DFL 2013 Week 13: Makin' it rain, makin' it rain...

I know, I know.. I'm being *way* too happy for throwing down an impressive 50 points this week.  But you know what?  It was slightly more than my competitor.  So, it still counts as a

Count it!  And with such a tight race, with one week left, there are no less than 6 teams who could conceivably sneak into the playoffs.    Not only that, but thre are still 4 people who have a serious chance of taking home the gold in the Pick'ems.  And since that's as good of a place to start as any....

Cuz, you know, it's a pun.

This week only saw 5 people pick.  And everyone went 3-3.  Everyone except for one far seeing lad named Phil.  I went 4-2.  Thanks for the upset, Terri!  So, that means Phil, Ben, and Skoot are in a three way tie for second place and Crutch is only barely holding on to 1st place by 2 scant picks.  Terri, having missed the picks this week is 4 points behind the 2nd place pack.  And Mike made a good move to be on little pick behind his dear wife.  Everyone else is dead to me in this section of the write up.

As for the games we'll go from  highest scoring to lowest score.

At the top of the heap is Terri versus Melanice.  Once hell of a slugfest!  Terri wound up on top with 121 points and Melanie would still have beat most of the league with 98 points.  Well done, ladies.  There were no break out stars on Terri's team since pretty much all of her players went gangbusters. Though Melanie was lucky enough to start Cam and JOSH! (ah ah) Gordon. Their combined score alone beat a team or two around the league...

Next highest scoring game was Missy versus Patrick.  Even though Missy's QB curled up and  died, stellar games from Murray and Jeffrey put Missy at 113 points.  Patrick, just missing the 100 point club, took home the loss here.  Sadly, Patrick started ANYONE on the Saints this week and that was just a recipe for disaster...

The next highest scoring game was Crutch versus Kookie.  Though really, Kookie didn't contribute too much to the overall score.  Obviously, Crutch delivered the beat down of the weak here.  Crutch was only 0.08 points away from highest score of the week.  Kookie, on the other hand, well... Bless his heart.

What is up with all of the ladies going crazy on the scores this week.  And in case I was too subtle there, Crutch, I was calling you a lady.

The battle of old roomies was the next highest score with Ben winning out over McClennen.  The ground breaking news for McClennen is that he actually put in a tight end this week.  Sadly, even with that and Brady and Bush going gangbusters, there just wasn't enough mojo to overcome Ben's desperation to see the post season.

Next up was also the closest game of the week:  Skoot versus Mike.  Only 2 points separated the winner from loser here.  Plus, Mike did it with panache by pulling in a pallendropic score.  Rah!  So, that snaps Skoot's crazy long winning streak.  Though we are all pretty happy for you, Mike, it should probably be noted that Skoot had a started that was benched at the last minute and another who was just shut out.  Oh, and Brees must have forgotten his Nyquil the night before.  (What do I always say about Monday night games??)  So, careful on inflating that ego of yours!

And finally, sadly, was the low score of the week.  Phi threw down an impressive 53 points against RA Dave.  Just to put this in perspective, 5 teams outscored our entire match up this week.  Ugh... When can I get Rodgers back????  On the plus side, my win streak is now the longest active one in the league.  Yay!

Yeah, this wasn't the most fun recap ever..  But really, it's Wednesday night, and next week is the last week of the regular season.  So, I'm all stoked up for that.  Stay tuned for another write up!
