Golden Showers Fantasy Football League Week 6

Week 6 recap

Chris (1-5) vs Julian (3-3)

Let’s start with the game of the week. Chris has been hurting for his win and Julian is trying to stay in the playoff race. Bye weeks hit both teams hard this week with 7 total players on the bench with a bye. Julian had 7 players get over double digit scoring this week, but only 5 exceeded their projections. Julian's scoring was led by Andy Dalton and his 3 passing TD performance. He also smartly started Justin Forsett who had been questionable with an injury but came through for a 17.10 point day. His two TE line up saw Rob Gronkowski and Tyler Eifert combine for 27 points, but it was Gronk who couldn't keep up his end of the bargain by coming up short in his projected points. For Julian not one person really stepped up. Everyone was just around average. After weeks of playing around with his lineup, Chris finally hit on the right combination. 7 players hit double digits and 7 players went over their projected points (not all the same players). Chris had three guys go into overtime to also get a few extra points in bonus football time. Greg Olsen and Tom Brady led the way with 26.10 and 23.48 points. Olsen had a dominating game of 7 catches 131 yards and 1 game winning TD. Brady threw for 3 TDs of his own to go along with a 300 yard passing day. Two fill in adds, Kamar Aiken and Ronnie Hillman, both went over their projections with 11.20 and 14.50 respectively. Chris was just a little bit better than Julian in just about every position. Chris even has a new toy to play with have Martavis Bryant back from suspension and putting up 32.50 points on his bench. The league needs to watch out for this team. Chris gets his first win 130.98 - 112.72.

Matt H (6-0) vs Matt M (4-2)

With the battle for first place on the line this matchup had the highest combined score for the week. If you look at each team’s starting lineup they seem pretty even. Matt H has had QB injury trouble so he had to run out Ryan Tannehill this week and got an 18.04 score from him. Matt M has had Drew Brees trouble this season but he still managed to get a 16.68 score. Each team had a high scorer get over 35 points, DeAndre Hopkins (36.80) for Matt H and Devonta Freeman (35.80) for Matt M. Even the second highest scorer for each team was close! Matt H had Cory Ivory (28.60) and Matt M had Keenan Allen (29.70). I could keep the comparisons going. Matt H was let down by his two RBs who combined to score 20 points less than their projected totals. Matt M had two WRs combine to score 17 points less than their projected total. For every position they were neck and neck. Their Defense had a 1 point difference. Their TEs had a 2 point difference. You usually like to see these game come down to Monday Night. You want to see a star receiver go against a star running back to see who will win a match up. But no, this was not like that. This match was determined in the first set of games. Matt H had his kicker, Brandon McManus; get his third straight double digit week. He put up 14 points compared to Matt M, Adam Vinatieri, and 3 points. Matt H wins the kickers duel 141.74 - 133.78. #banthekicker

AJ (3-3) vs Josh (1-5)

In the lowest scoring match up of the week AJ is playing to keep up with playoff contention and Josh is just trying to stay relevant in this league. Josh only saw 3 of his players hit the projected totals this week. His disappointment was lead by his receiving duo that combined for 13.20 points. Both Antonio Brown and Jeremy Maclin each achieved their season low. Carson Palmer had another good not great week 421 yards passing and a TD, but also 2 INTs. Jarvis Landry was ok with a TD 66 total yard and 3 catches. AJ also had 3 players get over their projected totals. His high scorer Aaron Rodgers had another less than stellar day with 255 yards passing and 2 TDs for 19.60 points. AJ flex had a decent day, Eric Decker, with 4 catches for 59 yards and TD. He also lost a fumble, but it was still good enough for 13.90 points. One of this year’s fantasy surprises Gary Barnidge only had 3 catches for 39 yards, but two of them went for TDs and he racked up 18.90 points. Even though it was low scoring this did come down to Monday Night. AJ was holding firm to a 15 point lead and each had one player left. Odell Beckham Jr for AJ and DeMarco Murray for Josh. There may have been some optimism coming from Josh's sideline with news the Beckham might be out, but that quickly vanished with Beckham coming out for warm ups and news saying he is a go. It seemed like both teams on Monday Night wanted AJ to win this match up. Beckham dominated the first drive of the game and scored a TD. That pretty much put the match up out of reach for Josh immediately. Murray did his job by going for 109 yards rushing and a TD and also adding 3 catches for 14 yards. Murray scored a match up high score of 21.30 points. Josh scored the lowest point total of the week and AJ had the lowest point total for a winning team this week. AJ gets the win 108.30 – 95.44.

Rico (4-2) vs Mike (1-5)

Mike is still trying to figure out his lineup, but you can see he is putting the work in. It seems like all the right pieces are there he just need to come up with the right formula. He had big output from Arian Foster who had 112 total yards including 5 catches and a TD for 22.20. Foster’s score was high than any single player on Rico’s roster, and that wasn’t even Mike’s best guy for the day. Calvin Johnson finally showed up this season, in an overtime game he hauled in 6 catches for 166 yard and 1 TD for the games high score of 28.60. Unfortunately for Mike that was all the good news for him. Six out of nine players did not reach their projected total. Shane Vereen, who had a great week last week getting 25 points, could only come up with 1 catch for 6 yards on Monday Night and 1.60 points. Thursday Night Mike had a disappointing performance by Brandin Cooks, who could only get 8.10 points of his projected 15.29. Mike might want to think about activating his number one pick, Andrew Luck scored 27.98 points while sitting on the bench this week, whereas, Eli Manning put up a measly 10.76. Rico, on the other hand, had a great day. It was a pure team effort with not one person taking all the glory. Seven of the nine starters reached their projections. The high scorer was Jimmy Graham who had 8 catches for 140 yards for a season high of 22.00 points. Right behind him was Mark Ingram who on Thursday had 2 rushing TD to go all with 56 total yards. Everyone took care of business for Rico. The one chink in the armor though is at RB with Eddie Lacy hardly showing up to play. His stat line showed 3 rushing yards with 2 catches and 17 yards receiving. Lacy’s 4 points were a quarter of what he was projected. And then there is Julio Jones who only got 6 catches for 93 yards and came up short of his projection of 18.99 points (pathetic). Rico left Alshon Jeffery just sitting on the bench this week who scored a total of 28.70 points. Rico’s winning streak continues 146.20 – 102.26.

