Caesar (Gary): Welcome, welcome, welcome to Week 13 of the BBB Games, where we look at this week's matchups and the current Power Rankings. My, my. Things have become very interesting in the Beards divisions. With just two games remaining in the regular season, all four teams are still vying for the top two positions. This week, David takes over the top spot with a big win over Paul, while the Commissioner falls to third after a tough loss to Justin.
Claudius (Paul): The Commissioner wants to blame Steve for his loss, but we all know the truth. It is his poor lineup decisions costing him wins...as always.
Caesar (Gary): We hate to see it. Let's take a look at this week's Power Rankings. Jordan takes over the #1 ranking as Paul slips to #2 after the loss to David. The Commissioner drops another two spots to #6. It's not looking good for him, mainly after he traded his soul to acquire Stroud this week.
Power Rankings:
Jordan (+1)
Paul (-1)
Steve
David (+1)
Justin (+1)
James (-2)
Dana (+2)
Linda (-1)
Tracy (+2)
Ashlyn
Gary (-3)
Travis
Caesar (Gary): Paul, you can officially knock the Commissioner out of competing in the Championship Playoff this year. We all know it's been difficult for you and will continue to be. We hope you can relish a little joy after beating the Commissioner this week.
Claudius (Paul): I sure hope so.
Caesar (Gary): While David leads the Beards division, the road does not get any easier for him. In Week 13, he faces Justin, whose team is as hot as Dak.
Claudius (Paul): David is the dog this week.
Caesar (Gary): I agree. Murray still shakes off the rust and faces the stout Steelers defense while Dak gets Seattle at home. Dak and the Cowboys have been shredding teams at home this year. David took another hit when his star RB, Jonathan Taylor, was declared out for 2-3 weeks with a thumb injury requiring surgery. David can't catch a break. With Barkley on bye, that leaves him starting Hubbard and Stevenson. Not the worst option this time of year, but not his usual power duo.
Claudius (Paul): If Achane gets healthy for Justin, we are all doomed.
Caesar (Gary): As much as we don't want the Commissioner to win another Belt, we don't want Justin to either. Three is enough.
Claudius (Paul): Getting a new name on the Belt this year would be nice.
Caesar (Gary): A new name for a new Belt. I like that. Tracy always talked about his wish for more players to win the Belt. No one likes to keep seeing Justin or James win it. 5 out 8 years is enough for both of them,
Claudius (Paul): You know it will be good.
Caesar (Gary): With his Championship Playoff ticket already secured, Steve faces Ashlyn after helping Dana stay alive last week. It looks like Ashlyn didn't get the better TE waiver option. She chose Logan Thomas over Friermuth. The Commissioner selected Friermuth for Tracy's team (Rest in Peace Tracy).
Claudius (Paul): The Commissioner must play vicariously through Tracy's team in the Championship Playoff.
Caesar (Gary): If Tracy wins this week, it will knock me out of the Championship Playoff since Tracy has the tie-breaker over me. With Tracy playing Travis this week, I don't like my odds.
Claudius (Paul): Not looking good.
Caesar (Gary): Even after a poor showing last week, Linda is still alive even if she is last in the Broads Division. Both Dana and her are in a must-win matchup against each other. It's a close one thanks to the Commissioner trading her LaPorta and Rashee Rice to fill her Week 13 bye opening in her roster.
Claudius (Paul): The Commissioner does have a soft spot for Dana.
Caesar (Gary): Maybe. He fears for his life more if she ends up on the Crapper. Dana has a tough decision at QB after trading Stroud away. She is counting on the difference between LaPorta and a replacement TE being better than Stroud and a replacement QB. Love has been better, but he faces the KC defense. She is hedging her bets by picking up Carr who has a good matchup vs the Lions D, but whose WRs are banged up. Average QB vs good D or Average QB vs bad D with banged-up WRs.
Claudius (Paul): Glad that isn't my decision to make.
Caesar (Gary): Me too. Dana may still have a chance to make the Championship Playoffs if she loses. She would need Ashlyn to lose to Steve this week which is likely and Linda to lose to Steve in Week 14 and she won against Ashlyn. Dana has the tie-breaker on total points if she loses to Linda.
Claudius (Paul): Exciting!
Caesar (Gary): Yes. Dana is lucky to have a chance after being 1-8 just three weeks ago.
Caesar (Gary): Well, that's all for this week. Please remember Paul in your thoughts and prayers. Candi's funeral is this Saturday. May the odds be ever in your favor even in the darkest of days. Bye.
