So lets break down this weekend's action into the 2 most important aspects ...
Division Championships ...
Wes has been in Colts-mode for the better-part of the past 2 weekends, since locking up the Northend Division crown in Week 11 ... As for the Southside crown, it appears to come down to Ray Rice tonight. Gellis needs 37pts from Rice to secure the division title. In the event of a tie or a Mad Dog victory, Murphy would win his franchise's first division crown.
Playoff Picture ...
Raiders have earned a Bye in Week 14, but if Wes loses this weekend, he could see himself slip to #2 in the rankings, as the winner of the Mad Dog-Gellis matchup would end up being the #1 seed (by overall points tiebreaker).
As for Mad Dog & Gellis, I have already mentioned their position ... Win and they are the division champs & earn a bye next weekend.
Demmel still has 3 players tonight (Rodgers, Driver, & GB D), so a 53pt deficit is not out of the question to overcome ... If Demmel wins tonight, he is the #3 seed ... A loss, 6th place (probably).
The Strikers look to be cruising to a Week 13 "W", which would mean that Chad's final playoff position will be determined by the results of the Demmelitions ... If Demmel loses, Chad would end up in 5th place ... If Demmel were to pull-out the victory, then Chad would end up in 6th place.
With a 2pt. lead & Jennings playing tonight, it appears that J$ has all but locked up his seat in the playoffs. Assuming Jilbert wins this weekend, then he will end up either 4th or 5th place, depending on the outcome of Chad's matchup, as well as Demmel's.
Things don't look good for Snapp ... He needed either Chad or J$ to lose this weekend, as well as overcome a huge point deficit. Snapp still has Flacco & Crosby playing tonight, so in the end, Snapp may end up getting close in points, but will be a 1-game off.
REALLY ME ... REALLY???!?!?! Once I am mathematically out of the playoffs, I score 125pts+ a week and go 3-0 ... SWEET!!!
Felicia ends the season respectably ... Just not the Year of La Chica.
As for Burton, I really wish he woulda at least started active players in his lineup ... You don't need to go and pickup players, but at least start the ones who are active on Week 13 rosters (i.e. Vick & Jackson for Bulger & Westbrook this weekend). That woulda made the matchup with Jilbert that much more exciting.
Good luck to all and we will start talking playoffs tomorrow ...
