I hope Randy Moss, Wes Welker, and Laurence Maroney all have simply terrible nights tonight in that bad weather.

They can score 30 points combined and I'll be ok. If they score 30.2 points combined, I'm dead in the water.

I don't like my chances. Randy, if you want to take some plays off tonight that's fine by me.

Stattracker, to me, is very much worth it. I enjoy watching the games and being able to root for my players when say, Greenbay has it at the 1 yard line, seeing flashes of Touchdown with Torry Holt's picture below it. and a +9.10 go up on my point chart.

Not the best start for you thrill. Pats stall out after having 1st and goal from the one yard line. Gostkowski kicks a field goal.

Sounds like they stole from Mizzou's playbook.

Bums Win! Bums Win! Wombats gain 50 points on TfG. Okay Seals, I need a win from you, and I need to have a 200+ point game for my team. I have to gain 125 points on TFG yet to make slot 4. I'm not giving up.

I held on to win by three. Nice week for the Mullets though!

Going into the final week of the regular season, three teams have clinched a playoff spot: Skillz that Thrillz, lazy bums, and Warner's Crunchtime. All three of these teams have identical 10-3 records, so the teams are jockeying for playoff positioning right now. The Thrillz have the inside track on finishing the regular season as the number one team, as they have a ~100 point total lead over the other two teams. But not so fast! Their regular season finale pits them against the lazy bums in what promises to be an exciting game. Which team will assert itself as the favorite to win the GRB Super Bowl?

Warner's Crunchtime does battle with one of the four teams fighting it out for the last playoff spot, and still has an outside chance to end up with the best record in the regular season, but the Cereal Killers have their eye on a bigger prize...

In competition for the final playoff spot are four different teams. The frontrunner for the 4-seed is TimeForGuinness, which broke out to an early lead but has fallen back to the pack by going 3-3 over the second half of the season. Next we have Soda Popinski and Tahoe Hit Men, just one game behind TFG. Both teams had control of their own destiny last week, but were both defeated last week, and with the 200+ point total lead TFG has over both of them, these two teams are all but eliminated.

The best hope for the underdog is The Combat Wombats. The Wombats - led by 1st overall draft pick LaDanian Tomlinson - have put on a late charge to make the playoffs by winning four games in a row, the last of which was over the very team they need to overtake. Should the Wombats win this week against the Camaro Mullets, they will still need TFG to lose to the Loose Seals to even have a chance. If that weren't enough to hope for, the Wombats must outscore TFG's point total this week by 126.15 points to overtake the commanding point total lead he holds. That's a tall order for any team.

It's too far of a margin for me to cover. If I would have played Vince Young last week and picked up Carolina instead of Denver (which I almost did), I would've had 170 points last week, and I don't think an 80 point deficit would be out of the question for my team to overcome. But I don't think I can manage over 160 this week even if I get some luck. Going by my fav fantasy website, this week I have the:
#6 ranked QB (20pts proj.)
#3,4,6 ranked RB (21,21,17 proj.)
#9,15 WR (15, 12 poj.)
=106 points + TE, K, DEF

So I need TFG to completely drop the ball on everything and get about 54 points, which isn't going to happen. So sleep soundly Guinness.

BTW, Thrill, you should be overjoyed you're facing TFG and not me in the first round. Since I've known what I've been doing (about week 9), I've picked a lot of upside players keeping in mind their strong matchups in weeks 15 & 16. I'll be upset if I don't break 120 both weeks with this team.

I think it's a bit premature to say that Thrill has the number one seed at this point. He does have the points advantage, but he's going head-to-head against lazy bums in a 1 v. 2 beat down. About the only "sure" thing is that TFG will have the #4 seed.
