by Welcome to the final week of the regular season. For some, the playoffs actually start right here! 7 teams are fighting for 3 playoff spots and this is the last week to do it. Let’s take a look at what needs to happen.
Irish Pride 11-1, 1391 points
CLINCHED – The Irish are locked in to the #1 seed. They are playing for a league record this week. A win here would tie them with the 2002 Top Dawgs for the most wins ever in the regular season (12 wins).
The Dawgs finished 12-2 in 2002. So, with a win here, the Irish would actually finish with a higher winning percentage due to one less loss (14 game regular season back then).
Though the Irish can amass a crazy win percentage, there is no way they can top the highest scoring season ever. The 2018 GB Gamblers scored 1609 points in a 12-game season. That was 134 points per game!
REMAINING OPPONENT: Pimps
TACOMAN9000 7-5, 1215 points
TacoMan broke out of his 3 game slump and earned a huge victory that moved him up to the #2 seed. It would take a lot for TacoTruck to miss the playoffs.
To be eliminated, they would have to lose to the Dawgs and the GB Gamblers would have to win. ALSO, the Gamblers would have to outscore TacoMan by 95 points. Possible? Perhaps. Probable? Absolutely not. Consider them in.
REMAINING OPPONENT: Top Dawgs
joe buck yourself 7-5, 1199 points
JBY failed to clinch last week as they got slapped by The Pimps. Joe Fold Yourself fell apart in the playoffs last year. Are they doing it a week early this year??
REMAINING OPPONENTS: Midway Monsters
CAN CLINCH A PLAYOFF SPOT THIS WEEK WITH:
A WIN;
OR
GB Gamblers LOSS ;
OR
Top Dawgs LOSS ;
OR
Wins tiebreaker at end of season. Would then fight for points with: Top Dawgs, Tacoman900, GB Gamblers
Top DAWGS 6-6, 1197 points
Some say it’s destiny as America’s Team is back in the driver’s seat. Dawgs leapfrogged Darque Warriors and GB Gamblers with their win last week. The question is, can they hang on? A tough matchup with TacoTruck this week will tell all.
REMAINING OPPONENTS: TacoMan9000
CAN CLINCH A PLAYOFF SPOT THIS WEEK WITH:
A WIN -AND- GB Gamblers LOSS
OR
A WIN -AND- GB Gamblers win, but GB not scoring 77 points more than Dawgs
WOULD BE ELIMINATED THIS WEEK WITH:
A LOSS -AND- Green Bay WIN
OR
A LOSS -AND- GB Gamblers lOSS -AND PIMPS OR DARQUE WINNING & TAKING TIEBREAKER
GB Gamblers 6-6, 1050 points
Even though the Gamblers have lost 5 out of their last 7 games, they’ve got a decent shot at making it to the postseason
REMAINING OPPONENTS: Darque Warriors
CAN CLINCH A PLAYOFF SPOT THIS WEEK WITH:
A WIN -AND- Top Dawgs LOSS
OR
A WIN -AND- Top Dawgs win, but GB Gamblers scoring 77 points more than Dawgs
WOULD BE ELIMINATED THIS WEEK WITH:
A LOSS
DARQUE WARRIORS 5-7, 1235 points
We thought the Warriors got back on track with that Week 11 win that broke their 4 game skid. But Week 12 came and the the Warriors crapped the bed again.
But, with this crazy season, they’re still alive! The Dark Warriors have a chance at finishing 6-7 and actually making the playoffs. Never in our 25 year history has a team with a record below 0.500 made the postseason. Could this be the year???
REMAINING OPPONENTS: GB Gamblers
CAN CLINCH A PLAYOFF SPOT THIS WEEK WITH:
A WIN -AND- Top Dawgs LOSS
Would then fight for points with the Top Dawgs, where Darque is already leading by 38 points.
WOULD BE ELIMINATED THIS WEEK WITH:
A LOSS
OR
Top Dawgs WIN
MIDWAY MONSTERS 5-7, 1193 points
Scratching and clawing, the Monsters are working on something here. Once left for dead, this team is alive, but needs some help. Teams like the Irish Pride are hoping hot teams like these don’t make it in. Dangerous.
REMAINING OPPONENTS: Joe Buck Yourself
Can Clinch at least a tie for a Playoff spot with:
A WIN -AND- GB Gambler LOSS -AND- Top Dawgs LOSS
Would then fight for points with: Top Dawgs, The Pimps, Darque Warriors
WOULD BE ELIMINATED THIS WEEK WITH:
Green Bay WIN ;
OR
Top Dawgs WIN ;
OR
A LOSS
THE PIMPS 5-7, 1177 points
Looks like The Pimps woke up. Welcome back, Ben. Pimps broke their 4 game losing streak with a big victory over Joe Buck Yourself. They finish the regular season against top team and need a bit of help. Let the drama unfold.
REMAINING OPPONENTS: Irish Pride
Can clinch at least a tie for a Playoff spot with:
A WIN -AND- GB Gambler LOSS -AND- Top Dawgs LOSS
Would then fight for points with: Top Dawgs, Darque Warriors, Midway Monsters
WOULD FINALLY BE ELIMINATED THIS WEEK WITH:
Green Bay WIN ;
OR
Top Dawgs WIN ;
OR
A LOSS
swashbuckling scallywags 4-8, 1101 points
It looked like the Scallywags were going to finish the season strong, but they slipped agains the Irish this past week. They took the loss and have been eliminated from playoff contention.
REMAINING OPPONENTS: Jesters
With a regular season finale against the Jesters, perhaps they can pad that win column by a game.
JESTERS 4-8, 1099 points
Another team who looked like they had it turned around after scoring in the 130’s two straight weeks, the Jesters took the clinching loss last week against the Top Dawgs.
REMAINING OPPONENTS: Scallywags
Looks like they’ll finish the regular season with a Toilet Bowl warmup game with the Scallywags.
