SUPERBALL week 14 and the playoffs have started.

This is the last week for the regular season and the first week of the playoffs. BODY SNATCHERS (10-3) are the only team to have clinched a playoff spot. Future Esquire (9-4) is also in, the computer doesn’t see the 2 of the teams at 8-5 play each other so only 2 teams can make it to 9 wins, so Future Esquire is in. The Mack Attack 2.0 (8-5) is also going to get in, The Mack Attack 2.0 is playing dpoe roughriders and dpoe roughriders has a team that sucks. He is not going to beat the The Mack Attack 2.0. The other 2 teams at 8-5 play each other Wardawgs (8-5) vs Headbussas (8-5) the winner is in and the loser is out. So that makes this the first round of the playoffs. Wardawgs (8-5) and Headbussas (8-5) the playoffs start for you this week, the winner goes to (9-5) and makes the playoffs and the loser drops to (8-6) and misses the playoffs by a game. Another good year of fantasy football right down to the wire.

Another good year for fantasy football here at SUPERBALL. 9 out of 12 teams still have the playoffs in reach and no one has sown up a playoff spot yet. 5 of the 6 match ups have playoff imprecation! Let's see what happens in week 12?

This is RIVALRY Week is SUPERBALL

Last week everything is the league tighten up. The bottom four teams all won, three of the top four lost. Mathematically everyone is still alive BODY SNATCHERS could end up (7-7) and Erkdze could end up (7-7) so RIVALRY Week is important to everyone. Let’s start at the bottom with Big Mac taking on Rudeboy, these two have a real rivalry in everything, the loser will have to listen to the other one talk smack. And for the loser all hope is done. Erkdze vs dpoe roughriders, Erkdze has now won 2 in a row and can play spoiler to his boy dpoe. Dpoe roughriders is just one game out of playoff position a lost here his chances of making the playoff are slim. SUPERNUPE who has won two in a row vs Bigtime Ballers who has lost 3 in a row. Bigtime Ballers are free falling, SUPERNUPE has scored well the last two weeks so things don’t look good for the Bigtime Ballers who’s team has gone south . Future Esquire the second place team gets what is like a bye week and a win. Joseph’s Unreal Team is being un managed by Joe. Joe hasn’t managed his team and will be removed next year. The next two match ups have some real meaning in the standings 1 vs 5 and 3 vs 4. The 1 seed BODY SNATCHERS takes on Headbussas who is now in fifth place one spot out of the playoffs. Last week Headbussas beat the 2 seed by putting up the weeks high score. He will have to do about the same to beat the league’s highest scoring team. Wardawgs vs The Mack Attack 2.0 #3 vs #4 a lost here will hurt. A win by Wardawgs and he could be tied with the leaders but a lost will put the Wardawgs in fourth place one game and one spot from missing the playoff. The Mack Attack 2.0 can move into third with a win, a lost and The Mack Attack 2.0 might find itself out. Only 5 weeks left in the regular season and only 4 teams make the playoff. We have a good season going lots for teams in play. LET”S PLAY BALL!

We have some big match ups this week in SUPERBALL.

BODY SNATCHERS take on Wardawgs 1 vs 3 both are (6-2) and lost last week. One will be on a 2 game losing streak and have 3 loses.

Future Esquire (6-2) in second place will battle Headbussas (4-4), Headbussas is now only 2 games away from the leaders, with a win he moves to 5-4 just a game away from a playoff spot.

The Mack Attack 2.0 (5-3) in fourth place goes up against SUPERNUPE (3-5), SUPERNUPE is coming off his best week of the season 133,54 points, last week The Mack Attack 2.0 put up 127.00 points. After SUPERNUPE’s bad start a win here and he could be just a game out of the playoffs.

dpoe roughriders (4-4) vs two time champ Big Mac (2-6), last week dpoe roughriders put up 119.52 points and looks to be rolling to playoff position. Last week Big Mac only had 64.24 points the lowest total of the week and let a winless Erkdze put up a victory. Will the 2 time champ be able to get another win or will dpoe roughriders keep rolling.

