Week 13 Monday Night Massacre - Playoff Implications

The battle for the #6 seed comes down to tonight. Mud Dogs and Razen Kanes have each won, they are both 7-6 and tied for the final playoff spot. They did not play during the season, so it comes down to total points. As of now, Kanes lead Mud Dogs, 1130-1120. TONIGHT - Mud Dogs have Keyshawn, they need him to be worth 11. Not 10 - if he's worth 10, then we go to the next tiebreaker, which is Most Points Allowed (essentially, strength of schedule).... which Kanes lead there, again by the slimmest of margins, 1187-1183, and those point totals are final. Once again, this has been posted in the League Constitution on the website, that this is the next tiebreaker. Who'd have ever thought it could possibly come down to that, though.

Now, in the Central, nothing decided yet, although it does look like Lizard Kings are going to lose to Blue Dogs and be the #5 seed. They trail by 51 heading into tonight, and they have Steve Smith, but BD has Delhomme. You can pretty much wrap this one up.

In the big BC Bombers-RVG game, it will definitely come down to tonite. BCB currently leads 122-105, but RVG has the Panthers D. They need to put up 18 for RVG to win the Central Division title and the #3 seed. If they score 17 and the game is a tie, BCB will win the division by virtue of their head-to-head victory in Week 2.

To summarize:

Carolina DEF scores 18 or more = RVG is the #3, BCB is the #4
Carolina DEF scores 17 or less = BCB is the #3, RVG is the #4
Keyshawn scores 11 or more = Mud Dogs are the #6 seed
Keyshawn scores 10 or less = Razen Kanes are the #6 seed

So next week's playoffs will be:
#3 (RVG or BCB) vs. #6 (MD or RK)
#4 (BCB or RVG) vs. #5 Lizard Kings

#1 Hit Squad and #2 Part Time Pimps have a bye week and will resume their quest for greatness in Week 15.

It is also worth noting that Hit Squad RB Brian Westbrook needs to put up 24 points tonight for Hit Squad to win their game vs. PTP, and finish the regular season a perfect 13-0, at which point we can officially end the IFL, because I don't want to exist in a world where Holland is perfect. Un-effing-real. GO PIMPS!

IFL-BCS Seedings announced tomorrow!!!!

Thanks to John Elias of the Ellis Sports Bureau for pointing out my mistakes, which he's always good for. If RVG beats BCB to win the Central, his beloved Lizard Kings will still play BCB in the Wild Card, but L-Kings would actually be the #4 seed, and BCB the #5, netting the Kings an extra $10. However, all playoff teams must donate a percentage of their winnings to a charity of my choice.
