For Mark, Mayra, Mike, and Kenny, celebration time is over and it's time to gear up for the 1st round of the playoffs. This is it, what everyone plays for. Win and advance, lose and your season ends. I think both matchups should be good and have the potential to come down to the wire. Here are the predictions for Round 1 of the 2013 Wane McGarity Bowl Playoffs.
(3) Passion De La Puente (8-5) vs
(6) Shock The Monkey (7-6)
Playoff Stats
Passion De La Puente: 0-1
Shock The Monkey: First Time
Matchup Stats
All Time Record: Mike leads series 1-0
Last Matchup: Mike beat Mark 109-100.50 in Week 11
Key Players
Passion De La Puente: Tony Romo (Bears) Josh Gordon (Patriots) Wes Welker (Titans) Zac Stacy (Cardinals) Marshawn Lynch (49ers) Tony Gonzalez (Packers)
Shock The Monkey: Nick Foles (Lions) Victor Cruz (Chargers) Matt Forte (Cowboys) Steven Jackson (Packers) Rob Gronkowski (Browns)
Wild Cards
Passion De La Puente: Difficult Matchups for Welker, Stacy, Lynch. Who will be Gordon's QB?
Shock The Monkey: WR Production. Steven Jackson officially back as a legit fantasy RB?
Predictions
Yahoo Says: Mark wins 98-95
I Say: Mike wins, Mike's got the better overall team, but one thing working against him is those matchups. They are really difficult this week. His players have the talent to overcome them, but still it's going to be rough. Plus Josh Gordon might have to get used to yet another QB as both Brandon Weeden and Jason Campbell are suffering from concussions. Mark though will need his main players (Foles, Cruz, Forte, Gronk) to really step up though. I still don't trust his secondary players, especially those receivers. Brian Hartline won't be scoring 22 points again. Michael Crabtree also has a terrible matchup against the Seahawks. It's because of those players, that I'll give the slight edge to Mike, but it's not by much, and I wouldn't be shocked to see Mark win.
(4) Not Even Lying (8-5) vs
(5) Bigger Balls (7-6)
Playoff Stats
Not Even Lying: 0-1
Bigger Balls: First time in
Matchup Stats
All Time Record: Mayra leads series 3-1
Last Matchup: Mayra beat Kenny 133.5-72 in Week 13
Key Players
Not Even Lying: Drew Brees (Panthers) Calvin Johnson (Eagles) Demaryius Thomas (Titans) Shane Vereen (Browns)
Bigger Balls: Ben Roethlisberger (Dolphins) Antonio Brown (Dolphins) Alshon Jeffrey (Cowboys) Dez Bryant (Bears) Knowshon Moreno (Titans) Vernon Davis (Seahawks)
Wild Cards
Not Even Lying: Drew Brees difficult matchup. RB production
Bigger Balls: Is Aaron Rodgers playing? Difficult Vernon Davis matchup.
Predictions
Yahoo Says: Kenny wins 106-98
I Say: Kenny wins, well this is what Kenny wanted. He set himself up to play Mayra with the hopes that he wins and plays Dad next. I think it's easier said than done, and you can't sleep on Mayra's team. I do think though, he will end up getting the win, but it won't be easy. If Brees has the type of game he had against Seattle, Monday night, things could get bad, but I think Kenny's team is strong enough to survive Mayra. Mayra would get an upgrade if Aaron Rodgers were to be deemed active, but it's not looking good. Still, it wouldn't be shocking if she had a repeat performance of Week 13. Should be a good one.
Me and Dad have byes, and I'm not going to predict the consolation bowl, just give the results.
