Week 13 - The Playoffs Prediction


After much strife and struggle, I see a relatively predictable path for the playoffs.

Here is how it works...

Division Champions
1. Nathan is going to win his game this week - 10-3
2. Norris beats Ben                                      - 9-4

The Rest
3. Kendall beats Alan                                                                  - 10-3
5. Paul beats Rookie and effectively eliminates me                        - 10-3
4. Chad wins in a squeaker                                                           - 9-4
6. Ben loses to Norris. 25 point cushion over me gets him the Oy  - 9-4

1st Round

Kendall is 3rd and picks Chad as his opponent   Chad and Kendall have a quiet animosity between each other's fantasy style and I think Kendall would like to prove his style of playing is better by taking Chad out.
Kendall wins that contest and moves on.

That puts Ben and Paul head to head in the nice guy finals, and I see Paul being the victor with Ben hurting for a decent flex player.

2nd Round

Nathan is going to look over the schedule and realize that Paul has the worst week 15.  He'll win that game and sail on to the finals.

Kendall gets Norris.  My heart wants the ratings that come from a Nathan Kendall final, but expansion team Norris will pull it out.  This will teach Kendall to sit alone during the draft, and remind me to get Kendall liquored up before the draft and sit next to him.

Finals

Nathan - Norris.  Thunderbear.

Nathan is back, Kendall's death grip on the cup ends, and the world is somehow better.

Book it.

  2. Hey man, thanks for reading! Please feel free to use our charter in any way you like. That's why we put it - and this blog - out there, so other folks in other leagues can use the info and the inspiration! If you guys do start up your own blog, let us know. We'd love to link to it from here, or even add it to our blogroll (column to the right, near the bottom of the page.)

    What can you tell us about your league?

  3. I can't poke any holes in this scenario, unless I whoop Kendall's ass this weekend. Ivory turned out to be unpolished, but maybe if Kendall trips and breaks something on the way to the stadium ...
