Week 12 took some interesting twists and set up a Week 13 with considerably less drama than in recent years. We know 5/6 of the playoff field, with only two teams competing for the last spot. Here's what we do know: -The much-anticipated Boys of Summer/Syn City matchup in Week 13 is meaningless. Even if they beat them week, Syn City cannot catch the Boys of Fall for the Westwood Division title/#1 playoff seed/first round post-season bye. Though their records could be tied with a Syn City victory, the first tie-breaker goes to division record, where the Boys of Fall have an insurmountable 2-game lead with one game left.

Can clinch a playoff spot with one win in the next two games. Can clinch a playoff spot...
