Well, I’m out of one league and extending into the final four in another two. In my coaches’ league, I sold the bag against the two seed. I made major mistakes, but the overall score indicates that I wouldn’t have won anyhow. Though I would have made it closer. Close doesn’t count in fantasy. You lose and you go home. I went home.
In the Beach Born League–the family league–I play one of my boys who posted his season best 178 pts last week. He’s feeling it. Hopefully his team is not feeling it this week. We only have 7 players, so a Bot account plays the 8th spot and holds the 3 seed. It plays my partner this week. She may lose this one.
The Louisiana league is an interesting situation. I was invited in to fill a spot of a guy who left, and I sucked badly last year. This year I’m a 6 seed who knocked off a 3 and holds a shot to move forward again. I need to pick the right guys here, and that includes relying on some players who are BARELY in playoff contention as well as others who are already locked in. It is a long season, and this week’s slate of games is sure to show the wear and tear on the players. I’m leaning on a Niner’s team that has a chance to earn the bye still–providing the Eagles fall. Still, are they more interested in healing up and squeaking out wins? I don’t know. I think the fact that Purdy is a new QB means the guys will still be out there building in-game chemistry and rolling hard towards the playoffs. One can hope.
Finally, predictions. I don’t want to make any. All I will say is that the Giants pass rush has been stepping up big and the line is getting healthy. This makes me excited for what is possible against a Vikes team that might be scamming the league and might be hitting a wall. We just have to stop the run and force Jay Jettus to command the game. I think we scheme well enough that he won’t get his usual buck fifty yards. Good luck, Gints. Good hunting.
Some Thoughts:
- Marble League is over for the season. My Raspberry Racers came in 7th overall in the standings. Really great finish getting the silver in the final event. Marble league is just good clean fun. I am considering Marble One next…
