Lakhani Leads Playoff Challenge

The 2020-21 World Famous Playoff Challenge only has three games left before it crowns its newest $500,000 champion. In the driver's seat for that grand prize right now is Zak Lakhani's ZZZZ entry, holding a 0.35-point lead over Steve Ranaghan's ooofseven squad. Lakahni was led by Travis Kelce (28.9), Stefon Diggs (24.6) and Davante Adams (21.6) in the Divisional Round as his team goes hard after the half-million-dollar purse.

Sitting in third place is Timothy Earls, just 3.4 points off the pace and holding a 1.55-point lead over fourth-place Dustin Coleman's DCandBO. Rounding out the current top-five teams in this contest is the PJK team owned by Matt Kareis.

Brothers & Oliva Tied in FPC

In addition to our World Famous FFPC Playoff Challenge, we also featured the return of the 2020-21 Footballguys Playoff Challenge as well. And you can't get any closer of a matchup than a tie atop the leader board between Eddie Brothers' MoEd and Jeff Oliva's BrokeStoner22 entries. Thanks to big performances from Kelce and Adams this past weekend, they are sharing the driver's seat in the chase for $100,000.

Not to be outdone, Adam Murphy has his roster lurking in third place, less than two points behind the co-leaders. Plus, Steve Wells and Tony Cosentino have their entries in a strong position to strike, barely placing down in fourth and fifth respectively as we get ready for Conference Championship Weekend.

Covelle & Weigert Atop Challenge #2

The 2020-21 FFPC Playoff Challenge #2 is off and running with another tie at the very top of the chase for $50,000 with a tightly bunched leaderboard after one week of action. JR Covelle and Christopher Weigert are knotted at 159.05 points apiece with Ryan Maynard in sole possession of third place at 158.9 points. Covelle and Weigert not only had Kelce and Adams crush it for them, but Stefon Diggs' 24.6 and Tom Brady's 24.15 also helped their causes as well.

Then, you'll notice Jason Auguste placing fourth right now ahead of another tie on the leader board. This one is between Guy Nicio and Joe O'Connell, who are fewer than five points out of the overall lead with just three games to go.

Walsh Leads FPC Challenge #2

The second annual 2020-21 Footballguys Playoff Challenge #2 is off and running with TImothy Wash's Fourthdown franchise leading all other teams in the race for a $10,000 grand prize. While Kelce and Diggs were huge for Walsh, Aaron Rodgers (28.5) and Leonard Fournette (21.7) were difference-makers as half of the challenge's games are now complete.

In a three-way tie for second place are Matthew Roberts, John Rogers and Michael Yaghi, just 3.9 points behind Walsh. That trio is barely ahead (0.55 points to be exact) of a seven-way tie for fifth, which will make for a very entertaining last three games of the NFL season.

For a look at the top-40 teams in the Footballguys Playoff Challenge #2 after the Divisional Playoff weekend, here is the list (a bit longer due to ties):
