Officially, it is too early to call all this weekend's games, but theoretically, we can make a case for the most likely conclusion of the Thunder Gun Express Regular Season. The following two games will help define the overall outcome for the playoffs which are set to start next weekend.
GAME ONE
Lack of Original Team Name vs. Unoriginal Team Name
DW vs. TBD
Implications: Winner is IN and determines playoff seeds 2, 3, and 4.
Monday Night Match-Up: 5 players remain between the two teams.

THE CALL: DW WINS, finishes in second place with a 9-5 record.
BEATING THE ODDS: With three players remaining, TBD will need to outscore Matt Schaub and Steven Ridley, plus, TBD will need to cover the current deficit of 31.82 points. Not looking so good, but the season remains TBD for TBD - horrible sentence I know, but, for the record, TBD is a horrible team name (this late in the season too, we keep waiting). Yet, I digress...anyways, the odds of TBD overcoming this tumultuous feat are about as good as a ESPN "Expert Commentator" crying, sharting, and vomiting simultaneously while incessantly praising RG3…there is a slim chance it can happen, but if it does, everyone will be thoroughly disgusted and applaud at what transpired (I should note that the odds of vomiting while listening to the omnipresent RG3 commentary is very high).
GAME TWO
UHavePermission2Lose vs. Game of Stones
Implications: Losers need to win in order to make the playoffs, Game of Stones are losers regardless and should stop starting seasons 0-5.
Monday Night Match-up: 3 players remain between the two teams

THE CALL: UHavePermission2Lose WINS advancing to 8-6 and a playoff berth. Will likely finish fourth overall based on points.
BEATING THE ODDS: The Shame of Stones will need to out-duel Andre Johnson with Wes Welker and Aaron Hernandez, but the Shames will come up short, as they need to cover a 25.84 point deficit first. The odds of the Stones succeeding is about as good as two paraplegics winning the County Fair three-legged race… it doesn't add up (feel like I have used this before, if so, sorry).
THE FINAL STANDINGS (well, most likely)
I have updated records and point totals through all games Sunday.
The * represents an individual player remaining to play Monday Night (i.e. *** = 3 players)
