Will there be a three-time champion? Will Rachael finally live up to her regular season dominance(s)? Who will make the playoffs, the fizzling Julie or the upstart Alex? Aside from the latter, only playoff seeding is yet to be determined. So I quickly went through some scenarios for each team in the hunt with best and worst case scenarios. Good luck to all! Here they are, if you care...
Scenarios
Adam
Best Case - #1 seed, win
Worst Case - #4 seed, loss and Rachael, Justin win
Win Championship If - Vick continues dominance
Fall Short If - Vick's durability remains in question
Rachael
Best Case - #1 seed, win and Adam loss
Worst Case - #5 seed, loss and Justin, George win
Win Championship If - Colts (Wayne, Tamme and D/ST) start scoring
Fall Short If - She starts her IR or FA players
George
Best Case - #1 seed, win and Rachael loss
Worst Case - #5 seed, loss and Justin, Tim win
Win Championship If - Sam Bradford continues being "college sam" and doesn't start being "rookie sam"
Fall Short If - Brett Favre finally succumbs to his nagging injuries and can't connect with migraine plagued Harvin.
Justin
Best Case - #2 seed, win and Rachael, George loss
Worst Case - #6 seed, loss and Tim, Dave win
Win Championship If - The 3-headed monster of Nicks, Foster, and Johnson stay hot and healthy in the playoffs.
Fall Short If - Rivers gets in the habit of not passing like he did in the win against the Colts last week.
Tim
Best Case - #2 seed, win and Adam, Justin loss
Worst Case - #7 seed, loss and Jay, Dave win
Win Championship If - Peyton Hillis keeps thinking that he's Jim Brown
Fall Short If - Peyton Hillis realizes he's a WHITE running back
Dave
Best Case - #4 seed, win and Justin, Tim loss
Worst Case - #7 seed, loss and Jay win
Win Championship If - Jon Kitna can make it through the gauntlet of Indy, Philly and Washington
Fall Short If - Chris Johnson keeps being inconsistent... so glad i didn't bid $1 more on him.
Jay
Best Case - #5 seed, win and Tim, Dave loss
Worst Case - #7 seed, loss
Win Championship If - Tom and Bowe keep accounting for 80 points like they did last week, not likely...
Fall Short If - at least two players don't put 30+ point games each week.
Alex
Best Case - #8 seed, win
Worst Case - eliminated
Win Championship If - the dominant fantasy players of yesteryear are their old selves again (Steven Jackson, MJD, Witten, Rackers). Who wouldn't have killed for that team two or three years ago???
Fall Short If - Anything other that the aforementioned doesn't happen.
Julie
Best Case - #8 seed, win
Worst Case - eliminated
Win Championship If - the down and out Peyton comes alive and dink-n-dunk champion, Knowshon Moreno keeps producing... there's a chance.
Fall Short If - you don't believe in miracles... but seriously what happened to your team Julie? It looked so promising for you.
Nate, Andy, Katie
Best Case - eliminated, go buy a 2011 Fantasy Draft Guide.
Worst Case - eliminated, go buy a 2010 Fantasy Draft Guide and draft all the players who were supposed to be good THIS year.
Win Championship If - you bribe the commissioner to make it a 12 team playoff. Accepting offers now.
Fall Short If - your team is still bad...
