Week 15 Mr. Fantasy

Week 15 Mr. Fantasy This is where it starts to get interesting. While two teams have clinched for sure, and one team is close to clinching, there are 5 teams fighting over the final three wildcard spots and two are gonna be unhappy. Here is a playoff summary CLINCHED:
Suicide Kings and Dragon Slayers- Both have clinched their division. ALMOST CLINCHED Sandbaggers- One more win or a loss by Show Me the Money, TNT Explosion, or the Semolina Pilchards gives this team a playoff spot, and either Show Me or the Pilchards are gonna lose this week since they play head to head. FIGHTING FOR THE WILDCARDS Jaguars (8-6), TNT Explosion (7-7), Show Me the Money (7-7), Semolina Pilchards (7-7), and the Undertakers (6-8).
Jaguars (+22) at Suicide Kings Suicide Kings are closing to clinching the best record overall, and are the hottest team in the league with seven wins in a row. Even if they finish tied with the Slayers who are a game behind, they win on tiebreakers. Jags have fallen on rough times since McNabb got hurt, losing three straight. At one point they led their division and were a major force to reckon with, now they are the sort of team that wishes they didn’t have to play the Kings this week. Kings win another one on their road to the Fantasy Bowl as they again win the weekly pot with a 118-96 victory over the Jags, leaving the Jags in a three way tie for the wildcard spots, with critical division matchups in the final two weeks. TNT Explosion (-14) at Undertakers TNT seemed to have the fifth playoff spot locked up, but are now competing for anywhere between the four and six position. They are competing for the sixth position cause they have been losers of two straight, but things are looking up cause they play the Undertakers this week. Undertakers and Pilchards unbelievably are the #3 hottest teams in the league with two game win streaks. Somehow, even though they only average 83 points a game, Undertakers have climbed back into the playoff race. However this is probably the week where it ends. While TNT has not been getting much better production lately being they only average around 83 also, they still should have enough uumph to beat the Undertakers. In a close one, TNT moves up to a tie with the Jags for the wildcard spots with a critical end of season game between the two of them, as they beat the Undertakers 86-72. Semolina Pilchards (+42) at Show Me the Money Somehow, the Pilchards have broken the Pilchard Probability Factor and actually had a streak, and a winning one at that. Before the current two game win streak, the last streak was a two game losing streak to start the season. For the first time all year, the Pilchards have reached .500. Show Me has come out of nowhere to leap into a tie for the final playoff spot. Even though Show Me average less points than ANY OTHER TEAM, somehow they are 7-7. So the Pilchards are due a loss, cause it is impossible to imagine that they would win three in a row and Show Me will obviously score more than they have all season. The Pilchards average 98 offensive points and Show Me 80. The problem is that teams average TRIPLE DIGITS against the Pilchards, where as Show Me are more the league average with 84 points scored against each week. Show Me roll onto the playoffs while the Pilchards are virtually eliminated, when Show Me crushes the Pilchards, 114-70. Sandbaggers (+1) at Mighty Caesars Sandbaggers are desperately trying to clinch their division, while the Mighty Caesars are just plan desperate for a win, since they were basically eliminated from the playoffs last week. Both teams average just about the same weekly score, however the Sandbaggers shoulda lost 5 of their wins, and the Caesars shoulda won 5 of their losses. At any rate, one would think that the Sandbaggers would kick the Caesars ass this week, but Mr. Fantasy has a hunch and the Caesars are due for a win after losing their last 6 games. Caesars pull out the close victory, 97-96. What’s the Point (+33) at Dragon Slayers Dragon Slayers virtually doubled their points with Ricky Williams in the Monday Night Game this past week. What’s the Point earned their second victory of the season, and the best part is that they totally smoked TBFC. The Slayers are the second hottest team right now, after the Slayers, and they just have to much fire power for the Point. Enjoy the winning feeling while you can Bob, cause the Slayers are gonna crush you this week, 110-77. C&D TD Makers (-7) vs. TBFC Both teams were pretty much eliminated with losses last week. This game is a real ho-hummer, in that it does not matter in the least as far as playoff standings go. This is simply for bragging rights. I think that Smitty lost to Goydish and Morton already, so it would really take the cake if Dennis and Cher kick his ass. C&D TBFC destroyers will sink the Smitty/Mulcahey TBFCers and will earn a year of bragging rights, when they beat TBFC 83-76. |
