PLAYOFFS!!!

It’s playoff time!!  Teams that made it in:  American BadAss, BoomGoesTheDynamite, Joe’s Pats, sprouts, Midnight Maulers and Coors Light Drunk Guys.  Congratulations to all of you!  Each of you has earned a $20 bonus for qualifying.  Now you are playing for the big bucks, with the Champion taking home $100 and Runner-up getting $50.

But the big congrats this week go to American BadAss and BoomGoesTheDynamite, who tied for the Weekly High Score prize with 120 points!  This is the first tie for the Weekly High Score Prize that we have had all year, and it only seems fitting that it was between the two division winners.  The last time we had a tie for high score was back in Week 15 of 2008, when Jason and Timmy tied with 98 points.  But well done Jason and Jens!  Let’s see if you can carry that scoring into the playoffs…

I’m gonna be swamped this week at work with 2013 budgeting, so just a few quick notes:

•  Two teams have scored over 100 points in each of the last three weeks:  SOFA KING GOOD and my Scottish Rebels.  How is it that two teams peaking at just the right time are out of the playoffs?  Just doesn’t seem right.

• SOFA KING GOOD was the top scoring team for the regular season (1,223 points) but also had the most points scored against them (1,345).  In terms of the points scored lead, KING outscored the next closest (Boom) by 26, but in points against, KING had 99 more points against than the next closest (Scottish Rebels).  That there is just some bad luck.

• Rob Gronkowski has not scored a single point for the last 2 weeks due to injury, but is still the top scoring tight end in all of fantasy. 

• All teams are still eligible to win the Weekly High Score Prize, so make sure you have your line-up set each week!

• If you need a refresher on the playoff tiebreakers, read any of the past couple weeks articles, or refer to the email that I sent out this week.

Now, no week would be complete without a Best Bench being awarded.  This week it wasn’t even close… with a big 50-point improvement, the Best Bench goes to: the Coors Light Drunk Guys!  This is Shawn’s 5^th Best Bench of the season!  He just really loves leaving points on the bench!  Lol!  This time only three roster moves were necessary:  A. Luck for D. Brees (+28), Arizona for Green Bay (+12) and A. Boldin for M Wallace (+10).  But don’t feel too bad Shawn, even with your optimal line-up, you still would’ve lost Round 2 of the What Do You Know?! Bowl.

Get ready for Week 14!  Man this thing sure flies by…
