A couple things we all knew coming into week 13. TBIAC had to win for any chance at controlling the EAST Div winners bracket entry. Grid and Cats were in. LO looked like a lock due to her enormous points lead over the hapless DFUN but, not a done deal. TSMYTD’S and PIGG held their destiny in their own hands. And the one “for sure, no brainier, done-deal”, DSVP is OOOUUUUTTTT!!! In this do-or-die week, some stepped up, some slipped and fell and some (DSVP) just continued to suck.
In the Family Fued, DFUN v PIGG, both teams desperately needed a win. Pigg to get to first place and DFUN to have an outside chance of overtaking LO. 99-67 Pigg. DFUNs dreams are once again crushed by the cruel, fickle gods of the FFL. Pigg somehow is tied for 1st place in the super competitive East ( notice I didn’t say “good” or “strong” or “mediocre” East Divison, cause it ain’t!). AP with 1, Jones 1, Benjamin 4…… You see where this is going. Pigg rode Cam’s 35 all over his kinfolk, much like his Yankee forefathers ran roughshod over the South.
Cats 95-82 over DSVP. End of DSVP. From winners bracket to first team out. Sad.
Grid against TSMYTD’S in a battle between the top teams in both divisions. Some reporters were calling this a championship preview and it lived up to all the hype. Grid slips past 114-11. Great games from both teams, with a season ending injury to M Ingram maybe being the difference. Tanner now has to regroup and hit the waiver wire hard to replace is RB stud. Grid continues to roll (keep praying for injury).
And in the showcase game of the week, LO v TBIAC. LO looking to grab her first seat at the “big-boys” table and TBIAC trying to stay in contention in what can only be described as “the worst division in FFL history” (quote from ESPN Matthew Berry (( don’t actually have proof of this quote)). LO is victorious again, 121-108. Brady and Robinson, 30 and 33 made up for Lacey’s 0. Panthers D (I think the Cats USED to have them) let down TBIAC and put him in a deep, deep, deep fantasy hole!!!
So with one game to play it breaks down like this-
IN- Grid, Cats, LO
OUT- DSVP, DFUN
?- TSMYTD’S, Pigg, TBIAC
The Lucky Bastard Scoring
PF. PA
Grid- 1403. 1141
TBIAC- 1315. 1262
LO- 1303. 1302
Cats- 1260. 1107
DSVP- 1145. 1296
TSMYTD’S- 1143. 1296
DFUN- 1141. 1232
PIGG- 1113. 1187
So far the ” Lucky Bastard” is PIGG with The lowest points scored and 2nd lowest points against but tied for 1st. The “big loser” is TBIAC with 2nd highest points yet a 5-8 record. Cats are 4th in points scored but absolute last in points scored against. DSVP gets the “screwed award” for 5th in points for but first to be out of the winners bracket. LO gets the “even” award at 1303 PF and 1302 PA. This just proves what we all know, the FFL Gods are CRAZY!!!!!
Week 14- if TSMYTD’S wins he is in as long as PIGG doesn’t win and out score him by 31pts. PIGG is in he if wins and outscores TSMYTDs by 31pts and TSMYTD’S loses. TBIAC is in if TSMYTD’S and PIGG lose. So it’s perfectly clear!!
TBIAC, former champion, is looking the Losers Bracket in the face. He must beat Grid this week and hope for losses to TSMYTD’S and PIGG to get to the dance despite the fact he has out scored every team but the current champ Grid. That has got to HURT!!!!!
This is Serious Business FFL
