Week 21 Games
AZ SnakePit vs. CompleteGameShutout
MyWieterGetzLongoria vs. Dirt McGrit
Phoenix Platypi vs. Mizzoula Osprey
Alabama Slammers vs. Sofa King Juiced
Waffles vs. Moved Upton
Space Wizard vs. Got Grittiness?
The Fighting Amish vs. Blonde Streaks
Waffles vs. Moved Upton is the ESPN Game of the Week, and with only one round after this one, should go some way to deciding post-season aspirations. Upton are fifth, but there's only 3.5 points covering fourth and seventh, and the other teams in that zone have tough challenges - all told, six of the top seven are facing off this week, so things could change significantly by this time next Monday.
