DRUNK MONKEYS CLINCH HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE
...and everything else is still a mess.

Week Twelve in the Subsim Fantasy Football League. It's been a long time coming, but finally, a Cleveland based football team has won the regular season and will have home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

But let's not forget the rest of the league. We'll get the largest offensive score this year, we'll get the details on the mid game suspension of a player, we'll get the miracle in Oregon and then we'll go to the count backs, again, to make sense of the league.

And we'll do all of that right after you do this.

NOMINATE SUBSIM FANTASY FOOTBALL FOR BEST OF SUBSIM.

Ahh, Thanksgiving. There's nothing like the start of the holidays with all the edibles. Turkey, green beans, pecan pie and a serving of skinned cat. The Australian Taipans came to the Carolina's and put an absolute hiding of Coach FYC and the Black Cats. The Cats started Amari Cooper (WR) Thursday who put an impressive 44 individual points up. The Cats had listed starters Anthony Collins (RB) and Travis Kelce (TE) who both had notes from their mommy they had to stay home Thanksgiving Day weekend. The Taipans came to town and despite their sub .500% record, have been the highest scoring team for most of the year. The Taipans receiving corp of Juju Smith Schuster (WR) TY Hilton (WR) and Adrien Thielan (WR) showed the way through the air to combine for 103 pints. The Taipans collectively as a team came together and put up the highest score of the year to win by a mile. Taipans annihilate the Black Cats 220 - 147

In Cleveland, the Drunk Monkeys were looking to lock up the #1 seed through the playoffs with a win over the Guns of Hochuli. Now in fairness, I looked at the program for the starters of the Gunners on Wednesday and didn't come back to it until Monday. I had to check to see when the Gunners acquired Corey Davis (WR). They didn't, they drafted him. Monkeys started early Thursday with the Gunners and this was a close game as it continued into Sunday. The lead went back and forth and the line in Vegas began to sway. Bookies made their mark Sunday night when the Monkeys finally brought out the starting QB, Kirk Cousins and WR Stefon Diggs who put up a combined 60 points, The Gunners were let down by Green Bay (DEF) for allowing so many points that it came down to Monday night (again) with Corey Davis (RB) Left to shoulder the load. Davis was going to need a career night with over 100 receiving yards and two touchdowns. . He only managed to earn 96 receiving yards and one touchdown. Drunk Monkeys hold off the hard finishing Guns of Hoculi to win the game 160 - 139.

Our marquee game of the week was a balltearer. The two powerhouses of the league were fighting for a .500% record and each individually trying to win the division. The Who Dat Nation Rises were hosting the Helmand Nighthawks in a "do or die" match. Matt Ryan (QB) came out and lit up the scoreboard for the Nighthawks, but, he had way too many turnovers and interceptions to give justice to his heroic efforts. The Nighthawks were marching towards a convincing win when finally, the Who Dat Nation Rises brought the crowd to life. Cameron McCaffrey ran and received over 100 yards in each category, and scored two touchdowns for an individual points haul of 58 to put the Nation back in the game late Sunday.The game was not without incident though as Leonard Fournette was ejected from the game in their third quarter for a breach of the Fantasy Football Conduct Code Section 8 - Being An Idiot in a Public Place. The behavior by Fournette leaves him inactive for a week and put the balance of the Nighthawks game in the hands of Deandre Hopkins. Needing 17 points in a come from behind win, Hopkins (WR) achieved the goal early in the last quarter of the game, to give the Who Dat Nation a much needed win over the Helmand Nighthawks. Final score in Oregon, Who Dat Nation 167.36 narrowly defeat Helmand Nighthawks 165.28.

So where does that leave the league. We'll start with what we know, then we'll get into the count backs.

#1 Seed: Drunk Monkeys.
The win over the Guns of Hoculi today moves the Drunk Monkeys to 10-2. The win assures them the league #1 seeding and home field advantage throughout the playoffs. The Monkeys are not, however, the highest scoring team in the league.

#2 through 4 seeding.
The Australian Taipans with a 6-6 record are the highest scoring team in the league and normally, would have the #2 seeding. However, with the Drunk Monkeys securing the #1 seeding, the remainder of the Surface Skimmers Division are considered ineligible for the #2 seeding, which must be awarded to the leader of the Sub Skimmers Division.

So now we look at the Sub Simmers Division for the (current) divisional lead. The win by the Who Dat Nation over the Helmand Nighthawks elevates them to 6-6, but their divisional record is 2-3. The Helmand Nighthawks who lost today, are also 6-6 but their divisional record is 3-2. The Helmand Nighthawks at the end of this week, assume the #2 seed. The Who Dat Nation then return for the second count back against the Australian Taipans, as we have documented, have scored more points than any other team so they assume the #3 seeding. The Who Dat Nation, despite their win over the Nighthawks this week, loose two (2) count backs and fall to the #4 seed.

The Consolation Series

The Black Cats loss to the Taipans drop them into a sub .500% record and they have sole ownership of the #5 seed. The Cats are only one game away from winning the division however.

The loss by the Guns of Hochuli result in a 3-9 record, and the Gunners become the first team eliminated from the Championship Series. The Gunners remaining games will still determine the top four play off positions, and who the Gunners will meet as the #6 team in the league.

So where do we go next week. While the Australian Taipans and the Drunk Monkeys game looks like a shoot out, it's the Helmand Nighthawks hosting the Black Cats which has the most implications. A win by the Nighthawks will lock up the #2 seeding for the post season, but a win by the Black Cats will muddle the Sub Simmers division even further, leaving the entire division up for grabs in week fourteen. A lot on the line for both teams, and while the Nighthawks are early favorites, the Black Cats have one win and one loss against the Nighthawks. A win by the Black Cats and one other favorable result will see the Nighthawks drop out of the Championship Series. A lot to play for next week.

A lot still on the line in the Sub Simmers division.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

For the effort of 342 yards and 3 passing touchdowns, and rushing for an additional 17 yards, for a total score of 38.38 points, the ASW are proud to present Kirk Cousins (QB) of the Drunk Monkeys the Week Twelve MVT.