Gino (4-2) vs Reuben (3-3)

Reuben was favored to win this matchup by 2 points, but for the second week in a row Gino comes up with the highest score of the week! Gino saw seven of his staters get above their projected totals. His top scorer was Philip Rivers who went crazy on the field throwing for 503 yards and 2 TDs, and nearly missing a third TD at the very end of the game. He brought in 28.12 points. Gino had a pair of WRs, Demaryius Thomas and Allen Robinson, that went over 20 points; and his third WR TY Hilton was .60 away from another 20 points. Matt Forte was also was flirting with 20 points just missing it with 19.90 points, which also cause him to be under his projected score. The one blunder Gino had was he left in TJ Yeldon who didn’t play and gave Gino a 0. It may have been a mistake or maybe he was just took mercy on Reuben. Reuben posted up the second lowest score of the weekend, not even reaching 100 total points. Reuben only had three players over their projections. Emmanuel Sanders and Julius Thomas were the lone bright spots . Each were over 20 points. Reuben’s third player hitting his projection was Mason Crosby, kicker, who got 9.00 points, projected for 8.04. Reuben was let down by his top two picks Le’Veon Bell and AJ Green, who combined for 16.40 points while they were projected for 38.80. Bell had a quiet 88 yard rushing day and Green had a pedestrian 4 catch 36 yard day. Reuben’s highly touted big waiver wire pickup, Charcandrick West, had a tough first day in the spotlight,  39 total yards and lost a fumble which got him a score of 2.90 points. Former fantasy football great, Peyton Manning, had another forgettable performance. Only 290 yards passing with a TD, the 3 INTs killed his day. Manning was 5 points shorts of his projection with a score of 12.60. I guess Gino didn’t feel comfortable going into the Monday Night game with only a 45.12 point lead and Reuben all out of players. So just to be safe he started the Philadelphia Defense and they were awesome. They held the Giants to 7 points, they had 3 sacks, 1 fumble recovery, 2 INTs, and took one of those for a TD. 19.00 points are added to Gino’s total giving him 160.62. Gino gets his first Biggest Blowout of the Week. This is also the second week in a row Reuben is on the losing end of the Biggest Blowout of the Week. Gino crushes 160.62 - 96.50.

Golden Showers Fantasy Football League Week 5

Week 5 Recap

Matt H (5-0) vs Josh (1-4)

Josh had everything lined up this week to take down an undefeated Matt. Two key line up changes by putting Todd Gurley and DeMarco Murray in at RB this week that saw both go over their projected total getting over 32 combined points. Made a trade to get Charles Clay that was needed to give his TE position a chance for points. And finally inserted a red hot Jeremy Maclin who also went over his projected total. Matt was the underdog by four points this week, but he wasn't worried. He knew his studs would go off. DeAndre Hopkins and Dion Lewis combined for over 51 points for him. Matt's QB Tyrod Taylor had another solid game adding 23.36 points, over his projection. There was also disappointment in both lineups. Josh's big TE trade couldn't even get him two points. The TE he traded away got 8 points sitting on a bench. His QB Carson Palmer was hardly in the game. Palmer barely got his projected total but was replaced early because his team was beating the Lions by way too much. Palmer didn't even get enough snaps to qualify for the weekly contest for QBR. Matt saw three players get below there projected points. The disappointing Jeremy Hill is still not impressing the fantasy world this yea, Jordan Matthews kept dropping TDs, and the Colts forgot about Donte Moncrief this week. Like most weeks this match came down to Monday Night. Matt had a 15 point lead, but Josh had his high scoring number one pick Antonio Brown going. No defense had been able to stop him he had just snapped an NFL record streak of games with 5 catches and 50 yards. This win seemed like a lock. But then Mike Vick decided he hates Antonio Brown and never threw him the ball. Brown only scored 7.50 points. Heart breaking for Josh. Matt Squeaks by to remain undefeated 121.26 - 114.24.

Julian (3-2) vs Matt M (4-1)

The rookie, Matthew Miller, coming into this week 5 thinking this fantasy football thing is easy. All of his players have been on fire. Some how he drafted the fantasy MVP, who came out of no where. Knowing him I'm sure he was already writing his victory speech. This week he got a taste of fantasy heart break, and it came in a big way. Matt's first pick and overall stud Jamaal Charles went down with an ACL injury, he is done. Matt also saw another quartet of his players come up short on their projections; Randal Cobb, Micheal Bennett, Vincent Jackson, and Keenan Allen. Allen was the high scorer with only 11.70 points. Not all bad news for Matt. The MVP I was referring to is of course Devonta Freeman who put up another monster game getting 32.70 points. Matt Defense the Packers smacked around the Rams good on Sunday giving him another 23 points. This day belonged to Julian though. His team went off with 6 of his players getting over their projected points. Top scorer Andy Dalton is proving that he is the real thing this year. Julian started his fan favorite Bengals stack have Tyler Eifert  start at TE. this turned out to be a good move because Dalton threw 2 TDs in the game and both were to Eifert, Julian was just hogging all of the Bengals points ( he also started Gio Benard). Julian being the brave man he is started the Jaguars number two receiver and got reward. Allen Hurns went over 100 yards and a TD scoring 22.60 points. Last but not least Justin Forsett had a day with a TD and 170 yards. This match was all Julian who took a 50 plus point lead into Monday Night. Matt had no chance. Julian gives Matt his first loss 160.54 - 121.00.

Gino (3-2) vs AJ (2-3)

In a battle of a couple of two 2-2 teams Gino and AJ both started out hot. AJ, who has been the master of the waiver wire, put up two huge scores from players who the fantasy community are just recognizing. Gary Barnidge has been lighting up the score boards the last few weeks and this one was no differnt. With a dominatng 8 catch, 139 yard, and 1 TD game he nearly hit 5 times his projected target, 27.90 points. Another player that AJ was ahead of the game with was Willie Snead. Snead has turned into a top pass catcher who add 5 catches and 74 yards with a TD to gain 20.10 points. A more common house hold name Odell Beckham Jr did his usual thing and went off on Sunday Night getting AJ 25.40 more points. Gino's morning, or afternoon since he lives a little farther east, was just as high scoring. His stud Matt Forte went over 100 yards and caught a late TD to get 21.90 points. Newly acquired Allen Robinson scored 2 TDs to go along with 7 catches and 72 yards and put up 26.20 points for his monster day. The was some let down between the teams. Gino's top receivers Demaryius Thomas and TY Hilton both could not hit their projections. AJ saw his QB Aaron Rodgers give up 3 turnovers and had a season low of 17.54 points. Also, there is CJ Anderson, who is part of that inept Bronco offense. He only got 6 points from a projected 11. AJ's real killer was his Defense, Houston, who got him a grand total of 0 points. After all of that AJ still took a 13.24 point lead going into Monday Night. But, Gino had his other newly acquired pick ups going. A Charger stack consisting of Philip Rivers and his BFF Antonio Gates. Rivers threw for 365 yards and 2 TDs, and of course those 2 TDs went to Antonio Gates who added 9 catches and 92 yards. Together they combined for 51.80 points and just ran away with the contest. Gino wins with this weeks high score 161.50 - 122.94.

