Week 17 Recap
With just one week to go, here’s the latest on the playoff races:
East Division: Babe stumbled a bit and Biff closed the gap, but Tannen trails by $700 headed into the final week. OJ still has a glimmer of hope at the division with his wild card bet, but would need to be perfect and there to be chaos above him.
North Division: Two-horse race in the North as Karl Hungus pulls ahead of The Notorious ABT after Karl’s perfect week. He’s up by $200, but ABT has his wild card bet.
South Division: Judge Smails now has a $400 lead on Shecky and an $800 lead on Yaz. However, Both Shecky and Yaz can use their wild card bets in the final week.
West Division: Don Mattingly’s winning wild card bet puts him in the catbird’s seat in the West with a $400 lead on Chris B. Corey.
Overall Title: Judge Smails and Babe are deadlocked at $3,300 and Smails has the tiebreaker for now. Don Mattingly is just $100 back with six others in reach of the lead. It’s notable that Shecky, The Notorious ABT, and Yaz all have their wild card bets left and can take big swings at the overall title.
Wild Card Race: Bayonnaise dropped back in the playoff race, and OJ took his place. OJ now holds the last spot at $2,100. In addition to Shecky, The Notorious ABT, and Yaz, OJ also has his wild card bet. Of those within relative striking distance, Chalky Studebaker and Donnie Jeffcoat also has their big bet and can try to make a run at the final spots. A lot can happen in the last week, especially if there are common bets amongst those in postseason position.

Week 16 Recap
With two weeks remaining, here’s an update on the playoff races:
East Division: Babe continues his hot season with another perfect week and has a decent cushion on the rest of the pack, with Biff Tannen the closest competitor. OJ would need to hit on his wild card and have two perfect weeks to make a run at the division crown.
North Division: The Notorious ABT holds the lead and is the lone franchise in the division yet to use that wild card bet. However, Karl Hungus has kept the heat on, just trailing by $200 with two weeks left.
South Division: The South arms race continues, and currently Judge Smails has the percentage tiebreaker (64% to 60%) over Shecky for the division lead. Shecky still has the coveted wild card bet, as do Bayonnaise ($600 behind), and Yaz ($800 behind), so a lot can still happen in the last fortnight.
West Division: Don Mattingly and Chris B. Corey have been battling for the last month or so, with Don on top right now by $100. This looks to be a two-horse race, and the Donald still has his wild card bet.
Overall Title: Babe sits atop the heap right now, but there are several behind him that have wild card bets in their back pockets. We are approaching near historic totals for best overall finish (currently held by Boss Hardigan who finished 2021 at $3,900).
Wild Card Race: With the final spot held by Yaz at $2,000, we are at the highest last playoff spot in recent memory. Several in the wild card race are also vying for division crowns, too, with OJ just outside the playoff picture but still holding onto his wild card bet.
