FCNPFFL: Week 12 Results

Last week!!!! While most of the playoffs spots have been locked up, seeding has not. There is still a lot to play for throughout the league.

Best news of all...NO BYE WEEKS!!!!

Reminder to everyone as this is Thanksgiving week...there are 3 THURSDAY GAMES with the first one starting around noon so make sure to get your lineups set. I will be available for last minute kicker/defenses switches as always, if needed.

Waivers will be ran as normal late Wednesday night, so don't sleep in too late on turkey day and forget to switch in your waiver picks if need be.

Onto the games:

With everything on the line for me this week (win streak, division and regular season league title) my team came out dead flat against Jason II/Ike. The 49ers led me in scoring with just 14 points as my six skill position players mustered just one touchdown. As for Jason II/Ike, they scored a TD about 8 seconds into Sunday from the Philly D and then got 5 more TDs from their six skill positions. Aaron Rodgers scored 21, Isaiah Crowell added 20 and this game was over before it got started. We now have a tie atop the Back Wall Division at 9-3.

Final Score: Myra's College Fund 86 Escaped Lunatics 67

John bounced back with a narrow win over Adam this week behind 20 from newly acquired Kyle Orton (RGIII would've scored him just 4 and a loss), 19 from Cody Parkey, 16 from Ryan Mathews and 14 from the Chargers D. Adam had a good 2-man showing with 24 each from Zach Mettenberger and Eddie Lacy as well as 11 from the Patriots D, but just 14 more from his other 5 players.

Final Score: The Situation 79 Biggums' 'Basers 73

In our first of two current playoff teams vs. teams trying to get in, Luke and Mike hooked up in a high scoring affair. Mike had his chance to lock down a division title as well as keep his win streak in tact and did everything he could to do so. Unfortunately Bill Belichick, a sleepy Jonas Gray and a porous Saints D hindered his chances greatly. Andrew Luck led Mike with 20, Jamaal Charles stayed hot with 16 and Jimmy Graham and the Rams D add 15 points apiece. Jonas Gray who was late to practice didn't touch the ball or see the field for the Patriots and plummeted back to Earth with 0 points. Through Sunday Luke had nothing going on with 16 from the Seahawks D and 14 from Jeremy Hill, but Monday night got him 63 points from Drew Brees and Justin Forsett!! Not only did he beat Mike, keep his playoff hopes alive, but also notched $10 for top scoring team of the week.

Final Score: Deathtongue 107 Bookoo Barbarians 83

Our second game of 'in vs. out' saw Joel who had the opportunity to tie Mike up for first in the Critter Corner Division took on Alex who was just hoping to sneak into the 6th and final playoff spot. With 26 from the Bills stout D, 21 from Matt Forte, 18 from Josh McCown and 15 from Anquan Boldin, Joel did his part. Alex got 20 from a rejuvenated Bears D and 17 from Mark Sanchez but no TDs from his RBs or WRs cost him and probably ended his season.

Final Score: Nikachu 90 The Worthless Peons 74

Ben needed a win over Nate to stay in the playoffs with Luke's win. Now that he has two starting RBs his team is rounding into shape at the right time and even without Julius Thomas, Ben posted a win with the 2nd highest scoring team of the week. Peyton Manning had 29, CJ Anderson tacked on 23, Dez Bryant hauled in 17 and Gostkowski kicked in 11 additional points. Nate had a very good week as well with 21 from rookie superstar Odell Beckham, 19 from LeSean McCoy (too little too late department) and 13 from Matt Stafford.

Final Score: The Magic Wands 93 The Bounchers 81

Our last two games involved four teams already eliminated from playoff contention:

Jody beat up a scuffling Matt behind 23 from Demaryius Thomas and 19 from Alex Smith. Matt got 14 from Brian Hoyer, but an ugly -5 from the Broncos D.

Final Score: DoggNutz 66 Rainbows & Puppies 38

In the battle of the Nick's...it was G over B thanks to Nick B leaving in 2 BYE week players and an injured Victor Cruz. It's a shame because Nick B has so much talent on his roster too. Just replacing his 3 players with the 3 on the bench would've vaulted Nick B up to 97 points for the week. Instead Nick G earns a win with 18 from the Colts D and 16 from Kaepernick.

Final Score: The Lollipop Kids 67 The Knacks 56

Schedule for Week 13...with scenarios!!!

Jason 9-3 vs. Adam 3-9 (Win and clinch #1 seed, lose and need loss by Jason II to clinch)
Jason/Ike 9-3 vs. Alex 6-6 (Win and outscore me by 89 points or win w/ my loss to clinch #1 seed)
Joel 8-4 vs. Matt 4-8 (Joel- Win and clinch division, lose and well lots of things)
Mike 8-4 vs. Ben 7-5 (Game of the Week)...Mike win and loss by Joel to clinch division; Ben win to clinch playoff spot, win with loss by Joel and 3 way tie comes down to points scored for division title and bye
John 8-4 vs. Nick B 4-8 (John basically playing for seeding at this point)
Luke 7-5 vs. Jody 4-8 (Luke needs a win and a lost by Ben to get in)
Nate 4-8 vs. Nick G 3-9 (Toilet Bowl seeding/participation only)

It looks like Ben has the most interesting week ahead as he could finish anywhere from 2nd to 7th...Bye week to no playoffs. The Critter Corner division has the chance to get really fun unless Joel wants to be a party pooper and just win. Back Wall is pretty cut and dry as I still control my fate because of the 88 points lead...which of course is always a chance to overcome, but still slim.

If anyone sees something with the scenarios that I am missing please let me know. Good luck to everyone and have a Happy Thanksgiving!!! Safe travels if you are out and about. I should have FCNP Holiday party info soon enough. Luke you still owe me $50 with you $10 prize this week.