Mike (1-4) vs Reuben (3-2)

Going into week 5 Reuben had his mind on separating himself from the pack. With only one loss up to this point a win would give him a 4-1 record on a clear path to the playoffs. Unfortunately for him his team was popping champagne bottles before the game. Only three players went over their projected points and they barely did it. LeVeon Bell eclipsed his projection by .11 points and this was the high scorer with 22.70 points. Jason Witten couldn’t get half of his points, but it’s not his fault…he has no QB. Emmanuel Sanders went over 100 yards but only went over his projection by 1.75 points, but it’s not his fault either because he has no QB. Too bad for Reuben because the QB is also HIS QB, Peyton Manning. Peyton had another weak game with 266 yards and 2 INTs. That’s it. He scored a grand total of 8.64 points, 10 below his projection. Ameer Abdullah through in another 1.60 points and his free agent Defense the Giants could not contain the resurgent 49ers offense and only scored 2 points. Mike has had a tough start to the season. His QB Andrew Luck hasn’t been 100%. His late round flyers haven’t panned out. He even had a week where a QB and RB combined for 0 points. But you know what…there is still a lot of fight, and heart, and toughness in this kid. He has waited patiently for Arian Foster to return to form, 118 total yards 9 catches and 20.80 points. He searched vigorously on the waiver wire to find Eli Manning to start for him at QB who faced a soft 49ers Defense and through for 441 yards and 3 TD for 29.74 points. He even started the Rams Defense against Aaron Rodgers and the high scoring Packers, but he knew this was the day Rodgers would slip up and give the ball away 3 times and succumb to 2 sacks. And lets not forget he called up Doug Martin from the bench who did nothing but rush for 123 yard and 2 TDs, plus he catch a TD too. You can tell he was so sure of himself he picked up and started Owen Daniels from the inept Bronco offense who laid a goose egg. Mike wins crushing Reuben for the blow out of the week 153.44 - 95.54.

Rico (3-2) vs Chris (0-5)

A rare mid week trade between opponents this week made this match up a little more tense. The trash talking for this game started long ago and continued up until kick off. Rico sent over his QB Tom Brady and RB Danny Woodhead, breaking up his Patriot and Charger connection, to Chris for his two starting RBs Mark Ingram and Eddy Lacy. Once brothers now enemies, these player were now scoring points against the ones who drafted them. Brady had his normal 3 TD 275 yard passing day getting Chris an unfamiliar 25.30 points in the QB spot. Chris saw 6 of his players get over their projected points. New addition to the line up Duke Johnson Jr had 13.70 points. Chris’s has new Patriot stack with Brady and of course his top scorer Stephen Gostkowski. Gostkowski added 15 more points. Rico’s trade was not quite as profitable as he would have hoped. His two new RBs were projected for 31.32 points but could only scratch out 13.90 between them. In Rico’s other trade he sent Philip Rivers for Matt Ryan. Rico, trying to create and offensive stack with Falcons Ryan and his Stud Julio Jones. But just like the RBs it was a little disappointing. Ryan had 3 turnovers and 0 TDs earning him a 8.16 point total, 10 short of his projection. Julio was playing banged up and only had 5 catches for 67 yards, fortunately for Rico, Julio fell on a fumble in the end zone scoring Rico a cheap TD. Rico only had 3 players over their projected totals and the top two scored 22 points each. Julian Edelman had 120 yards on only 4 catches and one of those was a TD. The other is maybe Rico’s most consistent play, the Denver Defense. The Broncos picked up two fumbles and took a pick to the house all while only letting the Raiders score 10 points. The Broncos 22 Defensive points (orange) crushed their projected total of 8.44 points. Rico had a 28.10 point lead going into Sunday Night, but Chris had two more players. Both newly acquired. Larry Donnell had a quiet game most of the night…up until the last drive. Donnell made an uncharacteristic, unbelievable game winning TD catch which shot up his point total to 15.50 points. Chris was within striking distance and it all came down to Monday Night. Danny Woodhead was going in what was believed to be a shootout. Woodhead was averaging 16 points a game and Chris only needed 14.57 to claim his first victory. The Chargers used Woodhead from the beginning and he got a fast 12.60 point start, but after that the Chargers just forgot about him and he didn’t touch the ball the rest of the way. Chris was 1.96 points short of Rico and that elusive victory. Rico dodges a…what’s more dangerous than a bullet? Cannon Ball, Torpedo, Nuke? No. A years long worth of ridicule. Don’t worry Chris you will get another chance at him. Rico wins 113.56 - 111.60.

Golden Showers Week 4

Week 4 Recap

Matt M (4-0) vs Josh (1-3)

Horrible. Just awful. This had to be the most embarrassing effort in all of fantasy football. I mean just think what could have been if things were different. Of course what I am talking about is that Matt started Randall Cobb. He could not even get half of his projected points (pathetic). Everyone else in his starting line exceeded their projections. Matt’s team was led by Devonta Freeman and his 3 TDs for a second week in a row. A late week add in Martellus Bennett piled on 25 points. But this huge out put of points seemed to go to waste. Not because Matt faced a foe that pulled out a total greater then his, no, quite the opposite. Josh rolled out his line up with high hope, but it turned out to be a day he wish he could forget. In the direct inverse of Matt’s lineup Josh only had 1 player reach and exceed his projected total. Good ol’ John Brown led the way with 15.80 points for Josh’s squad. Just to reiterate, Josh saw 8 of his 9 players come up short of their projected totals. It was a rare bad day for the Steelers with Heath Miller and Antonio Brown combining for 10.30 points. Carlos Hyde being plagued by a bad offense which isn’t letting him run only got 3.20 points. Just needed to look towards his bench, which out scored his starters (86.90) by 10 points with only 5 guys. As good as Matt was he could have done better. Vincent Jackson was sitting on his bench with 30.70 point, he probably should get rid of that bum Cobb. Matt wins the most uncompetitive contest ever 181.56 - 76.88.

