BIGBOY! (147.54) vs 16hrs Ahead of You!! (123.36)
BIGBOY! advances to the Final Four for the 2nd year in a row with a big win here against 16hrs Ahead of You!! Things started fairly slow for BIGBOY! as B. Purdy had the type of game you worry about in the playoffs with a whopping 1 point but thankfully they had some other players on their team step up like AJ Brown (24.50) and J. Conner (30.73) but probably the difference in this game was the 19 points they got from the CIN Defense and the 19.70 points from TJ Watt. These two positions are extremely volatile and could easily have been a combined total of let’s say 10. Instead they got 38, a difference of 28 points and they won this game by 24! It’s the little things that wins championships and BIGBOY! did those little things this week to move on. They will now get to go up against the top team in the league in Bossman!
It was a solid season for 16hrs and one that they felt like they had a shot at not only winning here but a chance at their first ever championship. It wasn’t meant to be but it wasn’t because they didn’t have the right players. The players and the points were there it was just one small move that needed to happen. Kyler Murray started this game for 16hrs and scored 5.21 points while J. Goff sat on their bench and put up a whopping 50.75 points! Swap those two players and 16hrs is going on to the Final Four! That’s one of those decisions that has the potential for you to lose some sleep over! A solid season nonetheless and I am sure they will come back and give it another shot next year!
Sportsfreak (156.29) vs U Don’t Know (87.98)
Sportsfreak dominates this matchup to move on to the Final Four! I think the key to winning this week was having your starting QB score 1 point as Sportsfreak’s QB (Tua) also only scored 1 point! I am not sure that anyone wants to be playing this team right now as they are on a roll having scored over 148 points in 3 of their last 4 games and seem to have found their groove at just the right time! This week they were led by B. Thomas Jr (32.25) and C. Lamb (25.80). They also got a whopping 28 points from the Atlanta D! Overall they couldn’t have asked for a much better start to their first playoff matchup in 6 years! They move on to play pack slayer next week with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line!
U Don’t Know had to scrape and claw their way to the playoffs this season but they seemingly ran out of gas in this one as the majority of their team did not perform well. They did get a solid effort from Chase Brown (22.27) but the rest of their players really underperformed. That is not a great recipe for winning in the playoffs. See you next year U Don’t Know!
