Week 16 Preview

*Due to time constraints, the Week 16 Preview will be shorter than normal*

Game of the Week: Toejam Football (+26) @ Young Gun Football


In a game that is being dubbed "The Game of the Century," Toejam Football travels to Hell's Half Acre to battle Young Gun Football with the #1 overall seed in the BHFFC on the line. A Toejam victory would lock up the #1 overall seed, while a YGF victory would give their franchise the #1 seed so long as they win in Week 17 or maintain the total points scored lead after Week 17. Toejam Football will depend on the big play combination of Tony Romo and Dez Bryant in trying to overcome the hostile crowd. Coach Zach Maddux told reporters that his team has been loose all week and that he expects his team to put forth a great effort this weekend. YGF will lean on QB Aaron Rodgers for likely the last time during the regular season, as the MVP candidate is likely to rest during Week 17. Coach Jason Young expects a rowdy crowd this weekend in Oakdale and has called for the SWAT team, led by Special Agent Travis Lawson, to assist with crowd control. In a game as big as this, look for turnovers and special teams to make the difference.

Playoff Scenarios

  • Toejam Football: Can clinch #1 overall seed with a victory this weekend. Already clinched a playoff berth.
  • Tebow's Youth Group: Can clinch Thunder Division and #2 seed overall with a victory this weekend AND losses by both The Pessimists and Illegal Alien Babies.
  • Young Gun Football: Clinched a playoff berth. Will likely wrap up #1 seed overall with a victory this weekend (pending point totals after Week 17)
  • The Pessimists, Illegal Alien Babies, Play Action Pass, The Can't Beat Anybody's: If these teams win their final two games, they will clinch a playoff berth. (Loser of PAP and Anybody's will be in a tough spot after this weekend)
  • Campbell's Cougars: Needs to win final two games and get help to have a chance.
  • Safety Blitz, Maddawg's Tight End, Riley's Vikings: Mathematically still alive, but it will take a miracle. Must win out and get lots of help.
  • We Got Big TDs: Eliminated from playoff contention.
Details should become much more clear following this weekend. I have gone through hundreds of scenarios, but I don't have time to type them all on here. Remember that tie breakers are determined first by head-to-head matchups and then by total points scored. We will have a live draft in the chat room on the Thursday night following week 17 (January 5-make plans accordingly)
