So, sorry about the inaccuracy of last week's recap - I hadn't refreshed my Stat Tracker and missed some key roster changes that resulted in a lot of wrong numbers on the Favre Failure Wagon / Undefeated match-up. Oops.
With one game left, there's still a lot of movement possible in the standings. The only teams who have clinched are UD and PTW, though FFW, SS and PM could technically miss the playoffs with a disasterous week and huge scores by the other 8-4 and 7-5 teams. It's safe to say that the only two teams that are really on the bubble are MMM and BB.
In an interesting twist, this last week will be a chance for a lot of teams to play spoilers: our top 7 teams will be playing the bottom 7, so there's a good chance for non-playoff teams to put a hurting on some of the big dogs.
Like last year, I will only be posting recaps of the playoff teams after next week. To those of you who didn't make the playoffs this year, don't worry - it was a tough league. I hope to see you all re-join next season! Remember that mass-dropping of players is against league rules - make sure to play nice!
The playoff picture:
IN (clinched playoff spot):
1. Undefeated (9-3 / 1136.75)
2. Play to Win the Game (9-3 / 1101.03)
IN (for now):
3. Favre Failure Wagon (8-4 / 1036.72)
4. Sobchak Security (8-4 / 1011.67)
5. Pack Men (8-4 / 989.19)
6. Mad Max's Mama (7-5 / 979.35)
MUST WIN (and get a little help):
7. Brown's Backups (7-5 / 890.72)
OUT:
8. Boycott LA (5-7)
9. The Little Guy (5-7)
10. Sexual Chocolate (5-7)
11. Boss Hogg (4-8)
12. RN to the Rescue (4-8)
13. G-Unit (3-9)
14. Two-Hand Touch (2-10)
BARN-BURNER OF THE WEEK:
** Mad Max's Mama (Kerri) DEF Two Hand Touch (Rex) by 3.5 points **
This matchup reminded me of that video with the giraffes fighting:
Which is to say, "awkward". Kerri's leading scorer was David Akers (K - Phi / 22.00), and got less than 8 points from her receivers. Rex got a strong game from Jamaal Charles (RB - KC / 24.30), but that's about it. With her victory (and a Brown's Backups loss) this week, Kerri sneaks into the playoff picture. Next week MMM (7-5) plays Boycott LA (4-8) and THT (2-10) plays Undefeated (9-3).
** Boycott LA (Matt) DEF Brown's Backups (Josh) by 7.84 points **
Jesus, this was close - thanks to the shellacking that San Francisco gave the Arizona defense (10.76) on Monday night, Boycott LA was only able to finally take the lead for good in the third or fourth quarter of that game. Both teams had huge games this week - Jay Cutler (QB - Chi / 38.91) and Michael Turner (RB - Atl / 23.45) held it down for Brown's Backups, while BLA took a more balanced approach with 5 of 7 players in double-digit scoring. Next week BLA (4-8) plays Mad Max's Mama (7-5) and BB (7-5) plays G-Unit (3-9).
** Favre Failure Wagon (Steve) DEF G-Unit (Sam) by 23.51 points **
You simply cannot be unlucky enough to average less than 8 points per player and expect a victory. Such is life for our dear Samantha, who has been screwed once again by her inconsistent team. FFW, on the other hand, had a pretty consistent week as he put the brakes on a 4-game losing streak in time to almost certainly make the playoffs. Next week FFW (8-4) plays The Little Guy (5-7) and G-Unit (3-9) plays Brown's Backups (7-5).
** Boss Hogg (Jordan) DEF Sobchak Security (Rick) by 34.61 points **
In an upset victory, BH helped to knock SS out of a three-way tie for first place and into a four-way tie for third - what a difference one game can make. Leading the effort was Tom Brady (QB - NE / 41.04) and Arian Foster (RB - Hou / 28.15), who had tremendous games. Big Ben Roethlisberger (QB - Pit / 13.43) had a pretty weak showing for Rick, though he was the highest scorer on SS's squad. Next week BH (4-8) plays Pack Men (8-4) and Sobchak Security (8-4) plays Sexual Chocolate (5-7).
