Playoff Preview

Ok, so the recap never happened, my bad.  But here's a quick playoff preview.

BYES:

Flames - much to everyone's dismay, Hemrick's team is a powerhouse, as he owns almost all the key players of two of the three best offenses in the league.  Lest anyone think an injury to either Matt Stafford or Peyton Manning could derail his season, just note that Detroit and Denver had their bye the same week, and Hemrick won with a score over 160.  Hemrick could be looking to start a dynasty at the draft next summer.

Came-ron Yo Face -  the other bye team already could've had a dynasty, already making it to three championship games in 4 years.  He'll try to get to his 4th, but having Bry fall to 4th put him right in Hill's path and makes it more difficult.

GAMES:

How was MJD listed as out, but yet put up 14 points?  Mintz, you should really look into that.  Although the fact that Bry is playing at all this week is the story here.  At one point he was 7-1 and top of the table, but after a 1-4 end to his season, including a woeful season-ending loss to the resurgent Tom Brady Show, here sits Bry as the 4th seed.  Bry will need his running backs to claim the big advantage they have on paper in order to protect against a possible VJax or James Jones stinker. Mintz made the good move of benching Red Tom Brady and if he connects with Larry Fitz on a TD or two, Mike could make some noise here.  I think this will be close matchup, but the winner will most likely......................GO DOWN IN FLAMES!!!!!!!

Sneaking into the third seed was Matt/Sean thanks mostly to that beast Josh Gordon.  They also have DJax and McCoy in what should be a high scoring matchup.  I don't love EJ Manuel on the road and Cecil Shorts failed to reach ten points.  They'll need Eddie Lacy, Vern Davis and Matt Ryan to come through.  I believe in Matt Ryan and Lacy has a good matchup, but Davis is in trouble.  Scott has the all unsung team with Foles, Smith, Wright, Stacy along with Olsen and Alex Smith.  Before the season, you'd think this was PromNiteDumpsterBaby worthy, but all have been consistently producing.  Aside from Foles though, there's no true game breaker here.  But if 140 points is enough to get by, then Scott will win.  Especially if the one gamebreaker he might have, Victor Cruz, finally goes off-but it's been awhile since that's happened.
