Week 12 Results

Week 12 is over and the scores are in. The playoff picture is still fuzzy, but slowly clearing up as three spots are now taken, leaving only 3.

We'll start there; 5687 who clinched the Delaware Division last week won again. As expected the Bears took care of business versus the hapless Rams, 27-3. That coupled with the 3 point win the Redskins eeked out over Seattle moved 5687 back into the #1 seed over Mark Wood by 3 points... for now. With wins by both the 'Skins and the Bucs, Mark Wood and Jeff Gravatt have become the two newbies to the playoff scene, respectively, while continuing to battle it out for the Sussex Division. They've battled it out all season, but Mark Wood's point differential gives him a huge edge. In order to lose the division crown, Mark Wood will have to lose while Jeff Gravatt wins, or win by 80 points less than Jeff Gravatt, or lose by 80 points more than Jeff Gravatt.

The Cowboys have helped 6 individual players hang on to their playoff hopes while dashing the hopes of one. Andy73, Monica, kerri78, cameron21, Stephanie, and wissinger are still in the hunt thanks to the Cowboys 35-22 victory over the Niners. That game, however, eliminated Eric from playoff contention. Eric along with 5 others found themselves pushed out of contention. Even though the Colts won23-20 over the Chargers on Sunday Night Football, Pirates was still eliminated from a chance at the playoffs, as well as a win by the Bears couldn't help TriciaH, and a Patriot win over Dolphins, 48-28, didn't help Joey Gravatt; It did, however, keep Jeff C.'s dim playoff hopes alive. A loss by the Broncos... scratch that... a drubbing of the Broncos by the Raiders, 31-10 (IN DENVER!!!) helped kinger. It helped kinger march his way out of the playoffs. The Steelers 27-10 victory on Thursday night, coupled with the Cowboys win, kept the Kent Division deadlocked, with jwark slightly extending his points differential lead over kerri78. Staying in the Kent Division, the Saints helped dayzd toe's playoff hopes with a big 51-29 win over the Packers in New Orleans.

A couple of other notable games in the NFL: Brett Favre, Brett Favre, Brett Favre!!! That's all we're going hear from here on out as he, Thomas Jones, and Leon Washington ROLLED over the no longer undefeated Titans in Nashville. If you had any reservations that the Giants are the best team in football this year, that, along with the way the Giants' three-headed rushing monster ran all over the Ravens' no. 1 ranked rushing defense last week, should extinguish those thoughts. The Eagles just plain suck. A TIE last week in Cincinatti and this week they just got DEMOLISHED by the Ravens. McNabb was benched after the first half in favor of second year "Rookie" Kolb, for performance issues. What issues, you may ask... Well 2 picks and a lost fumble will get you benched pretty quickly in the NFL. Of course, Kolb didn't fair much better against an ANGRY Ravens' D. He was intercepted two times with one of them from the 2 inch line being run back from 8 yards deep in the endzone for a new NFL record 108 yd pick-6. The Eagles bent over and took it, 36-7 from my boys. Perhaps the biggest surprise, though, is the victory the Raiders put on the Broncos, as I mentioned earlier, IN DENVER.

So now, with one week left there are 10 players still alive and only three playoff spots open. The playoff clinching scenarios are posted with any scenario that maybe determined by points differential (example, jwark and kerri78 both win) not broken down.