** Play to Win the Game (Jeff) DEF The Little Guy (Kyle) by 38.61 points **
Peyton Hillis (RB - Cle / 42.20) is most certainly my favorite football player named 'Peyton'. 5 of 7 scored in the double digits to keep PTW in the hunt for first place, though TLG definitely threatened thanks to Garrett Hartley (K - NO / 20.00) and Matt Schaub (QB - Hou / 24.24). Next week PTW (9-3) looks to get revenge for his 2009 upset playoff loss against RN to the Rescue (4-8), while TLG (5-7) plays the formidable Favre Failure Wagon (8-4).
** Undefeated (Bob) DEF Sexual Chocolate (John) by 38.72 points **
Yikes. UD had great games from Michael Vick (QB - Phi / 33.46) and Dwayne Bowe (WR - KC / 29.75), while SC had great games from... nobody, really. Eli Manning (QB - NYG / 23.41) is the only player in double digits, and all but one other player scored less than seven points. Next week UD (9-3) plays Two Hand Touch (2-10) and SC (5-7) plays Sobchak Security (8-4).
ASS-KICKING OF THE WEEK:
** Pack Men (Brett) DEF RN to the Rescue (Megan) by 53.72 points **
Even a goose egg from Austin Collie (WR - Ind / 0.00) didn't stop Pack Men from laying down some serious points on an unlucky RN, who has pretty much gotten screwed by the Fantasy Football Gods this year. I say again, about the hubris. For the second straight year, the defending champion missed the playoffs - can this year's winner avoid the same fate next year? Next week Pack-Men (8-4) plays Boss Hogg (4-8) and RN to the Rescue (4-8) plays Play to Win the Game (9-3).
** Superstars of the Week **
1. Peyton Hillis (RB – Cle – Play to Win the Game) 42.20 pts
2. Tom Brady (QB – NE – Boss Hogg) 41.04 pts
3. Matt Cassel (QB – KC – Favre Failure Wagon / DNS) 40.06 pts
4. Jay Cutler (QB - Chi - Browns Backups) 38.91 pts
5. Aaron Rodgers (QB– GB – Pack Men) 34.88 pts
** AKOTW Standings **
1. Undefeated (3-0) - Week 2 +39.78 vs GrNeGgSnHaM, Week 3 +17.64 vs Brown’s Backups, Week 7 +58.84 vs Sobchak Security

*Remember that tie-breaks are determined by total points scored. A lot of teams have the same record so, one loss could mean a huge drop in the standings. SO UPDATE YOUR ROSTERS!
BARN-BURNER OF THE WEEK:
** Favre Failure Wagon (Steve) DEF Undefeated (Bob) by 2.50 points **
It wasn't over until late Monday night, when Brandon Lloyd (WR - Den / 11.40) caught a touchdown to break Steve's three-game winning streak and knock Undefeated out of first place. Both teams had a pretty good game, but Steve's team was more consistent across the board. Next week FFW (8-3) plays G-Unit (3-8) and UD (7-4) plays Sexual Chocolate (5-6).
** Sobchak Security (Rick) DEF G-Unit (Sam) by 5.36 points **
** Pack Men (Brett) DEF Mad Max's Mama (Kerri) by 10.97 points **
Thanks to another great game from Aaron Rodgers (QB - GB / 40.65) and Fred Jackson (RB - Buf / 29.70), Brett has continued his hot streak (seven wins in the last nine games). Kerri's team struggled pretty much across the board, including tepid games from Dustin Keller (TE - NYJ / 0.85) and Jahvid Best (RB - Det / 3.35). Next week PM (7-4) plays RN to the Rescue (4-7) and MMM (6-5) looks to get back into playoff contention against Two Hand Touch (2-9).
** Sexual Chocolate (John) DEF RN to the Rescue (Megan) by 11.96 points **
** Two Hand Touch (Rex) DEF Boss Hogg (Jordan) by 17.58 points **
In a surprisingly strong game, Rex dealt a fatal blow to Jordan's chances of making the playoffs. Highest up in Rex's stable of high-scorers was Matt Ryan (QB - Atl / 28.63) and Pittsburgh (21.14). Boss Hogg had strong games from Maurice Jones-Drew (RB - Jac / 25.25) and Tom Brady (QB - NE / 23.96), but it wasn't enough. Next week THT (2-9) will battle Mad Max's Mama (6-5) and Boss Hogg (3-8) will look to knock Sobchak Security (8-3) out of first place.
