BBY Dream Team League 2020 Playoffs: Round 2
Quick Recap:
4. Brad defeated 5. Katon in a shootout 160-142.5 and 3. Mike defeated 6. Jen 106.8-82.2. Bracket still appears to be lopsided setting up a potential David vs. Goliath Super Bowl. Kenny, Katon, and Brad combined to score 452.8 (average of 150.9) as opposed to Jen, Mike, and Trey combining to score 272.6 (average of 90.9). Of course anyone can beat anyone any given week.
Final Four Resume’s:
Kenny: 0-1 in Final Four matchups
Brad: 5-2 in Final Four matchups
Mike: 1-2 in Final Four matchups
Trey: 1-1 in Final Four matchups
Round 2:
Round 2 brings us a beautifully symmetrical bracket. 1-2-3-4 seeds advanced for BBY Supremacy. Also, the four remaining teams represent the contiguous United States. Mike represents the North in North Dakota, Brad the West in California, Trey the East in South Carolina, and Kenny the South in Louisiana. It’s kind of like Game of Thrones. Mike is the Starks representing the North. Which of course would make his sigil a Dire Wolf. Kenny being from the South would make him the Lannister’s who controlled King’s Landing for most of the show. His sigil would be a Golden Lion, which also equates with all those Points he scored. Trey would be House Baratheon whose house traditionally rules the Stormlands on the Eastern coast of Westeros and who’s sigil is a Mighty Stag. And Brad would be House Greyjoy because this fantasy group’s perception of a small surgery that he had on a dilated vein running from his kidney to my left testicle is the equivalent of having his dick chopped off like Theon Greyjoy. I digress.
4. Brad vs. 1. Kenny
Preview: Kenny beat Brad twice in the regular season, edged out Brad for Points Winner, and is more handsome. Brad has the #1 Quarterback, #2 Running Back and #1 Tight End. Kenny has #1 Running Back, #1 Wide Receiver, AND the #3 Wide Receiver, AND the #4 Wide Receiver, and #2 Defense.
Matchup Notables: Brad’s #1 Patrick Mahomes and #1 Travis Kelce (along with Kenny’s #1 Tyreek Hill) face a tough Saints Defense. This game is being played in the SuperDome where Tyreek Hill may be able to crack the sound barrier on a deep route. Brad’s #2 Derrick Henry faces OPRK 31st Detroit, setting up an on-paper smash spot. Kenny’s trio of wideouts have tough(er) matchups in #1 Tyreek Hill vs. #8 OPRK New Orleans, #3 DK Metcalf vs. #4 OPRK Washington, and #4 Stefon Diggs vs. #10 OPRK Denver. #1 Rb Dalvin Cook hasn’t done great against #8 OPRK Chicago’s defense. But Kenny has a Diamond in the Rough in #2 D/ST LA Rams versus #32 OPRK the hapless New York Jets. That is going to be a slaughter and Kenny could easily get north of 20 points there.
Final Thoughts: Brad would need to have a lot of fortunate chain of events to take place to defeat the Top Seed in the playoffs.
3. Mike vs. 2. Trey
Preview: Trey defeated Mike 113.4 to 109.7 in Week 10. This is their first playoff matchup. Trey has #4 and #8 Running Backs. Mike has #2 Quarterback and #8 Wide Receiver.
Matchup Notables: Mike has #15 Rb Mike Davis vs. #29th OPRK GB Packers on Saturday, and his Titans Stack of #13 AJ Brown and #25 Corey Davis face #27th OPRK Detroit Lions. Trey has all matchups which feature middle of the pack OPRK’s with the exception of TY Hilton who faces #24 OPRK Houston Texans. TY has been on a tear the last 3 weeks averaging 21.1 points per game.
Final Thoughts: This matchup could go either way. Interesting note to add is Mike’s #2 Qb Kyler Murray facing Rookie Jalen Hurts in a game against one another. Who wins between Sophomore and Rookie?
Bottom Bowl:
Game 1: Moose vs. Chase:
Super Bowl 10 Rematch sets friends against one another. Winner is guaranteed 5-6 balls in Game 1 of Round 3. Loser is guaranteed 3-4 balls in Game 2 of Round 3.
Game 2: Joe vs. Tommy
Friends become enemies. Enemies become friends. This is the most important and volatile game in the Bottom Bowl. Game 2 of Round 2. The winner is guaranteed 5 or 6 balls in Game 1 of Round 3. The loser; however, shoots down to Game 3 of Round 3 and can either win 2 balls or only have 1 ball like the playoff teams. Since it’s so volatile it would be a perfect time for a… kicker bowl?
Game 3: JD vs. Scotty
Winner moves on to Game 2 of Round 2 and is guaranteed 3 or 4 balls. Loser moves on to Game 3 of Round 3 and will either win 2 balls or only get 1 ball.
Best of Luck Everyone! I certainly hope Justin Herbert doesn’t go to Overtime and instead of finishing with 19.7 fantasy points hit a bomb and go over 300 yards and then rush for a game winning touchdown in overtime to give Kenny a 30.8 point head start against me this week!