Reuben (3-1) vs Chris (0-4)

As bad as Josh’s team looked he still outscored Chris’s team. Chris had a tough day only seeing one of his guys get over their projected total. Mark Ingram led his team with 18.80 points. Greg Olsen seemed to disappear, last week he was a monster, this week he was as quiet as a mouse only getting 4.80 points. The usually reliable Marvin Jones, who apparently only catches touchdowns, only had one catch and it was not a touchdown. The big hype this week was for Derek Carr, but he just couldn’t live up to the expectation. Reuben only saw two of his guys reach the projected totals. Led by Le’Veon Bell and his 28 points, Reuben was able to just get enough out his players to get by Chris. AJ Green had an ok game for his standards getting 15.20 points. The second highest scorer was the Carolina Defense which has been the most consistent part of the line up. Reuben and his team are still scoring 100 points a week. Chris on the other is still winless and drastic changes may be on the horizon. Reuben wins a blow out 109.02 - 70.54.

Rico (2-2) vs Julian (2-2)

In one of the closer matches Julian had a good head start by having Justin Forsett getting an early 15 points on Thursday Night. His leading scorers were Pierre Garcon, who added 18.50 points with a late game winning TD in his game, and Chandler Catanzaro, who seemed to kick all the points for the Cardinals in that game. Julian did see let downs by the usually stout Cardinals Defense who could only come up with 1 point against the Rams, and also Darren Sproles who barely saw any action getting only 1.70 points. Rico had his usual high scoring game having 5 of his players get past their projections (two others just miss the projections by .04 and .06). Rico had a Chargers connection that led him in points. Philip Rivers and Danny Woodhead had 26.22 and 17.80 respectively. Rico did see disappointment in his star receiver though. Julio Jones only had 4 catches for 38 yards which equaled to 7.80 points (cut him). At the end of the Sunday day games Rico had a slight 13 point lead with Dan Bailey and Jimmy Graham still to go, while Julian had his QB Russell Wilson left. It wouldn’t be the craziest thing to see Wilson go off and lead Julian to victory. Rico had Bailey get 8 more points Sunday Night to pad his lead to 21 points now. All Julian needed was for Wilson to get over 20 points and not have Jimmy Graham see the ball. Well this almost happened. Jimmy only had 4 catches for 29 yards (cut him). Wilson couldn’t get it done though with 2 fumbles and a lack luster offensive performance he only got 15.48 points, below his projected total. Rico wins a down to the wire match 118.82 - 105.68.

AJ (2-2) vs Mike (0-4)

In what was projected to be the biggest blow out of the week turned out to be a defense struggle. Neither team could really take control and put up those high scores we have been accustomed to see in this league. I really feel the difference might have been when Mike was too busy saving lives and keeping the world safe and forgot to change out and injured Andrew Luck from his lineup. Hey it happens to the best of us. To be fair to AJ though the back up would have been Matthew Stafford and he got smothered by the Seahawks Defense and only got 8.12 points. Another costly reason for Mike’s low out put was Ryan Matthews, who scored big last week but put up a doughnut this week. Now luckily for AJ, this time, Mike last Doug Martin on the bench who had his best game of the year gaining 25.30 points. Not all bad news for Mike, the Rams Defense, Graham Gano, and Travis Benjamin all went over the projected scores. AJ got decent production from his lineup, compared to his opponent, at least everyone score a point. Aaron Rodgers was basically shut down by a strong 49ers Defense and only got 16.26 points, 5 points short of projected. Super stud Odell Beackham Jr couldn’t crack 9 points, and Jordan Reed ended up injuring himself twice in the game only getting have his projection. AJ was led to victory by the pick up of the week in Karlos Williams who surpassed his projection and scored 16 points, and also Justin Tucker kicked for 15 points on Thursday Night. Oh what could have been for Mike if he changed his quarterback…probably not much. AJ wins an interesting match 89.06 - 62.40.

Matt H (4-0) vs Gino (2-2)

This turned out to be the game of the week. Gino was projected to win by 15 and hand Matt his first loss of the season. Matt was already in a hole after watching his top scoring QB Ben Roethlisberger go down last week he had to make a key QB pick up off of waivers. He got Tyrod Taylor who had been lighting the fantasy football world on fire. Unfortunately for Matt Taylor had his lowest output of points for the season. Jordan Matthews and Travis also had underwhelming performances both getting well below their projected totals. Matt did see 5 of his players get above their projections. His team was led by DeAndre Hopkins who added a second straight 100 yard day and Jeremy Hill who woke back up and scored 3 TDs, they scored 24.70 and 24.00 points. 'All Day’ Adrian Peterson was also flirting with another 20 point day. Gino still continues to show us that you score points and win games through the draft, plus so key free agents help I guess. Gino saw 8 of his players get into double digit scoring, 5 of them passing their projections. Charles Clay and Brandon Marshall led the way with 20.10 and 19.80 scores. Cam Newton wasn’t needed much in his game, so they had a disappointing 16.06 points. Both of Gino’s RBs were under the projected targets. Once again we had another contest go down to Monday Night Football. Matt took a slim point lead into the game with still needing to roll out a shaky Seahawks Defense and Gino H=having Steven Hauschka still to kick for the Seahawks. Good thing for Gino the Seahawks haven’t really figures out to score TDs yet so his kicker benefited scoring 11 points for the night. The Seahawks Defense was able to keep the Lions off the scoreboard for the most part but were not getting any extra points with sacks or turnovers. With time winding down Gino has a lead of .40 with the Lions driving. Calvin Johnson of the Lions catches an arrow pattern and is heading straight for the end zone. The touchdown will gaurentee and victory for Gino and knock Matt out of the ranks of the undefeated. Out of no where Kam Chancellor flies in and knocks the ball loose inches from the goal line. The ball goes out of the endzone with a little nudge from KJ Wright for the touchback. Matt gets the point for the fumble recovery and takes a small lead as time expires. Matt wins a thrilling Monday Night comeback to remain undefeated 133.96 - 132.36.

