A Kingdom Crumbling? Race is on for 5 and 6 seeds

3 teams, two seeds available.

1. Unbeaten Gators 10-2 VS Rayz (5-7) AT Rayz (5-7) X

2. Weiner Dogz 8-4 VS Kings (7-5) AT Kings (7-5) X

3. Ducks 7-5 VS I.Classics (4-8) AT I.Classics (4-8)

4. Panthers 9-3 VS Pirates (3-9) AT Pirates (3-9) X

5. Kings 7-5 VS Weiner Dogz (8-4) AT Weiner Dogz (8-4)

6. Purple Cobras 6-6 VS Heels (4-8) AT Heels (4-8)

7. Carolina Falcons 6-6 VS Copperheads (4-8) AT Copperheads (4-8)

Purple Cobras own tie breaker over both the Kings and Carolina Falcons

Carolina Falcons and Kings split their match up and the next tie breaker is overall points which the Kings are barely leading by 15.

So basically it looks like both the Purple Cobras and C.Falcons will win out putting them at 8-6 which would give the Cobras a spot for sure while the rest would be up to the Kings if he wins both he goes to 9-5 and wins the West and would be sitting at the 2 seed if he loses 1 game he will be in a tiebreaking scenario for the six seed with the Carolina Falcons coming down to points overall. If they lose both they're probably for sure done cause I don't see the C.Falcons losing either game and I definitely don't see the Cobras blowing two games.

There is a chance the Cobras can leap frog the Ducks and send them down into the wildcard mix which would be great for the Kings considering they own the tiebreaker over the Ducks but bad for the Carolina Falcons cause the Ducks own the tiebreaker over them.

Kings 7-5 Tiebreaker over Ducks
Purple Cobras 6-6 Tiebreaker over Kings and C.Falcons
Ducks 7-5 Tiebreaker over C.Falcons
C.Falcons 6-6 split with Kings will come down to points

The Playoff Picture about to be shaken up?

It looked like it was almost set just a couple of division races, well I could've been wrong.

CURRENT SEEDING

1. U.Gators 9-2 X
2. Kings 7-4
3. Ducks 6-5
4. Panthers 8-3 X
5. W.Dogz 7-4
6. C.Falcons 6-5

P.Cobras 5-6 *own tiebreaker over C.Falcons + Kings **in the hunt for Central Division
I.Classics 3-8 *only record this bad still alive can only win the Central if Ducks or P.Cobras win a game they're done.

CLINCHING SCENARIOS
W.Dogz clinch playoff spot with win
IF Ducks win then the Instant Classics are eliminated, IF Purple Cobras win then the Instant Classics are eliminated.

Kings can not clinch due to not owning the tiebreakers over either the Rayz or P.Cobras.

CRAZY THOUGHTS

So far this week it looks like the Classics (3-8) could have a real shot at beating the Panthers (8-3) behind Brady's performance, I know it's early but just entertain some scenarios if the Rayz (5-6) are able to beat the Purple Cobras and C.Falcons (6-5) beat the Ducks (6-5) the Classics are alive for yet another week. Then they would have to beat the Ducks twice doable and pray that the Heels sweep the Purple Cobras, it's still a long shot but the fact we're even talking about it is crazy.

The Rayz (5-6) are very much alive if the Ducks can pull off the upset over the C.Falcons they will be holding onto the 6 seed via a tiebreaker. Then if they can split the U.Gator series it's not crazy to think the Copperheads could upset the C.Falcons putting the Rayz in the playoffs.


So the Kings (7-4) are gonna end their playoff drought right? Well maybe not..they
have a brutal schedule with the match up against the U.Gators(9-2) this week then double header against his division rival Weiner Dogz (7-4) I know it's farfetched but if the Kings were to lose out and the Rayz win this week and split the series with the U.Gators then the Kings are watching from home most likely, or if the Kings go 1-2 and the Rayz somehow win out the Kings are sitting at home. It's an unlikely scenario but it sure would be nice to have the tiebreaker over the Rayz and Cobras.

ONE SUPER LONE SENTENCE TO WRAP IT UP
What I think will happen the C.Falcons pull out a win against the Copperheads or two keeping the six seed because the U.Gators won't let this diminished Rayz team beat him especially not twice, the Weiner Dogz-Kings match up is going to be exciting to watch, the Central division will be won by either the Ducks or Purple Cobras there's no way the Purple Cobras don't beet the Heels one time out of two, if the Ducks don't win this week I think the Cobras easily take the division from them, if they do win though the Ducks will take this division, in the East if the Classics pull off the upset this should be done and the U.Gators should get the one seed even though they were swept by the Panthers.

The WEST gets a surprising twist

When you look at the Kings and Weiner Dogz trade at first glance it looks like the W.Dogz severely overpaid for Colston, but upon closer inspection this could cost the Kings big time. Before this deal the Weiner Dogz were severely weak at the flex using a combo of Danny Woodhead and Roy E. Williams in their line up, now they get a top WR2 low WR1 to put in the flex. So in an always scary move the Kings have improved a division rival can they withstand it.

Kings 7-4 QB Roeth HB Jones-Drew HB Gore HB/WR McFadden WR R.White WR Owens TE Gates

W.Dogz 7-4 QB Rivers HB Forte HB F.Jackson HB/WR Colston WR Bowe WR Austin TE Celek

Although the Kings have the better team they now match up a lot closer and it should make for an exciting doubleheader between the two to finish out the season.

WOW

Craziest trade deadline I've ever been a part of..
BIGGEST TRADE: U.Gators Receive: QB Vick, HB Bradshaw, and a 1st (W.Dogz)
Kings Receive: HB Gore

U.Gators Receive: 2nd round pick
Ducks Receive: HB F.Jones and TE Witten

Kings Receive: 1st round (W.Dogz)
W.Dogz Receive: WR Colston

BIGGEST TRADE THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN: the Instant Classics had 3 offers for SJAX, a 1st and 3rd from the Ducks, a 1st from the W.Dogz and Mike Wallace for SJAX and a 3rd from the Panthers but didn't pull the trigger on either.

Good gah, received a call at 11:58 am hearing the Kings owner D.Gibson shout into my ear Vick Bradshaw and a 1st for Gore and Orton, I talked him down to just Gore then tried to get him to swap McFadden for Bradshaw but it didn't happen agreed to the trade at 11:59 am..wow

PLAYOFF PICTURE/Monday Night the Centrals on the line

Every team is technically still alive except the Pirates but I hate to burst everyones bubble but the six playoff teams are pretty much set. The current six seed Carolina Falcons (6-5) play the Ducks then Copperheads twice there's a very small chance they lose one of those.

So the only race to watch is the Ducks and Purple Cobras if Lloyd scores over 10 tonight I think the Cobras run away with this thing, if not we've got a division race on our hands with the loser staying home. The Ducks should look on cheering harder than ever during the monday night game that San Diego keeps Lloyd out of the endzone and below a 100 yards then the Ducks are still very much alive. Everyone should be rooting for the Ducks cause the Cobras just got a whole lot stronger.

In the East and West we now have two insanely heated division races while all four will make the playoffs the winner will receive the much desired and beneficial 1st round bye. In the EAST we have the U.Gators (9-2) and Panthers (8-3). Both of the U.Gators losses came at the hands of the Panthers meaning the Panthers own the tiebreaker giving the U.Gators not a ton of room for leeway over these last 3 games.

REMAINING SCHEDULES
U.Gators 9-2 : Kings (7-4), Rayz (5-6), Rayz (5-6)

Panthers 8-3 : I.Classics (3-8), Pirates (3-8), Pirates (3-8)

The U.Gators and Panthers should win their last two games easily so it all comes down to next week where the U.Gators play another championship contender in the Kings and the Panthers play a losing but dangerous team featuring Brady,CJ, and SJAX. Week 12 will be huge in this race. Winner gets a Bye and the one seed loser plays a wildcard game against either the Kings or defending champion Weiner Dogz.

In the WEST we have the Kings (7-4) and defending champion Weiner Dogz (7-4), this one is extremely interesting cause its going to be based on head to head. Even if the Kings suffer a loss next week to the U.Gators (9-2), they still get the Weiner Dogz twice which would allow them to win the division if they sweep them. Winner gets a bye loser is destined to play either the Panthers or U.Gators on the road not exactly a fun prospect but then again last years champion Weiner Dogz played in the wildcard last year and knocked out their biggest concern in round 1 so they don't care either way most likely.

REMAINING SCHEDULES

Kings (7-4): U.Gators (9-2), W.Dogz (7-4), W.Dogz (7-4)

W.Dogz (7-4): Pirates (3-8), Kings (7-4), Kings (7-4)

Frank the Tank is a U.Gator

U.Gators Receive: HB Frank Gore

Rayz Receive: WR Moss,HB Greene, WR Crabtree, and HB Mathews, 1st (Pirates),2nd(U.Gators),4th,4th, 1st in 2012

QB Orton
HB A.Foster
HB A.Peterson
HB/WR F.Gore
WR A.Johnson
WR C.Johnson
TE Tamme

Let's go, the U.Gators have pushed all their chips into the middle of the table ready to add a 3rd title. After the loss to the Panthers made the East a one game race the U.Gators knew they had to make a big splash to put them back to the forefront of the league. The Rayz are starting to build strong for 2011 and that pick may end up being the first overall. In a later article today I will talk about the 6 playoff teams including the improved Purple Cobras and the Big 3.

Rayz throw up white flag, Purple Cobras improve throroughly

Purple Cobras Receive: WR Harvin, TE V.Davis, QB Schaub, and HB B. Wells

Rayz Receive: WR V.Jackson and 1st round pick

The Rayz are really smart to throw in the towel on this year as I will show in a future article today, the six teams are more than likely set. (Don't expect the 6 seed C.Falcons to lose another game Ducks, Copperheads, Copperheads) With trade deadline fastly approaching other teams would be smart to follow his lead.

Classics and Copperheads trade from last week

Classics Get: 2011 1st and 2011 9th

Copperheads Get: 3rd '11, 5th '11, Ochocinco, 1st '12, 3rd '12

Heading into Week 11 playoff scenarios

Coming into the week

X U.Gators 9-1

Z Rayz 4-6

Z Pirates 3-7

X= Clinched playoff spot

Z= Can not win the division

Week 11 Schedule

Panthers 7-3 VS U.Gators 9-1
P.Cobras 5-5 VS Ducks 5-5
W.Dogz 6-4 VS I.Classics 3-7
Copperheads 3-7 VS Rayz 4-6
Kings 6-4 VS Heels 4-6
Pirates 3-7 VS C.Falcons 5-5

IF: U.Gators Win they clinch the East division and a 1st round bye and at least the 2 seed.
IF: U.Gators Win and Kings lose they clinch the number one seed
IF: W.Dogz Lose the U.Gators clinch at least the 4 seed.
IF: Pirates Lose they are eleminated from playoff contention
IF: Copperheads lose and Kings or W.Dogz AND C.Falcons win they are eleminated from playoff contention.
IF: I.Classics Lose and P.Cobras Win the I.Classics can not win the Central Division
IF: I.Classics Lose and P.Cobras Win AND C.Falcons Win then the I.Classics are eleminated from playoff contention.

TEAM BY TEAM LOOK
1. U.Gators 9-1..Panthers,Kings,Rayz,Rayz..The U.Gators can secure a 1st round bye with a win this week making the other three games basically not matter. Already Clinched so there's one of the six playoff spots taken up.

2. Kings 6-4..Heels,U.Gators,W.Dogz,W.Dogz..The two weeks against the W.Dogz may turn out to be huge for the division race and the 2 seed. The Kings haven't made the playoffs in half a decade but if they can win this week and split the series with the Dogz that should be enough to get them in.

3. Ducks 5-5..P.Cobras,C.Falcons,I.Classics,I.Classics..If they get this sweep over the Purple Cobras this week that basically would put them up 2 games with 3 games to be played and so they'd only have to watch out for the I.Classics who are going to have to be perfect including two match ups against the Ducks to steal this division.

4. Panthers 7-3..U.Gators, I.Classics, Pirates, Pirates.. Basically guaranteed a spot in the playoffs already having 7 wins and having two match ups with the Pirates remaining. The question is can they make a run for the division they're going to have to probably be perfect over these four weeks including winning this week against the division leader U.Gators.

5. Weiner Dogz 6-4..I.Classics,Pirates,Kings,Kings..The defending champion looks to be well on their way to another playoff berth, getting the win over Instant Classics this week would be huge for them cause they don't want to go into the double Kings match up with their playoff spot not secured.

6. Carolina Falcons 5-5..Pirates,Ducks,Copperheads,Copperheads..Sitting at 5-5 but with the easiest schedule of any playoff contender this team should easily win three out of these four giving them almost a definite playoff spot at 8-6.

7. Purple Cobras 5-5..Ducks,Rayz,Heels,Heels..The time is now to have a shot at the division. If they can pull off this win they have a great shot at the division title thanks to their sweep of the Instant Classics. If they go both go 6-8 the Purple Cobras would get the nod if the Purple Cobras win two games there's no shot for the Classics and very little chance for the Ducks. The Heels/Heels ending helps but are the Cobras strong enough to take advantage of it.

8. Rayz 4-6..Copperheads,P.Cobras,U.Gators,U.Gators..Probably the slimmest chance as the wildcard is their only shot and they do not have the tiebreakers against the W.Dogz or C.Falcons the current 5 and 6 seeds so even an 8-6 run could end without the post season.

10. I.Classics 3-7..W.Dogz,Panthers,Ducks,Ducks..Pretty tough schedule but if they can find a way to beat both the W.Dogz and Panthers then the intensity of the final two games against the Ducks could be insane. There's no way this team gets in as a wildcard it's 3 seed Central champ or nothing for this group, I don't think they can get by these next two weeks unscathed but we will see.

Well that was CLASSIC

The week's facts and top story lines in a CRAZY week 10

The U.Gators (9-1) clinched a playoff spot

The Rayz and Pirates officially can not win the East Division

The East is now a two team race between the U.Gators (9-1) and Panthers (7-3) who play in week 11.

The Rayz (4-6) got a crazy win to keep them in the playoff race, they now trail the current 6 seed Carolina Falcons (5-5) and Purple Cobras (5-5) by just one game.

The Rayz still have to play the U.Gators (9-1) twice to end the year.

The Instant Classics (3-7) via Brady won maybe the best fantasy game of the year so far they have pulled within two games of the Central Division.

The Instant Classics need to be rooting hard in week 11 for the Ducks, they need the Purple Cobras to go 1-3 or worse for them to have a shot at stealing the division.

The Ducks and Instant Classics conveniently face off the last two weeks of the season quite possibly with the division on the line.

The defending champion Weiner Dogz look to be headed for yet another playoff berth.

The Kings (6-4) are leading their division after ten games for the first time ever and look to be a lock to make the playoffs.

The Pirates (3-7), Copperheads (3-7), Heels (4-6) are all three done in my opinion.

4 Weeks to play I'll be posting another article today looking at the remaining schedules for possible playoff teams as well as looking at possible playoff clinching scenarios later on today.

Playoff Picture

The Instant Classics are officially out of the playoff picture dropping their 7th game even if they miracously win out and get to 7-7 I highly doubt that'll be enough to punch a ticket to the dance. We can also assume the Copperheads (3-6) and Pirates (3-6) are out of the playoff picture.

So that knocks us down to 9 teams competing for 6 playoff spots. Let's have a look at their chances.

1. U.Gators 8-1 definitely a playoff team and barring something crazy should retain this one spot. With the Foster/Peterson duo at half back and the Megatron/Andre3000 duo at wide out this team is the heavy favorite for the GFFL crown.

2. Kings 5-4 the playoff curse may finally end this year. This team will battle the C.Falcons for Western supremacy but if they fail at that I think they grab a card spot.

3. Ducks 5-4 they need some magic and quick, this team is not that good but good thing for them their division isn't either, if the Cobras falter this division could still belong to the Ducks.

4. Panthers 6-3 starting to gain some cushion in the wildcard race this team should easily be the 4 seed and could be the first team with double digit wins to not win their division. Peyton Manning/Hillis/and his stud receivers make this team a powerhouse and easily the 2nd best team in the league with a chance of being the best.

5. Carolina Falcons 5-4 getting shocked by the Purple Cobras due to poor roster management (left Turner on the bench) is not the way to become a champion. Although losing this game puts the West division back up for grabs they still have to be favored for it and if not I think this team will easily grab a wildcard spot.

6. Weiner Dogz 5-4 the defending champion having dropped two straight is still in good shape having that two game finale with the Kings may lead to one staying home and one partying in the playoffs.

