2014 Championship Game: match-up

Here we are, after fifteen short and long weeks of ups and downs, this is moment ten coaches started playing for and only two get to enjoy:

Breesus King of the Drews (131) vs Zim's Doomydooms (132)

Look at those projections!

We know the story, a looong winning streak by Breesus that was stopped by Zim, handing him his first loss of the season and one of only two all year. Zim topped most points for the season, over Breesus, by a handful of points. Zim lost a couple of games more than Breesus, but still won a couple more than Agent P for outright second place.

It's Murrary v Lynch. Nelson v Beckham. Tate v Cobb. Gronk v Olsen. Maclin v Edelamn. The match-ups are ideal. Breesus has the clear advantage at QB, though, with perennial star Drew Brees. But Zim has stuck with Alex Smith all year and he has turned out solid performances. On average, Brees will put up 20 and Smith 15. Is this the key match-up?

Lynch is playing the Cardinal defence, no easy points. The rest of Zim's player amtch-ups look favourable, Gronk v Jets, Tate v Bears, Ingram v Falcons, Maclin v Redskins.

For Breesus, Brees v Falcons is good, so is Cobb v Bucs and Edelman v Jets. But Murrary v Colts is tough, add to that a broken hand, Mason v Rams and Beckhman v Rams are all tough assignments.

Love the match-ups, love that its the two most consistent teams all year facing off, can't wait to see how it plays out... can't believe Road to the Championship (tm) ended a week short...

Other games

Agent P and Doof face off for outright third place - same as they did a year ago. Doof took that game, maybe it's Agent P's turn? Not if my platypus trap has anything to do with it!

The General looks to finish with a win against the Lighties and take office bragging rights.

Endless and BB throw down in the final game. Both teams had ups and downs all year and both ended strongly.

A final check on how our infamous QBs have performed this year:

Luck: 336 (kept the General going but couldn't do it alone)
Rodgers: 314 (kept Doof going)
Manning: 291 (slowed down a lot in the last 3 games and killed the Lighties)
Wilson 282 (bench points for Doof)
Brees: 282 (always solid)
Roethlisberger: 276
Brady: 263 (bench points for the Lighties)
Tannehill: 236 (QB carousel for Marcy)
Rivers: 235 (up and down for Agent P led to a lack of trust)
Romo: 220
Newton: 206 (QB carousel for Marcy)
Smith: 206 (Zim shows that a top tier QB isn't the be all to end all... if you have two top tier RBs, TE, kicker and defence)
Kaepernick: 200 (hard to believe he scored less than Smith, Flacco and Eli)
