So to me all that's left is scenarios. The great thing about this year is there's a lot of parity. I've updated the magic numbers but let's throw them out this week because it's all situational now. Here's a few numbers:
3 - teams already made the playoffs (Big Blows, Savannah Pickles, Let's Get Physical)
9 - teams are playing for the last 5 spots
3 - teams need a win OR need 3 of the 5 remaining 5-7 teams to lose (Peligroso, Cantona, Silver Bullets)
5 - teams are 5-7 and need a win AND need a 3- 5 of the 5 5-7 teams to lose. If you are one of these teams and you lose then you need 4- of the 5-7 teams to lose AND you need to win the "Points For" tiebreaker (Silver Bullets, Team Kent, Levanger's Bangers, Replacement Refs, Rain Dancer)
1 - team is 4-8 and would need to win AND need 4 out of the 5 5-7 teams to lose AND win the "Points For" tiebreaker. Not impossible but going to be a tough road.(Spatula City Spatulas)
0 - 5-7 teams play each other today so all 5-7 teams could lose today making today wide open for anyone
Does your head hurt? Mine does. Here, this may be easier to understand:
This is just brilliant. "You need to take some 2x4s and 1x8s and just shimmy it." Props to Mike Reid for the link.
Bill Murray seems to make the right choices. And even if he makes bad choices (See: The Man Who Knew Too Little, Space Jam, Quick Change, Mad Dog and Glory) He still fits in a few brilliant moments). BTW see him in Zombieland. Even if you don't want to watch the movie (which is good if you can stomach the zombie kills) fast forward to his part, it's fantastic. Besides the classics (Meatballs, Caddyshack, Ghostbusters, What About Bob?, Groundhog Day) check out the dramatic work (Lost in Translation, Get Low, Hyde Park on the Hudson).
I especially want to highlight Hyde Park on the Hudson. It's no Lost in Translation but he carries the film, and is the first time I forgot the character he was playing was Bill Murray. Don't even get me started on co-owning the St. Paul Saints.
Just goes to show, if you make film choices based on movies you believe in more than movies you get paid the most for and not be afraid to do some dramatic work, you can keep your integrity and relevance...or you can be Chevy Chase or Dana Carvey.
Here'e hoping you can make choices you believe in over what seems to get you the most gain. Both in life and in fantasy football.
Here's the Power Rankings:
Power Rankings
Let's Get Physical has now made the playoffs and could still get the 1st or 2nd spot. The top spot is Big Blows to lose if they lose and Savannah Pickles win then we're looking at another "Points For" tiebreaker. Special mention to Silver Bullet's who have surged forward with a 4 game winning streak going from 1-7 to 5 -7. Also to Team Kent who has a 3 game winning streak and leads the rest of the league better watch out for in the playoffs as he leads everyone else in the league in Points For with 70 more points than the next highest scorer. Rain Dancer drops significantly after a tough loss last week.
Here's the playoff picture:
Let's see how much this changes after this week. This is gonna be fun. Everyone have a great week! Hope you make the playoffs!
