South: The Big Hurt (wild card); The People’s Champ (wild card)
West: Patrick Bateman (wild card); Tony Montana
Playoff Race Updates:
– East – With Boss Hardigan’s wild card bet loss, Kenny Powers now has a $1,000 lead on the rest of the division with one week to go, and only Hardigan could catch him.
– North – After mass destruction, Babe is now at the top of the heap for the division. It’s just a three-horse race, with both Bud Fox and Larisa Oleynik $500 behind. Larisa has her wild card bet still available.
– South – Rick now has a comfortable lead in the division after The Big Hurt and The People’s Champ went down in flames. He’s $700 up on Bayonnaise and $1,000 on the others. Rick has his wild card bet still available.
– West – Judge Smails finds himself alone in first after Patrick Bateman stumbled in Week 17. There are four other franchises that can technically surpass Smails, and OJ is $700 behind with his wild card bet.
– Overall – This seems to be just between Kenny Powers and Rick Moranis. Kenny is up $500, but Rick has his big bet available. Mathematically, Babe, Boss Hardigan, and Larisa Oleynik can still catch Kenny as well, but it in all likelihood it’s only Kenny and Rick.
– Wild Card Race – With all of the wild card bet losses last week, the field for the remaining six playoff berths has dwindled. Twelve franchises are still in the running for those six spots. Boss Hardigan leads the group at $1,400. Behind him it gets very crowded, with the final spot currently at $1,000 and determined by winning percentage tiebreaker. As mentioned above, Larisa and OJ are two that can make big moves with wild card wins. The Notorious ABT, Karl Farbman, and Neon Boudeaux hanging onto a glimmer of hope.

West: Don Mattingly (wild card); OJ
Playoff Race Updates:
– East – Both Kenny Powers and Boss Hardigan went winless in Week 16, so Kenny maintains his $500 lead, but Hardigan still has his big bet available.
– North – Bud Fox enjoying a $400 cushion over Babe, and Bud still has his wild card bet in his back pocket. Larisa Oleynik is only $600 back with a wild card bet available. T-Ferg has stumbled lately and still has a chance but will need a WC win and for others to fall back.
– South – The most interesting divisional race, as Rick Moranis still has the slimmest of leads over The Big Hurt and The People’s Champ. All three still have their wild card bets, so it may come down to who makes the first move. Bayonnaise sitting behind all three hoping for the world to burn and to sneak in and take the South crown.
– West – Patrick Bateman has been perfect for three straight weeks and has a $500 lead on Judge Smails, who is fresh off a wild card win. Bateman still has his wild card bet available. OJ with an outside chance if he can close with a strong fortnight.
– Overall – This race has become more and more intriguing with Kenny Powers and Boss Hardigan falling back to earth the last few weeks. Kenny still holds the lead, but now six other franchises are within $900 of him. All six trailing have their wild card bets, so anything can happen.
– Wild Card Race – Larisa Oleynik sits in the final spot via tiebreaker winning percentage over Luther Lavay (currently LO is at 0.578 and LL is at 0.527). Several others within striking distance of the final few spots with big bets floating around.
