With only one playoff spot up for grabs in Week 14, it didn't figure to be that exciting. But it could have been MORE exciting. I-Ry took care of business, but kind of limped into the playoffs with a win over The Effect (who, it's worth repeating, is JUST AWFUL).
DVD had a shot at the final spot (which went away when I-Ry won) but flopped when it mattered. To be fair, his opponent scored the second most points in the league this week, so it would have been super tough to beat him anyway, but he was 1 of 3 teams that failed to top the Century Threshold.
So now we head into the Playoffs and Pooper Bowl. Week 15! Get your popcorn ready...
Playoff Previews
#1 Team Provost (12-2) vs. #4 Iron Ryan (9-5)
Team Provost looks like the favorite this year; he's 12-2 and has the most points in the league by over 100 (272 points more than his opponent in the first round). By points, he has the QB3, the RB4 and 5, the WR 4 and 6....AND Nick Chubb. I-Ry needs a big week from his people, and some luck.
#2 Regress to the Mean (9-5) vs. #3 Released Dix On Boobies (9-5)
RTTM had the second most points in the league this year (though he needed a Tidwellian effort in Week 14 to get there; poor Pedro Pickles) and looks like he could challenge Provost. But certainly don't count out Boobies (heh) who has major upside potential in AJ Brown and Dalvin Cook.
Pooper Bowl Previews
#5 Hamilton Rod and Gun (7-7) vs. #6 Death Valley Driver (7-7)
The question here: which HRG shows up? Or really, does he get big games from Derrick Henry and Tyreek Hill? If he does, he's really hard to beat. Though DVD has Davante so...
Neither of these guys is too worried. They are not in the running for The Worst.
#7 Utah Falco (6-8) vs. #8 Hardcore Sucks (5-9)
Hardcore has been on something of a role since Austin Ekeler has returned. And DeShaun Watson has been better than the beginning of the year. And the Colts decided to give the ball to Jonathan Taylor last week. Falco was hoping to have CMC back, but that's not to be. Loser moves on with a shot to be the Worst. Winner can earn extra scratcher for the draft next year.
#9 Pedro Pickles (4-10) vs. #10 The Jeff Fisher Effect (2-12)
HAHAHA. Who are we kidding here? It's Pickles. He's gonna win. The Effect is dreadful. Just god awful.
How have you guys not suggested that we call it the Pooper Bowl before? It's a great name, and I'm sad I never thought of it. I saw it on a Reddit board and decided it needed to be the name for us immediately. And so....it is.
What do you guys plan to do on Sunday during the fantasy semi-finals?
