Funny Money Power Rankings – Week 9

The real winner in Week 9 was the oddsmaker – two games were pushes, and three other games were within two points. The league put a lot of money on Buffalo, including Babe, who bet his wild card, and thus, a lot of money was lost this week. The Phoenix also dropped his wild card bet, while Mr. DeBlasis won his. Halfway home, the playoff picture is coming into focus.

Here are your updated power rankings:

Biggest rise: Mr. DeBlasis: was 13, now 8
Biggest drop: Babe: was 10, now 15

(Last week’s rank; Current total)

1. Gordon Bombay (2; $1,700)

Weather the storm in Week 8 but just inching up the standings, while keeping Mr. Marbles in his rearview mirror.

2. Blossom Russo (3; $1,700)

Lucky for her, two of Russo’s divisional opponents lost their wild card bets, making his lead in the division an astonishing $1,900.

3. Mr. Marbles (4; $1,500)

Kept pace with Bombay, and is currently in a playoff position.

4. Kimmy Gibbler (1; $1,500)

Lost share of the overall lead, but didn’t slip too far back.

5. The People’s Champ (8; $900)

Plays musical chairs with Bayonnaise and remains a shout away from Gibbler for the South crown.

6. Karl Farbman (9; $1,000)

Managed to eke out one win and one push to take back control in the West Division. He and Hardigan have flip-flopped in the last few weeks, but Farbman has a $500 cushion.

7. Bayonnaise (5; $800)

Having already used his wild card bet, Bayonnaise needs to pull out some winning weeks if he wants to keep pace. He’s already play his ace card.

8. Mr. DeBlasis (13; $700)

A huge week for DeBlasis, as he rode dem Rayyyvens to a wild card win. This gets him back into the mix, but can he run with the big dogs?

9. Teddy KGB (6; $600)

Lost $500. Time for the wild card bet. Do it.

10. Boss Hardigan (7; $500)

Slipped back in the West, and was lucky not to lose $500 on the week, saved by the New England push.

11. The 21th Precinct (14; $300)

Moved up in the division and has hung around long enough to make some noise in the playoff race. Is Week 9 the week he gets that $500 push he needs?

12. Thunder Lips (12; $200)

A mediocre week for Thunder Lips, who only bet, gulp, two teams this week! We’ll see how this strategy works out in the weeks to come.

13. Brian Piccolo (11; $200)

Dropped down again, and is now fourth in the West.

14. Bummy (15; -$200)

Might be time to make a run for the division. Babe and the Phoenix have dropped back, and Russo is running away with it.

15. Babe (10; $-400)

Lost $1,000 for the week, but couldn’t have done it in better company.

16. The Beard of Zeus (20; -$1,000)

AND THE BEARD IS ALIIIIIIIIIVVVVEEEEEEE!

17. Rick Moranis (17; -$700)

Can’t fight as well as his Phils. Needs to get back into things.

18. Chris B. Corey (16; -$800)

Needs to win some games, and needs to stop trying so hard to make jokes with his bets (for Chris, Atlanta = The Real Housewives of Eric Snow).

19. The Phoenix (18; -$1,100)

His wild card bet across the pond didn’t come through, and you can almost guarantee that this Phoenix won’t be rising any time soon.

20. Waldo Geraldo Faldo (19; $-1,200)

Fell back again. Lost $500. But a Dewey Beach trip might have cured what ails him.
