Message for those vying for Last Place Prize!!!

I have made a score adjustment in order to keep one of our great players in the game, yet assess a fair penalty for missing the deadline for a few picks. doh will get a 5-point adjustment. If you're interested in how we arrived at that number, just PM me.

The standings now reflect that adjustment and I wish you all the best (or is it worst, lol)!

Also, for those who have inquired, we will be announcing tie-breaking procedures as the post-season unfolds. We are currently locked into awarding only 4 trophies, so there will be tie-breakers, if needed.

Quite possibly my favorite convoluted playoff scenario ever :

DENVER BRONCOS
Denver clinches a playoff spot with:
1) DEN win + NYJ loss or tie + BAL loss or tie OR
2) DEN win + NYJ loss or tie + PIT loss or tie OR
3) DEN win + NYJ loss or tie + HOU win OR
4) DEN win + BAL loss or tie + PIT loss or tie OR
5) DEN win + BAL loss or tie + HOU win OR
6) PIT loss + BAL loss + HOU loss + JAC loss or tie OR
7) PIT loss + BAL loss + HOU loss + NYJ loss OR
8.) PIT loss + BAL loss + JAC loss or tie + NYJ loss OR
9) PIT loss + HOU loss + JAC loss or tie+ NYJ loss OR
10) NYJ loss + BAL loss + HOU loss + JAC loss or tie