** Brown's Backups (Josh) DEF The Little Guy (Kyle) by 23.51 points **
Poor Kyle. Pierre Garcon (WR - Ind / 4.35) had an uncharacteristically weak game, along with Anquan Boldin (WR - Bal / 0.20) and Garrett Hartley (K - NO / 1.00). All Josh needed was a few strong games like he got from Michael Turner (RB - Atl / 26.60) to seal the seal. Next week BB (7-4) looks to maintain his playoff spot against Boycott LA (4-6) and TLG (5-5) tries to prevent slipping out of playoff contention against Play to Win the Game (8-3).
ASS-KICKING OF THE WEEK:
** Play to Win the Game (Jeff) DEF Boycott LA (Matt) by 68.12 points **
That's a paddlin'. Drew Brees (QB - NO / 38.16) and Peyton Hillis (RB - Cle / 25.15) laid the smack down on the likes of Andre Johnson (WR - Hou / 2.60), Dan Carpenter (K - Mia / 0.00) and the Arizona defense (0.82). Next week PTW (8-3) plays The Little Guy (5-5) and BLA (4-7) plays Brown's Backups (7-4).
** Superstars of the Week **
1. Aaron Rodgers (QB – GB – Pack Men) 40.65 pts
2. Ben Roethlisberger (QB – Pit – Sobchak Security / DNS) 40.61 pts
3. Peyton Manning (QB – Ind – Favre Failure Wagon) 38.81 pts
4. Drew Brees (QB– NO – Play to Win the Game) 38.16 pts
5. Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB – Buf – RN to the Rescue / DNS) 35.33 pts

BARN-BURNER OF THE WEEK:
** Favre Failure Wagon (Steve) DEF Undefeated (Bob) by 2.50 points **
It wasn't over until late Monday night, when Brandon Lloyd (WR - Den / 11.40) caught a touchdown to break Steve's three-game winning streak and knock Undefeated out of first place. Both teams had a pretty good game, but Steve's team was more consistent across the board. Next week FFW (8-3) plays G-Unit (3-8) and UD (7-4) plays Sexual Chocolate (5-6).
Rick maintained a share of first place with a victory thanks to another solid game from LeSean McCoy (RB - Phi / 21.25) and -I'm not kidding here- David Garrard (QB - Jac / 18.21). Brett Favre (QB - Min / 8.69) didn't do Sam any favors, though Nick Folk (K - NYJ / 17.00) continues to kick ass. Next week SS (8-3) plays Boss Hogg (3-8) and G-Unit (3-8) will look to spoil the chances of Favre Failure Wagon (8-3).
Thanks to another great game from Aaron Rodgers (QB - GB / 40.65) and Fred Jackson (RB - Buf / 29.70), Brett has continued his hot streak (seven wins in the last nine games). Kerri's team struggled pretty much across the board, including tepid games from Dustin Keller (TE - NYJ / 0.85) and Jahvid Best (RB - Det / 3.35). Next week PM (7-4) plays RN to the Rescue (4-7) and MMM (6-5) looks to get back into playoff contention against Two Hand Touch (2-9).
** Sexual Chocolate (John) DEF RN to the Rescue (Megan) by 11.96 points **
Thanks to Marques Colston (WR - NO / 19.65) and the Chicago defense (18.74), SC knocked RN down a couple of pegs. Megan was done no favors by Vince Young (QB - Ten / 8.21), a roster change she lamented later - Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB - Buf / 35.33) was left on her bench. Next week SC (5-6) plays Undefeated (7-4) and RN (4-7) plays Pack-Men (7-4).
** Two Hand Touch (Rex) DEF Boss Hogg (Jordan) by 17.58 points **
In a surprisingly strong game, Rex dealt a fatal blow to Jordan's chances of making the playoffs. Highest up in Rex's stable of high-scorers was Matt Ryan (QB - Atl / 28.63) and Pittsburgh (21.14). Boss Hogg had strong games from Maurice Jones-Drew (RB - Jac / 25.25) and Tom Brady (QB - NE / 23.96), but it wasn't enough.

Lazy!
Sorry folks, but I don't feel like writing a recap this week. Things are crazy at work and I'm sleepy. I might write a quick something on the state of the league later this week.

