The Play-Off picture in the Money League this year is coming down to the wire. Nittany Drunkards and Ghetto Dog All-Stars have clinched and four teams are contending for the last two spots. The Four teams are: Give'em Da Business, Mechanix & JR's Dirtbags (all at 8-5) and Mr. Fat69 (at 7-6).

[Nittany, at 9-4, isn't shown as "clinched" by Yahoo because their are currently three 8-5 teams. So, technically and, just looking at the records and points, ND could fall to 9-5 and be outpointed by all three current 9-5 teams. If that were to happen, he wouldn't qualify. However, since two of the 8-5's play each other, only two more teams, at most, can reach 9-5 and ND is a de facto lock for the play-offs].

Here's how the final four break down. Essentially, it's a win and in with a glimmer of extra hope for Give'em Da Business.

The winner of Give'em Da Business v. JR Dirtbags is in.

If Mechanix wins in Mechanix v. Mr. Fat69, Mechanix is in.

If Mr. Fat69 wins, he is in UNLESS the loser of GDB v. JR game outpoints him for the season. For that to occur, on Sunday, either: (a) GDB's losing score ends up 9.3 points higher than Mr. Fat's winning score; OR (b) my losing score ends up 76.02 points higher than Mr. Fat's winning score.

[Mechanix is already behind Mr. Fat in points for the season. Thus, if Mechanix loses to Mr. Fat on Sunday, he cannot outpoint him for the season and Mr. Fat would be the 8-6 team to advance unless outpointed by GDB].

Realistically, of the four teams in remaining in contention: Only GDB can lose and still qualify and only Mr. Fat69 can win and not qualify. FURTHER, the only way that scenario happens is if Mr.Fat69 wins AND GDB loses but outscores Mr. Fat by about 10 points on Sunday.

Play-off fever! Catch it!!!
