So, three leagues and I made it to one championship. It is, of course, better than none. That winning league is the big money league and the pot is $1500 for the win. I’m excited for the opportunity (and the trophy). I don’t know how good my chances are entirely, but it comes down to the 4/6 matchup in a week where J.Herbo needs to beat the Rams (and a resurgent Baker Mayfield) to move towards the 5 seed and the 49rs are trying to lock in a 2 seed vs. the Raiders. I like those matchups. I like that I am going into this with a real shot. I also see that Derrick Henry has an injury designation, and he is one of my opponents top weapons. Then there is McKinnon and Freiermuth. Those two are point explosions waiting to happen. G. Wilson against the Seahawks… perhaps less so, because the Hawks really really want that win. Overall, I am projected to LOSE by 1.49 points, which is a sad state of affairs, but I can work to fix that a little if I move the Chiefs to my starting D, or luck out and find a top D (Giants???) on the wire. The chances are looking good here. I hope that I can turn this week into some serious cash.
Meanwhile, I’m looking at a 3rd or 4th place finish in the Beachborn league. I was knocked off by the mid-kid who is really surging late in the season. He faces the lady for this ‘chip and I battle… The BOT. I’m excited either way. It is a rare Two-week final, so it should pan out really well for them to use skills over simply basic luck of this week’s draw.
