My first attempt at a summary, let's see how it goes.
- THE Nickel City 11-1 (1641pts)
- Eskimo Bro 8-4 (1422pts)
- Show Me Them TD’s 8-4 (1395pts)
- Leatherheads 8-4 (1361pts)
- Hautown Yellowskins 6-6 (1303pts)
- Garropolypse Now 6-6 (1282pts)
- Zeke Squad 5-7 (1328pts)
- Burgundy’s Beard 5-7 (1285pts)
- Don Brosco Eagles 4-8 (1237pts)
- Matty Ice Ice Baby 4-8 (1193pts)
- Pretty Dirty 4-8 (1118pts)
- Cooperhead Road 3-9 (1117pts)
The Nickel City with a very strong year securing his first-round bye weeks ago securing his promotion to tier I next yr. The second bye is still up for grabs between 3 teams (Eskimo Bro, SMTT, Leatherheads) and the second place is large in Tier II as if THE Nickel City wins the playoffs too, 2
nd place gets promoted to Tier I.
Spots 9-12 are out of the race, with Pretty Dirty able to play spoiler this week, and Cooperhead Road, Matty Ice Ice Baby, and Don Brosco Eagles prepping for their consolation playoff journey.
The playoffs are down to spots 5 and 6, with 4 teams fighting it out to get in. There’re a few scenarios so I’ll try and make heads and tails of it.
Hautown Yellowskins and Garropolypse Now control their own fates, they win, they’re in. With 21pts separating the two, Garropolypse Now needs a big week 13 to leapfrog HY.
(2) Eskimo Bro vs (8) Burgundy’s Beard
Eskimo Bro wins, with a good week in points, can get that 1
st round bye with a 2
nd place finish. Burgundy’s Beard needs luck and a big week to sneak into the final playoff spots. With a Hautown Yellowskins, Garropolypse Now, and Zeke Squad loss, and out pointing Garropolypse Now this week they’ll get the final playoff spot. Eskimo Bro has been the definition of hot and cold the last 3 weeks, averaging 132.3pts the last 3 weeks, but has had 1 week at 89.3pts, and another week 178.42pts. Burgundy’s Beard has strung 3 loses in a row averaging 101.56pts in those loses.
Eskimo Bro is projected to win 120-109, Burgundy's Beard is in for an uphill battle.
(3) Show Me Them TD’s vs (5) Hautown Yellowskins
Hautown Yellowskins win, they’re in. SHTT with an Eskimo Bro’s and Leatherheads loss secures him a 2
nd place. He can become 2
nd with every 8-4 team winning but needs big points to leapfrog Eskimo Bro being 27pts behind. Show Me Them TD’s is averaging 111.95pts the last 3 weeks is the favourite as Hautown Yellowskins averaged 101.7pts the last 3 weeks. However, SMTT had a tough week in week 12 with 84.02pts, and Hautown had a strong week with 129.92pts. This should be an interesting week. This games going to be tight. with likely an upgrade in defense coming for SHMTT, having a 119pt projection should edge Hautown who will be around 115pts, should be tight but
SMTT is the favourite with a 119-115 projected win
(4) Leatherheads vs (6) Garropolypse Now
GN wins, he’s in. Leather head is in the same scenario as Hautown Yellowskins but needs an even bigger week to jump into 2
nd. Leatherheads averaging 116.4pts the last 3 weeks is set as the favourite in this matchup vs GN who has averaged 100.03pts the last 3 weeks.
Garropolypse Now is the slim favourite at roughly a 115-112 projected win. Very easily can change! Tight matchup with a rested Gurley coming off bye for Leatherheads, and GN having Woods and Cooks makes that LARams game huge.
(7) Zeke Squad vs (11) Pretty Dirty
Zeke Squad needs a win, and Hautown Yellowskins, and GN to lose, and a loss from Burgundy’s Beard helps. Averaging 128.8pts/week the last 3 weeks, Zeke Squad is set as the favourite in this matchup vs Burgundy’s Beard who has stumbled the last 3 weeks averaging 94.4pts. Zeke Squad hit a massive break for this matchup, as Pretty Dirty's 1st round pick in Melvin Gordon is out for the matchup! With early projections,
Zeke Squad is the Favourite.

I know I said yesterday H2H is the tiebreaker, but I miss-read it, the playoffs tiebreaker is H2H, the standings tiebreaker is points. Sorry on that guys.
