The Pimps are virtually locked in, while TacoMan9000 is already getting his golf game ready. As for everyone else, anything can happen.

THE BIG TAKEAWAYS

1. Five teams are realistically battling for the final two spots.

  • Irish Pride (6-4)
  • Monsters (5-5)
  • Top Dawgs (5-5)
  • Joe Buck Yourself (4-6)

2. WHILE THE MONSTERS ARE IN 5th, THEY have the strongest tiebreaker advantage (Points).

3. A 7-7 record might make the playoffs this year.

4. Darque warriors and Swashbuckling scallywags are technically still alive.

5. Week 11, 12, and 13 will cause absolute standings chaos.

The Final 3 Weeks โ€” Playoff Path Breakdown

Wins matter most.
Points are the tiebreaker.
Four spots. Ten teams. Pure chaos.

Your remaining schedule pits playoff hopefuls against each other constantly โ€” meaning someone is guaranteed to fall, and someone is guaranteed to jump.


๐Ÿ“… WEEK-BY-WEEK MATCHUP IMPACT

WEEK 11 โ€” The Chaos Accelerator

This is a massive week for bubble teams.

Key Games:

๐ŸงŸ Midway Monsters (5-5) vs Tacoman9000 (1-9)

If the Monsters win, they move to 6-5 and apply real pressure on Irish Pride + both 7-3 teams.
They must win this one โ€” and they should.

๐ŸŽญ Joe Buck Yourself (4-6) vs Top Dawgs (5-5)

This is an elimination game.

  • If Top Dawgs win โ†’ they move to 6-5
  • If Joe Buck wins โ†’ they climb to 5-6 and stay alive

โš”๏ธ Darque Warriors (4-6) vs The Pimps (8-2)

The Warriors must shock the world to avoid elimination.

โ˜˜๏ธ Irish Pride (6-4) vs Miami Jesters (7-3)

HUGE playoff seeding and tiebreaker implications.
If Irish Pride win โ†’ theyโ€™re likely back to Top 4.
If they lose โ†’ they could drop to the bubble.

๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ Swashbucklers (3-7) vs Gamblers (7-3)

Gamblers need this one to keep distance from Irish Pride + Monsters.


WEEK 12 โ€” The Separation Week

This week creates the real playoff picture.

๐ŸงŸ Monsters (5-5?) vs Swashbucklers

Likely โ†’ Monsters enter at 6-5, and this could make them 7-5, which practically locks a spot.

๐ŸŽญ Gamblers (7-3?) vs Joe Buck Yourself

If Joe Buck is still alive, this is a heavy-weight must-win.
If the Gamblers lose here, they drop to 7-5 and risk tie-break death.

๐Ÿถ Top Dawgs (??) vs Irish Pride (6-4?)

Another elimination-style matchup.
This game could directly decide the 4-seed.

๐ŸฆŒ Pimps (8-2?) vs Jesters (7-3?)

Possible #1 seed decider
If the Jesters lose 2 straight (vs Pride, vs Pimps) they could drop from 7-3 โ†’ 7-5 and FALL OUT of the Top 4.


WEEK 13 โ€” Judgment Day

Every matchup is meaningful. Nobody gets an easy win.

๐ŸŽญ Jesters vs Tacoman9000 (1-9)

Jesters likely get back into the win column to reach 8 wins unless something crazy happens.

๐Ÿฅท Darque Warriors vs Monsters

Could be:

  • Monsters fighting for a playoff spot OR
  • Monsters already in and knocking out the Warriors

โ˜˜๏ธ Irish Pride vs Gamblers

This is SO BIG โ€” this could easily be the 4-vs-5 matchup for the final playoff berth.

๐Ÿƒ Joe Buck Yourself vs Swashbucklers

If Joe Buck is 6-6, they can absolutely get in with a win + points.

๐Ÿถ Top Dawgs vs The Pimps

Dawgs may need a win to get to 7.
