Two big games will decide who will play for the Bulletproof Tiger and more importantly bragging rights for the next year.
The one seed, powerhouse Wesley's Balls versus the #4 seed, Xplodey Coyotes. Both teams have been on a tear with the Coyotes winning their last 6 including last weeks playoff win and the Balls have not lost a game since week 5. This should be a brawl! Wesley is a couple TD favorite but don't count out the upstart Xplodey's.
The other half of the bracket pits the #2 and #3 seeds with the Blue Room Champion Pasadena Mudslide up against perennial juggernaut and the only team to ever win the Bulletproof Tiger, Dirty Sizouth. On paper it looks like a Mudslide advantage, but don't count out the playoff experience of the defending champs.
In NIT news, Make A Color, Frat Party @ the Pankake and Zomby and his Woofs all won last week in the round robin circle jerk that is the consolation bracket. It should be great fun to find out which team is truly 7th best.

Playoff Week One
I really wish I had not been involved in this weeks playoff game so I could tell the story without any bias or bragging...but I cannot so I am gonna tell it anyway. Xplodey Coyotes Vs. Asian Assassins is one of the games that will go down in the annals of league history.
To begin with the point projection was one point difference, so you knew it was two evenly matched teams before any games had been played, combined with the stakes, it was going to be bloody.
After 3 quarters of the early games, the Coyotes held a comfortable 50 point lead thanks to the Eagles clunker of a performance. Then within 7 game minutes in the forth quarter the Eagles put up 4 touchdowns on the Giants which brought the Assassins within 6 points thanks to Vick and Jackson.
The 4 o'clock games proved to be a veritable Coyote killer with Knowshon Moreno getting injured in the first quarter, Reggie Wayne putting up a gentlemen's 3 points and Dustin Keller being Dustin Keller.
When the dust settled on Sunday, the Assassins had a 114-83 lead with the Assassins out of players and the Coyotes having Johnny Knox and the Bears D left to play.
Early in the first quarter of the Bears game Johnny Knox caught a 76 yard bomb for a TD and there was hope for the Coyotes. What followed was the most excruciating three quarters of football I have ever watched.
Having to count on your defense to score points for you is a sticky wicket. So many things have to happen, like punt returns for TD's, interceptions, fumbles and the most terrifying of them all, stopping the other team. The D would score then Vikings would score and the points go back down.
In the end the Coyotes won with a 117-114 squeaker. It was a fantastic game to watch and win or lose would have been very cool...but winning it was amazing! What a great game and a reminder why fantasy football is so much fun.
The best part of the game was being on the smackboards and watching the game with everyone talking smack, shitting their pants as well. Rob and I were texting back and forth the entire game...I have 17 texts of WTF! This is my favorite league just for this reason!
Thanks you guys for a great season whomever ends up winning the Bulletproof Tiger!

#6 Seed Playoff Breakdown
Here is my analysis of what the final playoff spots come down to.
You need 8 wins to be "in" as of right now. 4 teams have 8 wins and are clinched. Assassins have 7 wins as of week 13, but the Assassins have all of the tie breakers handled. I will explain.
Assassins win in week 14, the question is moot. Assassins lose week 14, they have tie breakers of record and head to head against Make a Color and Jimmy's Jammers. The Steel Curtain has the head to head lead over Assassins, but for that to happen, Assassins would still own enough tie breakers to get the 5 spot.
Make a Color has the clearest path to the #6 spot. Win and they are in! The Curtain and the Jammers both need a win in this weeks head to head and a loss by Make a Color. See the earlier post on playoff tie combinations.
If I have anything wrong, please let me know, but I am pretty confident in my playoff math.

Playoff Tie Breakers
How do playoff tie breakers work?
PLAYOFF SEEDING & TIE-BREAKERS
When your league converts into playoff mode the system automatically generates a seed for each team in the league based on the regular season results. The seeds determine where the system places each team in the playoffs. The primary factors which determine seeds are:
When your league converts into playoff mode the system automatically generates a seed for each team in the league based on the regular season results. The seeds determine where the system places each team in the playoffs. The primary factors which determine seeds are:
- Division Winner(s)
- Winning Percentage
- Overall record *
- Head-to-head record
- Overall points scored
- Division record
- Overall points-against
- Coin Flip
In the event that two or more teams have the same winning percentage at the conclusion of the Regular Season, and have not played the same number of Head-to-Head games between them, the following tie-breaking system determines seed:
- Overall record
- Overall points scored
- Division record
- Overall points-against
- Coin Flip
NOTE:In LM Leagues only, if your league's rules do not agree with the system tiebreaker rules described above the playoff seeds can easily be changed by the League Manager. To edit the playoff seeds/bracket simply go to the Playoff Matchups page and click on the "Edit" link.
TIE-BREAKER FOR PLAYOFF GAMES
The system does not observe your league's Regular Season tiebreaker rule during the playoffs. Rather, in the event that two teams have the same number of points at the conclusion of their playoff game, the system tiebreaker awards the win to the higher seeded team.

NOTE: In LM Leagues, the League Manager has the ultimate say on which teams advance using the "Edit Playoffs" page. Each league may establish their own tiebreaker system with the League Manager advancing the team which wins it. If your league uses its own playoff tiebreakers we highly recommend pre-defining them and posting them prominently on the League Office page. As an exception, "Most Points from Bench" is an option only available for grandfathered Custom Leagues which used such a tiebreaker rule in the past season.
