Playoff Picture Update
With one week to go, here’s a look at the playoff picture:
East Division
Art Schlichter took his best shot, but The Big Hurt is still atop the East with one week to go. Rick Moranis and Art can both catch him, especially Rick, who has his wild card bet available.
North Division
T-Ferg went bold and bet his wild card, but the Titans let him down, putting Gordon Bombay in great position. Gordon still has his wild card bet available, but given his $300 lead, he would only be using it if he were taking a shot at the overall.
South Division
Thine is way out in front and should take this home, barring terrible Week 17. Technically, Patrick Bateman, Dr. Oge and Boss Hardigan could catch him (especially since Oge and Boss have their wild card bets), but it would be miraculous if they could unseat Thine.
West Division
After a horrible week by Chris B. Corey, Kenny Powers now enjoys a big cushion for the West lead. Chris, The People’s Champ, and Mr. Marbles can catch him. The Champ and Mr. Marbles both have their wild card bets and it’s likely they’ll use them since they are still on the outside looking in for the playoffs.
Overall Title
Currently, Thine is way out in front, and Gordon Bombay has the best chance of catching him, that is if Gordie bets his wild card in Week 17.
Wild Card Standings
Patrick Bateman had a perfect Week 16 and is in a great spot for the playoffs. Yaz won $1,000 last week and currently holds a postseason berth. But nothing is for certain and anything can happen with these six spots. Dr. Oge, Boss Hardigan, and Rick Moranis are all in playoff position, and all have their wild card bets still available. Art Schlichter is currently outside looking in by the slimmest of tiebreaker margins. There are many others still within striking distance, including The People’s Champ and Mr. Marbles who still have their wild card bets. Glimmers of hope for The Beard of Zeus, Face, Karl Farbman, and Bayonnaise as well, but they would need a lot of help.

Playoff Picture Update
In lieu of Winners & Losers this week, we bring you a playoff picture update:
East Division
The Big Hurt is in the catbird’s seat right now, with a $400 lead. However, that pesky Rick Moranis still has his wild card bet, though sources say he will be shy to use it if a playoff berth is on the line. OJ and Art Schlichter still have an outside shot at the division but would need a lot of help.
North Division
It’s been a back and forth race all season for T-Ferg and Gordon Bombay. Currently T-Ferg has a $200 lead. Both franchises have their wild card bets. The Beard of Zeus rose up the standings this week and still could have a chance if those two stumble.
South Division
Thine has it all but locked up, barring a miraculous run these last two weeks by Dr. Oge, or if Thine has a Don Mattingly-esque run of picking games and falters.
West Division
Kenny Powers is in great position, but Chris B. Corey is not far behind. There’s a lot to be decided in the West since The People’s Champ, Mr. Marbles, Bayonnaise, and Chalky Studebaker all still have their wild card bets.
Overall Title
Thine leads right now, but T-Ferg and Gordon Bombay will definitely have their say in the final outcome. Kenny Powers and The Big Hurt could grab the regular season crown with a strong finish as well.
Wild Card Standings
It will be a crazy final two weeks for the six non-division winning playoff spots. There are many big bets still available, so it will come down to the wire. Right now, Patrick Bateman, who is tied with three other franchises at $1,400, is missing out on making the playoffs by the winning percentage tiebreaker.
