For the third straight year, the top seed won’t be around for the finals, as Grim Reaper got just about all he could get from his team, and toppled the mighty Hooper’s Heroes. Because of the dominance of Reaper’s squad, Antonio Brown’s calf injury made only a small difference in this matchup. Despite his 138 points, Reaper only had one guy who topped 20 points. But aside from Carlos Hyde and his kicker, everyone was in double digits, making for a very tough team to beat.
In fact, the only team that even had a shot to beat that this week was The Jeff Fisher Effect. Holy cow. Melvin Gordon and Kareem Hunt combined for 61.5 points on Saturday night, and then Todd Gurley was all like “Hold my beer,” and dropped 4 TDs on the Seahawks defense, and Pedro Pickles never had a shot. The Effect’s 173 were the second highest total in the league this year.
So we’ve got two teams who just put up their highest season point totals in round 1 of the playoffs set to meet for the title. So what’s going to happen? Obviously, we’re going to have a finals matchup where neither team breaks 100 points.
So, Kyle: just kickers or….
In our consolation bracket, Team Provost made his case that he should have been a playoff team, scoring more points that two of the playoff teams, while the rest of the consolation teams had lackluster weeks. Only one other broke 100, and one got almost one-third of his point total from his kicker (thank you, Robbie Gould and Outta Luck).
So it’s Scrote Squad and Team Provost for the Loser Bowl title. Rumor is that Ezekiel Elliott bet Eric Dickerson that he was going to run for 200 yards in his first game back. So if that happens, I don’t know how Provost loses (provided he plays Zeke, I guess).
