We have reached the final week of the regular season of the People's League. I want to thank those who were willing to participate in this year's fantasy football experiment. You truly made it worth our while.
It's amazing that, at this late point in the schedule, no team in the league has secured a playoff berth. (Four teams, like TCU, have been eliminated from contention for the championship.) Two of the contenders will be relegated to the consolation bracket, while the four others will battle for the title. Which teams will they be? It's time for another round of predictions to reveal the answers. Last week's forecasts went 4-1, improving our season record to 37-23.
People's Pigskin vs. t-bay cuervonatersXXL. The 4-8 Cuervonaters are playing for pride at this point, while the 9-3 Pigskin can secure the top seed with a win. And, in an unexpected blessing for the Pigskin, Peyton Manning and the rest of the Indianapolis Colts are fighting for their playoff lives. He'll bounce back from last week's debacle, and the Pigskin will cruise into the postseason.
cowboys romero vs. Fighting Amish. The 2-10 Cowboys have all but wrapped up the bottom spot in the People's League rankings, while the 8-4 Amish can wrap up a playoff bid with a victory this week. Michael Vick and company have staked the Amish a 64-point lead, which is more than they'll need to extend the Cowboys losing streak to six games.
Chicago VinSethBears vs. Hudson Valley Hawks. The 4-8 VinSethBears are playing out the string, but the 8-4 Hawks are fighting for a postseason berth. The Hawks will be counting on the Monday night game. A big night from either Wes Welker or Santonio Holmes will guarantee a victory for the Hawks.
Team z vs. Feely Her Up... The 3-9 Zs can get ready for the consolation round, but the 7-5 Feelys need a win and some help with the points tiebreaker to get into the championship round. Both sides have question marks in the lineup, but the biggest one may belong to Ben Roethlisberger, who, even if he's healthy enough to suit up, must deal with the Baltimore Ravens. The Feelys win a squeaker.
nuckin' futs vs. NFL2K10 RedZone. Amazingly, this is the only matchup between two teams with postseason dreams. The 8-4 futs have a head start thanks to Arian Foster's 22 points, but the 7-5 RedZone is hoping the Tennessee Titans remember they have Chris Johnson available in the backfield. (He's pretty good, you know.) The Titans certainly can't count on an aerial assault, so Johnson should get enough carries to ensure a win for both Tennessee and the RedZone.
Please remember to vote on the lineup polls. They will close Sunday morning. Enjoy your weekend.
