... As It Stands Now

We have seven clinched playoff teams and one spot remaining. Here are the standings as of now, if each game ends as it stands:

#1 Alex (clinched) 9-4
#2 Tim (clinched) 8-5 959 PF *Game Not Final
#3 Katie (clinched) 8-5 933 PF
#4 Rachael (clinched) 7-6 1055 PF *Game Not Final
#5 Ryan (clinched) 7-6 1002 PF *Game Not Final
#6 Brad 7-6 894 PF *Game Not Final
#7 Jay (clinched) 6-6-1 998 PF
#8 George (clinched) 6-6-1 927 PF

#9 Dave 6-7 965 PF

So, we have two scenarios to watch here. First have the game involving Rachael and Tim, this will determine the #2 seed. Rachael needs 24 points from Maurice Jones-Drew and Andre Johnson tomorrow night to beat Tim.

The more important scenario is the one for the last playoff spot. Ryan has clinched his spot regardless of his outcome, however he could drop to the #7 seed if he loses. He has clinched because he has more points than Dave, therefore winning a tie-breaker with him. Brad, however does not have more points than Dave. If Brad loses, Dave would clinch the last playoff spot with his 6-7 record and superior point total. Brad has a 6 point lead on Andy going into Monday night. He has Jacksonville's D/ST remaining and Andy has Steve Slaton. Dave needs Steve Slaton to outscore Jacksonville's D/ST by 7 points. A tie would give the spot to Brad.
