Fantasy Football - Playoff Bound! (I think)

My team won! My team won! My team won!

It was a tad closer than I'd have liked (and my Shadow Championship score sucked), but Gothic Lolita - The Black Dwarf beat A Mavin Lepton Sleuth 103.3 - 87.4. Brady threw in an underwhelming but still team-high leading 19.6 points, and Antonio Gates added 19 as my squad did just enough to win. I would lament I didn't do better, especially as 6 different teams in the league would have beaten me, but I can't get too mad, because I think I am virtually assured of being in the playoffs.

My record is 10 - 2. There is only one team at 9 - 3, and the rest are at least 7 - 5 or worse. Unfortunately, the 9 - 3 team is in my division, and I play him in the last week! However, even if I lose this game and then to him, that would make me 10 - 4, and while I'd lose the division, I think I'd get the wild card because no one else is currently better than 7 - 5, which means they can't get to 10 wins. (There may be something I haven't thought of, but I don't think so.)

If I win this week, I win the division and ensure the #1 seed in the playoffs. I have to win both week to ensure the sole #1 record, but if I win this week I'll be one game up and no matter what happens next week I own all tie - breakers. Plus, I'm still like 173 points ahead of the next highest team, and I'd like to end the regular season 200+ points ahead, to show how truly dominating I am. Still, I'd like to win both games and finish 12-2. I' not sure anyone has done that. (Of course, it won't matter if I don't win the playoffs, but one step at a time.)

Below is the box score. I rock!
