Week 14 matchups
- The Super Team vs King Kommish Klap
- FSB vs No(ah)
- Not Fine vs RAMBO
- AJ, JJ & The Other Guys vs Lace em up!
- August Rush vs Ring, Ring
- Daddy Warbucks vs The Show
2. Clinched & Eliminated
🔒 Clinched Playoff Berths
- FSB (10–3) – In. Massive PF lead. Heavy favorite for the 1-seed.
- #1 seed unless:
- FSB loses and King wins, or
- King outscores FSB by ~150+ in Week 14 in any record tie.
- #1 seed unless:
- King (10–3) – In. Locked into a top-2 seed and a bye.
- Steals the #1 seed if:
- King wins and FSB loses, or
- Both win/lose and King out-scores FSB by ~150+ in Week 14 (aka “FSB forgets to set a lineup week”).
- Steals the #1 seed if:
- Ring, Ring (8–5) – In. Record floor of 8–6 beats or ties everyone chasing.
- Can still get leap-frogged to the 4-seed if Ring loses and The Super Team wins (they’d both be 8–6 and Super has more PF).
☠️ Mathematically Eliminated
These teams can’t get to 7 wins, so they cannot catch the playoff bubble:
- August Rush (5–8)
- Not Fine. (5–8)
- No(ah) (4–9)
- Lace em up! (4–9)
They’re now playing for the great honor of not running a half marathon.
3. The Bubble – 3 Spots for 5 Teams
The remaining playoff drama is between:
- Daddy Warbucks (7–6)
- The Super Team (7–6)
- AJ, JJ & The Other Guys (6–7)
- RAMBO (6–7)
- The Show (6–7)
Three of these five will be the 4, 5, and 6 seeds.
Key Week 14 games – It really is shaping up to be a rivalry week.
- The Super Team vs King Kommish Klap (The Emperor of Edmond)
- Childhood friends, college roommates, best men in each other wedding. Let’s see who becomes the Emperor of Edmond.
- Daddy Warbucks vs The Show (head-to-head elimination game)
- grab your popcorn because we all want to see if the “The Show” gets it’s final season of if the whole catalog ends up on Tubi.
- AJ, JJ & The Other Guys vs Lace em up (A Skirmish North of the River)
- Who will reign supreme north of the wall?
- RAMBO vs Not Fine (The Battle of Best Friends)
- Brothers in Christ but who will be Cain and who will be Able?
4. Team-by-Team Scenarios
🧨 The Super Team (7–6, 1762.46 PF)
- With a WIN vs King Kommish Klap (8–6):
- 100% in. Can even jump to the 3-seed if Ring loses.
- With a LOSS (7–7):
- Still in almost every sane world.
- You currently have more PF than every bubble team except RAMBO, and they’re only +22 on you.
- For you to be pushed out, you’d need:
- To lose, and
- RAMBO, Daddy Warbucks, AJ, JJ & The Other Guys, and The Show all to finish 7–7, and
- At least three of them to somehow outscore you, including:
- Daddy Warbucks by 110+,
- AJ, JJ, & The Other guys by 163+,
- The Show by 246+ in Week 14 alone.
Practical read:
You’re “virtual lock” status. Think 99%+ odds. A win vs King Kommish is just insurance.
🧨 Daddy Warbucks (7–6, 1652.18 PF)
- With a WIN vs The Show (8–6):
- Instant playoff berth; likely 4-seed.
- With a LOSS (7–7):
- Then Show also finishes 7–7. Daddy Warbucks has:
- +53 PF on AJ
- Then Show also finishes 7–7. Daddy Warbucks has:
- +136 PF on Show
- Daddy Warbucks loss, plus
- AJ and The Show wins, plus
- Both AJ and Show outscore Daddy Warbucks by 50–140 points each.
Practical read:
Also a near-lock. Needs a very ugly low-score loss and nuclear games from AJ, JJ & The Other Guys and The Show to get bounced from the post season.
🧨 RAMBO (6–7, 1784.94 PF)
- Has the most PF in the bubble and plays Not Fine (5–8).
- Has lost lost 7 games in a row.
- With a WIN (7–7):
- Very strong chance in, because he beats everyone in PF and will tie or beat most in record.
- Under neutral “coin-flip” assumptions for all relevant games, RAMBO makes the playoffs in roughly 60–65% of outcomes.