Golden Showers Week 3 Recap

Week 3 Recap

Matt H (3-0) vs Mike (0-3)

This matchup was against two teams going into two different directions. The projected score for both teams had about a twenty point difference. Matt started out the day with disappointments. Three of his top point scorers, Jeremy Hill, Jonathan Stewart, and Ben Roethlisberger, were disgustingly below their projected point total; only getting 14 points out of a projected 46.25 points. Mike on the other hand did better, but not much. Finally his number one pick and QB Andrew Luck showed up, kinda. He still scored under his projection but nearly hit the 20 point mark, by far his best game of the year. Brandin Cooks went over his projection for the first time this season for Mike! Not sure if it was because of stellar back QB play or because Yahoo! has been lowering it since Week 1. Mike saw one other player go above and beyond for him, his Defense. 7 of 9 players were under again for Mike. Calvin Johnson gave him a shot on Sunday Night but wasn’t enough since Matt had Travis Kelce going Monday night tacking on an unnecessary 16 point Matt did not need for victory. Matt did win by a mediocre 114.58 - 92.50.

AJ (1-2) vs Chris (0-3)

Here was two teams trending in the same direction. In a battle of two 0-2 teams this became a must win. Going 0-3 with the Dice of Doom looming is not a good thing. Chris had a great Sunday! Two of his top scores were ironically playing each other, Ryan Tannehill went over his projections by getting over 18 points all while playing his own starting Defense in Buffalo, who also exceeded the projection scoring 15 points. Chris had league high kicker in Stephen Gostkowski, 17 points, and league high Tight End Greg Olsen, who did his own version of beast mode and got 33.40 points. All but two of the starters scored in double digits for Chris and he had victory in his sights. There was just one problem. AJ set the lineup of his life. Even though he did have three players combine for 12 points he did have five to go for over 20. Led by Joseph Randle who went crazy for 3 TDs and 30 points and Rishard Matthews who got 2 TDs and 29.30 points. This match came down to Monday Night though. AJ had a slight lead but each had studs going; Eddie Lacy for Chris and Aaron Rodgers for AJ. Rodgers threw for 5 TDs and because of that there was nothing left for Lacy at the end of the game. AJ wins the blowout of the week 165.82 - 138.38.

Matt M (3-0) vs Gino (2-1)

Once again Gino and his auto drafted team had a great week. Cam Newton went for three total TDs and 29.90 points, 10 over his projected. Gino had two receivers get over 20 points also, Brandon Marshall and Demaryius Thomas. A total of six players went over the projected points. Gino was let down by both of his RBs though both gaining less then their projections. Matt’s Sunday started out rough. He had to scramble to get a back up QB after Drew Brees was announced out  for his game. He signed Teddy Bridgewater who had a pathetic day only getting 3.74 points. Zach Ertz and LeSean McCoy were also a no shows for Matt only getting half of their projections. There was a welcome back party for Keenan Allen though, 12 receptions, 133 yards and 2 TDs equaled 37.30. It makes you wonder if Matt is ready for this roller coaster ride Allen is going to take him on. Devonta Freeman probably had the best game of his life 3 TDs and 193 total yards, 42.30 points. I’m not sure if Matt is lucky or good five of his nine starters were in single digits. Gino had a commanding 47 point lead going into Monday Night and Matt only had two players left. Unfortunately they were Randall Cobb and Jamaal Charles. Both of these men combined for 6 TDs and 66.50 points. All Gino could do was watch his insurmountable lead slowly vanish. Matt wins the Monday Night miracle 174.44 - 155.20.

Julian (2-1) vs Josh (1-2)

Once again Josh was the favorite in what turned out to be the closest match up of the week. Josh decided it was time for a change at QB and brought in the old vet Carson Palmer. It turned out to be the right choice nearly getting 20 points and out scoring the freshly benched Sam Bradford by 11 points. Josh's leading point scorer turned out to be another old guy in Frank Gore which probably confused him by thinking it was 2008. Josh had five players not only get under their projected totals by fail to score double digits. Julian, however, saw six of his guys in double digits, but only three get over their projections. Julian’s whole day was back and forth he saw good in Amari Cooper, 19.40 points, and bad in Justin Forsett, 6.90. Or the really bad in Tyler Eifert throw up a goose egg, 0.00, and then the really good in the Arizona defense, 28.00 points. Like I said this was a close match, some may say it was the Arizona defense that won the game, but it really came down to Monday Night and Josh deciding to not start Jeremy Maclin who had 28.10 points on the bench. Julian was able to hold on and win 116.30 - 103.34.

 Reuben (2-1) vs Rico (1-2)

In this week’s highest scoring match up the spread was less then 1 point and the over and under was 254 points. Rico came out strong with his usual Patriot connection, Tom Brady and Julian Edelman combined for 39.22 points. Julio Jones added another 40 points and Rico’s high scoring team was off and running. Reuben’s day was led by two receivers from the same game, AJ Green and Steve Smith Sr. combined for 23 catches, 413 yards, 4 TDs, and 88.30 points. Le’Veon Bell made his return by earning a modest 26.2 points. Rico came back though, in the afternoon games Larry Fitzgerald and Jimmy Graham with had great game combining for 55.70 points. Rico took a lead going into the Sunday Night game. HIs Denver defense out did themselves again by doubling their projected total. But bad news for Rico, Reuben had four players left and three of them were going Sunday Night. Reuben had his own Bronco connection going with Peyton Manning and Emmanuel Sanders bringing in 34.56 points and also Ameer Abdullah adding another 12 points to get Reuben a lead with Rico all out of players. Reuben tacked on 9 more point from his kicker Mason Crosby. I hope everyone took the over in this game because 348 points were scored nearly a 100 point over the projection. Reuben wins a thriller 187.76 - 160.42.

Week 2 Recap

Week 2 is complete! We are starting to see some separation but it is still early and no one is out of it yet.

The winner of the weekly contest of most combined receiving and rushing yards by a starter was me! Antonio Brown had 195 total yards.
Second was Adrian Peterson with 192 total yards owned by Matt H. Third was Odell Beckham Jr with 146 total yards owned by AJ.
But of course if you're not first you're last.

Here is the weekly recap for Week 2

Rico vs AJ

What a week AJ had! AJ had three players go over 20 points plus another 15 by his kicker. His top scorer, Beckham Jr, had a career day in yards. Aaron Rodgers exceeded expectations and he even got a dominate performance out of the flex spot with Eric Decker. Unfortunately he was let down by both his RBs combining for 11 points, his 2nd receiver who only got half his projected points, and a shocker to the whole league his defense scored -1 point going against the Raiders. Anyone could have made that mistake.  But none of that really mattered because Rico’s team went insane this week. Rico had five players over 20 points two over 30. His top scorer Larry Fitzgerald, who was a late add to the lineup, was pushing 40. This might be the team to beat. Even the low point getters could still score big when their respective teams have good days.  Rico went 60 points over his projected points for the week. AJ takes the tough loss. Rico wins 182.54 – 133.46.

