Here we go, the final week of the regular season. Usually we get to this point and we have a big ole cluster f*ck in the middle of the pack. Not so much this year, the teams are pretty set.... outside the last spot.
IN
Hoosier Daddy - win and they lock-up the first seed, lose and they can still get the 1st seed with a tie-breaker
Gruden's Emails - win and Hoosier Daddy loses and they get the 1st seed - if they lose they are in a tough spot for all tie-breakers
Hernandez Hit Men - win and Hoosier/Gruden both lose - they are currently ahead for the tie-breaker for the 1st seed
Country Roads - win or lose they will still hold onto the 2nd seed.... unless they score 0 points and Church Vans scores 160+
Bluffton Backup Backups - win and lock up the 5th seed, lose and could possibly drop to the 7th seed if Church wins and J-Bones wins and scores 20 more points than BBB
Church Vans - win and has a chance at the 5th seed, lose and could possibly drop to the 7th seed
The J-Bones - win and has a chance at the 5th seed, lose and could possibly drop to the 7th seed
These spots are locked... Country Roads has the 2nd seed no matter what happens. Hoosier/Emails/HHM are battling for the 1st/3rd/4th. BBB/Vans/Boners are battling for 5th/6th/7th.
Then we have the battle for the 8th spot - which brings us to the.....
Matchup of the Week
PEN15 Wrinkle* (6-7) v The Fortune Cockies (6-7)
Trust me, it pains me just as much as the next guy to see PEN15 in the MotW - but it had to be done. This is essentially a playoff game - win or go home. On top of that Wrinkle has to be feeling good, coming off a big belt win the week before. Not to mention that The Fortune Cockies have been on a downward spiral ever since they acquired Hopkins <----- Black Plague. Henry went down, Hopkins was injured, Waller went down... and TFC, which started 5-1, end their season going 6-1 and the only win they had they scored the 2nd lowest point total and just happen to be playing the lowest. Some people say this is a clear easy win for PEN15 Wrinkle. Some people say TFC is the worst team in the league right. You know what I say? THEY ARE RIGHT. But guess what.... even David slayed that fat ass of a giant... time for TFC to rise up.
***It was discovered after writing this that PEN15 has a chance to make the playoffs and have scored the least amount of points in the entire season..... something is deeply wrong with that***
Prediction: The Fortune Cockies

Teardrop TD's (5-8) v Dixie Normous (5-8)
This is a matchup of two teams that are knocked out of the running - who really gives a f*ck about this? Flip a coin and move on. One team has had the top RB in the league and is 3-1 in the last four weeks. However, that special RB - not in this week! As well as multiple other positions - look for Teardrops to win this week in a matchup that means nothing.

Gruden's Emails* (10-3) v The J-Bones (6-7)
Both of these teams are in it... both of these teams could use a win. Emails needs a win to keep their hopes alive of getting the 1st seed. The J-Bones needs a win to keep their hopes alive of getting that 5th seed - or do they want the 5th seed? Some may say that the 6th seed is better.... avoiding the 1st seed in round 2 (if they make it there). Some would say avoiding one of the top 3 teams in the first round is better. No matter what happens - both of these teams are in the playoffs.

Bluffton Backup Backups** (7-6) v Aaron Rodgers Blows Llamas*** (5-8)
Bluffton Backups is the only team with something to play for in this matchup. ARBL is the team that had so much promise - but for some reason just couldn't get it together. To think that a team with 3 belt wins will not be in the post season is absolutely crazy. However, that is what happens when you have a boom-or-bust team. On the flip side BBB had a stretch that was unparalleled and now they are fighting for a seed in the playoffs - they are already locked in. With a win they lock up the 5th seed and if they lose they fall danger of dropping all the way to the 7th seed. Although, shouldn't be a worry.

Hoosier Daddy** (10-3) v Belt Fairy* (3-10)
Once again we have a match where only one team has something to play for. Hoosier Daddy wins and they pretty much lock up the 1st seed and the regular season title (and $20). Luckily for them, they happen to be facing the Belt Fairy - which means there is a good chance they are taking down the belt this week. Look for this to be a blowout - even if Allen and Diggs have to deal with 55+ winds.
Prediction: Hoosier Daddy

Ankle Holster (4-9) v Country Roads** (8-5)
Country Roads is 2nd no matter what happens - they have locked up their division and they can't get the 1st seed. With that being said, it would be nice to go into the playoffs feeling good about the lineup and the only way to do that is to knock off a team that has crushed the playoff hopes of two teams in two weeks. Shouldn't be a problem right? Right? RIGHT? Riiiiiiiiiiight.
Prediction: Country Roads
Mystery Guest: Ankle Holster
Hernandez Hit Men* (9-4) v Church Vans (7-6)
Both of these teams are in the playoffs and both of these teams have something to play for. But let's play something out....
Let's say that Hernandez Hit Men lose they now sit at the 4th seed. With a win by Church Vans and a loss by BBB - the Church Vans should be sitting in the 5th seed. This would then create and back-to-back matchup between Hernandez Hit Men and Church Vans. Wouldn't that be awesome? Anything else happens and we don't get to see the back-to-back battle.
Prediction: Hernandez Hit Men

As always, good luck to everyone - except for you PEN15 Wrinkle, may your entire roster burn in a fiery helicopter crash eerily similar to the one that took down Kobe!
