NIGHTHAWKS CLINCH #2
Three Teams Vie For Last Two Positions

Week 13 in the Subsim Fantasy Football League. 13 - unlucky for some, and did they find out this week just how unlucky this can be. We have ourselves a wild week in Fantasy Football where nobody in the western world pick all the winners this week. We'll tell you who's red hot, who's not, and who might be thinking they walked under a ladder, broke a mirror, or even crossed a Black Cats path.

We'll get down and dirty on all the evilness right after you hear about the most important

IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO NOMINATE SUBSIM FANTASY FOOTBALL LEAGUE FOR BEST OF SUBSIM.

Where do we start? So many upsets, so many losses, so many quick calculations to work out who might be going to the play offs and who might be going home. We stay at home with the domestic game which was also our Match of the Day. Guns of Hochuli were hosting the Who Dat Nation. The Nation were coming in to town desperately needing at least one divisional win in their last two games in order to avoid a first round play off game with...the Guns of Hochuli. The Gunners, having sewn up the league and home field advantage throughout the play offs were needing to keep their momentum going after another team has outshone them in the last four weeks (we'll get to that team next). Gunners started their new QB Matt Stafford who ran up an impressive lead for the week of 341 yards and 2 touchdowns. O'Dell Becham (WR) caught for over 140 yards however, the Guns of Hochuli let themselves down by failing to score when in the red zone. Their entire wide receiving and running back team failed to score any touchdowns, leaving the path open for the Nation. Who Dat Nation started their darling Drew Brees (QB) who matched for 326 yards and 3 TD's. Unlike the Gunners however, the Nation went in for another 5 touchdowns from their receivers and running backs. Who Dat Nation get their Christmas early as the Guns of Hochuli choke and hand the Nation a most unexpected easy path into the play offs, when they really looked like they had no business being there. Who Dat Nation advance to 6-7 with a 145 - 103 win over the Guns of Hochuli.

Next up we go out to Merry Old England where the international teams were battling it out. The Helmand Nighthawks were hosting the Australian Taipans on their longest away trip of the year. Jet lag must have gotten to Jason Whitten (TE) who did not score a single point for the Taipans. Would that lack of performance hurt them against the Nighthawks who in the last three weeks have outscored everyone to mount the highest points for in the league. Nighthawks once again relied on their running back duo of David Johnson and Ezekiel Elliot who combined for the third time this season for over 55 points. Nighthawks declared their innings closed Sunday at 160 points with a 55 point lead. Could the Taipans come back? Taipans had both TY Hilton (WR) and Adam Vinatieri (K) left to chase down the Nighthawks, and what a chase it was. Late Monday night Hilton had 200 yards receptions and Vinatieri kicked the skin off the pig, but it just wasn't enough. Nighthawks win by the non scoring of Jason Whitten 160 - 152.

Back in the Homeland, the Black Cats were hosting the Drunk Monkeys in what we predicted was going to be the easiest path to the play offs. The Monkeys have been the team we've talked about all year "what if they showed up" as they struggled to 3-9. How much more could they have been had they shown up? Well, at least 4 -9. Black Cats and Coach FYC were counting on the Monkeys not showing up after they posted a very respectable 153 points, but they didn't count on Andrew Luck (QB) coming back strong and just demolishing the Cats lead. I didn't tell the Monkeys they couldn't make the play offs, but that didn't stop them from providing one of the most unexpected results of the year with such repercussions. Drunk Monkeys get one over the Black Cats 161 - 153 and crack the play off picture wide open.

13 weeks into the season, one more week to go, and we'll nail down exactly what we know, and then we'll go into the mathematical equations.

#1 Guns of Hochuli. Gunners loss doesn't change anything, except that the little quiver at the end of the regular season may give some others hope. Guns of Hochuli own the league and the #1 seed.

#2 Helmand Nighthawks. Nighthawks win gives them the Divisional Title with one game to spare, and the #2 seed into the play offs. Helmand Nighthawks have been super hot scoring, they have now surpassed all other teams with the most points scored, most of them coming in the last four weeks. Nighthawks look like the only team that could stop the Guns of Hochuli.

#6 Drunk Monkeys. The win by the Monkeys doesn't change their future. Best they can finish is #5 in the league, but they still have one more divisional game to play. Their unexpected win in week 13 complicates things for the other three teams.

Here's where it's a mess.

#3 After sitting on the outside for so many weeks, the win by the Who Dat Nation against the league leaders coupled with the unexpected win by the Monkeys propels the Who Dat Nation into the third position. Who Dat Nation can still miss out on the Championship, but, it needs some help from other games.

#4 The unexpected loss by the Black Cats puts them in a precarious situation. Although occupying the #4 position, they are faced with the prospect of having the most to loose. Cats have to win in the final week, win and your in. Loose, and they will drop out on the count back with two other teams.

#5 Australian Taipans. Another loss has just about doomed the Taipans but their one saving grace is they play divisional rivals the Black Cats. Win, and they could be as high as the #3 seed.

And with so much riding on the final position of the league, we go back to Australia for one last time in the regular season to see the Australian Taipans host the Black Cats. The shock loss by the Cats to the Monkeys puts their final game into a do or die event.

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 278 yards and 4 touchdowns, and 26 rushing yards for a total of 37.22 points, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Quarter Back Andrew Luck of the Drunk Monkeys the Week Thirteen MVT.
