Reuben had a 0.70 point lead with Rico having Demaryius Thomas, Brandon McManus, and the Denver defense. All Reuben had was Emmanuel Sanders. With the Denver defense starting the season was six consecutive double digits scoring games they have now scored five single-digit games including this week with only 5.00 points scored. McManus had a pedestrian day was three PAT's made and one field goal for only 6.00 points. And superstar number one wide receiver Demaryius Thomas forgot he was playing football at all that day. He only recorded one catch for 36 yards on 13 targets and gave Rico 4.60 points. Three guys got Rico 15.60 points. Emmanuel Sanders had 6 catches for 113 yards in that game and single handedly out scored his three teammates with 17.30 points. That was enough to get Reuben a win and have him slide into the last playoff spot. With the loss Rico still holds onto a playoff spot. Reuben wins 116.50 to 114.10.

Julian (7-5) vs Josh (4-8)
Julian just needs win and he’s in the playoffs. Josh needs a win to stay alive or else he is eliminated. Julian started the week on Thanksgiving Day starting Matt Stafford who had his best day of the year. Stafford had 5 TDs with 337 yards passing and 13 yards rushing for 34.78 points. His kicker Mason Crosby also add a 9.00 points. These are two of Julian's six players to get over there projected total. Dez Bryant unfortunately was not one who also played on Thursday. He only had two catches for 26 yards and 4.60 points. Jillians a double I didn't attack both went out with injury but not before each went over their projected total. Tyler Eifert had a touchdown on three catches and 40 yards to score 13.00 points and Rob Gronkowski had six sketches for 88 yards and one touchdown for 20.80 points. But it does not look good for Jelane go heading into the playoffs. Unfortunately for Josh he had a below average day. Only two of his one players hit their projected totals. His top scorer AJ Green scored 24.10 points on six catches 61 yards and two touchdowns. His other player to reach over his projected total bliss is kicker Justin Tucker or 10 points. LeSean McCoy had another good day for Josh even though he was under his project total yet 70 rushing yards 31 receiving yards and one touchdown for 17.10 points. Josh was really let down by his running backs Frank Gore only put up 5.70 points on 24 yards rushing to catch his and 13 yards receiving. And Todd Gurley only had 19 rushing yards and I'll let him receiving yards on one catch putting up a measly 4.00 points. Thursdays deficit was too much for Josh to over come. Julian punches his tickets into the playoffs while Josh tries to stay away from the Dice of Doom. Julian wins 131.48 - 106.74.
Matt H (9-3) vs Mike (4-8)
Matt had already clinched a playoff spot while Mike was desperately seeking a win to stay alive. Both teams had players going on Thursdays Thanksgiving day. Matt had his kicker Graham Gano who gave him a healthy 19 point head start. While Mike had a handful of players going trying to get him a fast start. His kicker, Dan Bailey, was also playing and only put up 7.00 points. Mike’s Tight End also started, Richard Rogers, who had 4 catches for 30 yards and 7.00 points. Jonathan Stewart and 10.70 points on 68 rushing yards and 3 catches for 9 yards. A little disappointment for Mike as he started James Jones who did not see any action and put up a 0.00 points. But the great news for Mike's top score Calvin Johnson had an amazing day with eight catches 93 yards and three touchdowns for 35.30 points is best of the season. Mike only had two of his players get above the project is Charles Megatron and also Eli Manning. Manning at 321 passing yards and two touchdowns his 17.84 points could've been higher if it were not for his three interceptions though. Matt saw seven of his players get above the projected totals. His top score was Jarvis Landry who had 13 catches for 165 yards and one touchdown and that totaled 35.90 points. That's number one running back Adrian Peterson also had a great day with 158 yards rushing at 29 yards receiving and two touchdowns for 32.70 points. Matt's quarterback Ben Roethlisberger also had a big day with 456 yards passing with one touchdown and one two point conversion for 24.04 points.
