Week 13 Match-up Build-up

GAME OF THE WEEK

Advantageous Morgans (6-5-1) VS La Flama Blanca (7-5)
     Two of the best teams all season try to clinch playoff spots in the game of the week. The winner of this match-up will almost certainly find themselves post season bound. La Flama has been struggling, losing 3 out of 4. Their hot start to the season has carried them through this rough stretch. They need to get healthy, period. A win over the Morgans could prove that La Flama's success is not a product of the 3rd easiest schedule in the league. It's hard losing Aaron Rodgers. The Morgan's failed to achieve a victory over a team with a losing record last week. They tied Tavon 124-124. It now makes their playoff prospects a bit more cloudy. They have a difficult finish to the season, playing La Flama and The Reckoning. Two straight losses would open the door for a second West Division team to sneak into the playoffs ahead of the Morgans. Neither of these teams want their playoffs hopes to be determined in the last week of the season, the only way to avoid that is to win this match-up. Expect an all out brawl.

2. Perpetual Dynasty (9-3) VS ShowMeYourTDs (5-7)
     Two of the hottest teams in the league fight for division pride in the number 2 match-up of the week. The TDs rebirth has been remarkable. They have won three straight games. Inexplicably, the TDs now have their sights on a potential playoff spot. Their recent success also gives them hope at minimum win the "Last Man Hand Standing Trophy." TDs is playing with house money considering how their season started. PD is the first team to clinch a playoff spot. They have an amazing (7-0) divisional record against the competitive East Division. They are averaging 145 points per game during a six game winning streak. PD is now playing for an undefeated divisional season and the number 1 overall seed. Both teams will try to put on a show for their loyal fan bases.

3. The Reckoning (6-6) VS The Real McCoy (5-7)
     Two teams trying to avenge losses a week ago meet face to face. This season has been boom or bust for both teams. If both teams are booming on Sunday, then it could be the highest scoring match-up of the week. Reckonings domination of the West Division a season ago has not carried over this year, as four out of Reckoning's six losses have come against the West. The fact is Reckoning has the 3rd most points in the league. They are an extremely good team. Missing out on the playoffs because of their divisional record would devastate them. The Real McCoy were confident they could overcome their inconsistency after they improved their team via trades, but it did not happen. Last week they scored 103 points, this coming after they scored over 150 points two weeks ago. It has been the theme of their team all season long. The playoffs are not completely unreachable, but they are now behind the eight ball. A bounce back week from both teams is expected. This is a top match-up every single season.    

4. El Pollo Loco (6-6) VS Tavon and Only (4-7-1)
     Loco kept their playoff hopes alive with a massive victory over the Real McCoy last week. They have to beat Tavon in order to sustain their playoff aspirations. Having the Morgans lose out wouldn't hurt either. Tavon is playing for pride.

5. Weeden and Weep (6-6) VS IHateStevanRidley (5-7)
     Weeden has the fewest scored points in the league. How are they (6-6)? Who would of thought that Weeden controls their own destiny in terms of a playoff spot. Formerly the Babes, the Ridley's have lost six games in a row. Their hot start keeps their playoff hopes alive by the slimmest of margins.