Julian vs Reuben

In this week’s closet contest. Reuben started hot on Thursday night with a Bronco stack of Peyton Manning and Emmanuel Sanders combining for 50 points. Sunday Reuben gambled on the Cowboys pass catchers which also paid off for him with an additional 31 points. AJ Green and Shane Vereen also had respectable days, but it was Ameer Abdullah who let him down by only getting 2.80 points. Led by Gronk and Amari Cooper Julian came storming back. Julian’s defense doubled their projected total which set up for a Sunday night show down. Reuben had a slight lead with his kicker Mason Crosby still to go. Julian had Russell Wilson and a not so favorable matchup. Crosby doubles his point projection getting 16 late points for Reuben. But Russell Wilson, who even tried to blow it for Julian by throwing a pick in the 4th quarter, finished with 23 points. Julian squeaks by 136.44 – 134.74.

Gino vs Josh

What a week Josh had, but of the pathetic nature. Other than Antonio Brown who got 36.5 points, everyone else was average to disappointing. Seven player did not even get their projected totals. Let’s talk about his bench where 33.5 points were just sitting in the form of Allen Robinson. Josh probably should have put in his backup QB who had 9 more point then his starter, which was all the points Sam Bradford had.  On the other side Gino had 6 players over their projected totals. With a big game from Torrey Smith, some may call it garbage time score but not me, added 26 points. Even as bad a Josh was this week he had a small lead going into Monday night. But Gino was just toying with him because he unleashed Brandon Marshall who had 7 catches 101 yards and a TD which equals to 23.10 point to crush Josh’s hope and dream for this week. Gino wins 135.02 – 119.56.

Matt M vs Mike

This was a very competitive game. Both Mike and Matt saw high scores in some players but had huge let downs in others. Mike had the highest scorer in the matchup getting 24.3 points from Calvin Johnson and also adding 14 points from his TE Kyle Rudolph. That’s where the good news ended Mike had big letdowns by both RBs, his flex spot, and the St. Louis defense. Matt saw a little success as well. On Thursday night Jamaal Charles had a good game which should have been better if not for the 2 turnovers. Vincent Jackson, Randall Cobb, and the New England defense all were in double digits. Matt did see his top scorer from last week Keenan Allen (31.6 points) come crashing back down to Earth in flames and fire and death by scoring 1.6 points, 30 points less.  Matt had a 20 point lead going into Monday night. Not a huge deficit to overcome especially when you have Andrew Luck, who was projected for 20 points. Once again Mike was let down by his top pick and saw Luck give up 4 turnovers to fall short. Matt wins 100.70 – 90.30.

Matt H vs Chris

This was the Feeble Bowl. It was definitely the lowest scoring contest in the young season. Chris had three players score less than 1 point. To be fair most of his problems were injury related. Chris did have the top performer in the match; Colin Kaepernick had a great day with 26.5 points. Chris’s kicker Stephen Gostkowski threw in 19 points of his own. Matt also had injury problems with Tony Romo leaving with a broken whatever (he’s gone).  Matt saw his top scorers, Jordan Matthews and Adrian Peterson, have good days with 20 and 19 points respectively. But this came down to the Sunday night football game. Matt had a 2 point lead with only the Seattle defense left and Chris had his top pick Eddie Lacy. Chris had a win in his sights. Every carry would bring him closer to Matt and ever score would pull Matt’s totals down…but nope Lacy went down early. He was one of Chris players to score under 1 point, but the top scorer of those three with 0.9 points. Matt wins a nail biter 87.30 – 82.00.

Week 1 Golden Showers Fantasy Football League

Weekly recap

Gino vs Julian

Julian started out hot with Gronk giving him a nice cushion and then Chris Ivory continued to put up the points for Julian on Sunday morning. After that it was all Gino. Lead by Matt Forte Gino's whole line up was in double digits. Then come Monday night Matt Ryan helped Gino get the lead he would not give up. Good thing Gino drafted this team, he wins a close one 132.62 - 126.44.

Matt H vs Rico

Rico jumped out to a huge lead on Thursday night with the Patriot combo of Brady and Edelman. It looked like a runaway. Then team R. Kelly got into action. DeAndre Hopkins and Travis Kelce, from the same game, just went off combining for 15 catches, 204 yards, 4 TDs, and one 2 pt conversation. Matt had 7 players at or near 20 points. Rico attempted a comeback with Julio Jones scoring 35 points but the deficit was just too much. Matt won 181.34 - 163.02. Rico would have beaten every other team.

Josh vs Mike

Josh jumped out to a quick Thursday night lead with Antonio Brown getting close to 30 points and Heath Miller adding 15 of his own. Sunday and Monday had a nice complimentary WR and RB duo with Jarvis Landry and DeMarco Murray. Unfortunately for Mike his team really never got going. Mike's top pick Andrew Luck had an underwhelming debut. Nearly everyone on Mike's lineup underperformed. The lone bright spot was TE Jordan Reed who scored over double his projected points. Josh seemed to have got lucky this week. Let's all hope the good fortunes stays with him all season long. Josh wins 139.14 - 94.32.

 

Matt M vs Chris

What a tough day for Chris in his fantasy day. One of his top picks, Mike Evans, was ruled out right before kick off and had to scramble to change his roster. Chris's RBs did ok hitting their projections but everyone else did not come close. It seemed like he transferred all of his skill and luck in fantasy football and put it into his St. Louis Rams so they could squeak out a win. For his sake I hope he and the Rams didn't lose all the luck for the rest of the season. Matt played his first week ever in fantasy football and talk about beginners luck. I mean how else did he know Keenan Allen would blow up like that. Matt must have been so confident in winning he told his kicker to take the day off and got no points from him and still won by 30. Better luck next time Chris. Matt wins 124.30 - 93.84.

Reuben vs AJ

In maybe the most even matchup of the week AJ and Reuben went toe to toe. Both sides had big scorers AJ with Aaron Rodger and Reuben with Jason Witten. And both had players that let them down. Reuben saw his personal hero Peyton Manning forget how to quarterback and his rookie RB not quite ready for the spotlight. The WR combo of OBJ and Andre Johnson did nothing for AJ to help his cause both only getting half of their projected total. The one main discrepancy was the Carolina defense that Reuben rolled out their which out scored AJ's D by 19 points. Reuben won 116.10 - 102.86.

