Division races heading into week 12, where i suspect almost all spots will be settled.
DIV1: The Thunderwolves hold a 2 game lead on Omen and is virtually certain to win the division. They play each other in week 13 but it might not matter given Twolves week 12 opponents Philly Freedom & W.S.D.M. Omen's most likely playing for a wildcard and can help his chances in beating Legend. He also owns the head-to-head tiebreaker vs Liberty and has the 3-way edge in AVG PPG. Soggy's uphill climb includes ZDevil.
DIV2: Speaking of Liberty, he's currently seed #6 and 2 games out of the lead. He needs to win out and hope Mephisto struggles in week 12. Their schedule doesn't differ much AVG PPG -wise.
DIV3: Lost and Found should've had this thing bagged by now and faces a tougher schedule than Marauders with only a 1 game lead -- Lost plays Mephisto and Beast whereas Marauders plays Rooting Rebels (who had his starters set by system in week 11) and Sic Um. A tie for the division favors Lost and Found.
DIV4: Z's a cool breeze from clinching a playoff spot, the division and seed #1 facing the weakest DIV1 teams and Legend. If Legend wins out, he's in. But he plays Omen (wildcard tiebreaker?) and ZDevil. (lolcat says "do. not. want.")
And now, week 12's matchup highlights
Marauders 666 @ Liberty Vultures
This is the key game for both. Marauders should win against the Rebels and needs a week 12 sweep to stay in the division (and wildcard) hunt. Liberty also needs to keep pace with Mephisto to win his division. One 3-week streak will end.
The Omen @ Legend
Roy stars in this end-of-the-world matchup playing Will Smith to Omen's Peyton, the destroyer of all teams (except NE). Omen probably won't catch TWolves but can probably slide into a wildcard slot with a win in this game. Legend just needs to win out to be in, but this game's more crucial looking ahead to a week 16 game against Z.
Lost and Found...some Help! @ ^mephistopheles rebellion 666^
Won last year by Lost and Found, he needs to win desperately to stop the slide. Just one win would almost ensure he cinches the division. Short of that, he needs to stay ahead of Omen and Liberty. Mephisto just wants to maintain a lead over Liberty.
