Matt Hasselback, a bit belatedly, showed the promise his high draft status would imply, leading Couch Lovin Mammals (3-9-1) to a Monday Night victory over Buddhist Hamsters and the Posse (4-8-1). The season sweep of the Posse vaulted the Mammies to the ninth seed.

Ebonic Plague (7-6) had one of their manic weeks, knocking Bar Stool Buddies (8-5) to their peanut shell and pull tab filled floor. Despite the outcome, the Stools get the first round bye while the Ebs go on the road to a hostile stadium.

Clinton Portis, a bit belatedly, showed the promise his high draft status would imply, leading Hi Definition Weasels (3-10) to a victory over bench heavy, Electric Donkey Bottom Biters (4-9). The Bites next play historical rival Mammies in the Founder’s Cup. They won 41-34 in Week 10.

River Lake Stars (8-5) pushed the division championship to the end, beating cross-division rival, Injury Prone (8-4-1). After tying on record, head to head, and division record, the SSOS Division championship came down to points and the Rivs were a bit short. The Prones finished second in the BlackLabDiv, their third bridesmaid in a row, reminiscent of the fabled Ski Cat franchise.

In a well played battle for the division championship, Sewage Serpents (10-3) used a strong defense and a big mouthed receiver to take the win, the championship, and the first round bye. Lay Z Boy (8-4-1) had a few too many goose eggs and must now migrate south to start the play-offs.
