Week 22 schedule
AZ SnakePit vs. CGS
MyWieterGetzLongoria vs. Mizzoula Osprey
Angry Saguaro vs. Alabama Slammers
Smell the Glove vs. Dirk Ziegler
Socrates Burritos vs. Trail-Hitters
Waffles vs. Rougned Hodor
What the Hellickson? vs. Yasmany as Possible
Going into the last round, Trail have clinched the top seed and an opening-round bye; Alabama and AZ look to be fighting for the other bye, with the former having a slightly easier task against 9th-placed Saguaro; Snake face CGS in seventh, who till have a playoff shot. The rest of the current incumbents in the playoff spots all face teams between four and six spots lower, so it will take a major surprise for any of them to be dethroned. But that's why we play the (fantasy) games!
