Match-Up Build-Up Week 13

 Playoff Scenarios:

Njokus on you (11-1): NJ has clinched a playoff spot. They also tied the league's longest winning streak of 11 straight wins. A win this week gives them the outright record. They will likely be the top overall seed for the playoffs as well. The only thing standing in their way is league history. Time and time again the top seed has fallen short of expectations in the playoffs. Their players simply run out of gas typically. Time will tell for the MFFL's top dog in 2023. 

The Peaking Dynasty (9-3): TPD has won 6 straight games. One more victory would clinch them a playoff spot. They are trying to stay healthy though, as Andrews and Taylor have been hurt in consecutive weeks. The fact that they have won six straight games without Justin Jefferson is remarkable. They did a good job acquiring depth and quality throughout the season.

Imposing Monstrosity (8-4): Stros is very close to getting back to the playoffs. They continue to produce elite seasons in the MFFL. They have only made 8 moves all season, illustrating how good their draft was. Two more wins clinches them a spot. Or a win against McCoy in the final week of the regular season would seal it. They are in good position. No matter what happens over the next two weeks, they will enter the last week, with a chance to secure a spot. 

The Dingos Ate Your Babies (7-5): The Dingos have a great shot at the playoffs. They have the softest schedule to finish the year, playing each of the bottom three teams in the final three weeks. They have won four of five, and continue to put up good point totals. They could play themselves into a higher seed if they win each of their last three games. 

The Real McCoy (6-5-1): McCoy has lost three of four, and haven't scored over 120 points in four straight games. It was a bad time to go on a cold streak, but their playoff hopes are still alive. Unlike the teams above them, they do not control their own destiny. Their next two games are winnable though, setting up a potential play-in game against Stros in week 15. They will be hoping The Dingos lose some games, which would make their path to the playoffs easier. 

Bo, Loco, and Coop are likely out. Even if they win their remaining games, and The Dingos and McCoy lose theirs, their low point totals would likely keep them out of the playoffs. They would have to win and win big, to climb back into the race. Which is possible, however unlikely. 

TDs and LFB have already been eliminated.