- With a LOSS (6–8):
- Dead. No 6–8 team is getting in.
Practical read:
This is the true “control your destiny” team. Win and your odds are great; lose and it could be training season.
🧨 AJ, JJ, & The Other Guys (6–7, 1599.48 PF)
- Plays Lace em up! (4–9) in Week 14.
- With a LOSS (6–8):
- Eliminated.
- With a WIN (7–7):
- Now lives in the tie-breaker world.
- AJ trails Daddy Warbucks by ~53 PF and The Super Team by ~163 PF.
- To pass both, he needs:
- A high score himself, and
- One of them to really stink it up.
- Rough math with 50/50 game outcomes and current PF gaps:
→ AJ makes it in about 25% of scenarios.
Practical read:
AJ, JJ, & The Other Guys needs a win and then must pray that the points don’t come for The Super Team (spoiler: they will, thx De’Von).
🧨 The Show (6–7, 1516.23 PF)
- Plays Daddy Warbucks (7–6) head-to-head.
- With a LOSS (6–8):
- Eliminated.
- With a WIN (7–7): Drags Daddy Warbucks back to 7–7 with him, but: The Show trails:
- The Super Team by ~246 PF
- Rambo by ~269 PF
- Daddy warbucks by ~136 PF
- AJ, JJ, and The Other Guys by ~83 PF
- Even after a win, he needs:
- Someone in the bubble crowd to lose, and
- A massive PF explosion by his crummy team to climb several places.
- Under simple coin-flip assumptions and current PF:
→ The Show sneaks in if that coin lands on it’s side.
Practical read:
Firmly in “needs help from a professional if he actual thinks there’s a chance” territory.
5. Rough Playoff Odds
Treating each Week 14 game as a 50/50 coin flip and assuming PF order mostly holds:
- FSB: 100% in, ~80–90% to take the #1 seed
- King: 100% in, ~10–20% shot at #1, locked bye
- Ring, Ring: 100% in (seed 3–4)
- The Super Team: ~99%+ to make playoffs
- Daddy Warbucks: ~95–99% to make playoffs
- RAMBO: ~60–65%
- AJ, JJ: ~25%
- The Show: ~10–15%
- Everyone else: 0% chance of making the playoffs
- 100% chance of tight buttholes as the Toilet Bowl commences.
6. Ridiculous but Technically Possible Edge Cases (Interdimensional Cable Part 3)
Because it’s Sleeper and chaos is fun:
- The “Anti-2 Wins a week” tragedy
- AJ, JJ, and The Other Guys drops 255 in Week 14.
- The Super Team scores 80, Daddy Warbucks 75, The Show 230, Rambo 50.
- AJ, JJ, & The Other Guys ends the year as top-3 in PF, but a weird 5-way record tie plus other wins still park him in 7th.
- He spends the offseason screenshotting “Points For” and sending them in the group chat every Monday.
- The War Disaster
- Daddy Warbucks starts three guys on bye “for psychological warfare.”
- The Show goes nuclear for 210 points. Rating are as high as ever, gets renewed and pickup by major broadcaster.
- Daddy Warbucks finishes 7–7 but loses PF tie-breakers to AJ, JJ & The Other Guys and The Show by a handful of points…
→ Only top-4 in record but somehow misses the playoffs.
(Mathematically possible, emotionally devastating.)
- The King Rightfully Takes What’s His – the 1-Seed
- FSB has a bad week and puts up 70 in a trap game vs No(ah). *Insert flood joke here*
- King Kommish hangs 240 on The Super Team in some Monangai/Rodriguez ass-back fever dream.
- The 170-point swing flips the PF tiebreak, King snags the #1 seed, FSB fans file a protest with the league office about “defensive points not counting.”
- The “Everyone Goes 7–7” Apocalypse
- The Super Team loses, Daddy Warbucks loses, Rambo wins, AJ, JJ & The Other Guys wins, The Show wins.
- You end the year with FIVE teams at 7–7.
- Sleeper’s PF tiebreak decides everything, and the entire league suddenly becomes very invested in stat corrections from Week 3.
- Lace em up & No(ah), Agents of Chaos
- Lace em up and No(ah) both win while eliminated.
- In doing so they knock AJ, JJ & The Other Guys and Rambo out, accidentally locking in the most boring chalk bracket possible.
- They immediately claim they “meant to do that” and give each other super sick high fives. Cool guys.