The last two match ups 2 (5-4) squads take on 2 (1-7) squads, the only questions here can Rudeboy and Erkdze get another win or will Joseph’s Unreal Team and Bigtime Ballers continue to get all the lucky breaks, both have been out scored but at (5-4) they are sitting pretty and playing (1-7) teams looking to be (6-4).

Every week going forward will be big. This week is really big for a few squads

FIRST HALF RECAP
Ok, we are at the half way point in the fantasy football season. 7 weeks in and 7 weeks till playoffs. So let’s take a look at the standing. 3 power teams at the top, BODY SNATCHERS (6-1), Wardawgs (6-1) and Future Esquire (5-2). These are the 3 highest scoring teams and the 3 at the top of the standing. These 3 all have good teams that should make the playoffs. Now let’s look at the next 2 teams in the standings Bigtime Ballers and Joseph's Unreal Team both are (5-2) somehow? Bigtime Ballers has 602.42 points for and 604.12 points against and is (5-2), 8th in the league in scoring but 4th in the standing. Joseph's Unreal Team has 574.58 points for and 570.14 points against, 574.58 makes Joseph's Unreal Team 11th in scoring in the league and is (5-2), maybe because 570.14 is the lowest points against in the league. 4th and 5th in the standing can magic continue during the second half, we will see. In 6th place one game out of the playoffs is the 4th highest scoring team in the league The Mack Attack 2.0 at (4-3). Then we have 2 teams at (3-4) Headbussas and dpoe roughriders, 2 teams at (2-5) Big Mac and SUPERNUPE, Rudeboy at (1-6) and Erkdze at (0-7).

I think the teams at the top are going to keep rolling and we may have an upset or two and they may lose 3 or 4 games, which means they are looking at (11-3) or (10-4) records. So everybody else is playing for that last playoff spot.

Week 4 recap no undefeated teams left and one team stays winless

According to my draft overview BODY SNATCHERS had the best draft and or projected to go 11-3, this is based on projected points each week without making any changes to your team. Of course we will all be making changes and projections don't always come true. So these comments are for entertainment purposes only. Next is a group of 4 teams that are all projected to go 8-6, SUPERNUPE, Bigtime Ballers, The Mack Attack 2.0 and Future Esquire all had solid drafts and have teams that are projected to fight for a playoff bid. A game behind Rudeboy is projected to go 7-7, and a game behind that Erkdze is projected to go 6-8, both have solid teams and with a couple of good moves they could also be fighting for a playoff spot. Now we get to 3 teams that are projected to go 5-9, Big Mac, Wardawgs and dpoe roughriders the numbers say they have some work to do, but some time numbers lie. And the last two teams are projected to go 4-10 Headbussas and Joseph's Unreal Team, and Headbussas had the first pick in the draft. By the way it is rare that the first pick wins, most winners come out of the 4 thur 7 spots. But the thing is that you can win out of any spot. It looks like everyone has a good team and we should have a good season. Last year with 2 weeks left 8 out 10 teams still had a chance to make the playoffs and the Wardawgs came from the 7 place to make the final four. Let's have a good season and may the best team win!

Your live online draft is set for Sun Aug 24 8:15pm CDT which is 9 days, 5 hours, and 20 minutes from now. Please arrive at least 10 minutes early since your draft will start promptly at the assigned time.

Time to get ready for some football, the first preseason game has been played, the season is under way. Time to start looking for a sleeper or two that might make the difference in making the playoffs or not. I have not set a dated for the draft, I would like to see if we could put together a live online draft? We could set a time and a date everyone get online and do the draft like we should. 6 years I have been doing this league and now I think we have a league that what's to be LIVE! We could do it on a Saturday or Sunday early or late, I need your feedback what is your best day and what day you can't do it. And what time Early, afternoon or late night.
