Here’s the situation. One game left in the season. Chris and Tim have clinched division titles. Derek, Frankson and Brian are the remaining contenders for the two wildcard spots. Derek and Frankson are both one game ahead of Brian.
Brian would need to have Derek lose and would need to win the last game and outscore Derek by 176 points this next game to get in. Brian would need to have Frankson lose and would need to win the next game and outscore Frankson by 57 points this next game to get in.
*Week 13 Review
Fantasy football is hard to predict. I get blown out to Alex when I thought it was the easiest game remaining on my end of season schedule. I didn’t think I had a chance against Derek but I managed to beat him. Derek has been relying on Bowe and Lloyd down the stretch. But they sure let him down this week. Bowe is going to have games like this. The change in coaches in Denver doesn’t Bowe well for Lloyd either. I lucked out with Hillis having a bad game too. That Monday night game was annoying. The Jets missed one FG and then went for it on 4th instead of kicking it resulting in a turnover when I needed just one more point for the win. It took from the end of the 1st Q until the middle of the 3rd before I got that final point. I got stuck playing my own picks off the wire this week. Except for Bradford, they played out. I’m just glad I got this must win game under my belt because Brian is on a tear.
Brian embarrasses Dave by 55 points. More than Dave scored. Dave didn’t help himself by leaving 18 points on the bench but they wouldn’t have changed the result. Ivory has been fantastic lately but was on Brian’s bench. Hard to fault him for playing T. Jones against Denver over Ivory though.
Tim gets a win over Chris in a game that didn’t actually matter. Looks like AP will finish the season even stronger. Foster might get Tim the championship this year.
Really nice game from Kevin to beat Rhett. Rhett had a few misplays at QB, RB and WR. Orton really tanked this one for Rhett. Even more than Bradford did for me. I heard Indy signed Dominic Rhodes again. I’m still waiting for Rhett to pick him up and offer a trade.
Matt gets a win over Alex. This is the kind of game I expected from Alex last week. Alex left some points on the bench but not enough for the result to be different. Matt left a WHOLE bunch on the bench. Bradshaw seems to be toying with Matt. Goes off on the bench and sucks Matt’s left nut when playing. Chris Johnson’s season is really going badly. They must be putting 10-11 in the box against him with nothing at QB in Tennessee.
*Best plays and worse plays
The Chinese started Bradford for 7 points. I knew Steelers vs. Ravens wasn’t going to be full of points so I sat Roethlisberger but 7 is just pathetic.
Jamaal Charles got robbed of a TD this week on some lame ass holding call.
Derek’s waiver wire wonders came up short this week. Hillis, Bowe, Lloyd and Tamme. Oh wait. Bowe was actually drafted by Derek.
Brian makes the right call at QB. Vick outscored Brady. Must be nice having to choose between those 2. Glad I don’t have to face Brian again this year.
The Vincent Jackson experiment, round 2, ends.
Alex starts MSW. MSW doesn’t play.
*Interview – Nothing this week. Once the playoff schedule is set, I’ll send some out.
*Final thoughts
Unless something really dramatic happens last minute, this final week won’t change the playoff picture that much.
