Week 10 Wrap-Up – 2018

On a normal week you’d feel pretty great about scoring 163 points, but not this time. There’s currently four teams all within a half of a point of each other that will be impatiently waiting for stat corrections later this week. The most important of these games is Fluffy vs Shitty where the winner gains a significant chance of making the playoffs. That wasn’t the only surprise of Week 10 – Shenanihads finally exploded in the Matchup of the Week. Their 170 points was 40 points higher than their previous best score, and the second highest score of the week. Their timing is perfect as they’ll face down three teams all vying for a playoff spot over the last three weeks. Where they once had a “free” win lined up, the Bunnies, Nibblonians, and Shittysauruses will now have a legitimate threat to overcome. Wholelottasmoke has one win over the teams below him, but is facing Pumaskulls (#6), Mega Shark (#2), and Surfers (#5) to close out the season. With 5 (6?) teams fighting for 4 spots, Smoke could find itself outside the playoffs if they don’t win at least 2 out of 3.

Random Notes:

• Giant Octopus had the top score for the fourth week in a row, and is averaging 195 points over the same stretch.
• Mega Shark hasn’t scored less than 149 points since week 5.
• TGIF had their best score of the year, but may not matter after stat corrections.
• Fluffy hasn’t scored this well since week 3.
• Atoms are now tied with Shenanihads for most games under 100 points (4).
• Wholelottasmoke dominated the IDP position with 62 combined points.
• Melvin Gordon is averaging 21 points a game, but the Surfers overall are averaging 131.5 points with him in the line-up, and 170 points with him out.

Playoffs are only 3 weeks away, but aside from the top two spots it’s anyone’s game. Without knowing how stat corrections go I won’t bother speculating, but look for a post later this week going over potential playoff scenarios.
