Yoooooooo, we have two weeks left of the regular season - time to take a deeper look into the possible outcomes of the season....
Playoff Chances:
Remember the Redskins (8-3) - 100%, Ankle Holster and BBB
RtR is now playing for the number 1 seed, if they win out they lock it up. They have Ankle Holster and Bluffton Backup Backups remaining. Which does give them a legitimate chance to be the only team to reach double digit wins. The only question remains - if they are to be the number 1 seed, can they be the first ever 1 seed to win it all in this league?
The J-Bones (7-4) - 98%, HHM and PEN15 Wrinkle
Officially the hottest team on the block, with 4 straight wins. So far, The J-Bones have had a 3 game winning streak, 4 game losing streak, and now are on a 4 game winning streak. They should be in the playoffs - but if they happen to lose the next two games and lose big - they could possibly miss out. Obviously, this shouldn't happen - but at this point, who knows?!?!
Asymmetric TDs (7-4) - 98%, PFT and Asians
Asymmetric TDs is in the unique position where they have the best chance at the 2-seed or not making the playoffs. Currently, they are leading their division - but their division theoretically could have 4 of the 6 teams that don't make the playoffs. Once again, there is a much better chance they lockup the 2nd seed - but they do need to secure a few wins in order for that to happen.
iTouchdown There (6-5) - 85%, BBB and HHM
iTouch should get in the playoffs - they control all tie-breakers. If they get to 7-wins, they should be in - however, if they manage to trip over themselves near the finish line - things could get much more interesting. Win and you are in!
From here on out, the water gets a little murkier...
2 Gurleys 1 Cupp (6-5) - 78%, Dixie and PFT
2G1C already has a 6th win, which means one more win and they should be in great position. They face the already eliminated Dicks next week and then square off against PFT in the final week - which could be a win-or-go-home week for both teams.
Hernandez Hit Men (6-5) - 70%, The J-Bones and iTouchdown
HHM better send a gracious letter to ESPN by allowing him to play Hill at QB. Honestly, that may be what ends up saving his season. Tough matchups down the stretch, but one more win and they should be in. The DDA number-1 pick - is struggling to make the playoffs, which makes them even more dangerous if they do get in.
Penis Fly Trap (6-5) - 62%, Asymmetric and 2G1C
PFT is one of the teams that have 6-wins already, but they also have the toughest final two games. Asymmetric is leading their division and 2G1C is in 2nd. PFT is in 4th for The Growers - it looks like we are gonna get a good look at how the divisions stack up against each other in the final two weeks.
3rd and 41 (5-6) - 69%, ARBL and Dixie
3rd and 41 really wanted to get a win this past week, especially after getting a gift the week before. They are in the middle of the pack in terms of wins, but they also should hold tie-break over most teams. If I was a betting man... I would say they get-in (but I am also bad at betting).
Ankle Holster (5-6) - 57%, RtR and ARBL
Let's all just say it, we know this is going to come down to the final week and the battle with ARBL. Which is what we all want - all the sh*t talking and bet making comes down to a matchup between the two teams.
Solo Driving Asians (5-6) - 40%, PEN15 and Asymmetric
I sit here, astounded by the fact that SDA is still alive and well in the playoff race. The final two weeks are must wins and if that happens and little luck outside of their control and they could still get-in. Honestly, if they get in... I can not wait for the 30 for 30 documentary called, "Not the Worst." Think Handy Rubbins would be up for an interview?
After this, family members have their hands on the plug and are about the pull it...
Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams (4-7) - 18%, 3rd and 41 and Ankle Holster
This has to be one of the fastest falls from when the playoff prediction posts start. After week 7, ARBL sat at 4-3 and had an 83% chance to make the playoffs. After failing to secure a win in the weeks in between, it is not looking good. ARBL needs to win out and have some luck handed their way.
Bluffton Backup Backups (4-7) - 3%, iTouch and RtR
This was the week that really put the nail in the coffin. Now, I know how powerful of a man you are outside of fantasy football - so I will just say this. It was the biology teacher that knocked you out - not me. Once again, it was not me. I repeat, it was NOT ME.
PEN15 Wrinkle (4-7) - 0%
I lost to this team.
Dixie Normous (4-7) - 0%
I would like to take this time to thank Dixie Normous for all the good times he has given us during his 2-time defending champion run. All bullsh*t wins and effin' awful lineups he started. We are so proud of you and trust me when I say this, we have never been more glad to see you not make the playoffs.
Let's jump to this week's matchups...
Matchup of the Week
Remember the Redskins* (8-3) v Ankle Holster* (5-6)
This is the MotW for one reason and one reason only.... the rest of the family. As these quarrel over fantasy and yell obscenities at each other (I can only imagine the string of words and crazy concoction of curses) the rest of the family will be trying to enjoy each other's company. I feel bad for anyone else in that household - then again, would it be any different than a normal family gathering? You know what, now that I think about this - this is actually going to be as if nothing has changed. Let's take a quick look into the future and look at what it is going to be like....
