Week 17 Recap
With just one week to go, here’s the latest on the playoff races:
East Division: Babe stumbled a bit and Biff closed the gap, but Tannen trails by $700 headed into the final week. OJ still has a glimmer of hope at the division with his wild card bet, but would need to be perfect and there to be chaos above him.
North Division: Two-horse race in the North as Karl Hungus pulls ahead of The Notorious ABT after Karl’s perfect week. He’s up by $200, but ABT has his wild card bet.
South Division: Judge Smails now has a $400 lead on Shecky and an $800 lead on Yaz. However, Both Shecky and Yaz can use their wild card bets in the final week.
West Division: Don Mattingly’s winning wild card bet puts him in the catbird’s seat in the West with a $400 lead on Chris B. Corey.
Overall Title: Judge Smails and Babe are deadlocked at $3,300 and Smails has the tiebreaker for now. Don Mattingly is just $100 back with six others in reach of the lead. It’s notable that Shecky, The Notorious ABT, and Yaz all have their wild card bets left and can take big swings at the overall title.
Wild Card Race: Bayonnaise dropped back in the playoff race, and OJ took his place. OJ now holds the last spot at $2,100. In addition to Shecky, The Notorious ABT, and Yaz, OJ also has his wild card bet. Of those within relative striking distance, Chalky Studebaker and Donnie Jeffcoat also has their big bet and can try to make a run at the final spots. A lot can happen in the last week, especially if there are common bets amongst those in postseason position.