2015 NFL Predictions

Opening night eve for the NFL season. What a wonderful time of year! I have come back to again give my opinion on how this season is going to turn out. And, by the way, I don't like to brag but I'm pretty good at this. Except for last year. I was way off for the playoffs. I'm sure that was a fluke and I will be right on this year. Ok here we go!

AFC:

NORTH

1. Steelers - The Steelers are in a strange time. Big Ben, Antonio Brown, and Le’Veon Bell will lead their high scoring offense. While the usually stout defense is in rebuild mode. But there is a great chance this defense can get it together to win the division. The offense will carry the defense to a division title.
2. Bengals - I think if we have learned one thing from the Bengals it’s that they are a great regular team. The offense will score points and the defense will get the big stops to win football games. This is a good football team but not a great one. That can’t contend with the elite teams of the league.
3. Ravens - They seem like the boring team for this year. It’s you get what you see. Yeah they will win games but so what. I’m not really inspired by this team. Steve Smith Sr. already announced his retirement tour so there is that. The defense will be good and Terrell Suggs will get a lot of personal foul penalties and possibly fines. We better keep our eye out for that.
4. Browns - Lets see there will be a good defense here that will keep the Browns in the game. A really good offensive line to give the RBs and QB a chance. I just don’t see any playmakers in their skill positions. Their best offensive weapon is a rookie RB with a concussion. Get well soon Duke Johnson Jr.

SOUTH

1. Colts - Andrew Luck is great and will probably win the MVP this year. The got future Hall of Fame RB Frank Gore to finally give them a running game. So now I think they are unstoppable on offense. The defense will be a good one for the Colts. With a weak division they should cruise. 
2. Texans - Man, this was a fun team to watch on Hard Knocks this year. J.J. Watt is a beast and can do anything. DeAndre Hopkins will lead a young offense into the season while the team waits for Arian Foster to return from injury. This defense will get a lot of sack, but I’m not sure if the secondary will be able to stop the opposing teams passing game.
3. Jaguars - The Jaguars are building a solid foundation on offense through the draft. Blake Bortles, Allen Robinson, and T.J. Yeldon are up and coming stars on the offense. The defense will surprise a lot of people. They are big, they are fast, and they can tackle. They will no longer be the laughing stock of the NFL.
4. Titans - Marcus Mariota is a great talent. I hope the Titans don’t waste it. I don’t think there is enough help for Mariota this year to contend. The defense isn't the greatest either. There are going to be a lot of tough weeks, but Mariota should make it a little exciting.

EAST

1. Patriots - The Patriots still own this division, for at least one more year. I feel Tom Brady and company are going to be in a straight screw you mode to the NFL and try to blow people out. I don’t think the defense gets enough credit. They did lose both of their corners but some how they always find a way to win.
2. Dolphins - If any team can dethrone the champs it will be the Dolphins. This team led by their QB Ryan Tannehill are ready to take the next step. With an underrated RB, Lamar Miller, two wide receiver from the last two drafts, and Jordan Cameron from free agency. Ndamukong Suh was the big signing to fill any gaps the strong defense may have had.
3. Bills - The Bills once again will have a good defense but that is never the problem for them. I don’t know who the bigger signing is top RB LeSean McCoy or head coach Rex Ryan. The Bills have a lot of talent on both sides of the ball, except the one position you need to win in this league. The Bill will go with Tyrod Taylor to try to get this offense going. If nothing else they should be fun to watch.
4. Jets - The best thing that may have happened to the Jets is have the starting QB Geno Smith get sucker punched. I think Ryan Fitzpatrick is a proven QB who can move the ball and win games. The Jets are not a bad football team. They may not even finish last. But if they do I’m sure they will be the best last place team.

WEST

1. Broncos - Peyton Manning is once again being questioned if this is his last year and who knows. He will probably still throw for 30 TDs. WR Demaryius Thomas is a game changer and with some stability at RB in C.J. Anderson this will be another year with a high powered offense. The Broncos defense is getting better too. But the window is closing they need to win now.
2. Chiefs - Finally Alex Smith gets a good NFL quality WR. Jeremy Maclin will be bringing the big play for the Chiefs. Travis Kelce and Jamaal Charles will also be big contributors to this offense. The Chiefs have such a stingy defense that they alone will be winning games for the team.
3. Chargers - The Chargers have a good team but their record won’t show that. They added some pieces to the offense in Stevie Johnson and rookie RB Melvin Gordon. I don’t know if the defense will be able to stop teams in the fourth quarter. There will be a lot of close games. Hopefully they can get the ball to bounce their way.
4. Raiders - Once again I hear ‘The Raiders are a year away!’. And now the new one is “This is the Raiders year!’ Year for what? To finish 3rd? I’m not convinced the Derek Carr is the savior yet. I think its still too early. They think they found their RB in Latavius Murray, but I again think it’s too early. I do believe they have gotten better on both sides of the ball, but in such a strong division I see another 4th place finish.

NFC: 

NORTH

1. Packers - They may have lost Jordy Nelson, one of the best WRs in the league, for the year but they still have a perennial MVP QB in Aaron Rodgers who can turn another WR in one of the best in the league. The defense will be a good compliment to this dominating offense.
2. Vikings - The Vikings get Adrian Peterson back and with second year QB Teddy Bridgwater they should be surprising some teams by putting up some points this year. With their good defense they should be in games with a chance to win all year long.
3. Lions - I feel it's time that this once high powered offense to take a step back. The Lions have a really good defense, but will the offense be able to score the points needed to win the games?
4. Bears - All new coaches this year. Not a big fan of the head coach, but I love their offensive and defensive hires. But, the players are the still same and they are already battling injuries.

SOUTH

1. Panthers - Very unfortunate how this team lost Kelvin Benjamin, their young star WR, and only competent WR some may say. Good news is the Panthers are in the same spot they were in as last season and they won the division. They have one of the leagues strongest defenses and Jonathan Stewart who, if healthy, can be a dominate top 10 back. In a weak division they can come out on top. But with a winning record?…Maybe not.
2. Saints - With future Hall of Fame QB Brew Brees in his downward slide this offense will still put up points with their new and young offensive weapons. The only problem will be the defense may be on of the worst in the league.
3. Buccaneers - This could be the new up and coming team in the NFL. I don’t think many people are aware of how good this defense is. Hopefully, they finally found their QB with the first pick in last years draft. With talented WRs and a resurgent running game this team could do damage. I just hope the offensive line will keep the rookie QB upright for most of the season.
4. Falcons - With Matt Ryan and arguably the best WR in the league, Julio Jones, this team will still struggle during the season. Virtually no running game paired with one of the worst defenses in the league will make for a long season. 

