Weekend Preview

Wanted to give a quick weekend preview to you guys:  Especially where it states around fantasy football.  This could be the last weekend where everyone is relevant.

1. Joe (6-2)
4. Shawn (5-3)

3 Rob (5-3)
5 Adam (5-3)

These games are your top rung teams playing it out for postion.  A loss likely keeps all the 5-3 teams in the playoffs, so they are important for seeding and trying to secure a better chance at playoffs. 


2. Hale 6-2)
11. Alex (2-6)

8 Eplin (3-5)
9 Folden (3-5)

7 John (4-4)
12 Jim (2-6)

6 Munez (4-4)
10 Gary (3-5)

Here's where your schedule matters most.  3 games between people at 2-6, 3-5, or 4-4.  So let's play out a couple of scenarios. 

If Alex or Jim loses, they're done.  Folden & Eplin will result in a 3-6 and a 4-5 team, and Munez and Gary could result in two 4-5 teams. 

If Alex, Jim, and Gary win.  We'll end up with a 6-12 that looks like this.

Munez 4-5
Gary 4-5
Eplin or Folden 4-5
John 4-5
Eplin or Folden 3-6
Jim 3-6
Alex 3-6

What this means is that we'll have 6 teams within one game of the playoffs, also everyone would be within 2 games of the 2nd seed (without tiebreakers).  In this scenario only Joe is really safe for the playoffs for the time being. 

Of course it's more likely that we end up with some sort of mixture of this and at least 1 team will be eliminated from contention this weekend.

Survivor Pool & Losers Pool

With 8 weeks down.  We have a little bit of movement in the pools. 

The survivor Pool hasn't changed much, all we have figured out there is that John is 11th and Munez is 12th. 

Me, Alex, Gary, Hale, and Rob are all without a strike and we're all clear of Week 9 having picked the Niners on Thursday night. 

Eplin has 1 strike and also picked the niners.  Otherwise, Folden, Jim, Joe, and Shawn all have one strike and are yet to go this week. 

Losers Pool

The losers pool has had more movement.  Currently the points given out in that one go as follows

4. John
3. Hale
2. Alex
1. Folden

Everyone else has 1 strike, except for Shawn who is strikeless.  Munez, Eplin, Gary, Joe, and Rob are clear of week 9 having chosen Arizona in the Thursday Night game.  Shawn, Jim, and I still have to pick. 

Pick 'ems


Pro pick'em is still pretty tight for hte most part, except for Alex.  Alex has an 8 game lead over me and Hale for 2nd.  Gary is two behind us.  Munez 3, Jim 4, Rob 5, Folden 6. 

In college Munez has a two game lead over Folden, 3 over Rob and Sahwn, and 4 over Alex.  Jim is right behind at 5 back. 

I'll be getting a bonus point update here soon so everyone can see where they stand.  I will even be able to mock up some standings in the next week or two. 

That's it for now.  Have a good weekend.  I'll try to get back after the weekend with some updated College Predictions as we head down the stretch.
