NFFC Message Boards

Should be a fun game on Monday night with the Packers and Ravens. Plenty of big-time fantasy players are in the mix. Derrick Mason will likely get matched up against Charles Woodson. Will he deliver? Will Aaron Rodgers continue lighting up opposing defenses?

In my top league I'm 38 points ahead with Flacco and the guy I need to beat has Rice, Mason and Cundiff. So I need Flacco to play well.

What about everyone here? What do you guys need tonight in the final game before the NFFC playoffs begin?

About 8 or 9 TD's from Mason should do it.

Need 5 points from Mason to win 5K in Classic ... otherwise playoff for the 2.5K

Up by 11.1 in the Prime time with Flacco, R Rice and Mason ... he has Grant and Jennings to win 2.8K ... otherwise playoff for the 1.4K ... GO Baltimore!

Big Mike

Need Rice and Driver to combine for over 68.05 points to make the on-line playoffs via winning h2h record. Note that Rice and Driver are not my players, but rather players for the team that was in first in points and record coming into this week. If that does not happen, I will finish 3rd in the league in points, tied for best record (with the team in 2nd in points), and in the top 70 overall - none of those things get you to the on-line playoffs. Disappointing to be so close and not make it.

CLASSIC

• To win the H2H, we need Rodgers (avg 29.5/gm) to outscore Crosby (avg 9.2/gm) by 33. $2500
• To win total points, we need Grant+Driver+Mason (avg/gm 13.5+15.3+15.5 = 44.3) not to outscore Rodgers (avg 30/gm) by 33. $2500
• Worst case is that we still take 2nd in total points, which is 3rd place ($1250) and still gets us into the playoffs, but not playing for the extra $2500

PRIMETIME

• To win the H2H, we need Driver (avg 15.3/gm) not to outscore Jennings+Finley (avg 13.9/gm + 9.5/gm = 23.4) by 13. $1400
• To win total points, we're competing w/ 2 very strong teams. We need Crosby (avg 9.2/gm) to outscore Grant by ~10 (avg 13.5/gm) and Rice (avg 19.3/gm) to not outscore Crosby (avg 9.2/gm)by 14. $1400
• If we don’t win the H2H, but one of the two total points scenarios we need above occurs, then we will still end up in 2nd place for total points, which is 3rd place ($450) but no playoff berth. However, if we still finish in the top 10% in total points overall among the 276 teams (top 27), we can still sneak into the playoffs as a wildcard team. Entering this week, we were 32nd, just 8 points less than the 27th overall team, 1687.50-1679.90.
• If none of the above come true, we'll end up 3rd in total points and get no prize money. However, we’d still have a shot at a top 10% wildcard entry.

Lots of data for sure, but much of it is not too far-fetched. Gonna be an exciting finish tonight. Win or lose, I guess THIS is why we play high-stakes Fantasy Football?

Good luck to all!

For Classic:

Need Mason + Rice + 8 points to beat driver for 5k, otherwise a week 14-16 playoff vs. a hotter team. Odds = 94%

Need Mason + Rice to get 41, beat driver +5, AND beat ryan grant +27 for free entry next year. Odds = 20%

For Auction:

Need Mason to beat Clayton + 6 points for first round bye.

Good luck to all! LMAO ... you are going to need your computer near by while your watching football tonight.

Instead of just hoping for a Crosby field goal late in the game ... your going to need a Crosby field goal ... but one that's over 37 yards ... but not over 44 yards. Too much fun

I hear ya Ugly! (I had sent that as an email update to some local friends this morning, so it was easy enough to paste it here ) I suppose there are a lot of worse situations to be in though, so we're still keeping our chin up and hoping for the best.

FWIW, my laptop is ALWAYS next to me on the couch when watching the games. My wife finds it comical (and slightly pathetic) how much I sit and swear at the t.v. all day, yet we're still very much in the running.

What about Meachem and his fumble TD,I need his 6 additional points not showing!!!

Looks like I may have root against Mason getting his 8 or 9 TD's after all.

Count down to a Drew Brees SD 8x10 Autograph:

Desperately trying to find something to salvage the season, I can stay on top of the online week 13 standings if these players can be held to the following...

Mason 15
Jennings 21
Jennings + Crosby 24
BAL 25
GB 30
Driver 33
Rice 34
Clayton + Crosby 37
Rice + GB 42
Rodgers 44
Grant + Driver 48
Rodgers + Crosby 53

Shut down Mason! wooooooooooooo!!!
