We're in the last week of the regular season so we have to go over where everyone stands in the playoff rankings right? Let's start with the Golden Toilet Bowl.
Who's Out?
Kevin - 3-10
This team is still scary. Luckily for those of us in the playoffs, we don't have to face it anytime soon. Injuries and a shitty QB situation decimated Kevin's season. Hard to compete when your top three picks are injured for so many games.
Who's not mathematically eliminated, but come on... They done.
Chris - 5-8
Aron - 5-8
Clint - 5-8
Dom - 5-8
All of these guys are a game behind 6th seed and over 100 points forced behind. We've seen teams score close to 200 points before and that's exactly what it would take for one of these guys to get in.
Who's In?
Logan - 10-3 w/ the Weatherford 1st Round Bye
Basically clinched the 1st seed at this point. Would need to lose Chris to have any shot at losing this seeding.
Brady - 10-3 w/ the Watonga 1st Round Bye
Currently sitting at the 2 seed, I would need a win and Logan loss to move up to the 1st seed.
Bryan - 8-5
He can't get the bye so he can finish with the 3rd seed or as low as the 5th seed.
Bruce - 8-5
Look at Brucey making the playoffs two years in a row! He is currently in the 4th seed but could finish anywhere between 3rd and 5th.
Rusty - 8-5
Exactly the same situation as Bryan and Bruce. Currently has the 5th seed.
So...who is left?
Larry - 6-7
He currently has the 6th seed and controls his destiny. If he beats Bruce then he's in.
Austin - 5-8
We went over the missed opportunities Austin had last week. This week he needs some help to get in the playoffs. He has to beat Dom and outscore Larry by 69 points. It's not impossible, but it's close.
Week 14 Game of the Week:
Kevin Top Clint Bottom - Austin vs If Ur Reading This It's Too Late - Dom
I could have chosen Larry vs Bruce this week, but I think this matchup is more interesting. Austin needs a win and 69 points on Larry. Dom needs a win and 130ish points to pass Larry. It's nearly Christmas so anything can happen right?
Here's the deal. Neither team has bye week issues this week.
Austin gets Hurts, Ettienne, both Lions RBs, Mark Andrews w/ his favorite QB on the Ravens staff, and Devonte Smith who has been showing out lately. Looks like a perfect storm, but unfortunately he gets Cooper on the road, where we know he can't put up more than 5 points. If somehow he can break that streak, Austin may have a shot at this.
Dom gets Dak and Lamb vs Houston, Rhamondre against an awful Cardinals defense, but that's about where the dream dies.
You may think you know where I'm going with this, but hold up. No one wants to see Larry in the playoffs.
I'm taking Dom!
Commissioner's Pick: Dom (Commissioner's Record 11-4)
