Match-Up Build-Up Week 13

1. The Perpetual Dynasty (6-5-1) vs La Flama Blanca (7-4-1)
The only game with playoff implications headlines week 13 of the MFFL season. Barring a huge collapse from Loco or McCoy, both will join The Morgans in the 2017 playoffs. Their resumes will be discussed at length leading up to the playoffs, but this week the eyes of the MFFL will be on one game.

TPD's up and down season reached a low point a week ago has they failed to score 120 for the first time in 5 weeks. The underperformance has put this squad in serious danger of missing the playoffs. They have to win this week or their season is over. It has been a hard road for this team. They continue to be 3rd in the league in points but have struggled to gain any sort of momentum. Holding them back has been the performance of their opponents and, as always, poor circumstance.
17 different players have had their best week of the season against TPD, with many other players having their #2 best week. It basically equates to TPD going up against two players every week that have their best week of the season against them and to put it in perspective, the top team in the league has only had that happen to them 5 times this season. TPD has dealt with ridiculous poor circumstance their entire career. No other team could continually survive the way TPD does year after year. Their blow up week is coming eventually, TPD just hopes it comes when the games still matter for them.

LFB is in the lead position for the 4th playoff spot because of the miracle tie against TPD earlier this year, in which their kicker blasted three 40 yard+ field goals in the fourth quarter of Monday Night Football. They are 3rd to last in points scored this season. Right now it is hard to see how LFB has earned this position but victories in their final two games against TPD and The Morgans would quell any thoughts of that notion.

This is basically a playoff play in game, though TPD has to win while LFB does not necessarily. LFB must hope they can string together two straight good performances, something they have struggled with this year. While TPD enters the all or nothing match wondering which two players will blow up against them this week.

Here is the current lineup projections:
