PLAYOFF OUTLOOK

1. Y Rayz 10-2

2. X C.Falcons 9-3

3. Y Classics 8-4

4. X Kings 8-4

5. Pirates 7-5 GB. -

6. Gators 6-6 GB. -
----------------------------------------
7. Panthers 6-6 GB. -

8. Ducks 4-7-1 GB. 1.5

9. Deacons 4-7-1 GB. 1.5

OBSERVATIONS:

- The Rayz and C.Falcons are most likely you're 1 and 2 seeds with 1st round byes barring something bizzare.

- Leaves the Classics as the obvious 3 seed as the Central winner.

- Leaves Kings as obvious 4 seed.

- Pirates need one win to clinch OR a Panthers loss, the Panthers loss looks more likely but either way they're probably punching a playoff ticket.

- Gators need one win AND Panthers loss to clinch OR two Panther losses, a Ducks loss, and Deacons loss, so it looks like I'll get in.

- If Gators were to fall flat on their face and blow two to the Pirates and go 6-8, the Panthers would need just one win to get in but if they lose two to the Rayz which is likely then it would open it up for the Ducks and Deacons if either of them could sweep their opponent they could punch a ticket.

- Most likely this is your playoff picture 1. Rayz 12-2 2. C.Falcons 11-3 3. Classics 10-4 4. Kings 10-4 5. Gators 8-6 6. Pirates 7-7 but you never know anything could happen this time of year.

Kings Get: 7th

Kings-Classics Make a Swap

Kings Get: HB C.Johnson, WR AJ Green, 7th rounder

Classics Get: HB S.Jackson and WR Fitzgerald

Pretty even trade but I'd definitely take the CJ and Green side due to SJAX's tough upcoming schedule and Fitz's lack of a QB. In fairness though Green has some injury issues and a hard schedule while CJ is not THE CJ anymore.

Current Playoff Picture

1. Y Rayz 10-1

2. C.Falcons 8-3

3. Y Classics 7-4

4. Kings 7-4

5. Gators 6-5

6. Pirates 6-5

8. Ducks 4-6-1 GB. 1.5

9. P.Cobras 4-7 GB. 2

10. Deacons 3-7-1 GB. 2.5


THOUGHTS
- Rayz and C.Falcons will be your 1 and 2 seeds. I think the Classics will lose to the Rayz next week and the C.Falcons will run the table of their easy schedule resulting in the Rayz and C.Falcons having bye weeks.

- The Panthers are essentially done. Two games against the Rayz should result in two losses and they don't have the tiebreaker over the Pirates or Gators but if they can beat the Ducks and split with the Rayz 7-7 would probably punch a ticket.

- The Ducks (4-6-1) are arguably in the best position to make the playoffs. If they beat the Panthers this weekend to get to 5-6-1 and the Pirates fall to 6-6 I think the Ducks are basically in. They would only have to split the series with the Cobras and have the Pirates lose both games to the Gators to punch a ticket to the dance.

- It looks like it's a given we will have a Gators-Kings wildcard match up with the winner of this weekend's game having homefield advantage.

- The Ducks or Panthers would be the most dangerous of the potential 6 seeds.

PLAYOFF IMPLICATIONS WEEK 11

Are you gonna make the playoffs??? ^

X - Rayz (9-1) have clinched a playoff spot

Z - Copperheads (1-9) have been eliminated from playoff contention

0 - Deacons (2-7-1) can not win the Central Division

That's what's already happened here's what could happen in week 11

- Rayz (9-1) could clinch the Eastern Division Title and a playoff seeding no lower than 3 with a win over the Gators.

- Classics (7-3) with a win over the Ducks OR a Purple Cobras Loss would win the Central Division if they keep the points tiebreaker and be seeded no lower than 3.

- C.Falcons (7-3) Clinch a playoff spot with a win AND Pirates loss (has tiebreaker over Pirates and P.Cobras so all 8-6 finishes would put the Falcons in)

- Kings (7-3) Clinch a playoff spot with a win AND Panthers loss (has tiebreaker over Panthers and P.Cobras so all 8-6 finishes would put the Kings in)

- W.Dogz (3-7) Will be eliminated IF they lose

- Deacons (2-7-1) Will be eliminated IF they lose

PROJECTED END OF WEEK 11 STANDINGS

1. Rayz 10-1

The Playoff Report

1. Rayz 8-1; VS Pirates(5-4),VS Gators (6-3), VS Classics (6-3), VS Panthers (4-5), VS Panthers (4-5) - This is a guaranteed playoff team but it all comes down to the Gators game with a win they easily take the East if they lose they would most likely have a 1 game lead with 3 tough games to play going against the Classics and a rejuvinated Panther team. 100% Chance of Making Playoffs and while they should be the favorites for the division it is far from a lock.

2. C.Falcons 7-2; VS Classics (6-3), VS Kings (6-3), VS W.Dogz (2-7), VS Copperheads (1-8), VS Copperheads (1-8) - Western Division comes down to Week 11 but this team will finish at a minimum of 10-4. PLAYOFF LOCK

3. Classics 6-3; VS C.Falcons (7-2), VS Ducks (2-6-1), VS Rayz (8-1), VS Deacons (2-6-1), VS Deacons (2-6-1) - Most likely Central Division Champ and with games against the C.Falcons and Rayz has a shot at climbing to the #1 seed or at least a bye.

4. Gators 6-3; VS Panthers (4-5), VS Rayz (8-1), VS Kings (6-3), VS Pirates (5-4), VS Pirates (5-4) - Traded off some talent for the future but still pretty good and has the chance to steal the Eastern Division Crown and possibly the #1 seed but at least will be a playoff team.

