There's this guy in my league who has an all-time horseshoe up his ass. It seems like every year he limps into the playoffs and then runs the table. He's won the league 3 of the last 4 years IIRC, and never has anywhere close to the best team all year. I'm playing him this week - if I win I clinch a playoff berth and he would need a ton of help next week to sneak in; If he wins, we will be part of a 3-way tie for the last 2 spots and I'll be in a do or die contest next week.
I entered the week as a slight favorite. Then he lost Lamar Jackson, and at the end of the 1:00 games I had a commanding lead and Yahoo had me projected over 80% to win. I then proceed to receive a combined 6.9 points (nice) from Travis Kelce and Jeff Wilson in the late afternoon games, and now I'm projected at 76% to lose. What a stupid fake sport.
As an aside... This dude is married to Mr. Met's ex-girlfriend, and also took his place in the fantasy league when Mr. Met moved to Texas. Hell of a cucking, in More Cowbell's opinion.

Per Yahoo, I had a 98% chance to win last night, I was up pretty big with the other team having Zeke and the Cowboys defense, and my team was done....and then that 4th Quarter happened. Fun for my real team, less so for my fake team.

Ts/congrats. I had Zeke ln too, but he had Pollard. I'm still up, but he has a couple WRs and the Bucs D tonight and only needs 24 points. I'm not optimistic.
I ended up losing by 1.8 points. Awesome. Thanks for nothin, Kelce. There are now 3 teams tied at 7-6 for the last 2 playoff spots. The other 2 play each other this week, so I'm in if I take care of my own business. If I lose, I'll almost certainly lose the tiebreaker to either of them and end up on the outside looking in. We will be rooting for out old pal FTT to defeat the defending champ (whose name, enough, is Champ) and eliminate him from playoff contention.
Thank you for asking. Please let me know if you need any additional information.
I finally won in the league where I started 0-12 thanks to Dallas' 4th quarter effort Sunday night. I have their defense, kicker, and Dak at QB. Gearing up for a winning streak in the consolation bracket after this week's festivities.
Speaking of--I lost in my auction league to fall to 7-6 and into a tie for third but I'm sitting in 5th just above three teams at 6-7. If I lose this coming week I'm out of the play-offs.
Been a real fun season of this fake sport. Can't wait to do it all again next year.

It's fun. We have fun.
I'm 11-2 and have clinched the #1 seed in the pla-yoffs in the other league. The prize pool in this league is less than 20% the size of the other league, obviously.
In the fake playoff league that Untouchable and I play in, I climbed from 25th to 6th place (out of 49) with yesterday's performance. I'll have to do some research on who the other guys have used to see if I have any real shot of differentiating anywhere to move up the leaderboard, but I know that all the teams ahead of me will be using the same QB as me (Hurts) so chances are I won't be able to get into the money (top 3 get real money; 4th gets their buy-in back).
I did manage to secure the 2nd-highest score of the week, which gets a payout and assures that I am currently at exactly even for the 2023 football season - 2 regular fantasy leagues, a survivor pool, and this playoff league. Twas a fun 5 months to end up with a net gain/loss of zero dollars. I have fun.
