Game of the Week

Bobby Bruton 135 vs Sack Lunch 120

Yes, there were closer games, one in particular that involved two contending teams. But, this one felt like a big deal, considering their spot atop the standings (2nd and 3rd going into the week), and the firepower that both owners had at their disposal. And, as the only game anyone was paying attention to on Monday Night, these two did not disappoint, putting up the 2nd and 3rd highest scores of the week. In a game to stay in the running for one of the first round byes, Bob never trailed, and locked up his 4th straight win to remain tied atop the standings. Sack's position, on the other hand, becomes a little more precarious. In dropping their 3rd straight game, Sack drops into a 4 team tie at 6-5, which becomes more troubling to Sack when he realizes that two of these 6-5 teams won't make the playoffs. Now, Sack is in good shape as far as total points are concerned (leads the league), but probably wants to win these last two weeks to be safe, and a Gurley bye probably couldn't come at a worse time.

Hot Takes

- Well, Burning Sensations can probably be crossed off as a likely contender. . . maybe. Things are not looking good for the former champ. Yes, they are just one game behind all of the 6-5 teams, but they only have more points than one of them, meaning the Sensations either need to significantly outscore one of the other teams over the next few weeks in case of  a tie, or move ahead of TWO of those teams in the standings. All that being said, you know what would really add to the chaos that is our league this year? The Sensations tagging Sack Lunch with a fourth straight loss this week. If that happens, things will get REALLY weird.

- I don't think Poop's dream of being the lowest scoring team in the league and making the playoffs will come true, but he is definitely making a run at being the lowest scoring team IN the playoffs. If the season ended today he would be just that. His already charmed gets even more charmed in Week 12 as he draws Chiefs AF, the 2nd highest scoring team in the league, in a week when all of his Chiefs are on a bye. This leads to a game between two teams with identical records, where the team that has scored 260 more points on the season is a 12 point underdog. What a time to be alive. 

- Dix is officially in must win mode. They are one of the 6-5 teams, but their only shot is to win both of their last two games, and hope two of the other teams don't, because they aren't particularly close to the other three teams in points scored. Fortunately Dix draws 10th place and lowest scoring team in the league Southern Comfort in Wee  . . . what's that? Dix is an UNDERDOG to SoCo? By 35 points?

That's all for this week. Horrible luck to all of you in Week 12.
