at the 1-seed, no matter what happens

The Back Hatch...

Win - A win does not guarantee a spot in the playoffs, but it does increase the chances. If you win, you would need two of the following teams to lose: Hernandez Hit Men, Massive TD's, or Hoosier Daddy. At this point there is virtually no catching them in tie-breakers (although, technically speaking that could happen).

Lose - A loss equals the consolation bracket.

Prediction: Wings of Dickarus wins, belt winner

Florida State Seminal Vesicle** (7-5) v Bluffton Backup Backups (2-10)

FSSV...

Win - You are in the playoffs, but a win and a PEN15 Wrinkle loss may give you the 2nd seed and the  division title.

Lose - You can still make the playoffs - but you will need a few things to happen. You would need either scenario to happen.... one 6-6 team losing or all them winning but not outscoring your total points for. You have an enormous lead over a few of them and you a virtual lock for the playoffs.

Bluffton Backup Backups...

Win/Lose - You are out of the playoffs.

...And Your Johnson (4-8) v Massive TD's* (6-6)

What needs to happen....

Johnson...

Win/Lose - You are out of the Playoffs

Massive TD's...

Win - You need to win and then have two of the following teams lose: Hernandez Hit Men, Hoosier Daddy, The Back Hatch. You also could win and have them win, but outscore them in points - however you are currently sitting just outside the playoffs because of the tie-breaker, which is not in your favor.

Lose - You are not out of the running if you lose, but either Hoosier Daddy and Hernandez Hit Men need to lose and you also need to outscore them, and you need The Back Hatch to lose. Your best chance at losing and getting in is to have The Back Hatch and Hernandez Hit Men lose and you outscore Hernandez Hit Men by 48 points this week.

The J-Bones (3-9) v PEN15 Wrinkle* (7-5)

What needs to happen...

The J-Bones...

Win/Lose - You are out of the playoffs.

PEN15 Wrinkle...

Win - You are in the playoffs and you have locked up the 2nd seed.

Lose - You would need 2 of the 6-6 teams: Hernandez Hit Men, Hoosier Daddy, The Back Hatch, Massive TD's to lose. You also could have them win and you outscore them or the other 7-5 teams (should they lose). The worst case scenario is that you lose and the 6-6 teams win, and the other 7-5 teams, all outscore you in a tie-breaker. You should be alright, you currently rank 4th in points scored, but there are three other teams within 20 points.

Prediction: PEN15 Wrinkle wins
Mystery Guest: The J-Bones wins

Dixie Normous (8-4) v Hoosier Daddy** (6-6)

What needs to happen...

Dixie Normous...

Win - In the playoffs and locked up the 3rd seed.

Lose - In the playoffs, but will drop down in seeding.

Hoosier Daddy...

Win - Two of the other 6-6 teams: Hernandez Hit Men, Massive TD's, and The Back Hatch lose or you continue to hold your lead over them in points scored. You are currently ranked 2nd in points scored and should be fine should a tie-breaker come into play.

Lose - You will need two of the 6-6 teams: Hernandez Hit Men, Massive TD's, and The Back Hatch to lose and you continue to hold your lead in the points scored. If you lose and two of the 6-6 teams win, you will be out of the playoffs.

May you all enjoy this cluster f*ck of a playoff race and root whole-heartedly against each other's teams!

Week 12 Results

After this week, we have one more week left in the race to the playoffs, and the race only gets tighter and tighter. We do have one issue settled....

Wings of Dickarus will be the number one seed - as expected. However, Wings is limping into the playoffs and could easily be ripe for an upset. They are still consistently scoring in the 120's - but it is more how they are scoring that, reliant upon one player going off. The bigger issue is that a few of the teams that are still fighting for a playoff spot are scoring between 130 and 150.

Other than finally nailing down the top seed, nothing else was solved. What we do know, with one week left....

Matchup of the Week

Florida State Seminal Vesicle** (7-5) v Ankle Holster* (5-7)

In a much anticipated matchup, we have finally confirmed what we all knew..... FSSV is the far superior brother. He even tried to help out the crippled older brother, playing a running back that did not touch the field on Thursday. This matchup took a horrible downward turn on Sunday, considering Ankle was up 27.4 to 8. FSSV got another huge week from Run CMC and this time Moore was also able to break the 30 point threshold. It is crazy to think that a team that once featured 3 different running backs in the top 15, is now eliminated from the playoffs - and to make matters worse, he was eliminated by his younger brother!!

Results: Florida State Seminal Vesicle wins
Prediction: Ankle Holster wins... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: Ankle Holster wins... WRONG!!

