WEEK 18 FINAL: MICKTASTIC TAKES TITLE; DOUBLE DEUCE WINS SUNDAY BOWL

Week 18 goes to Double Deuce as he finishes the week with +11 defeating Mad Max in the Sunday Bowl.  That was Double Deuce’s 1st weekly win of the season.

Micktastic had a historic season finishing with +50.  The amazing part is that he had a losing POW record going 8-9.   I need to go back into my database and see if +50 is a record, but it’s really close if it isn’t.   Micktastic takes home the biggest prize in MSP NFL history.  In a distant 2nd place is Old School Bandits at +33 followed by Air Jordan in 3rd at +32.

We had 3 players (Lions’ Year, Rondone and Jalen Hurts so Good) who ended at +30 so the tiebreakers come into play.   The first tiebreaker is total POW wins which both Lions’ Year and Rondone had 12 while Jalen Hurts So Good had 9 dropping Jalen Hurts So Good to 6th place.   The 2nd tiebreaker is Monday Night Football wins which Lions’ Year has 10 vs. Rondone’s 9 so Lions’ Year is 4th and Rondone finishes in 5th.

Rounding out the top 8 is Schuetzy in 7th place with +29 and Barry Mcockiner in 8th at +28.   The top 8 receive prizes as shown on the home page.

The Playoffs start next week.  #1 Micktastic, #2 Old School Bandits, #3 Air Jordan and #4 Lions’ Year get a bye week.   Seeds #5 – #20 will participate in a 1 week competition where the top 4 scores advancing to play individual match ups vs. the top 4 seeds.  The matchups in the 2nd round will be determined by each player’s seed.   The following players will participate in the Wild Card Weekend competition:  #5 Rondone, #6 Jalen Hurts So Good, #7 Schuetzy, #8 Barry Mcockiner, #9 Chark, #10 Pooooozar, #11 Chancestradamus, #12 Mister Sam, #13 The Burners, #14 Kliner69er, #15 Big_Rippas, #16 Will I Am, #17 Nateg5791, #18 Mailman, #19 Double Deuce, and #20 Greene Machine.    I will have the spreads for Super Wild Card Weekend out later today.

Trent Sherfield makes an amazing TD catch after Josh Allen beans a Miami linebacker with a pass leading Buffalo to their 4th consecutive AFC East Title.

 

WEEK 18 UPDATE

WEEK 18 PRE-SNF UPDATE: MICKTASTIC TAKES SEASON TITLE; MAD MAX VS. DOUBLE DEUCE IN SUNDAY BOWL
Mad Max and Double Deuce are both +10 going into the AFC Championship Game (aka Sunday Night Football). The Sunday Bowl is Mad Max as Miami vs. Double Duece as Buffalo.

Micktastic currently at +49 has clinched the season title and will be the #1 seed heading into the playoffs. The Old School Bandits at +33 has clinched 2nd place while Air Jordan at +32 clinches 3rd place. It appears Lions’ Year will clinch 4th place as he will win the number of POW wins tiebreaker over Jalen Hurts So Good and Rondone (who can tie Lions’ Year with a Buffalo cover).

The final seedings for 5th place and beyond will not be determined until after Sunday Night Football

The top 4 seeds win prize money and have a BYE for the Wildcard Playoff Round. Seeds 5-8 win their entry fee back and will be in the Wild Card Playoffs with seeds 9-20. Top 4 finishers next week play in individual match ups with seeds #1-#4.

WEEK 17: CHARK WINS IN TIEBREAKER

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
Chark, Dilly Dilly and DMACII end the week with +7, with Chark’s MNF total points pick of 40 is closest to the actual total of 43. All 3 players get credit for 1/3 of a week win which comes into play for standings at the end of the season.
 
Micktastic at +43 seems to be cruising to a season title. The Old School Bandits trails in 2nd at +31. Lions’ Year, Air Jordan and Jalen Hurts So Good are all at +27. Schuetzy is at +26 and Pooooozar is at +24. The top 4 finishers will not only win prize money outlined on the site, but also get a Bye for the first round of the playoffs. Players finishing 5th – 20th place will have a one week competition where the top 4 finishers will advance to face the top 4 in one-on-one matchups.
 
This is where the tiebreakers come into play. The first tiebreaker is POW wins, 2nd is MNF wins, 3rd is weeks won and the 4th tiebreaker between players is last POWs won which will go back as far back as one player winning a POW while the other player loses. I don’t expect it to get that far but want it out there in case it comes down to it.

WEEK 16: BIZARRO MISTER SAM WINS MONDAY BOWL

Bizarro Mister Sam finishes Week 16 at +11 to get his first weekly win.  His alter-ego Mister Sam finishes at +10.

WEEK 15: JAWS TAKES WEEK

Jaws with a +6 takes home the Week 15 prize. This was the first weekly win of the season for Jaws.
Micktastic at +37 still holds the overall lead with the Old School Bandits at +29 holds onto 2nd. Lions’ Year also at +29 is in 3rd while Jalen Hurts So Good moves into 4th at +27.

WEEK 14: POOOOOZAR WINS 2ND WEEKLY PRIZE

Pooooozar’s winning his POW with Tommy DeVito’s Giants gives him a +6 and his 2nd week won this season.