BARN-BURNER OF THE WEEK:
** Mad Max's Mama (Kerri) DEF Undefeated (Bob) by 2.08 points **
Another close one for UD, but this time he came out on the losing end. It wasn't the fault of Mike Vick (QB - Phi / 31.18), though - no, it was MMM's Philip Rivers (QB - SD / 36.33) and David Akers (K - Phi / 21.00) that put her ahead. Both MMM and UD join the unexclusive 6-3 club and the glut of teams that are tied for second place. Next week MMM (6-3) looks to break away against Sobchack Security (6-3) and UD (6-3) will look to avoid dropping in the standings against Boycott LA (4-5).
** G-Unit (Sam) DEF Boycott LA (Matt) by 6.89 points **
Another game that was decided late; G-Unit pulled ahead for good thanks to a short TD run from Cedric Benson (RB - Cin / 19.20) in the fourth quarter of Monday Night Football. BLA made it respectable with good games from Joe Flacco (QB - Bal / 26.95) and the Arizona Defense (29.10), but he really missed having Stephen Jackson (RB - StL / BYE), who had a bye this week. Next week G-Unit (3-6) plays The Little Guy (4-5) and Boycott LA (4-5) will play Undefeated (6-3).
** Pack Men (Brett) DEF Favre Failure Wagon (Steve) by 13.07 points **
Thanks to an unbelievable game from Aaron Rodgers (QB - GB / 37.56) and the Green Bay Defense (33.48), Pack Men was able to overcome an otherwise lackluster roster and FFW's Ahmad Bradshaw (RB - NYG / 27.10) and hand Steve his second straight loss (while earning his FIFTH straight win!). Steve broke out early on in the season, but the peleton is pulling him back in; will he have the stamina to maintain his lead, or will be be absorbed into the pack of 7 other teams that are within striking distance? We'll find out next week as FFW (7-2) plays Brown's Backups (5-4) and Pack-Men (6-3) battles Play to Win the Game (6-3).
** Sexual Chocolate (John) DEF Two Hand Touch (Rex) by 19.49 points **
Not much to say regarding this one. Eli Manning (QB - NYG / 31.99) gave John his best game of the season and Rex had 4 of 7 players score less than 7 points. Yikes. Next week SC (3-6) plays the resurgent Boss Hogg (3-6) and THT (1-8) will try to end RN to the Rescue's season (3-6).
** Play to Win the Game (Jeff) DEF Brown's Backups (Josh) by 21.44 points **
This one wasn't decided until early in the Monday night game when Rashard Mendenhall (RB - Pit / 24.25) scored on the Steeler's first drive to put PTW ahead for good. Josh's team put up a good fight, including games from Jay Cutler (QB - Chi / 26.07) and Michael Turner (RB - Atl / 29.35). But 5 of PTW's players scored in double-digits to propel him to victory. Next week PTW (6-3) plays the scorching hot Pack-Men (6-3) and BB (5-4) plays the suddenly worried Favre Failure Wagon (7-2).
** Sobchak Security (Rick) DEF The Little Guy (Kyle) by 22.38 points **
This one was actually closer than it looks - at least until Monday night when Ben Roethlisberger (QB - 16.06) and Terrell Owens (WR - Cin / 21.55) played. Kyle had three players score less than 3 points, so that's about all she wrote. Aside from Adrian Peterson (RB - Min / 27.70), Kyle's bright spot was his kicker. Next week SS (6-3) plays the lovely Mad Max's Mama (6-3) and TLG (4-5) looks to get back to .500 when he pays G-Unit (3-6)
ASS-KICKING OF THE WEEK:
** Boss Hogg (Jordan) DEF RN to the Rescue (Megan) by 52.76 points **
Whoa. Without Kellen Winslow (TE - TB / 2.30), BH's team averaged over 20 points each in a blistering victory against slumping RN to the Rescue. RN's chances are on life support this week thanks to a lack of circulation from John Carlson (TE - Sea / 0.95) and the New England Defense (2.12). Next week BH (3-6) looks for his fourth straight against Sexual Chocolate (3-6) and RN (3-6) looks to build her confidence against league punching bag Two Hand Touch (1-8).
