Scrotums (3-5) vs. Mafia (2-6)
Scrotums by 9
Aw, CRAP! I’m favored to win this week, which obviously means that I’m going to lose! The stats don’t lie people – in the four games I’ve been favored to win I’m 0-4. In the four games that I wasn’t favored to win I’m 3-1. The Amish are in the same boat really – in the five games they were favored to win, they’re 1-4; in the three games they were picked to lose, they’re 1-2. And while I haven’t worked the math of late I think it’s safe bet that if the Mafia loses they’re out of the playoffs. I wouldn’t be in much better shape with a loss so this is really a must-win for both teams.
Steal (3-5) vs. Nation (5-3)
Steal by 34
The Nation is coming off a HUGE win and look to continue their momentum as they drive towards the playoffs and hope to make up some ground in the Barbay Division. Defending champ Steal is in a tough spot and needs the win if they wish to have any hope of successfully defending their title. Steal could close the gap a bit here with a win and could claim the tiebreaker as well with little effort – the tiebreaker is very doable for Steal as they lost by only three points (114-111) back in Week Three.
Las Vatas (4-4) vs. Saint (2-6)
Saint by 15
Like the Mafia, Saint is in desperate need of a win if they hope to make the playoffs for the second year in a row. Las Vatas is on a tear of late, winning their last two and four of their last five. Las Vatas defeated Saint by 29 back in Week Five (99-70) and it’s no exaggeration to say that Saint’s season hinges on this game so they’ll not only need to win but win by a sizable margin.
Tom (5-3) vs. Cows (7-1)
Tom by 33
Coming off their first loss of the season, the Cows look to rebound against a strong Tom team. Surprisingly enough, Tom hasn’t collapsed like he usually does so his team being in the driver’s seat is taking some getting used to. Yeah, Fwet is right on their ass right now, but if they just keep doing what they’ve been doing, they appear to be in good shape to claim the division title. A win this week would help the cause a lot.
Fwet (5-3) vs. ‘Gators (4-4)
Fwet by 26
This should be quite a battle with an awful lot of playoff implications. A win by Fwet would allow them to keep pace with Tom (and let them take the division lead if Tom were to lose to the Cows) while a ‘Gators win would lock in a tiebreaker over Fwet and Fwet cannot afford to lose anymore tiebreakers as they’ve already lost them to the Scrotums and to Tom. Not helping matters in the least is the fact that the ‘Gators already have a sizable lead via points for the tiebreaker from their meeting back in Week One when Fwet lost 111-164. It’s going to take a monumental win for Fwet to claim this tiebreaker.
