Wow, this past week was brutal. 3 teams all got officially eliminated from the playoff race. Dan, Eric, and Jung, prep your teams for the gift card bowl.
Cho and Paul look relatively safe even though they TECHNICALLY haven't locked in their place. However, Cho leads Jon (the only current outsider who can still sneak in) by over 140 points. There's absolutely no way to make up that differential. Also, while not as massive, Paul leads Jon by over 80 points; another safe margin. This leaves 3 teams fighting for 2 spots: Biggie, Mike, and Jon. Obviously a loss by Jon auto-clinches for Biggie and Mike (and this might happen as Jon plays Todd Gurley off a bye), but in case he does win and one of the other two drops a game (Biggie plays Simon, currently 1st, and Mike plays Chris, currently last), the points tiebreaker will come into effect. Those teams are separated by less than 30 points, with Biggie and Jon (the 2 most likely to be fighting for the final spot) separated by fewer than 4 points.
What does this all mean? It just means if Jon wins and Biggie and Mike lose, one of them is going to upset that they're playing for a gift card when they should be fighting for a 4 figure payday.
Could I have written more for this post? Possibly. But honestly, I was kind of hoping that Dan and Eric would win, Biggie and Jon would lose, and there would be more drama heading into week 13. Instead, we're left with a 3 team race. I'll save my long write-up for the playoff preview next week when the seeds are set.
Good luck to all!