Wings of Dickarus** (10-2) v Massive TD's* (6-6)

Wings has now locked up the top seed and they did it with a lineup featuring McKissic and Laird. Wings has been very reliant on his pass catchers and they have not let him down. On the flip side, Massive is now going to need a little help to make the playoffs. Not only will he now be scribed in the record books, but he may be staying there for quite a while. Luckily his kicker was able to make it to double digits, otherwise he may have secured the worst all-time - for now he will be 2nd on the all-time lowest score in a given week list.

Result: Wings of Dickarus wins
Prediction: Massive TD's wins.... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: Massive TD's wins.... WRONG!!

Biggus Dickus* (7-5) v Bluffton Backup Backups (2-10)

What is the remedy for team that was sliding down the standings and facing possible elimination? Playing the worst team in the league. Biggus didn't do much to solidify his ranking, but they did do just enough. Winston had a good game, and Edelman also had a good week. Kupp was not needed on Monday, but the points may come in handy. On the flip side.... well, there is no flip side.

Results: Biggus Dickus wins

...And Your Johnson (4-8) v PEN15 Wrinkle* (7-5)

Don't look now by Johnson has now won two in a row and both have been against teams that are in the playoff race. It is a shame it is too little too late, because something is working for this team. They just took down the top team in the Reverse Cowgirl division and now everything is up for grabs.  Tannehill played very well and they might be a quarterback controversy in town (at least that is what my inside source told me). On the flip side, this was a terrific chance for Wrinkle to lock up the second seed and the division title - not so fast. Now, they must win in the final week or face the possibility of dropping down in ranking - and dropping down far.

Result: ...And Your Johnson wins
Prediction: PEN15 Wrinkle wins... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: PEN15 Wrinkle wins... WRONG!!

Aaron Rodgers Blows Llamas* (7-5) v Hoosier Daddy** (6-6)

ARBL loses this week, and that is more thanks to Cleveland (or Miami) than anything else. ARBL didn't have any player score more than 20 points this week - not a good sign for winning. On the flip side, Hoosier Daddy keeps his playoff hopes alive with a big week from his Cleveland quartet. All four Cleveland "players" outscored their projections this week and the big three (Chubb/OBJ/Landry) combined for 82.6 points - which would have beaten three entire teams. All of this and you include the league MVP and you have a recipe for a team that could make some noise if they make the playoffs. What is better than getting a win in a must-win week? Sex. But what is just below sex? Winning the belt.

The J-Bones (3-9) v Hernandez Hit Men* (6-6)

Hernandez Hit Men had a huge week - which will be especially important when it comes to tie-breakers for the playoff race. HHM had no one break the 30 point threshold, but they had 5 players score more than 20 points, yes - you read that correctly, 5 players more than 20 points. The week started off poorly for The J-Bones, Pascal had a goose egg - and he played! The J-Bones is playing for pride and essentially trying to not be considered the worst team in the league.

Result: Hernandez Hit Men wins

Mystery Guest: The J-Bones wins... WRONG!!

Dixie Normous (8-4) v The Back Hatch (6-6)

The Back Hatch has now won two in a row and needs one more win to have a chance for the playoffs.  Dixie Normous is already locked in the for the playoffs and they are now just playing for position. This upcoming week is not as stressful for them, but they could drop as far as the 6th seed (unlikely, but possible). The Back Hatch did not do a lot to put some fear in opposing teams, but they did enough to beat a team that scored in the 60's - yayyyyyy!!

Matchup of the Week

Florida State Seminal Vesicle** (6-5) v Ankle Holster* (5-6)

A battle for the ages... young beauty versus old wisdom... english versus math... two legs versus one leg. The battle between the two brothers could not come at a better time. This is a contract determining matchup and also could very determine a playoff spot. It is going to be very important that Barkley has a big week, especially with the loss of Mack. Sanders and Hopkins could have huge weeks, and who does love a kicker named Young Hoe? On the flip side, Run CMC is going to do everything he can to help this team secure a victory - will someone else step up and help him? My magic 8-ball says.... "Doubtful"

Prediction: Ankle Holster wins
Mystery Guest: Ankle Holster wins

Wings of Dickarus** (9-2) v Massive TD's* (6-5)

The smack talk began early Tuesday morning, as if the top team in the league needed bulletin board material...

"I need you to pick up a RB so I won't hear any excuses this week when I take down the #1 team....your reign is OVER B*&CH!!"

