Empapandas is a great typo. That said, they stand no chance this weekend. I won't rest.

• The "Actually, It Did End With A Whimper" award goes to redwing42 who desperately needed a win to stay alive in the playoff race only to put up the second-lowest weekly score of the season leading to his elimination from playoff contention at the hands of Edarem. COVID was definitely a factor, knocking out Lamar Jackson, though it is doubtful that anything could have salvaged such a dismal performance that is best exemplified by his TE netting 0.4 points...from 4 rushing yards. Better luck next year, redwing.
• The "Don't Call It A Comeback!" award goes to Sleepy whose rollercoaster year has gone firmly back on an upward trajectory. After a 5-game losing streak left him on the brink of elimination, a third straight win, this time an absolute boatrace over Manning's Miracles, has brought Sleepy back into playoff contention for the first time in weeks and eliminated a key rival in the process. Sleepy's points total has him lapping the field in tiebreaks so a win in Week 13 will guarantee him a spot in the playoffs.
• The "Michael Myers" award for the guy that just won't die goes to Disco Kid who scraped his way to a victory over Oblong Pickle in Week 12 to keep his playoff dreams hanging on by a thread despite being the overall second-bottom scorer and bottom all-play on the season. The Pit League's boogeyman still is rolling lucky as the schedule has broken in a way that all 6-6 teams are facing different opponents in Week 13, leaving open the possibility that everyone at 6-6 except for Disco Kid could lose and he could nab the 8th seed in the playoffs. If the whole season is anything to go by, that's probably going to happen. He just won't die.
• The "Fantasy Gods Never Forget" award goes to AnonymousDeac who had to have done something egregious in a previous fantasy season because there is no other explanation for how he is 4-8 while being 6th overall in points this season. But it is Nonny, so maybe the real winners are the friends he made along the way. I recommend sacrificing a small animal to the fantasy gods, maybe a replica jersey, anything of that nature to appease them.
• The "Nice" award goes to DEACHAWK who scored 69.33 points in a loss to JManslow. Nice.
• The "Superstar" award goes to the biggest week of the season, Tyreek Hill. His 13 catches, 269 yards, 3 TDs, and 51.4 fantasy points helped Fighting Cocks squeak out a nailbiter against YoungBuck.

• The most important matchup of Week 13 sees the on-fire Sleepy take on Fighting Cocks in a game with massive playoff implications. Sleepy has all the tiebreakers in the world against the field so a win and he's moving on to the playoffs. A loss and he will need significant help across the board. Meanwhile, the Cocks are relatively safe with decent points tiebreakers, but one bad week could see a lot of his points advantage go away so he will surely be looking to just clinch his spot with a win of his own. This game will be monitored closely by the chasing pack.
• Another matchup between a 7-5 and a 6-6 team sees Lone Wolf take on DeaconPeach in another Battle for Sleeping on the Couch. Wolf is the story of the season in my book as his 5-game winning streak from the depths of the league standings see him a game up with one to play on those outside the playoff picture, including Peach. However, Wolf's tiebreaker situation is not nearly as strong as Cocks and he certainly will not want to have to sweat out results elsewhere. Peach has had the reverse fortunes as her fall from grace was only slowed by the narrowest of victories in Week 11, though a Week 12 loss means she needs a win and a lot of help elsewhere to sneak into the 8th spot.
• Seeding order is all that's left to worry about for our top 4 teams with the biggest question coming from where league leader bernbp5 ends up. After winning the last two weeks and watching both Barca and DEACHAWK falter at some point, bern is back on top of the league and will secure the first seed with a victory over eliminated Oblong Pickle. However, should bern falter, he will likely fall to at least 3rd place and potentially 4th place with Barca not too far behind on points. It will be very interesting to see how the final bracket shakes out for our leaders.
