Week 14 Preview

This is shaping up to be one of the best last weeks in FLOF history -- or at least my memory. Only one game has no meaning whatever on the post-season. Not a single division championship has been decided. Two divisions will be decided head-to-head this weekend. Only 2 teams have no shot at the post-season and only 1 of those playoff eligible teams will really need a ton of help.

Ramjets (5-6-2) @ CAPO (6-6-1)

The winner of this game is Right Division champ and the loser goes home. CAPO have been playing better lately -- especially on offense -- while Ramjets have had trouble getting the offense going the last couple of weeks. The winner will be the #3 seed in the playoffs and host a home game next week against the worst wild card team.

Lagers (7-5-1) @ Beavers (6-6-1)

The winner of this game will most likely be a wild card team. Lagers could win the division if Mimes fall and could also sneak into the playoffs if they lose along with Drow and Rednecks. Beavers could win and miss out on a wild card if Drow and Rednecks also win. Neither Lagers nor Beavers have lost in their last three outings. Beavers have been consistently average while Lagers have been hot or cold.

Old No. 7 (6-7) @ Rednecks (6-5-2)

Rednecks are in complete control of their playoff destiny. A win and they will be a wild card. A loss and they go home. Old No. 7 can get in with a win and lots of help: losses from Drow and Beavers. These are also two of the hotter teams in the league right now. Rednecks have not dipped below the league average in pts since week 8 and Old No. 7 are riding a streak of consecutive 90+ pt games.

Mimes (8-5) @ Drow (7-6)

A Drow win here gives them a shot at the division crown and a loss sends them home. Mimes are in one way or the other. A win clinches the division for them while a loss only drops them to a wild card spot. Drow can win and fail to make the playoffs -- should both Lagers and Rednecks win. Mimes have actually been playing pretty poorly lately, having put together only 1 really solid game since week 6 but they've been getting wins anyhow. Drow stumbled with poor performances weeks 9-11 but have come on the last two weeks, especially on offense.

Bill (8-4-1) @ Malleus (9-4)

The two best records in FLOF battle for the Middle Division crown. The loser will settle for a wild card spot (likely the #4 seed). Malleus continues to fire on all cylinders as the season comes to a close -- their last game scoring below the league average was week 2. Bill has responded well to week 11's bad game with 2 strong outings the last 2 weeks.

Flannel (2-11) @ Hamburglers (3-8-2)

Early in the season these teams looked solid. But this game is just a tune up for their inevitable re-match next week in the Toilet Bowl. Hamburglers have shown marginally more spark lately.