That was found written in blood on the driveway of Wings of Dickarus (by that, I mean an email). The big question is; who is going to have the needed big week to pick up the hole that is left with Cook on bye and Johnson in limbo? Massive TD's is rolling into town feeling really good, and they should with Lockett and Metcalf coming off a bye week - ironically Wilson is on the other side of this matchup. However, the running back situation is a struggle for Wings of Dickarus and they will be missing that production, which is why - I hate to say it....

Prediction: Massive TD's wins
Mystery Guest: Massive TD's wins

Biggus Dickus* (6-5) v Bluffton Backup Backups (2-9)

What do you need when your team is on a downward spiral and dangerously close to having the biggest collapse in league history? You thank your lucky stars you have Triple B this week. Kupp needs to find a way to become more prevalent in LA and then this squad looks a little more deadly. Winston has a very good matchup with Atlanta, which could result in a shootout. Nothing matters more than the fact that BBB has Allen and Gordon on the bye. Gordon has not been the same since the holdout; but Allen has been amazing for BBB. That is a lot of points to miss out on, especially for a team that has been known to "forget" to make changes to the lineup.

Prediction: Biggus Dickus wins
Mystery Guest: Biggus Dickus wins

...And Your Johnson (3-8) v PEN15 Wrinkle* (7-4)

Hey, guess what?!? We have a candidate for a team to find themselves in the all-time bottom five. Mahomes and Kelce are on a bye week and that leaves a big hole to fill. Props to Johnson though, they were the only team that is eliminated from the playoffs to win last week. However, that trend stops this week - Wrinkle is looking to try and secure the 2nd seed for the playoffs. This matchup could not come at a better time, especially when many of his players (49ers) are struggling with injuries.

Prediction: PEN15 Wrinkle wins
Mystery Guest: PEN15 Wrinkle wins

Aaron Rodgers Blows Llamas* (7-4) v Hoosier Daddy* (5-6)

This is a huge matchup, and one that could make or break the future for one team. Hoosier Daddy needs to win this week and if there is one thing I know about Hoosier Daddy - they always perform with their backs against the wall. Chubb, Beckham, Lnadry, and the Browns DEF welcome Miami and should have a nice week. Waller matches up against the Jets and that fag kicker finds himself in a match-up that could see a lot of points being scored. I feel bad for ARBL - because this week, they are going against the soon to be belt winner...

Prediction: Hoosier Daddy wins, belt prediction
Mystery Guest: Hoosier Daddy wins, belt prediction

The J-Bones (3-8) v Hernandez Hit Men* (5-6)

To keep their playoff hopes alive, HHM need to win this week. Will The J-Bones rollover and take it? Is he gonna take that dick?

Yes, yes he is going to take that dick...

Prediction: Hernandez Hit Men wins
Mystery Guest: The J-Bones wins

Dixie Normous (8-3) v The Back Hatch (5-6)

The Back Hatch is another team that is on the outside, but continues to creep up and stay alive. Evans, Gallup, and MJ Jr. all have performed very well and give this team a fighting chance. Not to mention, it was about this time a few years ago that Mr. Gurley decided to have his best stretch of games - not a bad player to have on your roster. On the flip side, Dixie is trying to keep up pace and fight for the top seed. Jones and Sutton have played amazing, but what happens when Conner (Pitt) returns - does Samuels get lost? We have to wait and see, I do know that the overall depth of The Back Hatch (a nice deep back hatch) is going to prevail this week...

Prediction: The Back Hatch wins

Week 11 Results

Just so you are aware - I have started and restarted this blog post many times. Sometimes it is difficult to come up with something to write about, especially when you have sore throat and it is cold as balls outside. I often times wonder, why have I not moved somewhere south? I feel like I could totally rock a nice southern draw; my wife turns into a southern bell, my two kids run around chasing out livestock around. I am not sure if I could get used to wearing boots everywhere, side note: Does Nike make cowboy boots? What I am trying to say, the weather sucks and I am feeling a little under the weather. What are you suppose to do when there are trying times like this? Do as most women do... fake it.

The old saying, "Fake it till you Make it" goes a long way. What people don't realize is, sometimes you never make it. That is just a fact of life - some people just don't have it in them. Not everyone is suppose to make it, if everyone made it - then nobody made it. Half the time, people just end up faking it... the... entire... time. And honestly, there is nothing wrong with that - that at least tried and made a run of it. People these days just give up, super depressing. At least when you fake it you are trying to accomplish something - so yes, I encourage everyone to fake it - in the bed and out of the bed.

Let's jump to the results....

