Playoff Picture & Wild Card Bets
In lieu of Winners & Losers this week, here’s an updated look at the playoff picture, starting with the divisional races:
East: Karl Farbman holds a $700 lead over Waldo, but still has his wild card bet available, so Gordon Bombay is still technically in play as well.
North: Kenny Powers has clinched the division since he has a $2,000 lead on the rest of the competition.
South: Kiko Garcia has also clinched, since he leads Bud Fox by $1,200 with only one week to go.
West: The tightest divisional race is between Ron Mexico and Rick Moranis, with Ron $200 ahead of Rick entering Week 17. It’s a two-horse race for the division crown.
Wild Card Race: Rick Moranis has clinched a playoff berth regardless of what he does in the final week. The others that are currently holding wild card spots are all vulnerable. OJ currently has the fourth spot (out of six), and also still has his wild card bet. There are ten franchises on the outside looking in that are within range ($1,000) of the final two spots. Both Yaz and Dr. Oge can make big moves with their wild card bets in Week 17 and jump up in the standings.
Overall Title: After a big week by Kenny Powers, he’s $400 ahead of the rest of the field and the overall crown is now between four franchises: Kenny, Ron, Rick, and Karl. Karl still has his wild card bet on the shelf.
Wild Card Bets – The following franchises still have their wild card bets available:
East – Karl Farbman
North – OJ
South – None
West – Dr. Oge, Yaz
