Creative Misfortune's fantasy playoffs are in full swing! Wild Card matchup results are shown below and it certainly ended up being a terrible weekend for Wild Cards as all the lower seeds were crushed by their higher seeded opponents.
Creative Misfortune Upcoming Playoff Schedule:
Week 14 - Divisional Games
Week 15 - Championship Games
Week 16 - Creative Misfortune Fantasy Bowl IV
High score of Wild Card weekend goes to the Indianapolis Colts, who scored 129 fantasy points in their game against the Washington Redskins. The impressive display helped the Colts demolish the upset hopes of the Cleveland Browns in their fantasy Wild Card matchup.
Low score falls to the Dallas Cowboys at 36 fantasy points. The Cowboys couldn't find any Thanksgiving magic last Thursday and were pummeled in both real life and fantasy life by the Philadelphia Eagles.
Closest Game of the Week: Denver Broncos 90, Cincinnati Bengals 50. When the closest game of the week is a 40-point fantasy blowout, you know just how badly all the higher-seeded, division champion teams dominated their Wild Card opponents this past weekend.
Fantasy Star of the Week: Andrew Luck, 32 points. Seems like if Andrew Luck is not the highest scoring fantasy player during any given week, he is among the top 5 players. Crazy how much of a fantasy stud he has become in just a few seasons.

*Bye-week Advantage - To reflect the benefit gained by the top 2 seeds in each conference getting a bye week before they host Divisional Playoff games, the four teams who earn these bye weeks in the fantasy standings will play Week 13 to gain bonus points that will be added to their score in the Divisional Playoff round. For every 4 points they score in their Week 13 game, they will receive 1 bonus point in their Divisional round matchup.
Since there are no bye weeks between the Divisional games and the Championship Games, bonus points will only be a factor in the Divisional playoff games.