Matchup of the Week

Wings of Dickarus** (9-2) v Ankle Holster* (5-6)

This may be the first time this season that we have a belt winner come from the Matchup of the Week - we are having our people check on that. The crazier part is that is came with Wilson on the bye, I guess holding onto Brees paid off in the long run. Chark had a huge week against the Indianapolis secondary and he looks to be really enjoying having Foles back at the helm for the Jags. On the flip side, Ekeler has continued to perform extremely well - even with Gordon back in LA. Other than that, there was not a lot happening for Ankle Holster this week, and the light is fading on his playoffs hopes. He will need a big run in the last two weeks to see some extra action.

Results: Wings of Dickarus wins

Bluffton Backup Backups (2-9) v Dixie Normous (8-3)

Let's just take this moment to congratulate Dixie Normous and the season he has had. He has managed to clinch a playoff spot with this week's win and yet again he faced-off against a team that scored the fewest amount of points - to be fair Dixie Normous would have beaten two other teams... yippee. Dixie has made a killing playing players from bad teams - this week it was Darnold. Other than that, not was working - especially Hill putting up a goose egg. On the flip side, BBB has apparently taken the "flight" stance in his time as the sacrificial lamb. Yet, the volunteering act as tribute is memorable, and for that we thank you Triple B.

Result: Dixie Normous wins

Prediction: Bluffton Backup Backups wins... WRONG!!

Mystery Guest: Dixie Normous wins... RIGHT!! 

Massive TD's* (6-5) v Biggus Dickus* (6-5)

This year the playoff race has been extremely tight, this result makes it even tighter. Biggus once looked like a team that was destined for the playoffs - a 97% chance to make the playoff at the beginning of week 9. Biggus has since lost 3 straight weeks and looks completely stunned with the recent performances of Kupp and the loss of Hooper. Somebody needs to step-up or we may see the biggest collapse in this leagues storied history. On the flip side, Massive is storming towards the playoffs and looking like a team on a mission. This week the Prescott/Cobb stack worked to perfection - and Cobb actually seems to be one of Prescott's favorite targets. There has been no real drop-off for Andrews and he has continued to dominant in the Baltimore offense.

Result: Massive TD's wins

Prediction: Biggus Dickus wins... WRONG!!

Mystery Guest: Biggus Dickus wins... WRONG!!

PEN15 Wrinkle* (7-4) v Florida State Seminal Vesicle** (6-5)

This was much needed win by PEN15, as his spot at the top of the division was being challenged by FSSV. Solid performances from Diggs and backup TE Dwelley helped this team do just enough to slide past McCaffrey and the boys. FSSV is sitting in a three-way tie at 6-5 with four teams at 5-6 nipping at his heels. This win was a big step in the direction of securing the division title, but with many teams still within reach - this division is far from wrapped up. 

Results: PEN15 Wrinkle wins

Mystery Guest: Florida State Seminal Vesicle wins... WRONG!!

Hoosier Daddy* (5-6) v ...And Your Johnson (3-8)

This was a match-up that Hoosier Daddy had to be counting on, his road will only get tougher from here on out. Johnson has chosen the "fight" side of being eliminated from the playoffs and everybody is thankful (except for Hoosier Daddy). On paper, Hoosier Daddy has a team that could take the biggest of giants - yet they also seem to never perform up the level that is expected. Jackson may end up being the NFL MVP - and yet still wind up on a team that doesn't make the playoffs in our fantasy league, how often does that happen? Brown (unexpected) and Kelce (about time) had huge weeks and that is what propelled this team to finally having a successful week. 

Result: ...And Your Johnson wins

Mystery Guest: Hoosier Daddy wins... WRONG!!

Hernandez Hit Men* (5-6) v Aaron Rodgers Blows Llamas* (7-4)

HHM made a run at being the first back-to-back belt winner, but fell just short. There were big performances by Murray and Thomas and in a week when 120 points is good, HHM did what they needed to do to keep their playoff hopes alive. On the flip side, ARBL may be a favorite to make the playoffs but they pretty much kissed away a chance at the top seed with this loss. Where in the world was Watson? Ingram not only had a big week, but he also had a big press conference - defending his quarterback and stating that he is the best player in the league...

(Those are the eyes of a crazy man)

Mystery Guest: Hernandez Hit Men wins... RIGHT!!

The Back Hatch (5-6) v The J-Bones (3-8)

As stated earlier, The Back Hatch is not out of it - but they need the dominoes to fall. This was a big week for some dominoes to fall. Mayfield, Gurley, and Gallup all played well and secured the needed win - and even a couple teams lost that needed to lose. The Back Hatch is an outside chance to make the playoffs, but there is still a chance. The J-Bones are eliminated, but we finally got a nice performance from Kamara. Kamara seems like a different player when Brees is throwing the ball and it seems like the injury really affected the top draft pick's season.
