This was a very rough week for me in fantasy football. I not only lost all three of my games, but I may have just been knocked out of the playoffs with my loss in the official POD league. Michael Turner and Terrell Owens did their best to give me a shot at winning, but I simply didn't have enough fire power.

In the POD overflow league, I lost 111.52-94.16 and had a terrible coach rating of 73%. My optimum was 128.02, mainly because I had Philip Rivers, Leon Washington, and Mark Bradley on the bench. I'm still 8-4 in that league and will probably win my division, so no big worries there.
In the SBN/AOL league, I'm playing for the division title and a first-round bye. I have clinched a playoff spot already, but I am going to have to fight off the second-place team in my division, who is now only a game behind for first-place after beating me 120.4-108. Lance Moore did his best last night to keep me in the game, but my opponent had Aaron Rodgers, Michael Turner, and the Buccaneers defense/special team. Those three put up over 90 points combined by themselves, so it's not a surprise that I lost.
With one week left in the regular season, here are the standings in the official POD league (teams in italics would make the playoffs if the season already ended):
Charlie Sanders Division
- Just go away Favre (9-3)
- Underdogs (7-5)
- Better Than Millen (6-6)
- Maize 'n' Blue Jays (5-7)
Bobby Layne Division
- SnotKnocker's (6-6)
- Motown Madmen (5-7)
- West Coast Lions (4-8)
- LA Leos (4-8)
Doak Walker Division
-
The Gosder Cherilus Posse (9-3)
-
Calvin and the Chipmunks (8-4)
-
Detroit's Few Good Men (7-5)
- Rudys Warhawks (2-10)
For me to make the playoffs, I would have to win my game and hope that one of the 7-5 teams lose. Since Detroit's Few Good Men is playing the worst team in the league, Rudys Warhawks, I'm going to have to hope that Just go away Favre gets a "W" over Underdogs. Should Underdogs and I tie, I would probably win the tiebreaker as I will likely end up scoring more points than him (my cushion right now is over 100 points I believe). The final week of the season certainly will be exciting with playoff spots on the line.