Ankle Holster wakes up... finishes his beer from the previous night and cracks another one open. He pours the rest into his bowl of cereal and opens another one (because you have to have a drink with your morning cereal). As guests start to arrive Ankle Holster finishes off his first 6-pack of the day. RtR finally shows up to the party, trying to play it cool because he knows he has the better team. But underneath it all, he was crunching numbers and matchups all night - because he knows he can't lose to the big brother. For if he does, all of Wells county will know about it and he will never live it down. "Hey F*ckface, welcome to the Beatdown!" Big brother jumps off the 2nd story balcony as if he was dropping a WWE elbow - in midflight he cracks open and finishes another beer. Then all hell breaks loose and everyone in the family starts beating the sh*t out of each other Royal Rumble style. "Everyone knock this sh*t off. We are going to eat in peace and pretend like we love each... Damnit!" The matriarch has spoken. "Shut the hell up Mom!" And with that WWIII breaks out and every single family member is beat to a pulp by Momma V.
Prediction: Remember the Redskins wins
Mystery Guest: Ankle Holster wins
Penis Fly Trap (6-5) v Asymmetric TDs** (7-4)
I hate to say this, because I know I am going to jinx myself. Amari Cooper literally and figuratively feasts on Thanksgiving day. In the 2018 season, he posted a stat line of 8 catches, 180 yards, and 2 touchdowns. In the 2019 season, he had 11 targets and 8 catches for 85 yards. Which gives him an average of 8 catches, 130 yards and 1 touchdown - that will do pig, that will do. Call me a fool - no literally, call me a fool. But this matchup is going only one way....
Prediction: Penis Fly Trap wins
Mystery Guest: Asymmetric TDs wins
iTouchdown There* (6-5) v Bluffton Backup Backups (4-7)
iTouchdown is one of the best teams in the league - yet somehow ranked 6-5. That is because iTouch is a roster full of boom-or-bust players....
Jamison Crowder - 5 games in double digits, 6 games under or did not even play
Tyler Lockett - 6 games over 15 points, 5 games with 11 or under
Jonnu Smith - 7 games over 10 points, 4 games under 10 points
Nick Chubb - 3 games over 18 points, 3 games under 12 points (only played in 6)
When you have four of your starting lineup this inconsistent, anything can happen. Oh yeah, and they have Murray and Cook - soooooooo yeah, they are going win.
Prediction: iTouchdown There wins and takes the belt
Mystery Guest: iTouchdown There wins
Solo Driving Asians (5-6) v PEN15 Wrinkle (4-7)
You know how the Asians keep this finger blasting rider going? They matchup against the worst team in the league. Although, if there is any team that can cool off a nice solo mission - it is PEN15. They might be the worst team in the league, but that have managed to beat: Penis Fly Trap, 3rd and 41, The J-Bones, and Dixie Normous. Three out of four teams are looking to make the playoffs and the 4th team currently has the belt - not a bad slew of wins. Either way, I am riding the hot hand (not quite the same way as the Asians) and taking SDA!
Prediction: Solo Driving Asians wins
Mystery Guest: Solo Driving Asians wins and take the belt!
Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams (4-7) v 3rd and 41* (5-6)
If SDA has the hot hand right now, ARBL is sitting in the freezer. They have lost 4 straight weeks. Some might say it is because they traded away Dalvin Cook for Hopkins. However, Hopkins has performed - it has been the other players that have let ARBL down. Specifically, the QB position - which has average 10.41 points over the previous 4 weeks... and that includes 19.2 points from Newton last week. Which means prior to last week - ARBL averaged roughly 7 points a week from the QB over the losing streak. Unfortunately for 3rd and 41 - ARBL now has Newton and he could be the solution to all their problems. Look for ARBL to correct the ship this week...
Prediction: Aaron Rodgers Blows Llams wins
Mystery Guest: 3rd and 41 win
The J-Bones** (7-4) v Hernandez Hit Men* (6-5)
This is a battle that looked good after about week 3. The J-Bones had won the belt 2 out of the first 3 weeks and Hernandez Hit Men was still flying high from being ranked first in the DDA.
Then at about week 8 the matchup would have looked bad. The J-Bones were spiraling from losing Prescott and HHM was getting no production from their stud running backs.
Now, the matchup looks so-so with big playoff implications. Hernandez Hit Men need to win to help out their standing in the playoff race. The J-Bones need to win to try and keep pace in their division and possible have a chance at the top spot. The J-Bones are going to be riding their horses all week long...
Prediction: The J-Bones win
Mystery Guest: Hernandez Hit Men win
Dixie Normous* (4-7) v 2 Gurleys 1 Cupp (6-5)
I will just say this, 2G1C got a lot better when they welcome back Robinson and Diggs from bye weeks. This lineup is what a champion looks like. This is going to be the final blow to the dick. You had a good run Dixie - a damn good run.
Prediction: 2 Gurleys 1 Cupp
Mystery Guest: 2 Gurleys 1 Cupp
Mwah
I wish you all good luck, except for you Asymmetric TDs, may your entire roster burn in a fiery helicopter crash eerily similar to the one that took down Kobe!
