Championship Week is Here!

The playoffs deliver another down-to-the-wire finish in a game for the ages!  In a game where 277 total points were scored, American BadAss got enough points from the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night to pull off an improbable 142-135 victory.  This game sets the record for the highest scoring game in league history (playoffs or regular season), and the 135 points scored by Big Sack No TDs smashes the record for highest score in a loss.  (The prior record was 124 held by Sofa King American who lost to Vandelay Industries 128-124 back in Week 5, 2021.)  In this week’s game, Jens had amazing performances from Saquon Barkley (30 points), Devon Achane (25 points), and the Atlanta Defense who added 27 points!  Jason was able to counter with Justin Jefferson (26 points), Baker Mayfield (22 points) and three players scoring 21 including his kicker, Brandon Aubrey!  (James Conner and the Green Bay Defense both also scored 21).  Crazy game!  Congrats to Jason on taking the Weekly High Score and advancing to the finals!  This marks the 3rd Weekly High Score for American BadAss this season.

In the other semi-final game, J LUV U LONG TIME had some bad luck with Jalen Hurts going down with a concussion after scoring only 4 points.  Meanwhile, my Scottish Rebels had a big game from Chuba Hubbard (31 points) and Derrick Henry (21 points) to take a 105-58 victory.  So it’s a Noble-Noble matchup for the Final, and a “What Do You Know?!” Bowl to settle 3rd/4th.  

In the remaining meaningful matchup this week, Luck of the Irish defeated sprouts 102-71 to officially finish in 5th place.  Just a quick update this week, as I’ll have a full season wrap up next week.  Just one final point of business…

BEST BENCH

Luck of the Irish is the only team yet to snag a Best Bench this season, and John managed to hold on for one more week!  However, it’s getting close as this week’s Best Bench was Luck of the Irish’s opponent… sprouts!  Russ had a very solid 38-point-improvement possibility with three roster moves:  K. Allen for G. Wilson +15, J. Cook for C. Brown +14 and Indianapolis for San Francisco +9.  This is sprouts 3rd Best Bench this season, which leads the league.

All the roster moves, waiver claims, trades, start and sits all come down to one final week!  Weekly High Scores are still in play for all teams!  Get those final waivers in and get ready for the 2024 Finale!!

Merry Christmas!!
