GUNNERS CLINCH #1
Home Field Advantage Is Secured

Week 12 in the Subsim Fantasy Football League. The longest week of the year, and apparently that is replicated by the longest faces of some coaches this week. We'll tell you about the Gunners plans as they host the Championship Series, we'll tell you about one team who will be in the Championship series, and we'll tell you about one who won't be in the Championship Series.

All this and more, right after this very important announcement.

NOMINATE SUBSIM FANTASY FOOTBALL LEAGUE FOR BEST OF SUBSIM.

Let's start with the easiest to report game of the week. Our league leading Guns of Hochuli traveled to the Drunk Monkeys home field where they had a record attendance of 16. The packed crowd waited as the Gunners took the field looking to secure home field advantage throughout the post season. Once again, the Monkeys failed to show up with a complete team, and that contributed in part to the Guns of Hochuli steamrolling the Monkeys with both their starters and back ups. Though they could have choose to rest everyone except the water boys, Gunners showed they they want this years Torpedo Bowl by rolling out another massive score of 180 points. Drunk Monkeys were lucky to make it to 80 points, as they fall to 3-9. With the win, the Guns of Hochuli rise to 10 - 2 with two weeks left in the season, clinch the #1 seeding, for the second year in a row. Congratulations Guns of Hochuli.

Our Match of the Day was the Black Cats hosting the Helmand Nighthawks. Both teams were competing for the top tier in the division with another team right behind them. While the victor of this match wasn't yet assured a play off berth, a win to either team would give them the divisional tie breaker if it was needed. This was going to be a turning point for the year. Thanksgiving Day, Jordan Reed (TE) Dez Bryant (WR) and Ezekiel Elliott (RB) ran out and quickly mounted 80 points on the scoreboard before the Cats have even finished pouring gravy over the Turkey. Cats were playing from a "too far behind" position the entire weekend and would never overcome the Nighthawk lead. Not even a MVT nomination worthy scoring blitz from Leshon McCoy (RD) which included a touchdown and a 2 point conversation could bridge the gap as the Nighthawks continued to mount points on the board. Not to be out shined by the Guns of Hochuli, the Nighthawks came within a touchdown of beating the Gunners weekly high score. Helmand Nighthawks get the win over their divisional opponent 174 - 141.

The third game of this week we go back to Oregon, with a repeat of the first game of the season with the Who Dat nation hosting the Australian Taipans. The Taipans have just been killed by their high scoring opponents, but in recent week their own lack of scoring has dragged them back from unlucky to wannabes. The Who Dat Nation after an early season slump have slowly worked their way back into contention to make the Championship Series. The Nation really needed to knock off the Taipans, and to do it convincingly, to help their cause. With the Gunners having already secured a Championship berth, the Nation's opportunities for a Championship series position rested on beating the Taipans. And beat them they did. Thanksgiving day started and the Nation quickly rattled off 60 points before Coach Pioneer (Taipans) asked for the mercy rule. Who Dat Nation continued to rack points up before calling it a game early Sunday. Taipans recovered thanks to the effort of Mike Evans (WR) but were never going to overcome the 80 point deficit with just their QB and WR to play. Who Dat Nation gives thanks for the Taipans coughing up a big fat turkey as they run away with the game 144 - 126.

At 12 weeks and just two games to before the playoffs lets look at what we know, and don't know.

#1 Guns of Hochuli. Gunners clinch the division and the #1 seed for the play offs. They get to stay at home throughout the play offs.

#2 Helmand Nighthawks. Helmand Nighthawks with their win and a loss by both the Black Cats and the Australian Taipans secure themselves a Championship berth. Nighthawks can finish as the #2, #3 or the #4 seed pending the outcome of the next two weeks. Their destiny is in their hands.

#6 Drunk Monkeys. The expected loss by the Drunk Monkeys eliminates them from the Championship series. Best they can finish in the league, if they show up, is 5th.

Now here's where it gets interesting.

#3 Black Cats. The Cats are at 6-6 but sit at 2-3 within their division. Their next game is against the Drunk Monkeys which on current form is going to be a win. Their last game is against divisional opponent the Australian Taipans. The Cats can win their next game, but still have to beat the Taipans and then rely on the count back if they want to advance to the Championship series.

#4 Who Dat Nation. The win by the Who Dat Nation elevates them to the #4 seed. In the last two weeks they have to play both the Guns of Hochuli (week 13) and the Drunk Monkeys (week 14). While the win against the Monkeys may already be penciled in, the Nations needs the divisional win next week against the Guns of Hochuli to elevate them to the #3 position, and avoid having to play the Gunners in the first week of the Championship series.

#5 Australian Taipans. The loss this week was critical and makes the Taipans path to the Championship series more difficult. The Taipans are tied with the Who Dat Nation at 5-7 but in the last two weeks have to play both the Helmand Nighthawks and the Black Cats. Cats and Taipans are 1-1 on the divisional series against each other, but the Taipans can loose in week 13, and if they beat the Cats in week 14, make the Championship series and eliminate the Black Cats. Taipans are playing spoiler in the final weeks.

With so many choices, so many opportunities, we had to decided on where to flex the correct game, and we went with the Guns of Hochuli hosting the Who Dat Nation. The Nation needs to beat the Gunners to have a chance in the final week of the regular season, and they need this win to avoid the #4 position which would force them to come back and play the Gunners. A loss by the Nation opens the door for both the Black Cats and the Australian Taipans to steal their way into the Championship series a week early.

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 146 rushing yards and 1 touchdown, and 1 reception for 21 yards and 1 touchdown, for a total of 35.70 points, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Running Back Mark Ingram of the Guns of Hochuli the Week Twelve MVT.
