Playoff Race Clearer With One Week to Go

Published: Dec 05, 2018

In the penultimate week of the season, the playoff pictures were greatly clarified.  First the MeggaMen eliminated the Sacks on the Beach with a 28-12 victory.  The MeggaMen sweep the Sacks, it's the first time either team has earned a two game season sweep since in this series, since 2000.  The Sacks need to win next week to avoid thier first sub-.500 season since 2004.

With the MeggaMen winning, both Testudos Revenge and Sean Taylor's Ashes needed wins to stay in contention.  Neither accomplished that goal.  Testudos Revenge handed the Fighting Squirrels thier third win of the season, 21-11.  Meanwhile, the STA played the Gallic Warriors.  The best thing that can be said about this game is that it is over.  It ended 11-11, but really that score makes it seem much more exciting than it was (not at all really).  Honestly watching 12 striaght draws at the Chess World Championship was more interesting.  The combined score of these teams would have lost to the Norsemen, by 16.

Speaking of which, the Norsemen secured their division title in five years with a dominating 71-44 performance over Richard's Lionhearts.  The Lionhearts but up a good fight but was really no match for the combination of Mahomes, McCaffrey and Keenan Allen.  The Lionhearts are still in contention but need help next week to make the playoffs.

In a match-up of playoff teams, the Fightin' Bitin' Beavers defeated Trump Molests Collies, 53-10.  Bobby Wagner posted the second best performance ever by a LB with 35 points.  Warren is now on a three game skid.  While Steve wins his second straight division title.

Finally, the Amish Electricians beat the Crusaders, 24-11.  These teams could rematch in the Toilet Bowl.
