With Week 12 in the books, the playoff race in both conferences is tightening — and for some teams, the path forward is beginning to close. With only a few weeks remaining, every point and every win matters as we move toward our six-team playoff format and the battle for league supremacy.

Playoff Format Reminder

As a recap:

Six Teams Qualify

• The top six teams enter the postseason.

• The top two overall records earn a first-round bye.

Wild Card Round

• The remaining four playoff teams (two per division) face off within their division.

Division Championship Round

• Wild Card winners challenge their division’s regular season champion.

• Those winners advance to the League Championship Game.

Championship Game – Week 16

• The final two teams compete for the title, prizes, and bragging rights.

Toilet Bowl

• The bottom two teams in each division face off for the honor (or shame) of becoming the Toilet Bowl Champion—a lighthearted battle with no effect on draft order or standings.

Current Standings

American Conference

The American Conference continues to be a dogfight. Two Dogs and 50 Shades of Great currently lead the pack at 7–5, while Mr. Swift’s stays alive at 6–6. The Maulers remain in the hunt, but Brooklyn looks destined for the Toilet Bowl.

National Conference

The National Conference remains stacked at the top. The Funky Monks maintain control at 8–4, while both the Manklinkoes and Cobra Kai sit one game back. Spanky stays alive at 6–6, while the Amaraqs slide toward consolation play.

Week 12 Scoreboard & Implications

Two Dogs (95) def. Mt. Vernon Maulers (68)

Two Dogs strengthen their playoff hold and move into a tie for the American Conference lead. The Maulers' loss makes their margin for error razor thin.

Funky Monks (96) def. Brooklyn Bombers (90)

Funky Monks stay atop the National Conference. The Bombers once again put up points, but it doesn’t translate into wins.

Mr. Swift’s Fantasy Experience (93) def. 50 Shades of Great (88)

A massive victory for Mr. Swift’s—keeping them firmly in the playoff chase while knocking 50 Shades out of bye-week contention for now.

Cobra Kai (87) def. Spanky Rookies (81)

Cobra Kai tightens the division race, while Spanky drops to .500 and remains in a fight for the final postseason spot.

Manklinkoes (98) def. Amaraqs (95)

A thriller. The Amaraqs put up a strong score but fall just short, sliding further toward Toilet Bowl territory. Manklinkoes keep pressure on the Monks.
