Wow! The Saints are indeed, all that!
We go into the final week of our fantasy football league with three teams tied for third place. They are the Boston Eagles, San Diego Dread Pirates and Morgan Raiders. As you may know, the top four teams will advance to the Winner’s play off bracket. The bottom four teams will be in the Consolation Bracket. This means that it is still anyone’s game. Anyone of the eight teams can still pull it off.
The battle for the #3 and #4 spot in the Winner’s bracket is still up for grabs because this next week, the Boston Eagles face off against the Morgan Raiders. You can feel the tension in the air. If San Diego wins, then whoever wins the game between Morgan and Boston will get the fourth spot. But, if San Diego loses and Morgan loses, whichever of those teams have scored the most points overall will get the fourth spot. If San Diego loses and Morgan Wins, whoever has the most points between San Diego and Boston gets the fourth Spot.
The excitement is palpable.
Boston Eagles upset the fan favorite Bubble Boys 106 – 90. Aaron Rodgers, GB, QB, completed 28 of 39 for 348 yards giving the Boston Eagles 23 FF points. Antonio Gates, SD, TE, had 7 receptions for 118 yards and 2 TDs giving the Bubble Boys 23 FF points.
Doh!
The Toledo Dobermans upset the favored San Diego Dread Pirates 121 – 115. This was a closely contested match. Prior to the Monday night game, San Diego was up by 19 points. Toledo pulled off the win. Even with the efforts of the aged Brett Favre, MIN, QB, with 32 completions of 48 attempts for 392 yards and 3 TDs giving San Diego 27 FF Points, they failed to seal the deal. Ironically, it was the Packers’ Defense and Special Teams that acquired the most FF points (22) for Toledo to assist them with their victory.
I couldn’t get used to seeing him in a Jets uniform and this purple does him no justice either. I can only picture him in Packers green and yellow.
Morgan Raiders pounded the bottom feeding Kansas City Sad Chiefs 95 – 58. The Sad Chiefs must be vying for a First Round draft pick next year. Chris Johnson, TEN, RB, had 18 carries for 154 yards and 1 TD giving Morgan 24 FF points. Pierre Thomas, NO, RB, had 11 carries for 64 yards giving Kansas City 14 FF Points.
This guy is quickly becoming a regular in this weekly Fantasy Football column.
