THE WEEK 12 REVIEW

ITS LOTTERY V THE BONES ROCKS

The San Fran D.

FANTASY PREDICTION: BONES BY 17

                                           FANTASY REALITY: ROCKS BY 11.2

The Rocks will be keeping the Champagne on ice for one more week but this win over the dysfunctional and soon to be disbanded Lottery has one half of Sweden preparing for the mother of all celebrations. The Rocks front 3 of Schaub, Gore and Martin are laying a solid foundation week in and week out with the 49ers D proving to be the icing on a winning cake. The Central Divisional title will be secured with a win against the Mafia in week 13 and this is surely just a formality.

For The Lottery a season which started with such promise is ending with the same old story of injuries and 4 wins. The only difference is this year that may well finish dead last.

AUTOPICKWARRIORS V PAULS POLARBEARS

Next up the Swedes!

FANTASY PREDICTION: POLARBEARS BY 7

                                     FANTASY REALITY: POLARBEARS BY 15.3

The Polarbears handed Coach Paul a much needed win to keep the franchises dream of a first ever CNFLE post season appearance alive. It was the little things that made the difference for the Bears, a TD for Keller, a 10.30pts return for Reece, even Dawson's 8pts kept the score ticking over until the win was secured. Week 13 sees the Polarbears take on the Super Swedes in the game of the season. With just 2 weeks of the regular season remaining the Polarbears stand on the edge of success...and failure.

We've been waiting all season but at last it's official, the Warriors are indeed irrelevant. Last weeks win provided a glimmer of hope but that has been well and truly extinguished by this defeat. All that is left is for Coach Conor to spend the off season sourcing a new broadband provider as CNFLE look welcome Royale With TD's back to the fold.

 BENCHWARMERS V SUPER SWEDES

Coach Peter.  Coach of the Season?

FANTASY PREDICTION: SWEDES BY 3

                                         FANTASY REALITY: SWEDES BY18.98

Let us not forget that the Swedes are the current Northern Divisional Champions ending last season's campaign with a 8-6 record before falling to the Disco in the first round of the playoffs. In all likelihood they will be the only team of last season's playoff four to make a return to the post season. Add to this the fact that the Swedes are nailed on to win the official CNFLE 2013 Calendar for the Team Performance of the Week and there is surely only one candidate for Coach of the Season. Ofcourse a defeat to the Polarbears in Week 13 followed by a further set back at the hands of the Mafia in the final week and Coach Peter could end the season with little more than memories of what might have been.

Much has been made by 79FC allegiance to New England and the Rocks love of the 49ers but less has been made of the Benchwarmers and their ties to the Pack. So although the Swedes looked to have this one in the bag Coach Richard was still waiting for Rogers to hurl the pigskin. By the end of the Packs match up against the Giants Coach Richard was still waiting for Rogers to hurl the pigskin. 12.96pts from Rogers and the Benchwarmers lose. FACT. So does the signal the end of the Benchwarmers post season dreams? Well, either the Swedes or the Polarbears are guaranteed to finish 9-5 meaning the divisional title is now out of reach. A wildcard berth is still however on the cards...just.

TTTTAYLOR V WEST COAST MAFIA

Coach Taylor.

FANTASY PREDICTION: MAFIA BY 20

                                      FANTASY REALITY: TTTTAYLOR BY 24.38

Now I'll be the first to raise my hands and admit that the Weekly Review has not always been the most factually correct publication but the same cannot be said for sister publication the Weekly Preview. Besides having an impeccable reputation for truth, justice and the American way, the Weekly Preview contains genuinely insightful information. We don't just make this stuff up you know. Let me quote from the Week 11 Preview, “The injury to Blaine Gabbert last week has suddenly made the Jags receivers a viable proposition with Henne under centre .” The result come Sunday? Shorts and Blackmon combine for 32.90pts. From the same review, “The Rams could contribute a decent defensive output against Coach Tttt’s beloved Cards.” The result come Sunday? 28Pts for the Rams D. All of which left your current CNFLE Champions handing the Mafia one hell of a beating. Ttttaylor are currently the hot favourites for CNFLE 5, its a fact!

The Mafia just haven't been themselves this season, their potty mouthed pixie of a headcoach has been strangely quiet. A win here and another one against the Rocks in week 13 could have meant a second consecutive divisional title for Coach Cullen. Of course the injury to Forte hurt the Mafia, although not as much as it hurt Forte, but their just been something off with the Mafia all season long. It will be interesting to see what Coach Cullen makes of what look like being a high draft pick come season 5.

THE HAIRY FROG DISCO V FRENCH LEADER

FANTASY PREDICTION: DISCO BY 1

                                           FANTASY REALITY: DISCO BY 1.38

With the Disco out of playoff contention Coach Calum announced that he would spend the rest of the season in the role of league spoiler with the French Leader as his first target.

True to his word Griffin mark 3 started the ball rolling with another 40pts haul mocking all those Coaches who believe that no heart Vick would outscore the rookie over the course of the season. Johnson came though with 13.60pts and Manning remember where the endzone was with the Disco's Nicks the grateful recipient. The Texans D imploded for the second consecutive week but it mattered not, the W was going the way of the Spoilers.

Boy oh boy, the 49ers are looking good again, that D is mighty impressive, Kaepernick could prove to be an inspired choice at QB, Gore keeps churning out the yards and then of course there is tight end Veron Davis. Not a week goes by without Davis posting decent numbers, 14.30pts in week 11 for example. Yep, not a week goes by without Davis posting decent numbers.

This defeat leaves the French Leader in a 3 way tie in the race for Southern honours. Week 13 is going to be unlucky for someone.

SEVENTY NINE FC V FEAR FACTORY

Coach Martin.  Treading a thin line.

FANTASY PREDICTION: NINERS BY 24

FANTASY REALITY: NINERS BY 44.24

Coach Keeper League chalked up an impressive win on the back of another Patriot laden roster to keep 79FC on course for a record breaking second CNFLE title. It's a dynasty I tell ya! Morris continues to resist any attempt of Shanahaniginns with another impressive display against the Cowboys. But what's the inactive Young doing in the 79FC's starting lineup? Coach Keeper league will be warned and only escapes punishment as 79 strolled to an easy victory. But let us be quite clear, if any Coach fields an inactive player and loses their match up as clear consequence of this they risk being expelled from the league. Sort it out Coach Martin!

Coach Botond, who at one stage of the season looked to be a clear favourite for the Southern division now faces a nervous two weeks as the Factory seek entrance to the post season for the first time in their history. With Hawkings inactive and on the bench, the last thing Coach Botond needed was to see Austin fall early against the Redskins. Early reports suggest that Austin will sit out week 13 although Hawings may return. The Factory will look to the waiver wire to ensure their strongest possible line up for next weeks must win match up against the Leader.

GOOD CALL

Coach Taylor. Shorts and Blackmon. Ttttaylor may be bottom of the pile but they still have one of the smartest Coaches out there.

BAD CALL

Coach Martin. Hawkings. Inactive. You have been warned.

ON THE BOARD

Griffin III: 267.28

Vick: 151.34

So the Autopickwarriors and the Lottery join Ttttaylor and the Disco as they collectively drown their sorrows and begin planning for season 5. But as things stand its any 4 from 8 with just 2 weeks of the regular season left to play!

Good luck gentleman.
