R.I. Electrons (5-7) d. Snowballs (3-9)
117-85
After a few weeks in the dark, I think Rhode Island has finally figured out a winning formula: Maddox & Holmes. They combined for 57. Splash in a little defense (Seattle's 15 helped too), and the Electrons are now in a five team hunt for three playoff spots. Even though the Snowballs did better combined in running and receiving, a 13 in defense from the already eliminated Snowballs just killed them.

Chesapeake Cruisers(6-6) d. -To Be Determined-(7-5)
139-84
A pretty even game in offense, the Baltimorized defense for the Cruisers pulled whatever weight needed pulling. That's a 76 for those counting. Unfortunately, TBD was nowhere near as lucky, putting these two teams deadlocked in the final three playoff hunt.

Dunedain(7-2-3) d. Your Team Name (6-5-1)
117-103
I'm really not sure where to start this one. YTN by far had the defensive game 69-49. Unfortunately for YTN, that was it. Dunedain's Tom Brady outscored Jeff Blake by 23 and Hines Ward contributed another 23, sending YTN down into that deadlock for the last three spots.

Cooney Quest (7-4-1) d. Hurricanes (4-8)
89-76
In a game much closer than it should've been, Cooney was able to put Marshall Faulk's 23 to good use after being miserably humbled on defense. Of couse, if the Hurricanes had a quarterback, they'd probably be on a winning streak. Lack of a running back didn't help either, as the Hurricanes are eliminated, and in one swift blow, Cooney clinches a playoff spot.

Koko's X-Cats (6-6) d. 29 Patriots(4-8)
92-82
Both needing wins, something was going to be decided this game. And it wasn't Donovan McNabb's superiority. He lost the QB battle by 11. Everything else stayed remarkably close, meaning that the QB battle decided everything. The Pats are out, the Cats are in that deadlock of five.

Bane (3-8-1) d. Scrawny White Guys (2-10)
Already eliminated, the White Guys looked to play spoiler of one's playoff hopes and dreams. And then Jay Fiedler scorred 44 on Bane's side, and it was all over. Yeah, it's also worth mentioning a receiving game of 25 for Bane (and a 24 for the Guys) and that defense taking 48 (compared to a Scrawny 15). Even with the win though, Bane was still eliminated.

ValleyGirls (10-2) d. Nor Cal Crushers (4-7-1)
148-99
The ultimate Thanksgiving rivalry game took place here as Nor Cal took on So Cal. Unfortunately, like most rivalry games, it ended up horribly one-sided. Led by Daunte Culpeppers 39, the entire Girls offense was in double digits. That's a total of 106. It's enough to end the Crushers' season (despite the 33 receiving outdoing the Girls' 23).

CB234(10-2) d. Coco's Monkeys (5-7)
122-107
Another tough break for ther Monkeys, this one cost them their season. This was one of those conglomeration matches which had the defense taking precedence. This is how the Monkeys ended their season: down by 7 on defense, and losing all offensive categories (except receiving) by a slimer margin. Steve McNair's 30 on Monday Night Football was able to grant CB a comeback win.

Pinman(4-8) d. Philly Cheesesteaks (11-0-1)
116-106
Hoping to do what the ValleyGirls couldn't last week, Philly looked optimististic to secure the number one spot and end Pinman's season. Hell, they had Manning scoring 50... and then pure nothingness. No one else was in double digits for the Cheesesteaks. The wall came when Pinman had Matt Hasselback 4 behind Manning, and a Randy Moss 16 plus a New England 14. Staying pretty even the rest of the way, no solid conglomeration was going to ruin Pinman's moment in the sun... except that even with the win, they're still mathamatically eliminated from the playoffs. At least they went out in style, beating numbers one & two consecutively, and ruining Philly's chances at being undefeated.
