Here we are...down to the final 4. Mayra, Eugene, Albert, and Matt. One of these four is going to be the next champion of the Wane McGarity Bowl. Of these 4, only Albert has tasted the sweet success of being a champion. Will he get another chance to claim his 3rd title? Will Matt finally breakthrough the final 4 to get to the finals? Which powerhouse will be sent packing..Mayra..with her undefeated season on the line....or Eugene who mortgaged next year away to get here. We'll find out this week...here are the matchups and predictions.

Predictions
Yahoo Says: Mayra wins 134-116
I Say: Mayra wins..this is the matchup everyone wanted to see in the finals. Well, thanks to a combination of Eugene's team kinda struggling during the season and Drew's tank job in the final week of the season, we get this matchup in Round 2 instead. I believe the winner of this cakewalks to a title. It'll be a bitter pill for the loser to swallow knowing just how much easier either would've had against Albert or Matt. At the end of the day..until I see Mayra's team as a whole struggle, I cannot pick against her. There's always one or two guys on her team that go off and pick up the slack for those underperformers. It's critical that to even have a chance at the win..Eugene NEEDS a healthy Julio Jones. If he doesn't play or is limited..you can kinda forget it. Eugene needs all the firepower he can get to compete. I think Mayra takes it and goes on her quest to complete the perfect season and end it with a championship.
Channel 4 News Team (0-0) vs
Dr. Light's Robots (1-0) (My bad Matt!)

Dr. Light's Robots: Jordy Nelson (Bills) Emmanuel Sanders (Chargers) Odell Beckham Jr. (Redskins) Jamaal Charles* (Raiders)
Wild Cards
Channel 4 News Team: Difficult A.J. Green matchup. Can the old vets show up? (Boldin, Steve Smith, Fred Jackson)
Dr. Light's Robots: Jamaal Charles Health. No Real RB#2 (Trent Richardson starting). Production of supporting cast (Jordan Reed, Sammy Watkins, Big Ben).
Predictions
Yahoo Says: Albert wins 116-111
I Say: Albert wins. This is going to be tough. First of all Albert's only lost once in the playoffs and that was in the finals of 2012 against Leland. His 7 wins are by far the most in the league. 2nd, here's a crazy fact..Matt's been knocked out of the final four twice before....by ALBERT. Albert has his number in the playoffs. Both teams have obvious weaknesses..and this gets skewered big time towards Albert if Jamaal Charles for some reason misses this week. Matt has absolutely no RB depth behind Charles. I'll go with the guy who had the bye, but it will be a real close one to me.
