Week 12 State of the Faction

***TOP 3 GAMES OF THE WEEK***

VATKA vs PHAM - Must win for Pham to stay alive!

BACKS vs DEZ - seed placement.

RINGERS vs STARS - Must win for Stars to stay alive!

It's a shame one of these teams will be left out but only 6 move on. Will Pham stay alive or will Sam show him the door and exterminate him from playoffs contention? Will The Stars be shown that same door by the Ringers, or will they turn up the heat and get the win against the Ringers and stay alive in the tournament?

I don't have a favorite in this thing. But I would like to add that I've really enjoyed this season and can't wait until next year. I hope everyone has had fun in 2016 and know that I'm already working on 2017! You guys are awesome and I look forward to seeing who wins it all this year! Good Luck!!! Lets get on to the games...

Game one had the Killers at Team Kennamer. This was closer than I would have liked it to be honestly but a wins a win. Killers move to 11-0. Kennamer falls to 3-8 and has the 9th place Knights in the upcoming week 12. This is one I wont be paying much attention to. But I'll take Team Kennamer because I think Brees goes off this week.

We saw the Knights at the Stars last week in what was a sleeper. Neither team managed to reach 100 points with a score of 92.5 - 87.5. The Stars get the dub and they needed it. The Stars move on to 5-6 and have the Ringers in week 12. This game is huge. The Ringers are on a roll and the Stars are in MUST WIN MODE. I'm taking the Ringers here because of their hot streak and it looks as if the Stars are having some serious injury issues this week. Ringers by a few.

The Ringers had a HUGE win in week 11 against a familiar foe. The Backs came in after going through an up and down roller-coaster the last few weeks and got hit hard this week by the Ringers 161.3 - 133.2. This knocks the Backs out of a first round bye at the moment but if they manage a win next week against Dez and VATKA struggles with Team Pham a bye could still be in the cards for the Backs. Week 12 is huge! I like the Backs against Dez this week especially with Gio out for the season. Dez could have some trouble from here on out. Backs in a landslide.

Dez had Team Pham in week 11. Team Pham was in a MUST WIN situation and knew they had to get this dub or lights would fade to black on their first season in The Faction. They are simply not ready to go home yet. They handled their business against Dez and look to keep up that momentum against VATKA in week 12. I'm calling this one the game of the week! I'm taking VATKA because on paper they clearly have the better squad but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't silently pulling for Pham here. Ok I guess it's not silent anymore... GO GET THIS WIN PHAM!!!

VATKA had Dirty last week in what was another sleeper. VATKA did what VATKA does. Destroy anything in their way not called Killers. I'm feeling a Killers/VATKA championship coming but lets not out the cart before the horse. I know a few guys that would argue about that prediction and I wont blame them. Anyway, VATKA got the dub over Dirty moving Dirty to 4-7 and handing their broken carcass over to the Mighty Killers in week 12. This will be this weeks beat down. With all the other games having meaning this one wont be worth talking about come next week.

I'm super excited about week 12 and cant not wait to see who makes the playoffs. Good Luck to everyone that is in the running and keep your head up even if you don't win. You've all played well and I've enjoyed watching you new guys learn as you go. It's going to be a bumpy ending so hold on! See you all on the other side. Have a great Tuesday and God bless!
