Round 1 Matchups and Predictions

Here we are folks, no more messin around. We've already eliminated 6 teams from playoff contention and now it's playoff time. Simple rules apply, win and advance, lose and your season is over. This should be short and sweet as I only have to predict two 1st round matchups. Me and Leland await the winners. Here we go


Scott's Tots (7-6) vs
Rocket Man (6-7)

Yahoo Says: Kenny wins
I Say: Kenny wins. They split the season series, but Eugene's win came in week 2 of the regular season. His team has torpedoed since then. He's on a 4 game losing streak and came unbelievably close missing the playoffs altogether thanks to a 56 point performance in Week 13. No Melvin Gordon, no A.J. Green, no real dependable QB, and now..he faces Kenny's team, which honestly, after accounting for all the recent injuries, is the best team in the playoffs in my opinion. There's no way Kenny loses this matchup. Eugene is way overmatched and this should end up being a big time blowout. I get the winner of this matchup next.

Light's Broken Bots (7-6) vs
Shock The Monkey (7-6)

Yahoo Says: Matt wins
I Say: Matt wins. Mark won by under 10 points in their first and only meeting. This matchup has a little bit more intrigue than Kenny/Eugene. If Mark's team had done their damn job, he would've had an easier opponent and played Eugene, but they didn't and here we are. Matt's got Kerryon Johnson in his lineup and I'm thinking he'll end being inactive, while Spencer Ware has a difficult matchup. I still think Matt takes it, but Mark does have a chance to pull of an upset and a couple of Matt's guys underperform.
