Playoff Race Updates:
– East – Both Kenny Powers and Boss Hardigan went winless in Week 16, so Kenny maintains his $500 lead, but Hardigan still has his big bet available.
– North – Bud Fox enjoying a $400 cushion over Babe, and Bud still has his wild card bet in his back pocket. Larisa Oleynik is only $600 back with a wild card bet available. T-Ferg has stumbled lately and still has a chance but will need a WC win and for others to fall back.
– South – The most interesting divisional race, as Rick Moranis still has the slimmest of leads over The Big Hurt and The People’s Champ. All three still have their wild card bets, so it may come down to who makes the first move. Bayonnaise sitting behind all three hoping for the world to burn and to sneak in and take the South crown.
– West – Patrick Bateman has been perfect for three straight weeks and has a $500 lead on Judge Smails, who is fresh off a wild card win. Bateman still has his wild card bet available. OJ with an outside chance if he can close with a strong fortnight.
– Overall – This race has become more and more intriguing with Kenny Powers and Boss Hardigan falling back to earth the last few weeks. Kenny still holds the lead, but now six other franchises are within $900 of him. All six trailing have their wild card bets, so anything can happen.
– Wild Card Race – Larisa Oleynik sits in the final spot via tiebreaker winning percentage over Luther Lavay (currently LO is at 0.578 and LL is at 0.527). Several others within striking distance of the final few spots with big bets floating around.
