Quick FYI: There were a few stat changes this week, but they had no impact on PFFL game scores, so no stat change update today.
Here we are at the end of another regular season. Following this week’s action, I’ll try to spend some time looking at the trends in the league this year. I’m not sure, but it seems like there’s been a little more parity scoring-wise, at least among the playoff contending teams. I don’t think any one team was completely dominant from the top to bottom of their roster. It’s weird, but it almost seems to mirror the NFL where there are a few not-so-good-at-all teams and then a bunch of decent-to-great teams depending on which week you look at them.
Week 14 Matchups
- Duany Duany Tanning is looking for a split in their season series with Kramerica, after suffering an 11-point loss back in week 8. Kramerica has won three straight in this matchup, but DDT has won both week 14 meetings (in 2005 and 2006). The winner this week takes a one win lead in the 9-game all-time series.
- TKD looks for the season sweep of SIAP this week. A sweep is a rare occurence when these two are in the same division. This is the sixth time they have shared a division home, and 5 of those times, the season series has been split. The only exception was SIAP’s sweep in 2000. This is the 15th career meeting between these two, with each currently holding 7 wins.
- Post Mortem and Camel Toe meet for the second time this year and third since CT joined the league. In week 14 of last season, Camel defeated Post by 15, while Mortem crushed Toe by 29 7 weeks ago.
- Hedfullalicker is looking for a fourth straight win to end the season when they take on The Hip. The Hip leads the career series, 9-6, but Hedfullalicker won their week 3 matchup by 30. This is the fifth time these two have been in the same division, and a Hip win would make them 5-for-5 in season splits in those seasons.
- Double D and Turd Ferguson meet in the final week of the regular season for the third time. Turd beat DD in week 14 in 2005, while DD won last year. Turd leads the all-time matchup, 6-2.
- The Jedi Masters and their faint playoff hopes meet up with the eliminated Chain Smokers this week. The Jedis beat CSPJ back in week 8 by 51 and lead the historical series, 3-2. Their in-season schedule matches the only other season in which they were in the same division — 2004, when the Jedis won the week 8 and 14 meetings.
- Sharp as a Bowling Ball looks to complete the sweep of Winning Beer Money in their season series this week, and end the year on a 4-game win streak. SaaBB has beaten WBM two straight times, but the overall series is knotted up at 5-5-1. WBM’s last win over SaaBB came in their only other week 14 meeting, in 2006.
Playoff Races
I’m not going to repeat my insane ramblings from the week 13 recap, so if you’re interested in getting sort of an idea about this week’s playoff scenarios, check out this article.
Record Watch
- Post Mortem and Tappa Kegga Day are both looking to go 7-1 in division play. This would put them into a tie for 4th on the list of best division winning percentages. TKD has finished 7-1 in division play twice, in 1997 and 2005. Post Mortem’s best only division record with more than 6 wins was in 1997 when they went 8-0.
- SIAP and Post Mortem have already locked up spots in a tie for 7th best non-division win percentage with their 5-1 performances outside their respective divisions.
- If Post Mortem defeats Camel Toe, it will mark only the 4th time that a team has won 12 or more games and the 3rd time a team has lost 12 or more.
- The Jedi Masters need 105 points to crack the top 10 season point totals while Camel Toe needs to score less than 107 to get a spot on the 10 worst season point totals list.
- The winner of the SIAP-TKD matchup will get their 90th regular season win and sit in 2nd place on the career regular season wins list. The winner also becomes only the 2nd team in PFFL history to hit 50 division wins. If SIAP wins, it will be their 100th win overall.
Preview Babe
Those of us who went through puberty in the 80′s remember Carol Alt from the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues. Well, she just turned 48 and decided that now would be a good time to pose for Playboy. So, yeah, here she is. Naked. At 48 years old. Sure, there is probably a fair amount of image cleanup going on here, but she still looks pretty dang good.
