Super Bowl Standings
Commentary: Both underdogs covered in the conference title games, and four FMFL franchises won $500, including the three tied for the lead – Karl Farbman, The People’s Champ, and Will Cover. Babe split and won $100, and he’s in the four spot. Don Mattingly got back into contention, and Larisa is hanging around, too. Given the unique betting rules for the Super Bowl, you only need to be within at least $600 of first, second, or third to have a chance at the money. These six franchises all can still win the title. Bud Fox, Blossom Russo, and Ron Mexico are too far back to get any of the loot.

Conference Championship Standings
Commentary: It was survival of the fittest in the divisional round, as only three franchises made money for the week – Babe, The People’s Champ, and Ron Mexico. All three only won $100, but Babe used it to pull into first place with a $200 lead on four other franchises. Karl Farbman, Larisa Oleynik, and Will Cover all had identical bets, and remain in the thick of it with two weeks to go. Down went Don Mattingly, dropping $500 and now $600 off the pace. And it will take a miracle for Bud Fox or Blossom Russo to get a piece of the prize pool after both falling to -$1,000.
In order to be within striking distance for the Super Bowl, a franchise only needs to be within $600 of the lead to have a chance, so there’s a good possibility there will be many franchises in the hunt on the final day of the season.
