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.
