NFC Playoff Picture

Playoff Teams
1. Minnesota Vikings 14-1 (win NFC North)
2. Toronto Wildcats 11-4 (lead NFC West, clinched playoff spot)
3. New York Giants 10-5 (lead NFC East)
4. Atlanta Falcons 8-7 (lead NFC South)
5. Green Bay Packers 11-4 (clinched Wild Card)
6. St. Louis Rams 11-4 (Wild Card, clinched playoff spot)

Playoff Contenders
7. Washington Commanders 9-6
8. Philadelphia Eagles 9-6
9. San Juan Orcas 7-8

Eliminated from Playoff Contention
10. Seattle Seahawks 7-8
11. San Francisco 49ers 6-9
12. Chicago Bears 6-9
13. Dallas Cowboys 5-10
14. Carolina Panthers 4-11
15. Detroit Lions 3-12
16. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 3-12

If Giants win/tie, they win the East. If Giants lose, then they will need Commanders/Eagles to tie. Otherwise, Commanders/Eagles winner will win the East.

If Falcons win/tie or Orcas lose, they win the South. Orcas can only win South with a win and Falcons loss.

Wildcats win West with a win or Rams loss. Rams win West with a win and Wildcats loss.

I'm not going to bother with seeding.

AFC Playoff Picture

Playoff Teams
1. Mexico City Browns 10-5 (win AFC North)
2. Columbus Pioneers 9-6 (lead AFC South)
3. Buffalo Bills 9-6 (lead AFC East)
4. Kansas City Chiefs 7-8 (lead AFC West)
5. Baltimore Ravens 9-6 (Wild Card)
6. Miami Dolphins 8-7 (Wild Card)

Playoff Contenders
7. Tennessee Titans 8-7
8. Jacksonville Jaguars 8-7
9. Cincinnati Bengals 8-7
10. Pittsburgh Steelers 8-7

Eliminated from Playoff Contention
11. Indianapolis Colts 7-8
12. Portland Express 6-9

Yes the Raiders can still win the AFC West and the Express can't
13. Oakland Raiders 6-9

Eliminated from Playoff Contention Still
14. New York Jets 5-10
15. New England Patriots 5-10
16. Denver Broncos 3-12

I don't want to think too hard or much about all the various scenarios for playoffs, so I will do the basic ones

Winner of Chiefs/Raiders claims the AFC West. A tie will give it to the Chiefs.

Any of the 9-win teams get in with a win.

I reported long ago that the Titans can only get in via the division, but I didn't account for all the wackiness the end has brought us, and they can get in via wild card with 8 conference wins if they win their finale (and Pioneers win otherwise the Titans would just get in through the division)

Un
Tome

I made it up to World 4 of Scott Pilgrim before failing. It was also here that I discovered that each character has non-health stats, and you can upgrade them! I never did change characters, and now that I know about stats, I guess it would just add a lot of time for me to beat it, so I'm sticking with Kim. Apparently she is super weak, so I bought some stuff to increase her strength and defense. Leveling up doesn't increase those kind of stats, so I'm probably going to be making frequent trips to previously places to upgrade those stats when I reach a wall.

Overall, my impression of the game is a little better. First world is definitely not a good start. The second level has been my favorite. Third level is fine, but since my character was weak, I could not break down the walls quickly enough just before the final boss fight, so I always lost a life there. This game clearly had co-op (as I assume most beat 'em ups do) in mind and should have balanced it some to account for solo play.

Okay, so I started Scott Pilgrim, and, uh, hmm. The controls seem kind of finicky, which is really not good for a beat 'em up. Weapon usage is pretty critical in this game, or it seemed so from the start, and you have to be in specific, tiny window in order to pick it up, which seems mindboggling for a game from what, 2010 or so? I'm also not a fan of how the start of seemingly every encounter has some opponent be super aggresive, the high rate of knockdown and slow recovery not helping.

I'm going to try a new character next to see if maybe I just need to find the right character for me to be better able to accept these issues I have. I was the redheaded girl first. Maybe I will try the tired-looking dude on the second level.

What is Game of the Month Club?
Game of the Month is a community project open to all B8ers where users share, discover, play and/or discuss a select few games every month. The games featured each month are chosen by YOU the users (and Lady Luck)

The Basics
- Each month will usually feature three games that were chosen via a random drawing from a pool of games that users nominated
- For each game you beat, you get a cool point on our just-for-fun standings as well as a nomination for next month's randomized drawing
- In order to receive the point and nomination, you must beat said game within the calendar month
- If you beat one of the current month's games in the previous month, you can apply for a "recently beaten waiver," but you will only receive a point and no nomination should you do so
- Drawing for next month's games is usually on the 25th
- If you periodically keep us posted on your progress and/or talk about different aspects of the games, then everyone will obviously think you are super awesome!

Nomination Rules
- You get one nomination automatically each month
- You receive additional nominations each month for every featured game that you beat
- Each game you nominate has to be unique from all other nominations and cannot include a game that has already been selected for GotM
- Each game must be a standalone game that can be acquired and played on its own (aka cannot be DLC/expansion that requires the base game)
- Nominations only carry over if you beat a featured game after the drawing for next month's games but before the end of the month
- You have 9 supports you can use throughout the year. Your only limitations are that you can't support your own nomination, and you can only use one support per game per month