7. Purple Cobras 5-4 good gah Purple Cobras. In the craziest story of the season the Purple Cobras through nine games are leading the Central and heck may have the best team in the Central. Mendy/Lloyd/Fitzpatrick are a trio that are more than capable of taking this division and getting these Cobras into the playoffs. I say pencil them in as the current favorite.

8. Heels 4-5 I doubt they make it in but this team due to record is still in the mix especially in the weak Central.

9. Rayz 3-6 the last team with faint hope very faint hope, but with a talented roster and one game down they need to win 5 straight including 2 against the U.Gators

18 Peyton Manning days until trade deadline

18 ladies and gentlemen, 18 days to decide if you're making a run at GFFL BOWL VI. Are you a buyer or a seller at this deadline while 3 more fantasy games will be played before you have to make a decision but it's worth figuring it out now if you have a big offer in your face or if you're planning on being a buyer cause these next 3 games can play a huge roll on the playoff picture or if youre a seller, your player's value. So what would I do if I was in your shoes..have a look.

Team - Buy/Stay/Sell
U.Gators 7-1 - BUY Off to a great start but can afford to make a deal for a stronger flex play to try to cement a championship. Tried to trade for CJ and are now working on a monster deal for another back.

Panthers 5-3 - BUY Stud QB, WRs, FLEX, and TE but average backs. Having not touched their draft picks it may be wise to try to trade for a stud back and try to compete with the U.Gators for the 2010 title.

Pirates 3-5 - SELL Everyone other than Romo and Dez need to be up for grabs for the right price and stock a draft up for 2011. Tolbert, Ryan, Green-Ellis, Floyd, S.Rice, Moreno are notable players that could bring in some picks.

Rayz 2-6 - SELL Talented team but with a daunting 2 game stretch at the end of the season against the U.Gators and already harnessing 6 losses, a 7th loss could be a killer and it seems unbelievably crazy to count on 5-1 which still may not get it done. He needs to real off a 6-0 record over the last 6 weeks to have a legitimate shot of getting in. I say sell you've got some great players get some picks and try to dominate in 2011.

Ducks 5-3 - STAY This team is honestly not anywhere close enough talent wise to be considered one player away. It's not worth throwing away 2011 to try to get this team to contender level. Maybe make a small trade with a mid round pick like getting a Moreno or a couple of roll players from the Pirates.

Heels 4-4 - BUY A big trade could win the Central and he's gotta be getting tired of being a middle of the road team. I'd target a QB upgrade and search for another trade to make and get into the dance.

Purple Cobras 4-4 - BUY Same thing as the Heels, the Cobras have a chance to shock the whole league and enter the playoffs. Fitzpatrick, Mendenhall, Lloyd are a heck of a big three get them some help ASAP and take the Central Jonny this could be your year how many more times do you think you're randomly gonna find a QB1 and WR1 out of players who have never done anything DONT WASTE IT.

I.Classics 2-6 - BUY This is a conflicting situation and as you can tell by Christian's trade yesterday he is obviously going for it. I think the only way he gets in is if he wins the Central. He is currently trailing both the Ducks and P.Cobras(swept by them so they lose tiebreaker) by 3 games. However this Sunday the P.Cobras and Ducks are huge underdogs in their match up while the Instant Classics play the Copperheads. If the Classics hold off the Copperheads and pull within 2 games with 5 games to play this could turn into a heck of a 4 team division race. If they get upset by the Copperheads obviously you turn into a seller but if he wins the two week games against the Ducks to end the year are gonna be good gah insane.

Carolina Falcons 5-3 - BUY Only if he can get a number one wide receiver. This team should have never traded Gates but it is still studly at this point and probably the 2nd or 3rd best team in the league.

Weiner Dogz 5-3 - BUY Defending champions have a pretty good team but could definitely use a jolt from an incoming stud to try to get this repeat thing in motion.

Kings 4-4 - STAY First time in a long time they haven't been a seller at the deadline. I think his team is as good as he's gonna be able to get it due to his lack of picks and a pretty solid team already. You could make an argument for them as the number 3 team in the league stay put and try to get that playoff berth.

Copperheads 2-6 - SELL With 3 first round picks already he'll be the one laughing next year but for now keep selling get any and every pick you can.

Instant Classics acquire Garcon and Evans

I.Classics Get: WR Garcon and WR Evans

Copperheads Get: 4th round and 6th round
