There are a lot of similarities between what happened in the NFL this season and what has happened in the fantasy league this season. Mike Zimmer should be questioning himself as a man, a father, a lover, and especially as an NFL coach. Likewise, here I am... with my fantasy roster in pieces and losing all faith in humanity as TFC takes a brutal loss this week to the Ankle "Waiver Wire" Holster. Sometimes in life, you just sit and you ponder - "How did this happen? What life decisions have I made that has led me to this hell that I now call fantasy football week 13?" It sure does put things in perspective...
To make matters even worse - if you happen to ever venture over to the Stacking the Bet portion of the website... you will notice a Week 13 Betting Card. Which also happened to lose out on a possible $374 simply because the Vikings could not close out against the Detroit Lions. The same Detroit Lions that haven't won a game in nearly a calendar year. The same Detroit Lions that was missing their most explosive player (Swift). Very similar to the same fantasy team that was missing their most explosive.... THEIR ENTIRE F*CKING LINEUP!!
Well, we must progress and the show must go on - here is the current playoff race....

Week 13 Results
Matchup of the Week
The J-Bones (6-7) v Bluffton Backup Backups** (7-6)
Turns out, the way things shuffled through this week - both of these teams are pretty much locked up in the playoffs. The J-Bones have a healthy lead in points over any other teams that could possibly catch them and Bluffton Backup Backups have acquired the coveted "7th" win. The hard part will be that nothing matters for them in the last week - not a real positioning battle for either team.
Prediction: The J-Bones... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: Bluffton Backup Backups.... RIGHT!!
The Fortune Cockies (6-7) v Ankle Holster (4-9)
If you are even the slightest bit confused... just reread the first portion of the post. Know that TFC is now sitting in a corner, sobbing - wonder if they just blew their chance at the playoffs. There is really nothing more to say - just a straight ass performance from TFC.
Prediction: The Fortune Cockies... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: Ankle Holster... RIGHT!!
Church Vans (7-6) v Teardrop TDs (5-8)
This is a huge win for Church Vans, but an even bigger loss for Teardrop TDs. This knocks Teardrops out of the running and they are now in the roll of spoiler. On the flip side, this was a huuuuuge win for Church Vans - this was the week to win and get themselves above .500 entering into the final week against Hernandez Hit Men. They jump up in the playoff percentages and are now almost assured a playoff spot (a lot needs to happen for them to lose their spot).
Prediction: Church Vans... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: Church Vans... RIGHT!!
Dixie Normous (5-8) v Gruden's Emails* (10-3)
This was a big week for Dixie Normous - but in a reality it was a big loss for Emails, which now losses the firm grasp they hand on the regular season crown. Dixie is still eliminated but they have been showing the league that they are waiting to win consolation bracket. The bigger issue is now Gruden's Emails needs something special to happen if they are to retain the regular season title.
Sidenote: Both of these teams would have lost to Ankle Holster's Suicide Squad of a team.
Prediction: Gruden's Emails... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: Gruden's Emails... WRONG!!
ARBL*** (5-8) v Hoosier Daddy** (10-3)
By my rough estimates - this makes Hoosier Daddy the hottest team in the league. Hoosier Daddy is built for the late season stretch and playoff run. The Bills are in a division that is not yet decided and there is lots of must play football left in their season. This helps Hoosier Daddy as they look into the playoffs and will be relying heavily on Allen and Diggs. On the flip side, ARBL has drastically hurt their chances of making the playoffs and will need a big week from Mahomes and Hill in the final week of the regular season to have a chance at the promise land.
Prediction: Hoosier Daddy.... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: Hoosier Daddy... RIGHT!!
Belt Fairy* (3-10) v PEN15 Wrinkle* (6-7)
Well, well, well - look who decided to show up. PEN15 made a statement at the exact right time of the season. Talk about taking down the belt and now forcing a matchup with TFC to decide who makes the playoffs - boy oh boy, things are going to be fun next week. Also, Belt Fairy lives up to their name and once agains their opponent takes down the belt. There have been 5 matchups that the Belt Fairy has been apart of involving the belt - and he has the most points scored against.... never a good recipe for a fantasy football season.
Prediction: Belt Fairy... WRONG!!
Mystery Guest: Belt Fairy... WRONG!!
Country Roads** (8-5) v Hernandez Hit Men (9-4)
Country Roads has now done exactly what was needed in order to lock up their 2nd seed in the playoffs. With bigger things on their mind - they have a week that means virtually nothing for them - they can not move from their spot. If they lose, they have a big enough lead that 2nd place in their division can catch them and if they win they can't catch the top seed - enjoy the stress free final week of the regular season. On the flip side, if HHM wins and both Hoosier Daddy and Gruden's Emails win - we have a tie in record for the top seed... guess who is currently leading the tie-breaker: Hernandez Hit Men.
Prediction: Country Roads... RIGHT!!
Mystery Guest: Hernandez Hit Men... WRONG!!
Season: 49-42
Mystery Guest: 43-48
Bless
