Match-Up Build-Up Week 14

Three teams have clinched a playoff spot for 2017. The Glorious Morgans, El Pollo loco and The Real McCoy are all playoff dancing. The Morgans are guaranteed to play the 4 seed while Loco and McCoy have the unfortunate circumstance of playing each other two weeks in a row, starting with this week. Look for in depth breakdowns of these team next week.

Only one spot remains and only three teams have the resume to obtain it. LFB and TPD are once again the center of attention for the MFFL, but Stros has an outsiders shot too.

TPD beat LFB in resounding fashion a week ago to keep their playoff hopes alive. Stros beat TDs and has now won two straight. Entering week 14 the playoff scenarios are as follows:

TPD gets in with: A win in week 14
                               A loss with a LFB loss and a Stros loss
                               A loss with a LFB loss and a Stros win, but scoring 42 or less points than TPD.

LFB gets in with: A win in week 14 and a TPD loss in week 14.

Stros gets in with: A win in week 14, a TPD loss, a LFB loss, and scoring 43 more points than TPD.

TPD holds the all important points tie breaker by a 137 point margin over LFB and a game lead and 42 point margin lead over Stros.

LFB is fortunate to be in this position. They have scored less points than have been scored against them and have survived because of an unbelievable tie against TPD and a week 1 victory in which they scored 94 points. This week they are matched up against the top team in the league. They have been playing better each of the last two weeks and a win this week, even against the league's best, would not be shocking.

TPD is matched up against Tavon. Tavon has not scored over 120 points since week 7. TPD conversely has scored over 135 in three of their last four weeks. It would take a major bucking of the trends for Tavon to pull off the stunning upset, but when you want to talk about trends being bucked, look no further than TPD. They've had an incredibly ridiculous 19 different players have their best week of the season against them.

Stros needs a lot of help but are at least within striking distance of TPD's points tie breaker. Holding them back is the fact that they are a game behind both other teams. 

All and all it will amount to a crazy weekend around the MFFL. Stros and LFB have never been bigger Tavon fans, while both have to win this weekend in their respective match-ups.
