CFFL40 Week 13

 Week 13 is in the books.  Only one more week to go.  Hard to believe we are looking at the last week of the regular season and it seems just like yesterday I was hanging with Derek Stevens, Owner/CEO of the Circa Resort and Casino!  All but two teams have clinched playoff spots and two divisions have been decided.  Krauts and Animals are Division champs while Warbirds, Chislers, Cocktails, and Dragons all have punched their post season tickets.

Here is what happened in Week 13:

In the North...Crew had no chance against the Chislers led by Superman Josh Allen who scored 20 points by passing two TDs, running one in and catching one.  He actually had his own 10 point play by throwing a pass and then scoring on a lateral.  So the box score reads Allen 7 yard TD pass from Allen...The Animals needed OT to beat the Ferrets and clinch the North.  Game was tied 34-34 but in OT the home team Animals had Caleb Williams as first back up and he scored 12 points for the win!

In the South...The Dragons dropped a big game to the Warbirds 42-17, dropping from the number 2 seed to the number 7.  Warbirds completed the sweep of the Dragons and are 5-0 in the South with their sights on the South crown.  Joe Burrow got them 12 points and not that they needed it, but then they got two more pick sixes on Monday Night (Broncos)...Titans just playing out the season took down the Killer Bees with 12 points from Russell Wilson, that included a 10 point connection to Pickens.

In the East...Two more teams just playing the season out, the Juggernauts and the Sinistars.  The Juggs easily won 43-19 behind 2 Njoku TDs and 8 points from superstar Will Levis...Despite the East wrapped up by the Krauts, the Cocktails needed the win to clinch the playoffs.  They would prevail 31-21 led by two Love to Reed 10 point connections!

Love and Reed celebrate!

In the West...The Killers defeated the Legion 41-19 as they continue to make a run at the playoffs.  They were led by 12 points from Terry McLaurin and a 10 point connection from Tua to Hill.  If they can keep it up, this team might be dangerous in the playoffs...The Whales were able to keep a half game distance with the Killers by beating the Crush 36-32.  The Eagles trio of Hurts, Barkley, and Goedert combined for 22 points.

In the Hunt

Ferrets 6-7 (401)

Legion 6-7 (378)

Crew 6-7 (350)

Bees 6-7 (296)

North:

Animals have clinched the North even if they lose and the Chislers win since Animals swept the Chislers.

Ferrets in with win and Killer loss, unless Legion win and outscore the Ferrets by 23 points.

South:

Warbirds clinch the division with a win or a loss by the Dragons.

Dragons need a win and a Warbird loss to clinch division.

Bees in with win and losses from Killers, Ferrets, Legion and Crew.

West:

Killers at Whales for the division. 

If Killers lose they need Ferrets, Legion, Crew and Bees lose.

If Whales lose they need a Ferret loss (Ferrets won head to head) or if multiple teams tied at 7-7 it would go to points and Whales had significant advantage.
