And just like that we are in the final week of the regular season.  Byron's Boyz have secured the Sharks Division and Stafler has secured the Bobcats Division.  Speed's Bumps and Goof Troop have secured a playoff spot and will battle for the Goats Division title.  The final two spots are up for grabs and it is win and in for GPs Players, Toughes, and Hippopotami Stampede.  The Toughes and Stampede face each other and the winner take one of the final spots.  If GPs Players fall to the Bumps, then the final spot will become a tiebreaker between them, the loser of Stampede/Toughes, and possibly the Dust Bunnies and Denny's Benny's. Swany's Stompers joined the Filet-O-Goats and Chads Team as eliminated after week 13. The Toughes have scored 968 points which is 141 more than second highest scoring team, Speed's Bumps, and could miss the playoffs.  The entire playoff picture is shown below. The league average through 13 weeks is 61 points per game.  Denny's Benny's put up 90 points in week 13 for high score. Chads Team fell to 1-12 with another loss scoring the lowest total for a week in the more than 20 years of the league.  A. J. Brown has been a disappointment this season, but his big week 13 kept the Players playoff hopes alive. The front runner for Player of the Year is still Jonathan Taylor, but with only 7 points in the last two weeks has put the playoffs for Toughes in jeopardy. The trade deadline has now passed.  On to week 14 and the final week with byes.  The playoffs start next week!

The waiver wire option is used until Wednesday at 10:00.  Then, starting Thursday at 3:00AM, the add/drop option is used.  The waiver wire order for the week is posted under “reports/waiver wire”.  The players added and dropped are found on the site in the transactions tab.  Dropped players are not eligible for pick up until the following week.  If there are any issues or questions with scoring, wait until the league verifies stats, usually on Thursday afternoon.  If you think there is a mistake after that, let me know and I will check into it.  Just as a warning, you may not want to drop a player during the waiver process prior to Wednesday 10:00PM in case you don’t get the desired player to replace him.  Also, remember to put in a tie-breaker.  I would hate to see a game decided by this.

Check the web site for the weekly poll.  Each week I’ll try and put a poll on there to see what our league thinks about certain things sports.  As always, if you have any questions or issues on anything let me know.  Remember scores are not official until after the NFL verifies statistics.
