Week 12 Results ~ "If Real football Used Fantasy Scoring..."

Creative Misfortune's fantasy regular season has come to an end!

In week 12, both the Green Bay Packers and the Denver Broncos managed to win fantasy games they lost in real life.

High score of the week goes to the New England Patriots, who feasted on 117 points provided by the Detroit Lions.

Low score falls to the Tennessee Titans at 16 points, who didn't even score enough fantasy points to beat the real 20 points the Houston Texans scored against them.

The following teams have clinched Creative Misfortune playoff spots (weeks 13-16):

Creative Misfortune Playoff Schedule:
Week 13 - Wild Card Games; Top Seeded teams play for "bye-week" advantage*
Week 14 - Divisional Games
Week 15 - Championship Games
Week 16 - Creative Misfortune Fantasy Bowl I

     AFC #3 New England Patriots (playing vs New York Jets)

AFC #5 New York Jets (playing at New England) at
     AFC #4 Pittsburgh Steelers (playing at Baltimore)

NFC #6 Chicago Bears (playing at Detroit) at
     NFC #3 New York Giants (playing vs Washington)

NFC #5 Atlanta Falcons (playing at Tampa Bay) at
     NFC #4 San Francisco 49ers (playing at Green Bay)

Top Seeds Playing for Bye-Week Advantage*
AFC #1 - San Diego Chargers (playing vs Oakland)
AFC #2 - Indianapolis Colts (playing vs Dallas)
NFC #1 - New Orleans Saints (playing at Cincinnati)
NFC #2 - Green Bay Packers (playing vs San Francisco)

*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.

For example, if Indianapolis scores 80 fantasy points in Week 13 against Dallas, they would receive 20 bonus points (80/4) for their Divisional matchup. Conversely, if they had an off week and scored 22 fantasy points, they would only receive 5 bonus points (22/4, any fractional points rounded down).

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.