** Superstars of the Week **
1. Aaron Rodgers (QB – GB – Pack Men) 37.56 pts
2. Arian Foster (RB – Hou – Boss Hogg) 36.35
3. Philip Rivers (QB – SD – Mad Max's Mama) 36.33 pts
4. Peyton Hillis (RB– Cle – Play to Win the Game / DNS) 36.25 pts
5. Matthew Stafford (QB – Det – G-Unit) 32.41 pts
** AKOTW Standings **
1. Undefeated (3-0) - Week 2 +39.78 vs GrNeGgSnHaM, Week 3 +17.64 vs Brown’s Backups, Week 7 +58.84 vs Sobchak Security

Another game that was decided late; G-Unit pulled ahead for good thanks to a short TD run from Cedric Benson (RB - Cin / 19.20) in the fourth quarter of Monday Night Football. BLA made it respectable with good games from Joe Flacco (QB - Bal / 26.95) and the Arizona Defense (29.10), but he really missed having Stephen Jackson (RB - StL / BYE), who had a bye this week. Next week G-Unit (3-6) plays The Little Guy (4-5) and Boycott LA (4-5) will play Undefeated (6-3).
** Pack Men (Brett) DEF Favre Failure Wagon (Steve) by 13.07 points **
Thanks to an unbelievable game from Aaron Rodgers (QB - GB / 37.56) and the Green Bay Defense (33.48), Pack Men was able to overcome an otherwise lackluster roster and FFW's Ahmad Bradshaw (RB - NYG / 27.10) and hand Steve his second straight loss (while earning his FIFTH straight win!). Steve broke out early on in the season, but the peleton is pulling him back in; will he have the stamina to maintain his lead, or will be be absorbed into the pack of 7 other teams that are within striking distance? We'll find out next week as FFW (7-2) plays Brown's Backups (5-4) and Pack-Men (6-3) battles Play to Win the Game (6-3).
** Sexual Chocolate (John) DEF Two Hand Touch (Rex) by 19.49 points **
Not much to say regarding this one. Eli Manning (QB - NYG / 31.99) gave John his best game of the season and Rex had 4 of 7 players score less than 7 points. Yikes. Next week SC (3-6) plays the resurgent Boss Hogg (3-6) and THT (1-8) will try to end RN to the Rescue's season (3-6).
** Play to Win the Game (Jeff) DEF Brown's Backups (Josh) by 21.44 points **
This one wasn't decided until early in the Monday night game when Rashard Mendenhall (RB - Pit / 24.25) scored on the Steeler's first drive to put PTW ahead for good. Josh's team put up a good fight, including games from Jay Cutler (QB - Chi / 26.07) and Michael Turner (RB - Atl / 29.35). But 5 of PTW's players scored in double-digits to propel him to victory. Next week PTW (6-3) plays the scorching hot Pack-Men (6-3) and BB (5-4) plays the suddenly worried Favre Failure Wagon (7-2).
** Sobchak Security (Rick) DEF The Little Guy (Kyle) by 22.38 points **
This one was actually closer than it looks - at least until Monday night when Ben Roethlisberger (QB - 16.06) and Terrell Owens (WR - Cin / 21.55) played. Kyle had three players score less than 3 points, so that's about all she wrote. Aside from Adrian Peterson (RB - Min / 27.70), Kyle's bright spot was his kicker. Next week SS (6-3) plays the lovely Mad Max's Mama (6-3) and TLG (4-5) looks to get back to .500 when he pays G-Unit (3-6)
ASS-KICKING OF THE WEEK:
** Boss Hogg (Jordan) DEF RN to the Rescue (Megan) by 52.76 points **
Whoa. Without Kellen Winslow (TE - TB / 2.30), BH's team averaged over 20 points each in a blistering victory against slumping RN to the Rescue. RN's chances are on life support this week thanks to a lack of circulation from John Carlson (TE - Sea / 0.95) and the New England Defense (2.12). Next week BH (3-6) looks for his fourth straight against Sexual Chocolate (3-6) and RN (3-6) looks to build her confidence against league punching bag Two Hand Touch (1-8).

1. Aaron Rodgers (QB – GB – Pack Men) 37.56 pts
2. Arian Foster (RB – Hou – Boss Hogg) 36.35
