The PLAYOFFS??!! Edition






Ohhhhhhh Yeah!  The time is coming.  That special time of year when friends and family gather together to give thanks for all that they have received over the past year.  But not for us, some of us have Playoffs to think about and no time for that being with family crap.  So this week I am going to do a brief recap of last weeks games in a seperate post and then a look into what each team needs to do to secure a playoff position or knock someone out of one.  So by all means lets get started!

Lions (9-2) 1623.98                Final Games:  Steelers, DaBears

The Lions as of right now have the #1 seed for the playoffs, have secured their place in the playoffs, and a win in the next two games will give him a week 1 bye.  If he is able to win this week it will give him a measurable amount of power by possibly being able to decide whether to win or throw his last game to adjust the seeding.


Titans (8-3) 1568.46               Final Games:  49ers, Assassins


I have already been awarded a seed in the playoffs, but I have a couple of pivotal games coming up.  If I win this week I will claim the first week bye, if not I will have to defeat the Assassins next week in order to do so.

DaBears (8-3) 1421.82         Final Games:  Decapitators, Lions

DaBears already have a spot in the playoffs,  In order to get a first week bye he would need the Lions to lose at least a game and he would have to win out.  He could have his fate in his own hands if he wins this week, because he ends the Season playing the Lions.  If they have the same record it would come down to points.

ArrowHeads(7-4) 1508.36        Final:  Packers, Decapitators 


Arrowheads are sitting at the #4 seed right now and needs to continue to win in order to hold his place.  He has the Packers, Steelers, and Decapitators right behind him trying to take over his spot.  In order to get a first week bye he needs the Lions and Dabears to lose out and he needs to win out.  Not to mention he would still have to outscore them in points for the year.

49ers (7-4) 1370.82                  Final Games:  Titans, Brawlers


49ers as of now have the #5 seed.  He has the chance to win the first week bye if he wins out and the Titans lose out or if the Titans lose one and win one, and the 49ers are able to outscore them in points for the year.  But right now he just needs to concentrate on winning with having the Packers, Steelers, and Decapitators all trying to knock him out of his spot.

Packers (6-5) 1572.48          Final Games: Arrowheads, Steelers


The Packers who started off white hot at the beginning of the year currently find themselves in the last slot for the playoffs.  The Packers don't have a chance to get a first week bye and will be fighting to keep their spot over the next two weeks going up against two teams who are both in need of wins.

Steelers (5-6) 1418.04          Final Games: Lions, Packers


There are a few ways for the Steelers to make it into the playoffs (even though they should have already been eliminated).  One way is for him to win out, 49ers or Arrowheads lose out, and to have more points on  the year than one of them.  The easiest route for him is for the Packers to lose at least one game and for him to win and outscore him on points for the year.  But with the Steelers already being 160 points behind the Packers it is better for him to just win out and the Packers to lose out.

Decapitators (5-6)             Final Games: DaBears, Arrowheads


Can't believe I am even writing that the Decapitators are still playoff eligible, but they still are.  After a miserable start to the season the Decapitators have managed to battle back and might make some noise in the playoff race.  The Decapitators are in the same position as the Steelers but have better points for the year.  They need Arrowheads or 49ers to lose out and they need to win out.  Easiest though would be for the Packers to lose and to take their #6 seed.

Patriots (4-7) 1347.52           Final Games: Assassins, Chiefs


Yes, believe it or not 9th place in the league is not too far out to come back and make the playoffs.  The Patriots have to win out, they need the Packers to lose out and she has to outscore the Packers for points on the year.  Also she can't have the Steelers or Decapitators winning either one of their games.

Chiefs (3-8) 1236.78            Final Games: Brawlers, Patriots

The Chiefs have been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs and this week game is probably to see who can suck worse, but he could play spoiler next week if the Patriots still have a shot at the playoffs.

Bear Down Brawlers (3-8)    Final Games: Chiefs, 49ers 
Another contender for next year, the Brawlers will probably try to lose this week.  But will definitely have an opportunity to knock the 49ers out of the playoffs next week.

 Gridiron Assassins (1-10)      Final Games: Patriots, Titans
Has the potential to effect the playoffs in the next couple of weeks and possibly still can, but it would help if he would put in a starting line-up.


The Golden Plunger
It has been brought to my attention that the golden plunger has become so coveted that it should be offered as the prize for winning the Toilet Bowl and not awarded to last place.  
Let me know what you think we should do with it.  Leave a comment below or text me and let me know.


As always good luck to everyone this and Go Titans!!
