I mean, holy cow. Is the league really that tight? As a matter of fact, we are that tight this year. There lies a scant 2 games between 3rd and 9th place. So, that means that there is still a bit of a fight not only for playoff berths, but also seeding. Cuz let's be honest. This is what the first round is going to look like for whatever unlucky sod happens to sneak in in 8th place:

| We can only hope that it's Kerry who pulls 8th seed so that she can do here black magic and make Ben lose again... |
I'm not going to make wild guesses about what's going to happen in the next few weeks though. So, let's get to pick'ems!
Ben and Crutch both kicked some serious ass this week going 5-1. Mike and Terri were on the same wavelength going 4-2, and Phil clocked in with a sad 3-3. That means that we've got some ties. Ben is now tied with Phil for first place, and the Gs remained locked in 5th place together. This is how it currently stands:
Phil: 46
Ben: 46 (boo!)
Crutch: 32
Josh: 27
Mike: 22
Terri: 22
Patrick: 15
So, it looks like this is going to come down to it again. Good luck, everyone. Except Ben, obvs.

Let's put that particular bullshit behind us and move on to the games...
Patrick vs. Josh. Josh came into this one hungry. If he could pull a win and lay a significant beating on Patrick, Josh would climb past Patrick to second place. But this was not to be, as Patrick chalked up the most points in the league this week. Also, this win puts Patrick at the top of the league for Points Scored throughout the season. Also, fun side note: Patrick hit line up Nirvana this week. Josh's team did admirably, except for poor Dak. This is the second week in a row that he went negative. It wasn't quite as epic of a meltdown as last week, but still not good. I'm not saying that Zeke's suspension is hitting Josh hard, but this is how I found him this morning:
Kyle vs. Terri. Man, when Kyle is hot, he's HOT! Brady kicking ass, NE Def (finally) kicking ass, Jones Jr kicking ass, Lunch kicking ass. That's not to say that Terri rolled over her. 4 solidly double digit performances clocked in on Terry's starters AND almost 50 points were left on the bench between two players. This is the sort of game that you wanna see. Not a lot of lame ducks, just a lot of good performances on both sides. Congrats, Kyle, and tough break, Terri...
D vs. McClennen. Well, somehow D managed to pull of a very decisive win, even with starting Cousins (who sucks) and Crabtree (who was both booted and suspended for fighting). But when Jones and Ertz almost outscore the competition on their own, it's gonna be a good time..... Enjoy it while it lasts, D. You're crushing it!
Kerry vs. Crutch. This was another pretty tight game and Kerry managed to beat expectations and pull in a W. A big game too.... Kerry jumped up to 6th place and Crutch was pushed out to 9th place. Also known as "So close, but not quite close enough for the post season." Keep kicking ass, Kerry.. this might just be your year.
Mike vs. Phil. I know, I know. This was supposed to be a big rematch. We were going to do as much smack talking as we did in week 1. Sadly, both of our teams have just been beaten to hell and back, and I think that Mike and just didn't have enough bravado to cover up our shit shows of teams. So, not a lot of smack here. Though I will say that it did come down to Monday night, which was nice. Hopkins needed a scant 9 and change points on Monday night to pull in the second W for ol' Phil. It just wasn't meant to be as Mike one this match up by 0.68 points. Ugh. Hurt then, hurts now.
Ben vs. Skoot. I can't even for this one....
A chink finally appears in Ben's armor, but somehow he manages to reverse Ben it. I mean, second lowest points in the week and he manages to play the worst points in the week. Fucking hell, Skoot. You had TWO players who were clearly out.
You're killing me here!!!
Ugh... OK. So, two more weeks in the regular season. Y'all know what to do.