EAST

1. Eagles - I am a big believer in this offense and I think they are going to pout up a ton of points. If Sam Bradford can stay healthy all year he could be in line for a MVP season. I also think the Eagles defense will be good enough to win this division.
2. Cowboys - Tony Romo and Dez Bryant will be a deadly combination for defenses this year. Once the Cowboys figure out the RB situation this offense will roll. But I think this team will show its weakness with a defense the over achieved last year.
3. Giants - This may be a sneaky team this year. Eli Manning is poised to have another great year and having Odell Beckham Jr for a full season will help with that. The Giants think they have reloaded on defense but I just don’t see it. They will contend all year but eventually miss the playoffs.
4. Redskins - I mean the Washington Football Club. This team is a mess. There is no leadership from management with the owner and head coach already not seeing eye to eye. RG3 has basically been cut but still on the team. Kirk Cousins is probably overrated but the head coach apparently loves him. Oh, and the defense is garbage.  Good luck.

WEST

1. Seahawks - They have Marshawn Lynch one of the best RBs in the league, they have Russell Wilson a QB that knows how to win football games, they just strengthened a weakness by getting Jimmy Graham a top TE that scores in the red zone, and oh yeah they still got that dominating defense.
2. Cardinals - The Cardinals are a team that has been getting better every year. The defense is good enough to get to and advance in the playoffs. If Carson Palmer can stay healthy all year they should contend and maybe win the division.
3. 49ers - This team is the biggest question mark in the entire league. Yes, they lost some star players, but they did get some back. Injuries decimated this team last year and they seem pretty healthy for now. And who know what these coaches are capable of. They could be the biggest surprises of the year. 
4. Rams - There is always hype about this team. Will this be the year? I'm guessing no. They traded talent for health at QB, which is a down grade in my opinion. There is still no one on the offense that will scare a defense, they are waiting for their rookie RB Todd Gurley to get healthy...but it's a rookie. But hey there is still that pretty good defense.

Playoffs

AFC Playoff Teams

1. Colts - The Colts dominate a weak division and get a fast pass to the number one seed.
2. Broncos - A hot start in the season is enough to lock up the second seed
3. Patriots - There will be big wins mixed with head scratching loses. They will miss out on an extra week of rest.
4. Steelers - A home playoff game is a good reward for winning a tough division.
5. Dolphins - In any other division they may have gotten a home game. But the playoffs are where they want to be.
6. Chiefs - The Chiefs get back in the playoffs and don’t want a repeat of two years ago.

NFC Playoff Teams  

1. Seahawks - The Seahawks are able to handle business and the home field advantage, which they know they will need.
2. Eagles - With a tough win on the road in the season finale a much needed first round by bye.
3. Packers - Another home playoff game is earned, but miss out on the second seed and a week off.
4. Panthers - Sneaking into the playoffs with a 7-9 record is nothing to be proud of, but someone from that division needed to be here.
5. Cardinals - Two years in a row making the playoffs, now healthy they want to do damage.
6. Cowboys - Last game of the year the Cowboys lose the finale, but so do every other team fighting for the playoffs and they get in by the back door. 

Wild Card Round

Chiefs @ Patriots - Even throughout the game an uncharacteristic turnover by Alex Smith stops a late drive to win the game. The Patriots move on.

Dolphins @ Steelers - The high flying Steelers prove to be too much for the young Dolphin team

Cowboys @ Packers - No controversy this time. The Packers win by double digits. Romo has two picks.

Cardinals @ Panthers - A healthy Cardinal teams shows up this time and beats up the Panthers. It’s not close...

Divisional Round

Patriots @ Broncos - The Broncos find a little more Mile High Magic and beat the Patriots at home again in the playoffs. Its the Broncos defense that seals the deal.

Steelers @ Colts - The Colts offense is too much for the Steelers defense in a high scoring game. 

Packers @ Eagles - The Packers defense slows down the Eagles offense. Late in a close game there is a 4th & 26, but no Freddie Mitchell this time and the Packers close the game.

Cardinals @ Seahawks - The Cardinals came in not afraid of the 12th man and stop a late drive by the Seahawks to get the win.

Conference Championship

Broncos @ Colts - An emotional game for Peyton as talk of his impending retirement reach an all time high with him coming back to Indy. Andrew Luck is able to figure out the Broncos defense to get a comfortable lead in the second half. Peyton begins his comeback and gets within one score before he tries to fit a pass in a small window and gets picked off. Colts again advance one more round.

Cardinals @ Packers - The road warriors that are the Cardinals have done it all this post season. Travel across country, beat a team that doesn’t lose at home in the playoffs, but now the face an unfamiliar task. The frozen tundra. Packers led by Eddie Lacy dominate the game. The Packers defense, along with the cold, don’t let the Cardinals offense even get started. The Packers are back in the Super Bowl.

Super Bowl 50

Packers vs Colts - It’s kinda fitting with the Super Bowl being in the Bay Area we have two QBs from Bay Area colleges. Aaron Rodgers (Cal Berkley) lead the Packers against Andrew Luck (Stanford) and the Colts. With precision passing, long runs, and big hits this is one of the most entertaining and memorable Super Bowls ever. I mean this is the Super Bowl no one will remember the halftime show. Back and forth they go with each teams defenses making timely stops. Frank Gore, coming back to the city where he made his career, breaks through up the middle for a TD run giving the Colts the lead with a little more than 2 minutes to go. Rodgers starts his 2 minute offense. With the ball inside the 20 yard line and needing a TD to win the game Rodgers (Cal Berkley) finds his rookie WR Ty Montgomery (Stanford) in the back of the end zone. The Packers win the Super Bowl.

The Packers are the fourth team to win five Super Bowls. Aaron Rodgers get the Super Bowl MVP. The Super Bowl fuels the rivalry between Stanford and Cal Berkley. They argue over which school has the Super Bowl hero, the guy that threw it or the guy that caught it.

Ok, that’s what I got. Let me know what you think. I know everyone has an opinion.
