Commentary: The big shuffle this week was in the West Division, where The People’s Champ lost $500 and his one week reign at the top, and Gordon Bombay took a commanding lead going into the final week of the regular season. Thanks to a late Jason Hanson field goal, Chris B. Corey is hanging on to his lead by a thread in the North. Blossom Russo has locked up his division, but leads the overall standings by a slight margin. It’s anyone’s game going into Week 17. In the wild card race, Mr. Marbles lost $500 and all but eliminated himself from the playoffs. Karl Farbman needs a lot to happen in front of him to sneak into the postseason. Interesting betting strategy will come into play this week. If you’re behind, not only do you have to make correct picks, but they have to be opposite of the leaders (which will come into play in the playoffs as well). On top of that many teams have nothing to play for this week if they have already clinched their spot in the playoffs. A lot depends on how long coaches play their starters (come on Dungy, leave Peyton in the entire game for the love of God!). Also, Gordon Bombay and The People’s Champ both have their wild card bets remaining. Fat chance that Gordon Bombay will bet his, knowing that if he wins $500, he can’t be caught for the division. But The People’s Champ either has to bet his wild card, or make regular bets and hope that Gordon Bombay loses money in order to have a chance at the division crown.
