Hopefully everyone had a great Thanksgiving with plenty of food, family, friends and football. Based solely on an incredibly inaccurate prediction regarding the Bears-Eagles game on Sunday, my PFFL team was not thanks-worthy. I think my bench would’ve won a lot of games this week though. Oh well… I think this is the good thing about playing in multiple leagues.
Week 11 Highlights
- CSPJ won their 9th in a row with a sound beat down of Kramerica
- Double D earned a season split with DDT in blowout fashion
- The Hip threw a wrench in Hedfullalicker’s playoff preparations, earning a split of their season matchup in the process
- Uh oh, is Camel Toe going to fade out of playoff contention again? TKD beat them this week to split their two-game division series this season
- Post Mortem laid a turd and got beat by Turd Ferguson, who earned the season sweep
- The Jedi Masters continued their late season run, winning their third in a row and beating SaaBB for the first time since 2007
- Winning Beer Money extended their all-time series lead to 12-6 over SIAP
Not sure what was going on this week, but 3 of the 7 games featured teams getting their first win over an opponent in 6 years.
Week 12 Highlights
- CSPJ simply cannot be stopped. Their 10th straight victory came over Hedfullalicker in a high-scoring matchup
- Camel Toe won their first game ever over Double D, in three tries (all in even numbered years, oddly)
- DDT had not beaten Winning Beer Money since 2004, but ended that losing streak in grand fashion, with a 152-83 blowout this week
- The Hip needed every last decimal point this week to beat The Jedi Masters for the first time since week 12 of the 2004 season
- Kramerica’s starters scored 68, Post Mortem’s starters scored 55, Post Mortem’s bench scored 98. Post Mortem sighed
- Turd Ferguson earned their first win over SaaBB since 2004, and put themselves right back in the playoff hunt
- SIAP got back to .500 with a season-split-earning win over Tappa Kegga Day in the 19th game of this long-time rivalry
PFFL Survivor
DDT bowed out of Survivor in week 11 with 85 points, by far the most for an eliminated team this season. In week 12, SaaBB picked the wrong week to struggle and was the final team eliminated from the island.
So it will be CSPJ and Double D in the Survivor finals. $100 to the winner, $40 to the loser in a two-week cumulative point showdown. CSPJ has twice been the Survivor runner-up, while Double D was a runner-up in the competition one time. One of them will get their first Survivor necklace.
Record/Milestone Watch
- The Hip’s 0.28 point win over The Jedi Masters in week 12 goes down as the 5th closest game in PFFL history
- CSPJ has 11 wins. Only 4 times has a team finished the season with more than that, highlighted by The Jedi Masters’ 13 victories in 2007
- DDT joins a big list of teams who have notched 3 high point weeks in a season. Only 9 teams have acquired more than that, with three teams getting to 5.
- CSPJ’s 10-game win streak is the fourth longest in league history and could still tie The Jedi Masters’ record 12-game streak from weeks 3-14 of the 2007 season.
- CSPJ became the 4th team to score 10,000 points in all games (regular and playoff) in week 11
- CSPJ became the 14th team (tied for 4th fastest) to score 5,000 points in division play in week 12
High Point Race
You can view the complete standings here, but all you really need to know is that CSPJ has a 142 point lead with 2 weeks left. It’s going to take something crazy to keep CSPJ from the cash here.
High Points Against Race
Camel Toe is leading the race for the bonus prize of having the most points scored against. The full list is here – with an 82 point lead, this one seems somewhat unlikely to change as well, but if anyone has CSPJ and DDT left on their schedule, they could move up
Playoff Hunt
There is a lot left to be determined for the final playoff spots, but a few things are certain:
- CSPJ has won their division and will be the #1 seed
- Tappa Kegga Day needs only one more win (or one loss by both SIAP and Camel Toe) to clinch a division crown and the #2 seed
- Either Winning Beer Money or Turd Ferguson will win the Central division and likely #3 seed
- No matter what else happens, Double D and TKD are in the playoffs
- DDT is in the playoffs with a win or a Kramerica loss
- SaaBB, The Jedi Masters, Post Mortem and The Hip stand on the brink of elimination. They need two wins and a bunch of help for a chance at postseason play.
- There are 6 teams at 6-6 or 5-7. That’s way too many combinations for me to figure out right now.
Recap Babe
Sara Jaramillo is from Colombia and apparently likes grapes. She would like to congratulate CSPJ on their #1 seed and wish them the same good fortune that Post Mortem had the last two years in that position.
