Need some help figuring out this mathematical puzzle...

It's been a weird year in my money league. Had one of the best drafts in recent memory, but I'm sitting at 5-6 and currently 9th place in the league.

Top 6 go to the playoffs, points scored is the tiebreaker.

There are four teams currently at 7-4 and four teams currently at 6-5.

I'm within 33 points of two of the 6-5 teams, and hold a 27 point advantage over one of the 7-4 teams.

Obviously, to make the playoffs, I need to get to 7 wins. I have a winnable matchup this week, but play the best team in the league in the season finale.

Or, I could tank this week, and end up with no worse than the 4th overall pick in next year's draft - I'd likely end up with the 3rd overall pick.

I'll give more specifics in the next post. FWIW, here's my roster:

Palmer
Martin
Charles
AJ Green
Nelson
Daniels
Seahawks
Hartley
