Whos in?
The playoff teams are just about decided, the only spot that is still theoretically up for grabs is
the 3rd spot in the AFC. The following teams have clinched a spot:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Jake
Jacob
Rendon
Courte
Bates

That final spot will be between Brad and Brent, the chances of Brent making it into that final
spot are somewhat slim. With a 3-8 record Brent is still in the running for the playoffs, but the
only way that he can accomplish that is if he wins out and Brad loses out. But that is not all,
since Brent lost to Brad the first time around he does not own the tie breaker, so if he wins out
then he would beat Brad and that would mean theyre split. When head to head records are split
then the tie breaker goes to total points for, and at this point Brent is behind Brad by 97.5 points.
So if Brent wants to make the playoffs then he will need to win out, have Brad lose out and then
he needs to out score Brad by 97.5 in the final 2 games. But if Brad beats Brent this week then
Brad is officially in.

How Can I get the bye?

NFC:
The bye is still up for grabs in this division since all 3 teams are all so close to one another. So
here are the scenarios for that:

Jake: As long as he doesnt lose both of his next two games then he will get the bye.
Jacob: He needs to win out and Jake needs to lose out.
Rendon: He needs to win this week, and Jake needs to lose. Then in week 13 he needs to
beat Jake and Jacob needs to lose (because Jacob has a commanding lead when it comes
to the points tie breaker). If that happens (which I give a 5% chance to) then he would get
the bye.

AFC:
The AFC is a two horse race when it comes to the bye, the reason being that even if Brad wins
out, Courte and Bates are both 1 game ahead of him and they play each other this week so one of
them will win and that will effectively end Brads chances of the bye because he is too far in
points behind Courte (-88.5) and Bates (-78.5).

Courte: If Courte beats Bates this week then he has the bye. The reason being because he
already beat him once this year so that would effectively give him the full tie breaker
over him since he has 2 head to head wins vs. Bates. If he doesnt beat Bates then he will
have to hope that Bates loses his last game to Brandon and that Courte finishes the season
with more points than Bates.
Bates: For Bates to get the bye he needs to beat Courte this week, and then he either
needs to end the season with more points than Courte or he would need to just win his
last game vs. Brandon. If either Courte or Bates win out then they have the bye, its if
they go 1-1 in their final games that could make things interesting.
