Alright, let's get into it.
WEEK 13 PAYOUT WINNER
Right on the Money - Team closest to their projected point total (over OR under)
Tie: Jared & Jere - .95pts
Wild. The matchup of the week, a do or die game, and they both end exactly .95pts under their projected score. It's been a long time since we had a tie in a weekly payout, but as I state every year, Jere and Jared get to decide the tiebreaker, or to split the $20. Personally, chopping $20 is like kissing your sister, you just dont do it, but the decision is now in their court.
Records going into week fourteen with the extra wins added. Spencer: 18-8
Nick: 15-11
Justin: 15-11 Jared: 11-15 Jere: 7-19 Nathan: 18-8
Worzie: 15-11 Commish:14-12 Probst: 12-14 Ryan: 7-19
START OF THE WEEK
Commish, Ezekiel Elliott - 13.pts
The RB room is grim after losing JayTay to an injury. With his entire bench on a bye week, Commish resorted to Zeke in a tight spot. Rhamondre getting injured allowed Zeke to eat, finishing with 13.20pts was just enough to help scrape by the league leader. Not the sexiest SoTW candidate, but the most valuable.
BLUNDER OF THE WEEK
Nathan, Jaguars Defense - 4.75pts
Anytime you have an opportunity to play a defense against a backup QB, its enticing. But Jake Browning was no typical backup on MNF. He balled out, lighting up the Jags defense for 34pts. The Jags may just be a pretender team as their defense continues to allow heavy points to good offensive teams.
THE LEAGUE POWER RANKINGS
New top dawg.
1) Goodell 2.0 ▲1: New top G after beating the league leader.
2) LBJ = GOAT ▼1: Averaging 108pts over the last 5 weeks.
3) Bed, Bath & Bijan ▲1: Getting hot at the right time?
4) Me & Mahomies ▼1: New pretender team?
5) Romo's Revenge --: Roller coaster season continues.
6) Aiyuken --: Has a win-and-in playoff scenario.
7) Mutant Njigba Turtles --: Must win but also needs some help.
8) Skyy's Out, Thighs Out --: Another must win but needs Justin to lose.
9) Hall of Shame --: Officially dead.
10) Mile High Magic --: Dead, dead.
MATCH-UP FOR WEEK 14
Jared (5-8) vs Justin (5-8)
The final fight to get into the playoffs starts now. Justin just needs to win and he's essentially locked himself into a playoff spot. Jared will need a little extra help but can play spoiler, regardless. If Jared does find himself with the final playoff spot, he will be the first 0-4 team to make it.
Commish went 3-2 this week, bringing his overall total to 35-25.
Week Fourteen Predictions
Commish vs. Probst: Commish
Jared vs. Justin: Justin
Worzie vs. Ryan: Worzie
Jere vs. Nick: Nick
Spencer vs. Nathan: Nathan
WEEK 14 WEEKLY PAYOUT
Photo Finish - Team that beats its opponent by the smallest margin of victory
All about winning. Final week of fantasy for four of you. Good luck this week, except you Probst. As your former best man, I feel bad I have to put you down like this.