5. Kings 6-3; VS Deacons (2-6-1), VS C.Falcons (7-2), VS Gators (6-3), VS W.Dogz (2-7), VS W.Dogz (2-7) - If they could have had that win against the Rayz last week they'd be riding high heading for a possible 1 seed but now they're just focused on overtaking the Falcons for the West.

6. Pirates 5-4; VS Rayz(8-1),VS Panthers (4-5), VS Cobras (4-5), VS Gators (6-3), VS Gators (6-3)- A righting of the ship is coming for these Pirates. While they only need to win two of these two most likely get in the dance they couldn't get a much harder schedule. I don't see them making it but I didn't see them being here so who knows.
---------------------------------------------------
7. P.Cobras 4-5; VS W.Dogz(2-7), VS Deacons (2-6-1),VS Pirates(5-4),VS Ducks(2-6-1),VS Ducks(2-6-1) - Team is a little beat up but they are in the best shape of anyone to claim the six seed they just have to take care of business in this stretch.

8. Panthers 4-5; VS Gators(6-3),VS Pirates(5-4),VS Ducks(2-6-1),VS Rayz(8-1),VS Rayz(8-1) - The Panthers have to steal a Gators or Rayz game along with beating the Pirates and Ducks to comfortably get in but they could get in with 6 wins so Pirates and Ducks are must win games.

9. Ducks 2-6-1; VS Copperheads(1-8),VS Classics(6-3),VS Panthers(4-5),VS P.Cobras(4-5),VS P.Cobras(4-5)- New life for the Ducks and a schedule that can be very manageable especially when you have Cam Newton and Adrian Peterson. I wouldn't be shocked to see this team win out or go 4-1 and get in at 7-6-1 or 6-7-1 the final three game stretch will be huge.

10. Deacons 2-6-1; VS Kings (6-3),VS P.Cobras (4-5),VS Copperheads (1-8),VS Classics (6-3), VS Classics (6-3) - They need to go 4-1 or 5-0 on this schedule just like the Ducks above but it is definitely possible. They gave the top Rayz a good scare and could beat the Kings then find a way in.

It wouldn't shock me to see any of these teams in as the six seed. I honestly think the winner may only have 6 wins but the top teams should be rooting for the Panthers, Ducks, and even the Deacons to not make it cause their teams are strong enough to catch fire and walk away with a title if they get in. I know the Pirates aren't that strong and unless Best and Hillis get back soon the P.Cobras probably aren't. All we know for sure is that this is going to be one heck of a race to watch.

Welker A King

A very mutually beneficial trade as the Kings move some depth to get a little stronger and the Cobras try to get more viable starters for a playoff push.

W.Dogz Get: 5th and 4th (2013)

It's safe to say the Weiner Dogz are starting to rebuild next up may be the trade or trades of Rivers and Austin.

WEEK 9 MATCH UPS

The top 4 teams are all playing against each other this week in possible GFFL Bowl Match ups C.Falcons (6-2) VS Gators (6-2); Rayz (7-1) VS Kings (6-2). While the Classics and Purple Cobras face off in a huge divisional match up which if the Cobras were to win they would own the tie breaker over the Classics for the Central Division title; the Panthers (3-5) play a must win against the Weiner Dogz to make sure they stay in the wildcard hunt with a rougher schedule coming up; the Deacons and Ducks also play a huge game with the winner being able to get back into the thick of the playoff hunt. The Pirates hope to stay in the lead for the sixth seed with a match up against a team (Copperheads) that many GFFL analysis had them at the bottom with.

So how is it all going to shake out and how could the playoff picture look afterwards?

Gators (6-2) OVER C.Falcons (6-2) - This will be a close one with the C.Falcons only having an advantage at runningback but it's a big one. I'll take with a slight hint of bias my own team in a close game.

Kings (6-2) OVER Rayz (7-1) - It sucks the Kings won't have McFadden in a heck of a match up against Denver in this one but this will be another extremely close game. Eli Manning plays the terrible NE secondary which for one week will allow him to look like Rodgers. I barely take Kings in a game that could be decided by a point.

Classics (5-3) OVER P.Cobras (4-4) - Yet another close match up as the Classics aren't as good as they look on paper thanks to CJnok. The Purple Cobras are very beat up though and they need Hillis to play more than anything I think the Classics pull it out by 10 or so.

Panthers (3-5) OVER W.Dogz (2-6) - The Panthers should have no problem demolishing the Weiner Dogz to keep their playoff hopes alive while all but turning the lights off for the Dogz' season.

Deacons (2-6) OVER Ducks (2-6) - No Newton + No Peterson = No win. The Deacons will get a much needed playoff boost while it won't be over at least not yet for the Ducks.

Copperheads (1-7) OVER Pirates (4-4) - The Pirates are going to eventually come back down to reality what better game than this to do so. While the Pirates have a phenomenal foundation for the future they aren't a playoff team this year pure and simple.

END OF WEEK 9 PROJECTED STANDINGS

DIVISION LEADERS

Someone is going to get in with a losing record. Even if you're a 2-7 team being 2 out with 5 to play is not a very daunting task a trade here or there before at the deadline could punch you in. You've gotta decide if it's worth some future picks for a little instant success. If you think if your team got in you'd truly have a shot at rolling off 3 wins in a row and claiming a title then it definitely is.

MJD for Hillis Swap

Gators Get: HB Jones-Drew

P.Cobras Get: HB Hillis


In the rare one for one trade the Purple Cobras are hoping Hillis can wake up and have a huge second half.
