Week 13 Recap/Week 14 Preview

Week 13: Top 5 Story Lines

1. Eric Decker, Eric Decker, Eric Decker, Eric Decker. His four touchdowns on Sunday saved the Lions season (and potentially the Sharks) and ruined Ohh Kill 'Ems. Thanks to Decker the Carolina Lions now play in a win and in game week 14 for the wildcard.

2. 158!? The Dynasty Kings a week after posting 48 were able to tie the all time scoring record and upset their main rival the Miami Sharks. This team has a bright future starting perhaps in 2014.

3. Super Manning wasn't able to topple the Tots but they were able to tie them which in the playoff scheme of things doesn't mean much but it makes for an interesting stat. The Tots are 9-0 vs everyone else except the Lions (0-2) and Super Manning (1-0-1) going a combined 1-2-1, so if a team has a shot to upset the Tots in the postseason it's these two wildcard hopefuls.

4. The Miami Sharks (1408) and CLO Collins (1374) both passed the single season scoring record (Tots and Super Manning both have shots to pass it as well but no shot to set the new record). It will be interesting to see who after week 14 will have set the new mark and what that mark will be, is an absurd 1500 possible?

5. Gio's Odyssey is going to need a huge game to avoid making history for the wrong reasons, they currently have 949 points with the lowest single season of all time being 1,055 by '12 Goonsquad so they need to have a 107 point week at least.

Current Playoff Picture
1. Scott's Tots 10-2-1
2. Miami Sharks 8-5
3. CLO Collins 8-5
4. Carolina Lions 8-5
--------------------------------------
5. Super Manning 7-5-1 GB. 1/2

Thoughts: This is simple now, week 14 is essentially a play-in game and the playoffs for the Lions and Super Manning starts now. Whoever wins will be in as the #4 seed and will play #1 seed Scott's Tots in round 1. If they tie Carolina Lions would obviously get the #4 seed. The other divisional round game is set with a pair of preseason favorites facing off, current #2 seed Miami Sharks going against current #3 seed CLO Collins, all that's left to decide is who will be what seed (which plays some importance because if there is a tie in the playoffs the higher seed advances).

2014 Draft Positions
1. Dynasty Kings (Via BSL 4-9)
2. Dynasty Kings (Via GS 4-9)
3. Dynasty Kings (Via Gio 4-8-1)
4. Gio's Odyssey (Via Pur 5-8)
5. Miami Sharks (Via Kory 5-7-1)
6. Purists (Via DK 6-6-1)
7. BSL (Via OK 6-6-1)
8. Gio's Odyssey (Via SM 7-5-1)
9. Dynasty Kings (Via L 8-5)*
10. Miami Sharks (Via CLO 8-5)*
11. Miami Sharks 8-5*
12. Miami Sharks (Via Tots 10-2-1)*

*= Subject to playoff results

Thoughts: With GS playing Gio one of them is guaranteed a loss or tie sealing the #1 pick for Dynasty Kings. Gio's Odssey could end up picking as high as #2 but the most likely scenario is BSL loses and one of GS or Gio wins which would allow Gio's pick (via Purists (if they lose against CLO)) to land at #3. The Miami Sharks have the ability to keep their pick top 5 as long as they beat Kory this week, there is a slight chance for top 4 if Purists can win as well but this is not likely. Purists-BSL draft position will be determined by DK and OK game deciding who picks 6 or 7 with a slight chance one could move up to 5th. Gio's current 8 pick and Dynasty Kings 9 pick will be completely determined by the Super Manning/Lions game with no upside to move any higher than 8.


BOTTOM LINE Week 14 is all about Super Manning VS Carolina Lions...I think this is going to be an extremely tight game...I'm taking the Lions 101-100.
