Attack of Mahomes claims a Third!

 

Just a quick update as we head into the Thanksgiving weekend… big congrats to Attack of Mahomes who claimed their 3^rd Weekly High Score Prize of the season with a dominating 126 point performance!  Timmy had huge games from Travis Kelce (29 points) and Mahomes (of course, 27 pts), along with 30 points from his wide receivers (D. Samuel 14 pts + C. Olave 16 pts) en route to a 29 point victory!  The win moves Attack of Mahomes into first place in the North Division and assures a trip to the playoffs.  Nice job Timmy!!

In other league standings, the North Division can really only play spoiler, as the entire South Division is still wide open.  There is even a scenario where all 5 teams in the South Division could finish with 7 wins, but one of those teams would miss the playoffs.  It could happen where the South Division teams all finish with 7 wins, and the 2^nd place team in the North Division only has 6 wins, so a team with 7 wins would miss the playoffs while a team with a worse record would qualify for the playoffs.  This has never happened in the history of Sacred Sundays, so certainly crazy times!  At this point, any team with 4, 5 or 6 wins needs to win games to get into the playoffs.  Based on how tight the South Division is, it is likely to come down to tie breakers.  As a reminder, here are the tie breakers for divisional and wild card standings:

BEST BENCH

Can’t get away without giving out the Best Bench, especially when it’s not me!  With a solid 27 point improvement possibility, the Week 11 Best Bench goes to… Wyld Ass Monkeys!  Rob needed 3 player swaps to snag his 3^rd (technically 2 ½) Best Bench this season:  J. Williams for C. Patterson +13, C. Sutton for D. Duvernay +8 and D. Jones for J. Herbert +6.

Happy Thanksgiving!
